Washington, Nov. 10.-Simplicity will characterize the official observance to- morrow of the anniversary of Armistice day-the day which President Harding in a message to the American people tonight declared marked the victorious culmin- alion of our nations most impressive par ticipation in the affairs of the world"
 Simple in contrast with the ceremonies of a year ago in which the representa- tives of the rulers and -potentates of the worlds most powerful nations joined. doing honor to Americas dead as typi- lied in the unknown soldier. little group will leave the White House early tomor- row to lay a wreath symboliZing the na- tion's Armistice day tribute on the tomb of that Unknown Hero in Arlington Ma tional cemetery. It will include the pres ident and the secretaries of war and navy and the pilgrimage these three will make is expected to establish a precedent to be followed through the years.
 Also simple but more informal will be another event that will mark the day the visit of a group of friends and ad- nnirers to the home in s street of Wood row Wilson the nations war president. This will be in accord with a custom established last year when several thous- and after paying tribute to the Unknown Soldier, went to the Wilson home and
 
 the former president. Last year they received a simple little greeting and they hope for the same tomorrow
 Observance of the day elsewhere through the nation will be varied but in the eSs.aion of the president as voiced in his ge should make for appraisal l of the nations relationship to world af- fairs.
 'The increasing enthusiasm with which our people join in the annual observance ot Armistice day." the president said, "enforces the conclusion that it is des- tined to be one of the notable anniversa- ries in our calendar and, indeed, it well deserves to be all of that, for it marks the victorious continuation of our nations most impressive participation in the af- fairs of the world. We shall not so awiss if we seek to make our observance of this anniversary not only this year, but avery year hereafter, an occasion for appraisal of our relationship to and par Hcipation in those wider concerns which involve the welfare of all mankind.
 "I think we have come to realize, as a nation. that we cannot hope to avoid obligations and responsibilities, often arduoNs and burdensome as part of the price we must pay for our fortunate rela- tionship to the confraternity of. the na- tiOn.
 That we may be guided to a just judgment of the time and occasion for further proof of our interest in the com mon cause of humanity, and in choosing tbe methods whereby to discharge the ob. ligation thus created. will be, I am sure a fitting prayer for this Armistice ami versary."
