CEREMONIES ARE BRIEF
Comrades Now Stand Guard Over
Body of Man Chosen for '
Unstinted Honors.
WASHINGTON. D. C Nor. . (By
the Associated Press.) A plain sol
dier, unknown but weighted with
honors as perhaps no American be
fore him, because he died for the flag
In France, lay tonight In a place
where only martyred Presidents Lin
coln, Garfield and McKinloy have
slept.
He kept lonely vigil, lying In state
under the vast, shadowy dome of the
capltol. Only the motionless figures
of the five armed" comrades, one at
the head and one facing Inward at
each corner of the bier, kept watch
with him.
But far above, towering from the
great bulk of the dome, the brooding
figure of freedom watched, too, as
though It said "well done" to servant,
faithful unto death, asleep there In
the vast, dim chamber below.
America's unknown dead Is home
from France, and the nation has no
honor too great for him. In him it
pays its unatinted tribute of pride and
glory to all those sleeping In France.
It was their home-coming today, their
day of days in the heart of the na
tion. Trlbate la Paid.
Sodden skies and a chilling rain
earned to mark the mourning of
America at the bier of this unknown
hero. . But from highest officials to
the last soldier or marine or blue
jacket, rain and eold meant noth'ng
beside the desire to d.o honor to the
hero soldier.
The ceremonies were brief. They
began when the boom of saluting
eannon down the river signaled the
coming of the great gray cruiser
O'ympla. Slowly the ship swung into
her dock. Along her rails stood her
crew, at attention, and with a soleraa
expression. Astern, under the long,
gray muzzle of a gun that echoed its
way Into history more than 20 years
ago In Manila bay, lay the flag-draped
casket. Above a tented awning held
off the rain, the Inner side of the can
vas lined with great American flags.
At attention stood five sailors and
marines as guards of honor.
Cnvnlry Is Escort.
Below on the old dock at Wash
ington navy-yard a regiment of cav
alry waited, sabers at "present." at
the black gun caisson with its six
black horse to carry the casket to
the capltol. The troopers faced to
ward the ship as she swung broadside
to her place and the gangway was
lifted to her quarter deck. To their
right a mounted band stilled its rest
less horses.
On the ship the files of her marine
guard stood at attention. Rear
Admlral I H. Chandler, who escorted
this dead private soldier across the
Atlantic, was garbed In the full, for
mal naval dress, as were officers of
his staff.
As the ship's bell clanged out "eight
bells," 4 o'clock, and the hour set
for arrival, the bugles rang again,
and the crew again lined the rails.
The marine guard filed down the
gangway to face the troopers across
the dock, and the ship's band came
down and formed beyond the marines.
On the deck at the gangway head
four sides-boy took their place on
each side, the boatswain waiting be
hind them to pipe a dead comrade
over the side with honors accorded
only to full admirals.
Officials Are Present.
Cars bearing Secretaries Weeks and
Denby, Assistant Secretary Waln
wrlght. General Pershing, Major
General Harbord. Admiral Coontz
and Major-O?neral Lejeune, the ma
rine commandant, and their aides
rolled up. These highest officers of
the army and navy formed In line
facing the open space between the
troops and marines.
On decks bugles called attention.
Petty officers stepped forward to
raise the . casket. Forward a gun
crashed the first roll of the minute
guns of sorrow. The Olympia's band
sounded Chopin's funeral march, and
to the slow half-step and carried high
on the shoulders of his navy and
marine corps comrades, the unknown
i lifted down to the dock. I
Admiral Chandler and his aides
came behind, cocked hats off in the
cold rain. Below, cabinet members
eUo stood bareheaded, army and navy
officers at salute.
As the casket passed over the side
to the plank, the wall of the bo'sun's
pipe shrilled the last salute of the
sea to the dead. It sounded oddlv
against the background of the dirge,
and as the sound of the pipe died
away the gun forward barked the
passing of another minute.
Step by step the bearers labored
down the plank to the dock. Again
the pipe above walled as they stepped
ashore. The unknown was again on
American soil.

Abolition of Street Cars, Dismissal
of Police If They Do Not Be
have, Are Proposed.
TOUNGSTOWN, O.. Nov. . A man
who has lived in Toungstown but
three months and whose platform
provided for discontinuance of street
car service, turning the streets over
to jitney buses and for jailing any
citizen who paid taxes under a recent
re-valuation, was elected yesterday
mayor over candidates backed by the
major party organizations. He is
George L Oles, who came in from
the country, established a residence
In a hotel and carried on an eccentric
advertising campaign without the
support of any particular element or
organization.
Other "planks" In Mr. Oles' plat
form include permitting "spooning"
In city parks under police protection.
dismissing the entire police force if
It "doesn't mend its ways," and
promise to turn over his salary to
charity.
The women's vote is believed to
have been responsible for Mr. Oles'
election.
Mr. Oles started in business here
with a barrel of potatoes and a
wheelbarrow. Now he has one of
the largest food businesses in the
city, conducting a market in a former
theater on the public square.
His advertising methods frequently
startled the city. He did not confine
his copy to the selling of potatoes
and onions, but discussed almost
every question of public Importance.
Mrs. Oles assisted the mayor-elect
In his whirlwind campaign and ob
servers assign to her much of the
credit for its success. They Inaugur
ated a plan of political meetings for
women, from which all men' were
excluded.
At all meetings, Mr. Oles, who says
be has tried to copy Billy Sunday,
the evangelist, always rushed on the
stage with arms in air shouting:
"Here I am! Vote for Oles."

GREAT RESULTS EXPECTED
Prospect for Settlement of Irish
Question Declared Brighter
Now Than Ever Before.
LONDON, Nov. 9. (By the Associ
ated Press.) The lord mayor's ban
quet tonight assumed more than na
tional importance when the premier,
replying tu the mayor's toast to the
cabinet ministers, followed the cus
tom of such gatherings at the his
torlo Guild hall of speaking his mind
regarding foreign affairs.
The tradition has been that the
premier must touch only on foreign
policies, but in response to the lord
mayor's suggestion mat the guests
anxiously awaited news of the- Irish
conference, Mr. Lloyd George ex-.
panded the statement made early in
his speech that "the Washington con
ference is like rainbow in tlie sky"
and then passed to Ireland.
He declared there was a better
prospect of Great Britain's proposals
to Ireland being heeded today and of
Ireland accepting the invitation to
enter the British commonwealth as
an equal than for years, but the con
ference was still in a critical stage.
Beyond this he refrained from divulg
ing the results or the possibilities of
the conferences.
World's Troubles Noted.
In his opening remarks the premier
alluded to the economio troubles af
flicting the world, such as followed
the Napoleonic wars. He expressed
the conviction that the force of the
cyclone was already spent and fol
lowed with a recital of numerous
symptoms Indicating that a revival
was coming, particularly noting the
fact that in every land the slackness
that seemed to overcome labor is
passing away.
"The world is settling down to
work," he said, "and It is work alone
that will fill the depleted tills which
will enable purchasers to come to the
markets. The blue sky Is beginning
to emerge; the Washington confer
ence is like a rainbow in the sky.

Soviet Premier Bases His Predic
tion on Conflict Upon Vorld
Chase for Gold.
MOSCOW, Nov. 1i (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Nikolai Lenlne, soviet
Russian premier, made the fourth an
niversary of the soviet republic today
the occasion of an article in an anni
versary numDer issued by the pravda.
In which he predicts the world chase
for gold will result in wars between
America- and Japan or America and
England by 1925 or 192S.
The article Is entitled The Value
of Gold Now and After the Victory
of Socialism." He says that the soviet
government has merely retreated in
the attack on world capitalism and is
strengthening Its position.
These attacks, he predicts, will
after 20 years or so enable Russian
.communists to achieve an economic
victory which will make it possible
to employ all the gold that exists In
the building of public structures that
will demonstrate how foolish is was
to kill 30,000,000 men In the world
war for the sake of gold and how
foolish are capitalistic posers who are
planning wars over gold such as those
he predicts.
"Due to the establishment of a firm
dictatorship of the proletariat." con
tinues the article, "we are strong
enough to retreat without demoral
ization or disorganization and pre
pare for the economic upbuilding of
the government on a socialistic basis.
We must savs all the gold Russia
possesses. We must sell dearer and
buy more cheaply. Among wolves
one has to be a wolf and kill others.
"Trade la the single economic link
between the millions of small agri
culturists and the system of supply
through the government. The new
system does not mean an entire
break with the old economio organi
zations, but that we are trying to
revive the trade of small holders and
capitalism, with the purpose of sub
mitting them to state regulation as
we ourselves revive.
"We have retired to state capital
ism. We are retiring to state regula
tion of trade. Already there are vis
ible signs of our retirement."

TIGER HUNTING IN THE JUNGLES OF NEW
Why Consumer Pays Twice as Much
as Farmer Gets Discussed Jy
San Jose Marketer.
KANSAS CITY. Nov. 9. Why the
finished product of farm and cattl
range costs the consumer more than
twice as much as th farmer or cattle
grower gets for his product was dis
cussed today at a conference held un
der the auspices of the chamber of
commerce of the United States. The
figures were supplied by J. N. Van
Der Vries. Chicago, general western
manager of the chamber. He said
statistics gathered by the chamber
showed that the farmer and livestock
raiser received about 97 per cent of
the amount the consumer paid for
farm products.
Thomas E. Wilson, Chicago packer,
said that 89 per cent of the amount
the packers- received for all meat
products went to the livestock raiser.
leaving a gross margin of profit oil
11 per cent to the packers.
Vernon Campbell of San Jose. Cal..
who was active in building co-operative
marketing organizations' among
fruit growers of the Pacific coast, dis
cussed retailing and Jobbing prob
lems. "Ten years ago," he said, "we had
one grocery store for every 1000 con
sumers. Now statistics show we have
one grocery store for every 250 peo
ple. It makes necessary either much
more efficient methods must be prac
ticed by the retail grocer, or he must
make a larger margin of profit. If
he Is to survive."
He said that the experience of the
fruit growers had been that much
unnecessary cost of distribution was
due to the fact that jobbing centers
were too few and too widely scat
tered. He suggested that greater dif
fusion of wholesale establishments,
dealing direct with the retailer, would
eliminate much unnecessary jobbing
cost.
Mr. Van Der Vrles said that the
conference was making an honest
effort to find out some of the things
that are wrong with the present sys
tem of distribution with a view to
eliminating unnecessary costs and Im
proving the system.

Republican Leaders Not
at All Excited.
LITTLE ENTHUSIASM NOTED
Neither Side Apparently Much
Disposed to Boast.
SOME INCOMPETENTS WIN
Evidence of Public Degeneration
Held Disclosed In Election Re
sults In Some Sections.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUHEAU,
Washington, D. C, Nov. 9. (Special.)
Administration leaders today could
find nothing in yesterday's election
results to get excited about. An
analysis of the returns disclosed no
development to create either en
thusiasm or discouragement.
If anything happened to give
serious pause to students of politics
In this country it is the sign of public
degeneration which cropped out In a
few places. The leaders of neither of
the two great political parties will
care to boast loudly about the In
stances in which landslides occurred.
On the one hand. John F. Hylan,
reputed among Intelligent men of
both parties to be the mostly grossly
Incompetent mayor New York has
had, was re-elected 'by a record ma
jority, more than 400,000, on the
democrat ticket. He was opposed by
the better democrats of the city, both
Wilson and anti-Wilson.
Another Incompetent Wins.
On the other hand, Samuel Lewis
Shank, an auctioneer who once made
a pitiable mess of the office of mayor
of Indianapolis, was swept back Into
power by a majority greater by sev
eral thousand than the Harding vic
tory in that city a year ago. He
won this overwhelming victory ss a
republican over a considerably better
democrat, after disclosures which
would have crushed him out of poli
tical existence anywhere else than in
Indianapolis or New Tork. Political
observers are only curious to know
what would have happened if Hyland
and Shank had been pitted against
each other in either one of their home
towns.
In Indiana, also, two ex-convicts
made splendid races for mayoralty
jobs, which showed that some of the
voters yesterday did not care much
about the politics of some candidates
provided they had good prison records.
One republican and ten democratic
mayors were elected In New York
cities because they were so much
better than their opponents and de
voted their campaigns entirely to
crusades against Mr. Volstead, sponsor
of the present national dry law.
Party Questions Shelved.
In all of the municipal elections
local Issues were Involved and not in
a single city so far as known was
there a straight-out fight between
republicans and democrats on party
questions.
The republicans retained control of
the legislatures of New York and New
Jersey; Virginia, as usual, went demo
cratic and Kentucky, which was
slightly republican In the lower house
of the legislature, returned to Its
natural political moorings.
So far as can be learned President
Harding was assailed only in one
spot during these local contests and
that was In Louisville, Ky., where a
republican mayor was chosen by more
than a normal margin. At neither
the republican nor democratic 'na
tional headquarters in this city was
there anv stir to Indicate a snperilno-
up of party organization energy on !
account of yesterday's results.

Announcement Made by Chancellor
In Course of Statement on
Prospects of Budget.
. LONDON. Nov. 9. (By the Associ
ated Press.) An arrangement has
been made to begin paying the Inter
est on the debt owed by Great Bri
tain to the United States at the rate
of 50.000,000 yearly, it was an
nounced in the house of commons to
day by Sir Robert Home, the chan
cellor of the exchequer.
Sir Robert made this announce
ment in the course of a statement on
the budget prospects. He added with
emphasis:
"I hope this remark about the debt
we owe America will not be made the
occasion for any discussion of the
Inter-allied Indebtedness. It does not
conduce to the friendliness between
America and ourselves to discuss that
matter at all at present.
"Any careful reader of the Ameri
can press," he continued, 'would dis
cover how much harm already has
been done by that discussion. Our
attitude in regard to our debt must
be that what we owe we shall always
be prepared to pay, and that we shall
meet our obligations, however hard
and difficult the circumstances . may
be."
WASHINGTON,-D. C, Nov. 9. (By
the Associated Press.) The treasury
is as yet without advices from Great
Britain as to that government's in
tention to begin the payment of in
terest upon its debt to the United
States, officials said today.
However, officials said, it was prob
able that Great Britain was prepar
ing to begin Interest payments under
the tentative understanding by which
the Interest on the debt was deferred
for a three-year period ending next
April.
The British debt now stands ap
proximately at 14,166,000,000 with
Interest payable at 6 per cent. There
is, however, accumulated interest
which would amount to about $600,
000,000 on November 15.
