WASHINGTON, D. C Not. 11. (By

wide and starry skies of Ms own
W
A
omeland, America's unknown dead
Irora France sleeps tonight, a soldier
home from the wars.
Alone, he Ilea In the narrow cell of
stone that guards his body; but his
soul has entered into the spirit that
is America. Wherever liberty Is held
close In men's hearts, the honor and
the glory and the pledges of his en
deavor poured out over this nameless
one of fame will be told and sung
by Americans for all time.
Scrolled across the marble arch of
the memorial raised to American sol
dier and sailor dead every here,
which stands like a monument behind
his tomb, runs this legend:
"We here highly resoive that thess
dead shall not have died In vain."
Great Mti Hear Pledge.
The words were spoken by martyred
Lincoln over the dead at Gettysburg
And today with voice strong with
determination and ringing with deep
emotion another president echoed that
high resolve over the coffin of the
soldier who died for the flag In
France.
Great men In the world's affairs
heard that high purpose reiterated
by the man who stands at the head of
the American people. Tomorrow they
will gather In the city that stands
almost In the shadow of the new
American shrine of liberty dedicated
today. They will talk of peace, of
the curbing of the havoc of war.
They will speak of the war In France
that robbed this soldier of life and
name and brought death to comrades
of . all nations by the hundreds ot
thousands.- And, In their ears, when
they meet, must ring President Har
ding's declaration today beside thai
flag-wrapped, honor-laden bier:
Other Dead Alao Asleep.
"There must be, there shall be, the
eommandlng voice of a conscious civ
ilisation against armed warfare."
Far across the seas, other unknown
dead, hallowed In memory by their
countrymen, as this American soldier
Is enshrined In the heart of America,
sleep their last He, in whose veins
ran the blood of British forebears, lies
beneath the Arc de Triomphe and he
of Italy under the altar of the father
land In Rome.
And It seemed today that they, too,
must be here among the Potomao
hills to greet an American comrade
come to Join their glorious company.
to testify their approval of the hlghi
woras or nope, spoken by America's
president. All day long the nation
h poured out Its heart In pride and
glory for the nameless American. Be
fore the first crash of the minute
gins roared Its knell for the dead,
rrom the shadow of Washington mon
ument, the people who claim him as
their own were trooping out to do
him honor.
Long Road Is Lined.
They lined the long rosd from the
capliol to the hillside where he sleeps
tonight; they flowed like a tide over
the slopes about his burial place;
they choked the bridges that lead
aoross the river to the fields of tin
brave, in which he is the latest comer.
As he was carried past through the
banks of humanity that lined Penn
sylvania avenue, a solemn, reverent
hush held the living walls. Yet there
was not so much of sorrow as of high
pride in it all, a pride beyond the
reach of shouting and the clamor that
marks less sacred moments In life
Out there in the broad avenue was
a simple sn'.dler, dead for honor of
the flag. He was nameless. No man
knew what part in the great life of
the nation he had filled when last he
passed over his home soil. But In
Prance, he hsd died as Americans
always have been ready to die for the
flag and what It means. They rest
the message of the pageant clear,
these silent thousands along the way.
They stood In almost holy awe to
take their own part in whage was
theirs, the glory of the American
people, honored here In the honors
showered on America nameless son
from France.
Vnlformed Mrs) Take Part.
Soldiers, saliors and maiines all
played their part in the thrilling spec
tacle as the cortege rolled along. And
Just behind the casket, with Its faded
French flowers on the draped flag,
walked the president, the chosen
leader of a hundred million in whose
name he was chief mourner at this
er. Beside him strode the man
under whom the fallen hero had lived
and died in France. General Pershing.

tory that every American soldier
Fundamental Principles Declared
Impossible Prompt Rejection
of Government Proposals.
LONDON, Not. 11. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The Ulster cabinet to
day rejected the government's plan
for a settlement of the Irish ques
tion, on the ground that it contained
fundamental principles which under
existing conditions were impossible
of attainment. The Ulster minis
ters, however, are putting forward
counter proposals,
A communique Issued by the North
ern Ireland cabinet suggests that the
government should consider these
counter proposals before the proposed
meeting of the British and Ulster
cabinets.
The text of the communique said:
"The suggestions put forward by the
Imperial government were received
late last night and were considered.
The Ulster cabinet is drawing up a
detailed reply which it is hoped to
forward shortly.
"As. however, eentatn fundamental
principles are Involved in the sug
gestions which under existing circum
stances are impossible of attainment.
Sir James Craig (the premier), with
the unanimous approval of his col
leagues, has Informed the prime mtn
later that no usefu purpose would
be served by holding a formal con
sultation between his majesty's gov
ernment and the government of
Northern Ireland until certain sug
gestions in the government's pro
posals are withdrawn.
"The formal reply of the Ulster
cabinet will indicate other and more
practicable means of securing peace
without infringing upon the rights of
Ulster."
The Ulster men reassembled this
afternoon to consider a communique
to Mr. Lloyd George, which was ex
pected to be dispatched to him to
night. In government circles the sugges
tion was mads that (he next develop
ment probably would be an attempt
by the premier to convene a three-
cornered conference of committees,
limited to two representatives from
each group. When this suggestion
was communicated to the Sinn Fein
delegates, one of them is said to have
replied:
"The Ulsterites would have to pro
duce Tery adequate reasons before
the Sinn Fein delegation would con
sent to a Joint conference with rep
resentatives of both Ulster and the
government."

President Harding's Address at
Burial of Unknown Soldier Is
Topic of All Delegates.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 11. (By
the Associated Press.) With the eyes
of all the world fixed hopefully upon
them, the accredited spokesmen of the
powers will meet In Washington to
morrow to try to find a way to ease
the heavy burden of armements.
In the historic quest Great Britain,
France. Italy, Japan and the United
States, the group which acting to
gether can turn the whole tide of
civilization Into new channels, all
have pledged a solemn and deter
mined co-operation.
In addition China, Belgium. Portu
gal and the Netherlands, invited be
cause of the vital Interest in the per
tinent and crucial problems of the far
east, will sit in conference to com
plete the circle of those who are to
strive for the new day of Interna
tional relationship.
Confidence Is Manifested.
Outward manifestations of confi
dence In the success of the negotia
tions never have been more in prom
inence than on the eve of the assem
bflng of the delegates in formal con
clave. Every nation Is declared by
its leaders to be ready to come to the
conference table with a spirit of un
qualified good will for every other,
and behind there is a great urging
force of world opinion seeking trans
lation into the covenants of perma
nent friendship. -
Among the statesmen and diplo
mats of the visiting- nations the great
topic of Interest tonight was the ad
dress' made at Arlington today by
President Harding, who summoned
the conference into being and who
will welcome it to American soil to
morrow. Full Leadership Taken.
Upon every hand were heard ex
pressions of satisfaction that in pay
ing his tribute to America's soldier
dead the chief executive .grasped his
opportunity to renew the pledge of
the United States to take its full
share of leadership Jn the attain
ment ef a better order.
In the fulfillment of that pledge It
is the expectation of all the delegates
that the American government will
place before the conference as soon as
it begins Its work a concrete proposal
for armament limitation. Such a pro
posal has been prepared by the Ameri
can delegates and there seems to be,
universal agreement that as the initi
ator of the negotiations the United

Ceremony Held In Berlin Is Partic
ipated In by Chancellor Wirth
and Commissioner Dresel.
BERLIN, Nov. 11. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Ratifications of the
German-American peace treaty were
exchanged nere tonight at the for
eign office between Ellis Lorlng
Dresel, the American commissioner,
and Dr. Karl Wlrth. chancellor and
minister of foreign affairs.
The ceremony, which means a re
turn to friendly relations between
Germany and the United States, took
place at 6:30 o'clock this afternoon.
It consumed less than five minutes.
The exchange of ratifications was to
have occurred at noon, but owing to
numerous other appointments of
Chancellor Wirth, Mr. Dresel was
compelled to await a summons to the
foreign office.
This came by telephone late this
afternoon,' and the -American commis
sioner, accompanied by Frederick R.
Dolbeare, secretary of the American
mission, motored to the foreign office,
where they were received by Dr.
Wirth and Dr. Haniel von Halmhau
sen, under-secretary for foreign af
fairs. Both plenipotentiaries signed in du
plicate the protocol certifying that
the ratifications had been duly exe
cuted. The duplicate copy of the
treaty containing Germany's ratify
ing preamble, which will rest in the
archives of the state department at
Washington, is bound in dark red
leather and tied with ribbons repre
senting the republican colors of Ger
many. It bears the signatures "Ebert",
and "Wirth.-
The preamble is considerably briefer
than that of the copy which Mr.
Dresel -lellvered to the German gov
ernment. It merely records the fact
that the authoritative bodies of Ger
many having approved the treaty
the president of Germany pledges its
fulfillment.
Article three of the peace treaty
with Germany provides that the
treaty "shall take effect Immediately
on the exchange of ratifications."
Article three reads:
"The present treaty shall be rati
fied in accordance with the constitu
tional forms of the high contracting
parties and shall take effect imme
diately on the exchange of ratifica
tions, which shall take place as soon
as possible at Berlin."
WASHINGTON.-5. C. Nov. 11,
(By the Associated Press.) The ex
change of ratifications of the German-American
peace treaties follows
similar action on the Austrian treaty
In Vienna. President Harding, it is
now expected, will Issue his procla
mation of peace, which will operate
to bring the terms of the two treaties
into effect in this country.
The exchanges complete the Imme
diate steps of bringing about a state
of peace with the former enemy
powers, although a Hungarian-American
treaty is yet to be completely ac
cepted in Budapest. The administra
tion is understood to be prepared next
to move toward establishing full
diplomatic relations with Germany
and Austria by appointing ambassa
dors, setting up consular machinery
and negotiating supplementary agree
ments such as commercial conventions
and extradition treaties.
The treaties are based on the
Porter-Knox resolution enacted early
last summer and reserve to the
United States several of the terms
and clauses of the Versailles treaty.
Former Executive Receives Many
Demonstrations ; Voice Too Weak
to Reply to Greetings.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Not. 11. (Br
the Associated Press.) Ex-President
Wilson made his first public appear
ance today since he left tne White
House, riding in the funeral proces
sion for the unknown dead, soldier,
and later greeting a crowd gathered
at his home.
Everywhere Mr. Wilson received a
demonstration. When his carriage
entered the funeral line at the foot
of Capitol Hill he was greeted with
a fluttering of handkerchiefs and
then with handclapplng ana) cheer
ing which continued until he left' the
line after passing the White House,
where he .exchanged salutes with
President Harding.
The demonstration at his home was
of greater proportions. It was ar
ranged as a non-partisan affair by
a committee of seven women, for
whim Hamilton Holt of New Tork
was the spokesman.
"We congratulate you, a wounded
soldier of the world war, on your re
gaining your health," Mr. Holt said
to the ex-president, who had come
to- the front portico of his home to
receive the committee. "We pledge
you our honor and respect Tour
work shall not die."
When the cheering which greeted
this statement had subsided Mr. Wil
son made ,hls first public utterance
since he was taken 111 more than two
years ago.
"I wish I had voice enough to re
ply to you," he said. "I can only
thank you from the bottom of my
heart. God bless you."
The ex-president's words brought
renewed applause.
"Good-bye,- and thank you." Mr.
Wilson responded. "Voices started up
"My Country, Tis of Thee," and at
the end of the first stanza Mr. Wilson
kissed his hand to the crowd, while
Mrs. Wilson, at his side, wept silently.
A minute more and Mr. Wilson had
re-entered his home, but it was half
an hour before the crowd dispersed,
the ex-president appearing at a win
dow on the second floor in response
to repeated calls.
Half an hour before the committee
of women arrived, four wounded sol
diers from Walter Reed hospital drew
up in front of the home in an auto
mobile. A few minutes later the for
mer .president appeared. There was
a cheer and the crowd rushed from
all sides, scattering police and Boy
Scouts until the street was choked.
Mr. Wilson doffed his high hat In
response to the cheers and then was
assisted as ha slowly descended the
steps. He shook hands with each of
the wounded- men in turn as the crowd
continued Its cheering and waving of
handkerchiefs, flags and flowers.
Returning to the steps, a few feet
away, the former president received
a group of little children, shaking
hands with each. Several bunches of
chrysanthemums were presented by
the children and mby women who
rushed to the door from the crowd.
Mr. Wilson re-entered his home
but soon appeared at an upper win
dow In response to continued ap
plause. Soon the committee and or
ganizations responsible for arrang
ing the demonstration arrived from
Arlington. During the short wait
that preceded the second' appearance
of the former president on the portico
women in the crowd on a terraced lot
across the street began to sing "The
Star-spangled Banner." Other voices

Thousands upon thousands pouring
in a steadily increasing stream by
automobile and street car throughout
the entire day overwhelmed the Fa
ciflo International Livestock exposi
tion yesterday with the greatest
crowd of its history. Estimates placed
the combined attendance at the stock
show and night horse show in excess
of 25,000 people.
So great was the crush that Inside
and out the crowds could scarcely be
handled. The industrial pavilion,
fronting the entrance to the main
arenay and the show pavilions were
lacked in a solid mass late in the
afternoon and in the early night.
The one highway approach leading
from the exposition a half mile or
more to the Intersection of the two
Interstate bridge approaches was
blocked both ways with a solid string
of automobiles at times, and the
street car system, handicapped by a
s'ngle track over the last two miles
from Albina avenue to the grounds,
was almost choked with the shifting
crowds.
Soldiers Block Road.
To add to the traffic troubles a
long column of Vancouver soldiers,
returning from the Armistice parade
and marching with full parade equip
ment, swung across the street-car
tracks at Albina avenue and Lombard
street, shutting off both street car
and auto traffic over the Derby
street route. The jam held with
scarcely a break while the tired sol
diers marched all the way from Al
bina avenue to the Interstate bridge,
and not until the tall of the long
column reached the bridge. was traffic
really opened.
Inside the pavilions the crowds
packed the stands around the great
arena for the matinee horse show,
and every-aisle throughout the ex
hibit pavilions was swarming fulL
To add to the jam the crowd's
tactics differed from that of other
days, for everyone seemed bent on
staying for the night horse show as

Thousands Fnable to Reach Arling
ton President and Others Al
most Miss Appointments.
WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. 11.
While thousands were paying their
tribute to the unknown American at
Arlington today, almost as many
more were fighting hopelessly to
make their way to the amphitheater,
through the worst trafflo jam the
national capital has seen in " many
years.
The tleup, which reached' its great
est density on Highway bridge, across
the Potomac, compelled cabinet
members and major-generals" to go
part of the way on; foot and almost
prevented President Harding from
reaching the amphitheater in time to
take part In the two minutes ot silent
tribute. Twice before it reached the
bridge the president's limousine had
to,mount the curb and circle through
the grass plots of Potomac park, and
the needle's eye of the bridge itself
was threaded only by the assistance
of a flying squadron of special police
men. Police officials blamed the army,
which had nominal charge of the
Armistice day programme, and the
army In turn blamed the police. As
a result of the argument not only
many of the general public, but some
high officials and foreign dignitaries
missed the amphitheater services
entirely and sat In their automobiles
for hours unable to proceed, or turn
back.
Stalled electrlo cars complicated the
jam at the -highway bridge and a
half dozen sightseeing busses and
army trucks helped to make the un
scrambling process more difficult
Railway officials estimated that from
t o'clock upwards of 10,000 tickets
had been sold for passage over tl.e
river, but it was nearly noon before
the cars began moving. .
The troubles of those who were try.
Ing to get everybody in his place on
time were multiplied by an army
lieutenant who had been given charge
of an important entrance to the am
phitheater. The White House secret
service men, who always go in ad
vance of the president, were unable
to get past the officer even after they
had shown their credentials and only
the intervention of Secretary Weeks
prevented some of the distinguished
guests from being turned away. A
quartet which was to help furnish
music was kept out by the lieutenant
until after the services were under
way.

City Pauses to Pay Tribute to

ARTILLERY ON MARCH
Disabled Veterans Form Guard of
Honor Day Not One All of
'Tears and Laughter.
Portland has not forgotten.
The spirit of Armistice day and all
that it means cast a vpell yesterday
over a city that observed the mo
mentous holiday with an inspiring
blend of unrestrained rejoicing, joy
ous revelry and tribute to those who
wore the nation's uniform In the days
when civilisation trembled.
But It was not all laughter and
tears. The city paused to pay im
pressive homage to the unknown
soldder, laid to rest in Arlington Na
tional cjemetery as the representative
of America's sons who . have never
returned except In spirit from the
far-away battlefields. Before a hun
dred altars, throughout the city, men
and women of every creed and belief
devoted some part of the day to
prayer.
ROOO Marchers In I.lae.
In the afternoon, the downtown
section echoed with the tramping
feet of a mighty legion of democracy,
marching 8000 strong In one of the
largest patriotic parades ever seen
here.
All public and practically all pri
vate business was laid aside for the
day to enable throngs of cltlsens to
pay tribute to veterans of the world
war and to participate In the appro
priate ceremonies of the occasion.
Memories of that wild ' day three
years ago when news was received
that the German behemoth of destruc
tion had been crushed Into surrender
were recalled at 11 o'clock yesterday
morning, when tumult reigned in
Portland.
Prom the gray mouths of four field
pieces of battery A, Oregon national
guard, came the thunder of a 21-gun
salute. In 'a few minutes shrieking
Birens and automobile orns. whis
t.es from factories, trains and boats,
clanging church bells and lusty shouts
of men, women and children were
mingled in a burst of noise.
City Hashed Hour Later.
An hour later the city was hushed
in reverent silence. At the stroke ot
noon the sweotly sad notes of "Taps."
b.'own by scores of buglers, filled the
air. All traffic stopped, and for two
full minutes every patriot timed
thoughts to Washington, the nation's
capital, where the unknown American
soldier, slain In Trance, was burled
