Casket Is Placed Beneath
Arc de Triomphe.
SILENCE IS OPPRESSIVE
All Official and Judicial Paris
Hears President Millerand
Speak at Pantheon.
PARIS, Nov. 11. (By the Associated
ProBs.) An unidentified soldier, the
symbol of France's victory in the war,
was laid in his final resting place be
neath. the Arc de Triomphe today in
an apothesis of glory accompanied by
expressions of the ' gratitude of two
millions of his countrymen and allies.
Never In the history of France has
a king: or emperor been afforded such
honors as those rendered the unknown
soldier. The body of Napoleon re
turning from St. Helena did not stir
the French to such a depth of emotion
as did this obscure nameless man.
Not a cheer was heard and not a
tear was shed, the five-year war having-
long since dried up the wells of
Paris' tears. Tire silence was respect
fully oppressive. Today broke dull
with a heavy fog hanging like a pall
over the silent city.
Pantheon Ceremony Impreaalve.
The most impressive ceremony was
at the pantheon, where all the prom
inent men of political, official and
judicial Paris had assembled. Three
marshals of France, all the generals
prominent in the war and the whole
diplomatic corps with the exception of
th German ambassador, listened to
President Millerand's speech.
Addressing the soldier's coffin.
President Millerand alluded to the
American soldiers, saying:
"Unknown soldier, nameless and
triumphant representative of the gal
lant multitude of poilus; the dead
who lie in cold graves in the soli of
Flanders, Champagne. Verdun and aq
many other battlefields, famous or
unknown; young heroes who came to
us from the other side of the Atlantic
the British Isles and distant domin
ions, from Italy, Belgium and Serbia,
from all points of the earth to offer
your lives for the ideal which France
once more is representing, sleep in
peace! You have fullilled your des
tiny." Trlljuf.e Paid Less Gambetta.
President Millerand ended his ad
dress with a tribute to Leon Gambet
ta, the famous French patriot.
After the president's oration, the
procession took up the march to the
Arc de Triomphe. President Miller
and walked bareheaded with Marshals
Foch, Joffre and Petain, in full re
galia, following behind a battered .155
gun of the model of 1915 bearing the
body of the unknown soldier.
Mutilated soldiers, painfully draw
ing their wounded bodies, but with
faces radiant with pride, opened the
procession, "we captured Givenchy,"
one soldier minus a. leg said. T!
would go through It again if neces
sary." Old poilus of th Mame battle of
1914, wearing red trousers and kepis,
received suoauea applause, wniie
flowers were thrown from windows
on the car bearing the heart of Gam
betta. The procession reached the
Arc de Triomphe Bhortly after noon.
The body of the poilu and an urn con
taining the heart of Gambetta were
placed in the Chapelle Ardente and
the procession broke up. The crowds
were permitted to file past the coffin
for one last look at the soldier draped
In the tri-color flag, above whloh was
the inscription, 'Thou shalt not pass,"
to achieve which, this, as well as a
million and a half other French, gave
up their lives.
This afternoon a group of little
girls in the name of the French gov
ernment decorated the graves of
American soldiers in Suresnes ceme
tery in the presence of Ambassador
Wallace, American Legion and French
officials and numerous Americana.
Ambassador Wallace Speaks.
Tn his address Ambassador Wallace
said.: "I wish to thank these children
for coming here today to place flowers
on our soldiers' graves. I wish to
thank them not only for myself and
in the name of my government, but I
venture to express to them the grati
tude of every American mother whose
son lies buried in France and also of
every American child whose father
fell on a French battlefield. The
people of France never forget our
dead when mourning their own, and
today they give us another proof of
that sympathy which unites us,
whether In Joy or m sorrow, whether
in adversity or the full tide of suc
cess." Kverywhere In the province the
anniversary of the armistice was
celebrated with much solemnity. The
garrison troops In many cities
marched In review and wreaths were
laid on the graves of those killed in
the war or on the monuments erected
In their memory.

King lays .Wreath as Tribute to
' Fallen Soldiers.
LONDON, Nov. 1L (By the Asso
ciated Prees.) In historic Whitehall
tonight Great Britain's newly un
veiled monument to her "glortous
dead" stood half buried beneath
hundreds of flower tokens of the
nation's sorrowing appreciation of
their sacrifices.
A few hundred yards away, in
Westminster abbey, amidst the tombs
of the realm's great men reposed the
body of the empire's "newest im
mortal" an Unidentified comrade of
those whose deeda the cenotaph
memorializes.
Ever part of the empire, all classes
of its citizens from the king to
bereaved relatives of the humblest
private, participated In the impreg.
siv unveiling ceremonies and the
subsequent burial rites In the abbey-.
Whitehall and the streets adjacent to
the abbey were jammed with people,
most of whose faces mutely told the
tale of lost loved ones. The two
minutes silence which fell over this
old concourse a "Big Ben" thundered
the hour of 11 seemed to vibrate
with the repressed emotions.
It was a silence broken only by the
hysterical shriek of a woman who
collapsed from the intensity of its
epell. On the 10th stroke of the
great gong the king pulled the cord
unveiling the Imposing monument and
with the others stood uncovered and
with bowed head.
Then after his wreath and those
of the Prince of Wales and the offi
cial colonial representatives had been
deposited at the base of the cenotaph,
the field marshal pallbearers with
their hallowed burden moved off to
the .abbey, the king following the
flag-draped" coffin.
At the conclusion of the services in
the abbey, the sound of muffled drums
rumbled through the ancient edifice;
bugles sounded and the king and
members of the royal party filed out
slowly. Throughout the afternoon
great lines extended from the
cenotaph through the ' length of
Whitehall across Trafalgar square
waiting to swell the accumulation of
flowers about the monument.
Never before has London witnessed
such vast and patient -crowds. At a
late hour tonight they were still
silently filing by the cenotaph,' many
depositing wreaths, and through the
abbey past "the grave of the unknown
soldier. The abbey was to be kept
open until midnight If necessary for
all desiring to enter.
All during the afternoon tens of
thousands of persons awaited their
turn at the barricades to pass along
Whitehall and past the cenotaph. Two
lines, four abreast, were kept moving
on each side of the monument, which
is in the middle of the street. Be
fore those without admission tickets
were allowed past magnificent floral
tributes were piled high upon the
cenotaph and when the public began
depositing its floral offerings the
police had difficulty in handling the
thousands of bouquets and wreaths.
John W. Davie, the American am
bassador, after the ceremonies in
Westminster Abbey, placed a wreath
on the grave of the unidentified sol
dier. It bore the words:
"America will not forget."

Surprise Sprung When Little
Sweetheart Is Declared. Cham

LEWISTON, Idaho, Nov. 11. (Spe
cial.) Today marked the close of
judging at the northwest livestock
show. One of finest exhibits was the
sheep. J. G. S. Hubbard and sons,
Monroe, Or., had an exceptional dis
play of Lincolns, winning practically
all prizes, also the champion ram and
ewe. Hubbard also showed fine qual
ity Southdowns though meeting more
competition for jrlze money. The
Butterfield Livestock company of
Weiser, Idaho, won over all other
competitors in the Hampshire class
and swept the field with a beautiful
flock of Rambou'lletsi winning cham
pionship for both ram and ewe. J. F.
Toft, Caldwell, Idaho, was ' the only
exhibitor of Cotswolds. S. C. Star,
Belle Fountain, Or., had a fine bflnch
of Oxfords, winning several places
and championship for the ewe in the
Shorthorn contest.
A surprise was sprung by judges
who awarded to Little Sweetheart,
owned by T. W. Glide, Davis, CaL, the
grand championship for cows. Hercu
les Matchless, owned by Day uc
Rothrock, Spokane, won the honor
over Little Sweetheart at the Spokane
show last week. Breeders are already
anticipating a contest between these
two beautiful animals at Portland
next week and bets are being placed
as to whether Little Sweetheart can
bold the championship.
The famous Day & Rothrock herd
of Shorthorns carried off most honors
among 15 exhibitora.
It was generally agreed that E. O.
& C. K. Loe, Silverton, Or., had as
fine an exhibit of Poland China swine
as was ever seen here. They carried
off many prizes in regular exhibit.
and won high honors in national
futurity.
Although most entries in various
classes of horses were from the vicin

Mayor Is Severely Questioned at
Xew York Hearing.
'NEW YORK, Nov. 11. (By the
Associated Press.) Under severe
questioning by the committee's coun
sel. Mayor John F. Hylan, on the wit
ness stand before the Joint legislative
committee investigating the "building
trust," today admitted that he had
been made a victim of John T. Hat
trick's "labor union game in the in
terests of the limestone ring."
Hotly resenting any imputations
that any "personal interest" had
caused him to submit to the requests
of Hettrick, alleged promoter of the
Contractors' Clearing House for Bid
ding, Mayor Hylan said he had been
"fooled" into sending suggestions
made by Hettrick - to the building
committee of the board of education
that resulted in contracts involving
$15,000,000 worth of work going to
stone contractors instead of terra
cotta interests.
These suggestions contained in a
letter to the board of education "ex
plaining" tne advantages of limestone
over terra cotta. Mayor Hylan said,
were based solely upon information
Contained in a memorandum drafted
for him by Hettrick, whom he said
he did not know. This letter Mr.
Untermyer branded as "pure fabrica
tion and a pack of lies." While the
mayor was on the stand he was con
tinually in a clash with Samuel Un
termyer of the committee's counsel
The letter told of the circumstances
surrounding th shooting of Clark.
xne foreman was employed on the
night of October 1? by a foreman
subordinate, James Reilty. Coming
fiut of the garage at Reilly's Long
Island City home, where ft was quite
dark, the two were confronted with
out warning by three strangers, one
of whom asked: "Which of you is
ReillyT" " '
"I'm Reilly," was the reply of the
assistant foreman.
"Then you" are Clark?" sharply in
terrogated the first speaker.
"I'm Clark," answered the man who
repeated the tale of the cart driver.
Instantly the shots rang out. Clark
fell to the ground and before either
he .or "his companion could recover
from the shock of the sudden attack
the gangmen had escaped. A heavy,
old-fashioned watch In Clark's left
breast pocket saved his rife by de
flecting the first bullet. A second
grazed his shoulder, while the third
went wild.
