FRANCE WIDELY
CELEBRATES ON
ARMISTLCE DAY

PARIS, Nov. II P)-Armistice day
was celebrated in Paris and through
out France and the main centers of
her far-flung colonies and protect
crates with all the military pomp
the French know how to display in
honor of the Nations dead and to
commemorate the great events of her
history.
Tr.omphe at II o'clock this morning
began with one minute silence.
President Doumergue, Premier Poin-
care, the members of his cabinet,
the marshals of France, the Ameri-
can ambassador and representatives of
the allied and associated powers re-
viewed the great military parade
after floral tributes had been laid
on the tomb of the unknown soldier.
A striking feature of the day was
the way in which Marshal Foch, gem
eralissimo c: the allied forces anG
the man VINO ldlu OOWu Clle IIllSllSC
erms, passed among the crowds
searching for his lost automob BILE
virtually unrecognized and unacclaLm-
ed. At some points, however, there
were cheers for the marshal. Buc
the lack of demonstration was IN
marked contrast to the ovation given
him in the great victory parade July
IA, 1919.
The patriotism of the crowds was
not in question, for they cheered the
marching troops Justify and below
ed stinging reminders to careless for
.eigners who had neglected to uu-
cover when the battle flags passed
American flags were notably an
sent from many building decorations
for the first time since the anniver-
sary was celebrated, but the color
guard of the Paris post of the Amer
lean legion was given a place or
honor beside the unknown's tomp.
Rear Admiral Guy H. Burage, COM
nlander Of the United States fleet in
European waters, placed a wreath on
the tomb early in the day. Myron
T. Hernck, the American ambassador,
delivered the annual Armistice ad
dress at the services in the Amerf-
can Procathedral.

PASSA|C SEES.
END Of GREAT.
TEXTILE STRIKE.

PASSAIC, N. j., Nov. IL
(AP) Armistice day
brought a measure Of peace
today to the New Jersey
textile strike area, riven for
nine months by conflict al
most unprecedented in the
industrial history Of the
United States. That meas
ure, however, affected only
600 of the 10000 workers
who have been jobless or
quit the industry since the
outbreak of the strike, and
only one of the nine affect
ed mills.
The agreement was reached by
William e. Gaunt, president of the
Passaic lWorsted Spinning company,
and international vice president of
the United Textile workers OF, Amer
lea, which organization recently SUI
Ierseded the United front committee,
after the mills refused to treat with
the latter union because of alleged
communistic proclivities, of its lead
crs.
The affected mills mad at one tir.c
organized and agree among them
selves not to settle the strike In.
dividually.
Todays action, therefore, was con-
sidered by many observers as an
ice-breaker" to eventual settlement
by all.
Todays settlement did not include
many of the demands made early In
the strike, among which were an In
crease in wages allowance of time
and a half for overtime, return OF
money lost through wage cuts last
year, and establishment of a 44-hour
week.
1t provided for Right to organize;
the right of collective bargaining;
an open shop; arbitration in the
event of grievances and strikers to
be re-employed without discrimina-
tion.

NEXT VACATION in
SOUTH DAKOTA HILLS

KANSAS CITY, Nov. II R-The
brook and rainbow trout in the Black
Hills of South Dakota may possibly
get a chance to nibble at presidential
bait during the vacation season next
year. The president expressed great
degree of interest in the invitation
which was extended him today by
John Bland of linton, S. D., repre-
senting the people in Black Hills
district.
The president said he would take
the invitation under advisement but
his manifested interest was such that
members of his party declared they
believed he seriously would consider
the west for his vacation trip next
year.
The Black Hills country, if it
should be chosen, members of the
presidential party pointed out, win
not be unfamiliar with presidents and
presidential ways. Theodore Roose-
welt spent much of his time hunting
there and one of the first mont
nents to his memory was erected by

ment for me to be here, for it is II

When I soc the wonderful monument

A regal figure in her red velvet

lights, Marie then turned to place
her wreath on the shaft from whose

swir1ed as permanent beacon Of
sorrow for the victims of the World
war.
Il bring you a greeting in the
name of the king from my country

in the crowded station, along the
short drive to the memorial, and
again as it moved through tho city
to a hotel where the queen, her son

Princess Ileana, dined with only i'm
mediate members of the party. The
enthusiasm of the city that had in
one day celebrated the anniversary

spirit that soothes and symbolizes
a spontaneous want for national and
international peace and tranquility
radiated from the capitals of the
world today as untold millions gath

their gratitude for another year re-
moved from the great conflict.

cenotaphs of the valorous, by con-
gregational peace moves, and even,
as if by coincidence, by efforts look
ing to settlement of long-standing

that sprang from the sanguine fields
of war eight years ago, today was
given renewed significance into far
and wide celebrations of Armistioe
day AS in other years, save for the
absence of the nations commander

speaking in Kansas City, the simple
tomb of Americas unknown dead

with their dominions and colonies
throughout the world joining in sa
luting the emblems OF peace, trekked
to their unknown soldier tombs in
reverence and thanksgiving.
other countries of the world too,
were celebrating, as President Cool
idge, in dedicating Missouris memo
rial to her soldier dead at Kansas
City, bespoke the universal need for
restoring the world "to a better un-
derstanding and amity," and Secre-
tary of War Davis declared at the
same moment that America stood in
no danger of militarism.
Indicative of his desire that full
honor be paid Americas unknown
dead, Coolidge had Captain Leven
cailen, one of his military aides,
place a wreath on the tomb at Ar
lington as the entire government ma
chinery halted for period of two
minutes, and the army and othor
federal posts throughout the nation
paid like silent homage to the heroic
dead.

James A, Drain, past commander of
the American Legion, and Senator

GROUP.
He EVER DREW

KANSAS CITY, Mo-,
Nov. II (AP)-From the
base Of the great monu-
ment erected in this city to
the memory Of the men and
women of the World war
and in the presence of a
huge throng from the en-
tire southwest, President
Coolidge served formal no
tice in an Armistice day
address today that the
United States would adhere
to the world court only on
the conditions laid down by
the senate.
The significance Of the utterance
from the president, who at all times
had urged membership in the court and
in the face of reports that the nations
represented in the court would never
accept the senate reservation to the
protocol of adherence, was not lost
upon the crowd, which stretched far
out of sight, but never out of hearing
of the address,
Applause, in which cheers mingled,
greeted the announcements and swung
into general ovation as the president
minute later concluded his speech

hours visit Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge
made to Kansas; City, Mo-, and its
neighbor, Kansas City, Kans., today
and was delivered before one of the
greatest crowds the president ever has
confronted. Made in dedicating the
$2,00O,000 Liberty Memorial, with it's
tall shaft emblematic of the Pillar Of
Cloud by day and the Pillar of Fire
by night, which in earlier days guided
a nation in critical times, it was heard
by vast audience which stretched for
over a quarter of a mile in all direc-
tions and was estimated by officials
to number at least 10000.
Loud speakers carried the word and
music to all, while the radio carried
them to unseen thousands more. The
exercises, which included also adj
dresses by Secretary Dwight Davis of
the war department and Howard p
Savage, national commander of the
American legion, were followed by
public invitation luncheon at the Hotel
President, attended by the President
and Mrs. Coolidge, and then by an au-
tomobile ride to Kansas City, Kans,
marking the first time the president
has been on the soil of Kansas. He
left for Washington by special train
at $3.50 this afternoon.
Clear, crisp weather greeted the
president, while a cutting wind swept
the mall on which the memorial faces.
but unmindful of all, Coolidge stood
bareheaded and without an overcoat
during the more than 40 minutes he
spoke.
The world court pronouncement of
the president was brief and made at
the conclusion of a discussion of prob
lens arising out of the war. This in
cluded reference to national antag
onisms against this country and a de-
nial of charges that the United States
had merely profited out of the war.
No mention was made of domestic
politics, for although the first formal
address Coolidge has made since the
elections, the event was arranged on a
non-political and bipartisan basis.
"A permanent court of international
justice has been established" the
president said in setting for his posi-
ion on the world court, "to which ma

adjudication of their differences. 1t

jamestown, N. D., May 29-LP)-
Headquarters here Of the North Da-
kota fair freight rate association
have received word that J. A. Little,
special commerce counsel for this as
sociation and the CONNIE rcial ciub,
of jamestown, Valley City, Bismarck,
Mandan and Minot. completed his
testimony yesterday at Washington
before the interstate commerce COM
mission ut the general rate hearing
on grain and livestock rates, which
have been ut issue over year. i,
Mr.. Little was designated as COM
merce counsel for the North Dakota
associations when the general argu-
ment on this case opened May II. In
his argument yesterday, MIR. Little
showed that North Dakota grain is
paying a greater revenue than any
other commodity moving in any vol
ume in the northwest, that the rev.
enue on grain traffic in North Da-
kota is considerably heavier than IN
any other state and that the rates
we're materially higher in North Da
kOta than in Canada so that, instead
of being too low as claimed by the
railroads, they are much too high.
The increases. which would have
cost North Dakota farmers $2,OOO,OO(
this year. have been suspended since
a hearing at Fargo last year and the
interstate commerce commission il
to decide the issue on the present
hearing.
