TRAFFIC JAMS THE
 POTOMAC BRIDGES
American and European NotabIes Have Difficulty In
 Getting to Amphitheatre
By Associated Press

Washington, November 11.-while thousands. were paying their tribute to the Unknown Soldier at Arlington today almost as many more were fighting hopelessly to make their way to the amphitheatre through the worst traffic jam the national capi- tai has seen in many years.
 The tie-up. which reached it's greatest density on Highway Bridge, across the Potomac, compelled cab met members and major generals to go part of the way on foot, and al- most prevented President Harding from reaching the amphitheatre Tn time to take part m the two minutes of silent tribute. twice before it reached the bridge the Presidents limousine had to mount the curb and circle through the grass plots of Po- tcmac park and the needles eye of the bridge itself was threaded only with the assistance of flying squad ron of special policemen.
 Police officiars blamed the army. which had nominal charge of the Armistice Day programme. and the army In turn blamed the police. As result of the argument, not only many of the general public, but some high officials and foreign dignataries missed the amphitheatre services en- tirely. and sat in their automobiles for hours unable to proceed or turn back. fnf
 With many others. Secretary hughes deserted his automobile on the bridge, made his way forward on foot through the neck of the bottle. and was picked up on the Virginia side by a more, fortunate motorist. Meanwhile tie-up of almost equal proportions was on at Aqueduct bridge, the only other means of travel between Washington and Arr lington Boathouses and canoe club at the Aqueduct crossing were beseiged by those who had despaired of getting through the bridge and were battling for an opportunity to beg or buy a way over the water.
 Stalled electric cars complicated the jam at the Highway bridge, and half dozen sightseeing busses and army trucks helped to make the un- scrambling process more difficult. Railway officials estimated that from Q o'clock upwards of 10000 tickets had been sold for passage over the river. but it was nearly noon spefore the cars began moving

 for Unknown Dead
By Associated Press

Washington, November 11.-Upon returning from Arlington today Mar shal Foch said:
 "A noble expression of a peoples respect for those who fell in France for great causei was deeply moved by the tender devotion so worthily shown today and I feel the greatness of the privilege of bring ing the homage of the French army and my own homage to the national obsequies of this unknown soldier of the American public"
 General Diaz of Italy said:
 T participated almost with com junction in the burial of the un- known American hero--a ceremony which in it's austere simplicity had a sense of mystic idealism uniting in a fervent recollection of the recent past all the hearts of those present. The inspiring and lofty address of Presi- dent Harding touched all hearts, ele- vating them with feeling of faith to- ward the glorious men who fell and the radiant future of the great Amer ican nation. As President Harding said, the hero honored today is un- known personally but is known in the greatness of his glory This was deeply felt by all those present as each had a grief to recall. glory to evoke.
 The homage and the tribute paid by all the nations which gave to the war the flower of their best blood IS the symbol of a moral and civic solidarity which rises above human passions which disappears before such greatness.
 The inspiring ceremonies under the shlnlng sun before thousands and thousands of reverent mourners amidst the laundering of artillery and mystic songs which accompanied It,, could be felt but cannot be de- scribed. received the most pro- found impression which I hope will i've In the public at large, not only Tn America. but also abroad trans form itself into wish for that .paci- tication of spirits without which any other pacfffcation Is vain."
