WOODROW WILSON
ARMISTICE DAY
■ -
WOODROW WILSON
(By Associaf -M PrP3s.)
Washington,- Nov. 11,—Woodrow
Wilson, i n his first public address
since he was take n ill three years ago,
declared today that America had al
ways stood for justice and that
“Puny” persons now standihg in the
way will presently find their weak
ness no match for moving Providence.
Addressing a large throng of ad
mirers who paid him an Armistice
Day call, the former president said
the “group in the senate which had
prevented ratification of the treaty
of Versaille s did not represent th e
United States, “because the United
States is moving forward and they
are slipping backward and where
their end will be God only will de
termine.”
Henry Morgentbau, former am
bassador to Turkey delivered a brief
address. This was preceded by the
singing of southern melodie s by ' a
chorus of thirty, and the presentation
of flowers to the former president
from his native state by little Miss
Hele n Sue Trinkle, daughter of the
governor of Virginia, from his adopt
ed state by Miss Edwards, daughter
of the governor of New Jersey, and
from the District of Columbia by Miss
Olive Chase.'
That Woodrow Wilso n is not only a
g>-eat leader of the 'Democrats’, but in
Americanism with all the word im
pl es, was demonstrated by the mon
ster reception accorded him’ today
when he made his appearance. There
were people o,f every political faith
who gathered at hi s home on S street
to pay America’s war president the
’honor due him and pay that homage
that only such a statesman could
justly receive.
ZELMENOVITZ JOB
BORE EARMARKS
OF PROFESSIONALS
Developments have been coming
thick and fast ’n the Zelmenovitz
burglary perpetuated Thursday morn
ing about 1 o’clock. It has been def
intely determined that the thieves
were some of the tourists who came
through Bninswick. The job had all
of the earmarks of a Professional’s
work and the police are. now working
on this theory- They have definite
ly determined that the job is too
slick for any local “artist” to per
form.
The fact that a number of ear s left
the tourists camp about the time the
robbery was committed convinces
them of the correctness of their
theo’y. They lave communicated,
with th . police n>pa’ trr.ent s of the
citie s likely to be visited by these
oars ~and are , expected every
minute, and the arrest of the guilty
parties is looked for in the next few
days. |

Cemetery.
WEALTH OF FLOWERS
BLOSSOMED ON MOUND
Utter Simplicity in Order in
Honoring Unknown in Great
Contrast of This Event of Just
One Year A£o.
Washington, Nov. 11.—On the
main granite block in Arlington
cemetery that a year ago became a
new shrine to American ideals, there
blossomed today a wealth of flow
ers laid reverently there to com
memorate the first anniversary 'of
the home-coming of American’s
unknown soldier from France. Again
the nation sealed the covenant of
American fa'th it the n pledged be
side the grave now covered* by the
massive boulder.
And the utter simplicity of the
scenes today, contrasted against mem
ories of Pomp and splendor of a
year ago i n the same beauty of set
ting, served to add n e w glory to that
which is idealized in the blood of this
humble soldier shed in France, the
high purposes that i s Americanism.
Again President Harding made the
pilgrimage from Washington in be
half of all his countrymen. But this
time the message he bore wa s no
spoken word, but a simple wreath to
rest on the great stone. The guns
that roared the national salute in
honor to the dead alone broke the
stillness to voice a nation’s pride.
For the army, Secretary Weeks ac
companied the president, and- for the
navy, Secretary I)enby.
None but the routine restrictions of
the quiet cemetery wer e in force to
day. As on every day in the year, the
public was free to come and go
among the tlead, resting there and
about the memorial amphi-theater, o n
the terrace in front of which stands
the tomb of the unknown. Any who
cared to make the journey of remem
brance could share with the President
or with the war mothers or with any
others honors pa : d to the dead.
But America’s share in Armistice
Day events was not confined to those
at home. The dead in France were
not -forgotten, nor was there lack of
American fellowship at the great
ceremonial in Brussels, where, the
Belgian unknown, perhaps among the
first to fall i n the great war, was
entombed amid scenes such as those
that witnessed the honor Great Brit
ain and France and Italy and Amer
ica did their hero dead.
As formally expressing the com
radeship of th e American govern
ment in tribute to the 'Belgian un
known, President Harding has ap
proved the following citation which
will be bestowed with congressional
medal of honor, the highest American
recognition of valor, by Maj. Gen.
Henry T. Allen, commanding Ameri
can forces in Germany and especially
ordered to Brussels ,for the purpose.
At the eight American cemeteries
i n France, Belgium and England
there remai n the bodies of 30,363
soldiers, sailors and marines who gave
their lives during the war. At each
of these, from the Meuse-Argonne,
Aisne-Mame, Suvesnes, St. Mihiel,
the Somme, Oise-Aisne in France, in
Flandei’ s Field in Belgium and at
Brookwood in England, appropriate
services were held throughout the
day with American diplomatic or
military and naval officials paying
tribute.
At home in the national cemeteries
in Now York and San Francisco and
at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., where
many war dead from France are
buried, there also were public expres
sions during the day, but to the 39,-
672 brought home for burial i n pri
vate cemeteries the nation’s grati
tude was expressed by President Har
ding at Arlington.

RATED FROM HUNTERS
| Yesterday afternoon E. L. Vickery,

j for a squirel hunt in the Altamaha
' swamp and soon after eac-hing it the
trio of hunters for the mouse-like
game separated. The latter two fin
ished hunting and returned to the
starting point, but after waiting
many hours for Mr. Vickery and he
not making an appearance some
alarm was felt and evey effort made
to locate the missing hunter.
At 2 o’clock this morning one of
the party returned to the city and.
reported that no trace of Mr. Vickery
had been found, but that several par
ties would be made up early today
and make a thorough search. It is
known that the Altamaha is a tricky
place and unless a person who en
ters it takes a good account of his
bearings he is certainly liable to get
lost.
is the opinion of those who
know 1 the swamp that Mr. Vickery be
came confused and that when daylight
comes he will be found by searchers
and near the public road.
