The Invitation Accepted.

Prompt acceptance followed tne IN
vitation to the United States to renew
its representation at the allied confer
ence, the council of ambassadors and
Rhe reparations commission. In the
spirit of it's tender the United States
sends q cordial, affirmative reply to
the inquiry of Premier Lloyd George
president Of the allied conference, and
in accordance the ambassador to
Great Britain will on his arrival be
expected to take his place as the
Presidents representative in the de-
liberations Of the supreme council,
the ambassador to France will resume
his place as unofficial observer on the
conference Of ambassadors, and Mr..
Boyden will be instructed to sit again
In an unofficial capacity on the repa-
rations commission. 1t is to be noted
that while the representatives and the
conference Of ambassadors and the
reparations commission will act as
unofficial observers" no such qualifi-
cation is put upon the representation
Of the United States in the supreme
council.
Coming Immediately after the re-
fusal of the United States to act as
mediator in the matter OF reparations
tender, this renewal Of relations with
the allied powers is an emphatic no
tice to Germany that no aid or SYM
pathy in her present situation can be
expected in this quarter. This action
ID an announcement that the United
States considers that it is still part of
the peacemaking procedure, that it
Is still one Of the "allied and asso-
ciated powers" that fought the war to
victory, that it has still a concern in
the adjustment.
The status of an unofficial observer"
IL not hard to define. The ambassador
at Paris and the representative on the
reservations commission will act first
for the purpose of keeping this gov
ernment informed, and second for the
purpose Of giving advice. The advice
on important questions will, Of course,
originate in Washington. Thus these
odicials will be means Of communica-
ton. They will be in a position to
keep the State Department fully in
formed. The advice may and prob
ably will follow their recommenda-
tions. OF course. this obtains also to
the ambassador at London sitting as
member Of the supreme council, as
representative of the President. Pre-
sumably he will have vote which
may not be formally granted to the
other American representatives.
It is to be marked that the accept
ance of the invitation is coupled with
no specific qualifications. Expression
ID given to the traditional policy Of
abstention from participation in mat
tsrs of distinctly European concern"
The fact stands that the United States
was a belligerent in the war and that
its troops are now in Germany, and
that it has a very material stake in
the restoration of peace. Acceptance
Of the invitation was the wise. the
inevitable course consistent with ma
tional honor.

With Our Unknown Soldier.

Little attention has as yet been
given to the announcement that Mar
shall Foch is intending to come to
the United States with the body of
our unknown soldier, but the occa-
sion is likely to prove the most NOV
ing and dramatic of this period fol-
lowing the war. Gen. Pershing will
be on the ship: as commander of our
forces in France he is a natural
guardian Of this symbol Of the ma
TONS dead. But above him in su-
pfeme command was the soldier who
must stand in history with the great
est Of all captains. and he is coming
too.
All the world has felt a peculiar
pfopriety in this new custom Of hon.
oring the citizen soldier. In war to-
day it is the. whole nation that
fights, the whole nation that suffers
and triumphs. No burial in West
minister Abbey Of philosopher or
statesman or king was ever more
majestic. more moving to mankind,
than that ceremony of Armistice day
last autumn. On the 11th of next
November in the Arlington cemetery
a new feature will be added. At the
grave of an unknown soldier Will

New York, Nov 1O.-Democratic

Mayor Hylan's plurality is the larg
est ever received by Democratic can
didate for any Office in this city and
IS comparable only with President
Harding's plurality of 43S,471 in the
presidential election last year. The
highest previous Democratic plurality
was that of former Governor Smith,
who carried the city over Governor
Miller by 319,929 in last years cleo
ton.
Approximately 90 per cent Of the
city's 1,263, $40 registered voters, which
included 447,015 women, went to the

The smashing Democratic triumph
gives the party all the votes on the

Ough presidents. The Democrats are
also assured of heavy majority in
