that they reflected a view today that

M. Briand's desire In connection
with the armament conference Is that
nothing should be withheld from the
American public as to the military,
economic or political situation of
France or the reasons why that gov
ernment is or might be Impelled to
1 one course or another.

WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. 8.
America's unknown dead from France
was in home waters tonight, 'riding
In state aboard the old cruiser Olym
pia over the waters of Chesapeake
bay.
Tomorrow, to the crash of guns
from saluting forts and naval posts,
the treasured casket will move in
honored progress up the historic
Potomac. In preparation for its ar
rival lata tomorrow events were
shaping themselves toward a climax
of honors on armistice day.
As the Olympia steams slowly up
the rfver, the guns of Fort Washing
ton will roar the national salute of
21 guns to her half-masted flag.
Off Mount Vernon, the ship will
pay Its homage to the tomb of Wash
ington. Again at Washington bar
racks a battery will hammer out ite
21-gun message, to be repeated again
at Washington navy-yard as the old
ship ends her journey.
Even as she turns into the Pptomac
early tomorrow-the Olympia will re
ceive the first highest naval honors
for the unknown soldier she carries.
The battleship North Dakota lies a
distance up the river with guns and
flags waiting to pay tribute. And
ahead of the cruiser will steam the
destroyer Burnadu as escort of honor
to the dead.
At the navy-yard tbe navy will sur
render to the army comrades of the
dead man custody of the casket that
marks in the nation's history the
glory of him who dies for the flag.
He will be given back to the keeping
of the khaki-clad men with whom he
fought in France. His hero guard of
honor alone will lay hands on his
coffin thereafter.
The transfer will be In full cere
mony. As the casket leaves the ship
the guns of the Olympia will boom
out 21 times. The ship's band will
play a dirge as the body is carried
down the gangway with soldiers and
sailors at present arms and officers
at salute. ,
Received by the army, the casket
will be placed by the selected non
commissioned officers -ef army and
navy and marine corps in a motor
hearse and a squadron of cavalry and
mounted band will lead the- way to
ward the capitol. where the cata
falque awaits under the vast dome,
the catafalque on which ' Lincoln,
Garfield and McKinley lay. .
A guard of honor will wait at the
flight of steps leading up to this
resting place and the men in khaki
will keep vigil about the bier until
ft is carried out armistice day to its
niche on the terrace of the memorial
amphitheater at Arlington cemetery.
Late in the day, and before the
public may pass through the great
rotunda. President Harding will lay
a wreath on the casket. Vice-President
Coolidge also will place a floral
tribute on the coffin and Senator
Cummins, president pro tern, of the
senate, and Speaker Gillett of the
house will place there the wreath
congress has voted.
Through the night and until the
booming of minute guns on armistice
day to beat out the passing of this
honored soldier to his last rest, four
armed sentries will stand at the cor
ners of the bier. Each branch of the
army and navy will furnish men for
this inner guard. Before them will
pass on Thursday a throng of Ameri
cans paying- homage. Not a minute
of that day but has been claimed by

Fogerty, engineer of the Illinois Cen
tral limited train, which was held up
near Paxton last night, and the only
member of the train crew who took
part in the affray and escaped unin
jured, told of how the bullets flew
past mm, now he saw two of his
companions shot and his other ex
periences, here this morning.
"The first intimation I had f the
robbery came shortly after I had left
Paxton, he said. "I was reaching
down to pick up a glove-when I heard
a grunt. I turned around. A masked
man clambered down beside me and
thrust a revolver against my ribs.
Another had the fireman covered.
"Stick 'em up,'" he shouted.
"Before I could reply he hadme
slov
uown ana run on down to the
bridge across the Vermillion river.
" 'How many mail coaches are
there?" he asked.
"I told him there were four and
he made me take them down. He
had a bunch of men waiting at the
river and had me flash the headlight
twice rt& let them know all was well
with him. The bandit allowed me to
send a man back to flag other trains.
Then be forced me to climb down and
go back to the mall car.
"In front of me the mall clerks
ordered us to halt They were armed.
One bandit, his revolver still sticking
In my ribs, pushed a flashlight into
my hands.
" 'Show them who you re,' he com
manded. "The flashlight felt like fire In my
hand as I pushed the button. "Don't
shoot, Tm the engineer," I cried out.
"Tbe mall clerks slammed the door
shut. Tbe bandits waited a short
time then they placed a stick of
dynamite under the mall car. It waa
not strong enough to wreck the car,
but another opened the door.
"A moment later one of the mall
clerks was lying to one side with a
gash in his head and the other was
standing with his arms high in the
air alongside the car. Two of the
men blew the safe. The fireman and
I were forced to lie flat on the bot
tom of the car while the bandits
worked.
"By this time, the passengers were
firing In our direction. From the cars
in front armed guards poured a
stream of bullets toward the mall
car. Flames from gasoline or waste.

eler. Tells or Plans for Big Ex

KANSAS CITY. Mo.. -Nov. 8. Vll
hjalmur Stefansson. Arctic explorer,
announced tonight that a party he
had sent from Nome, Alaska, to

what be said would be a huge British
exploring party Into the north, had
arrived safely at Its destination.
.The announcement was made fol
lowing Mr. Stefansson's arrival oa

on Wrangel island, he said, It had be
come possible for him to discuss In
partial fashion some of tbe plans un
der consideration.

island party, he explained, all of
whom were picked because of hero
ism or especial Initiative shown on
previous expeditions. The party left

a ship obtained expressly for the
purpose.

confined, he said, to arranging' the
base for the big British party, which
will be formed in Canada or England
In March. Beyond saying it Is planned
to make the British party one of the
most extensive exploring expeditions
that ever went into the north, Mr.

ment as to the purpose of the British
expedition probably would be made in
London when the party is orgarlzed

leave Kansas City tomorrow, but de
clined to give his destination.
