The day was at aside for It. All who could speak K tor groups In the land or for the pow- TW ta of the world were free to place Heir floral offerings at his bier. Hour lybour the heaping flowers about the cuket grew mountain high and spread ibout the vast chamber. Flowers that bloomed in France were there and flowers brought in all their beauty tan South Africa, 9000 miles away. There was not a minute of the day unclaimed by those who would do toaor to the doad.

A distinguished group of American and British officials received the for mer prime minister and his party at the stution. Secretary Hughes and Robert Woods Bliss, third assistant secretary of state; General Pershing, Brigadier General Brewster and rank ing officers of the army and navy com posed tho American group, while the British official welcoming group in cluded Sir Auckland Geddes, ambassa dor to the United States, Lord Lee of Fareham, a delegate to the confer ence, and military attaches from the embassy. Tho train bearing Sir J. W.

The two groups soon merged and were presented to Secretary Hughes by the British ambassador. Mr. Balfour was escorted by the American secretary of state from the station platform into the president's room. The two met as old friends and immediately dispensed with formal ities. As tho secretary of state and former premier appeared in the doorway fac ing the capitol where the body of America's unknown soldier lay in state the military band sounded "attention," following with "God Save the King," and "The Star Spangled Banner."

ADOPTS BOLD PLAN FORPARLEY American Suggestion to Be Presented at Arms Parley Will Be Daring One No Vague Generalities, But Blow Straight From. Shoul derDetails Kept Secret. Body of pnknown American Soldier Borne on French Artillery Caission WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. (By the Associated Press.) Proposals to be made by the American delegation to the conference on limitation of arm ament apparently constitute the only suggestion prepared In advance as to ways and means of curtailing naval expenditures without sacrifice by any power of national security. Great Britain Is not known to have worked out any formula; Japan is awaiting the American suggestion; France and Italy are more concerned with land forces than navies. Two days before the conference opens, this much is known: A definite formula for agreement on limitation of navtal forces' ;has been reached by Secretary Hughes and his colleagues of the American dele gation. The formula is an entirely practi cal one. It does not attempt to fix a common denominator by which all navies could' be divided and each power assigned by agrement, the number of units it could maintain with world approval. The American suggestion will deal with things as they are. It will be a plain proposition of ships built, build ing or authorized, of naval bases, of the vital element of naval replace ments, of the potential naval signifi cance of merchant marines and other concrete, existing or planned weap ons and auxiliaries of naval warfare. Also It Is regarded by those who framec) the suggestions as a bold stroke for naval reduction, possibly too bold for immediate acceptance. Washington is fillod with conjec ture as to what the American delega tion will propose. The explanation given by Admiral Baron Kato, head of the Japanese delegation of Japan's at titude in entering the conference and her willingness to cut down her na val program under agreement has add ed to the speculation. Baron Kato stated that Japan was willing to reduce her now famous eight battleship and eight battle cruiBer fleet program. To that se quence is to be added a third eight, as under Japanese standards of naval obsolescence a capital ship had a first line life of but eight yean. The American navy has no definite o'rji'ctlvc c program' of replacement for maintaining any fixed force on a fixed ratio i.f battleships and bat tle cruisers. The old British two-power standard prior to 1914 '.vent by l'.f-i board with the German fleet. Britain Ii not today building any cnpltul fhlps. Four new battle cruisers have been author ized, but they have not been laid down. , The exact status of Japan's new craft Is not known. The fleet ra tio', Baron Kato said, would not be achieved before 1928. The American program of 1916, de ferred during the war and greatly Blowed down this year by limited ap propriations. Ib In much the samo sta tus. It Includes six battleships and six battle cruisers.' Keels of 411 have been laid. Actual work on construc tion of one battleship, the Massachus etts, has been stationary at about four per cent for several months. Work on tho other flvo ranges from 19 to 2 7 per cent. On tho buttle cruisers, one Is placed at 1.1 per cent, one at 5.9 percent, one at G.3 per cent, one at 12.6 per cent, ono at 16.3 per cent, and the nearest completion at 20 per cent fin ished. It Is suggested In naval circles that a cessation of naval increases for a period of years, perhaps a decade, may be proposed. If that should prove acceptable. It Is said, it migh be followed by proKsala to cancel ships laid down on a slilp-for-shlp basis. It Is regarded as probable that Great Britain would accept some such proposal affecting her four authoriz ed battle cruisers. Each ship struck off the lint would mean a heavier pro- (Contlnticd on page six.) jfvl This photogrm,u shows a French artillery casson bearing tho flag draped casket of ) the "unknown" American soldier out of Chalons, headed towards jlavro whore tho body was placed on board tho cruiser Olympic. 8ho unknown hero arrived Jess Willard Hits Oil, Not So Keen To Hit J.

Up to the present It seems that Presi dent Harding's opening address will he followed by tho proposal from the Kiiglisb delegation lo appoint Secre tary Hughes as president of the con fcrence, which It is expected would be approved unanimously. Secretary Hughes will address a fow words of woleome to the foreign dele gates, but It has not yet beon decided whether there would be any replies. A proposal has been maclo that M. Iliiand, being the only premier present should speak In tho name of all, but It was thought that this Is not imsslblo. as each country has an attitudo toward the conference, not entirely identical to the others. Therefore either cvory president of each delegation will reply or nobody will speak. Immediately afterward a committee will bo formed of the delegation presi dents of tho five great powers which Is already called tho "big five" for the drafting of the agenda. Another com mittee composed of tho reprcscnta lives of tho delegations of the four smaller countries, Holland, Portugal, Belgium nnd China, will bo added for the agenda concerning Far .
