Dr. Sikes, former Wake Forest College professor and State Senator from Wake t'ounty was the principal speaker at the auditorium exercises in observance of Armistice Day. He reviewed, in a brief address, the cause of world eonflieti and with frequent applause, traced the pos sihihtlos of permanent peace through a pact between the I nited States and tlreat Britain which would relieve all danger of aggression from tie Japanese quarter.

BY JOSEPH P. TUMULTY (FOURTEENTH INSTALLMENT) CHAPTER XXII. RENOMINATED As the days of the 191 conTention at St. Louis approached, it was a foregone conclusion that there would be no serious contender against the President for the nomination and that he would win the prire by a practically unanimous vote. While at times the frirnda of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Clark were hopeful that the President might withdraw from the contest, after the Democrats at the convention were assured that the President was ready to accept a re nomination, the field was made clear for the letting of the convention stage to accomplish that end. It was thought that the St. Louis convention would be a trite affair; that there would be no enthusiasm in it. This anticipation arose from the idea expressed by many of the devoted friendr of the Detuomtie Party, that the cause of the Demo cracy in 1916 was little less than hopeless. Much of this feeling came from the inordinately high estimate which many placed upon Justice Hughes both as a candidate nnd as a campaigner. Indeed, many Demo crats who had canvassed the nation al situation felt that without a con tinuation of the split in the ranks of the Republican Party, the road to Democratic success was indeed a liafrl filtd difltcDlT To travel. 1 There, is no doubt that in the opin ion of tha country Mr. Justice Hughes was the strongest man the Kepublicaus could put forward. Tho fact that he was resigning from too Supreme Court bench and that he had a remarkably progressive record as Governor of New York, added a glamour and prestige to thia nomi natioa. I, aayself, never lent confi dence, however, in our ability to win. The Congressional elections of 1914, when the Democratic majority in the House was reduced to thirty-fire, had greatly dispirited Democratic friends throughout the eountry and made them feel that the nomination at Kt. Louis woold bb a purely for mal matter and without fruitful re sults. Looking to the West, 191 In a letter addressed to Colonel Harvey in 1914, I bad expressed the opinion that the reduced Democratic majority in the Congressional elec tions of 1914, which was being con strued as an apparent defeat of the arty, was not a final judgment upon the work of the President and the achievements of his Administration; that it was not a reversal irretnev able in character: that it should not lenress the Democratic workers throughout the eountry. and that the lield of conquest for the Democratic Party in 191H was the West and Pacific Coast. A eaim analysis of the election results in 1914 convinced me that if the Presidential electiou of 1916 was to be won, our efforts for victory had to be concentrated uv,n cultivation of sentiment thrnuih out the West in favor of the Demo ratio cause. My letter to Colonel Harvey is aa fottowrs : The White House Washington, Nov. 7, 1914. Dear Colonel Harvey: Now that the clouds have cleared away, let me send you just a line or two expressing an opinion of last Tuesday's elec tion. ,( It is my feeling that we are rm'.kiiig unmistakable gains in seetioiis of the country where Democratic hi pes never ran high before this time. Note the re sults in the states of Utah, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, 8iitli Dakota, North Dakota Washington and California. It now appears from the returns, regardless of what the Las'srn p:ipcrs nisy sny, that our ma jority in the House will be ap proximately from thirty five to forty; that our majority in the Senate will be tiitocn. We have elected for the first tiu.e in the history of the Dem ocratic Pary, so far as 1 can re cj.U, Democratic Senators in the great Republican States of Cali fornia, Wisconsin and South Dakota. The gains we have made in tho West, along the Pacific Coast, are mighty interesting and show a new field of conquest for the Democratic Party in 1016. To elect a Congress, re taining a majority of the party in power, after a revis.on of the tariff, is unprecedented. Once before it happened, in 1897, aft er the pasa-e of the Dingley Tariff act when the Republican majority was reduced from 47 to 10. We are not ia the least bit disturbed by the situation. We have for the first time elected Democratic Congressmen, from the States of Utah, Washington, South Dakota and North Dakota. With best wishes, I am, Cordially and sincerely yours, J. P.

S1MOND. Washington, Nov. 11. A the rery outset of the Washington conference the Japanese have thrown down I challenge to Mr, Hughes which, how erer, characterized by the spirit of concession, nevertheless carries with it consequences which eannot be mistake. In substance and through the re cent interview of Baron Eato, the Japanese have undertaken to counter Mr. HngTies manifest effort to dis pose of the Par Eastern question be fore dealing- finally wlH -the fnb- lem of the limitation of armaments In substance, Baron Kato has proposed reductions in the Japanese naval program which exceed any real expectations here. Unmistakably, hw purpose is to appeal to the very wide popular conception in this eountry that the conference is designed to reduce armaments aud tons to pre' ent war. But in rralitv no one. can mistake the fact that what the Japanese are aftT'r is to postpone, if not prerestt discussion of the Far Lastern qnes tion until public, interest begins to wane snd popular concern to dlmln ish. The Japanese have offered Mr. lHrding and Mr. Hughes a very sul) statitial program of su ress for their conference. On tlie basis of wnat Baron Kato sugCM an- agreement might be reached between Oreat Britain, Japan aad the Umted States which would enable the American and other statesmen to go back to their representative countries povat ing to considerable achievement in fields rhere achievement was popu larly looked for. Clever Msnearer The mannever is clever. It is well timed. It is unmistskably well cal culated to catch public interest aud enlist popular approval. It was ex peetcd that Japan would open the conference with counter offensive, since it was obviously fatal to her position to adopt an altitude of pas sive defense. But it was expected that this offensive would be directed at American naval programs and American military construction in the Pacific. There was a belief that the Japanese would attack our pro- osals to fortify (luain and bring in to question our naval plans of re cent years. The present Japanese operstion Is far more skilful. On the surface it is the disclosure of a spirit of mo. I oration and of concession which must seem at once attractive and lisarming. But it strikes right at the root of precisely that purpose which has become the dominant fac tor in the minds of American states pinnship. ramoly. the solution of the Far Eastern problem. It is one of the most daring and skillful diplo matic thrusts in the history of re cent international relations. Reaction in Japan Vor is it alone the American re action to this gesture which must be considered. The Japanese public will read that Baron Kato in his statement has propo'cd a program for the limitation of naval construe tion whi'h goes beyond the limit of expectation in our own country. He will bo very severely criticised m many quarters for such a proposal. But if in addition to this proposal the representatives of tho United Stntoa in the Washington confer ence insist orr further concession, persist in raising the Chinese snd Siberian questions, nothing is more likely than that the reastion at home may consolidate all elements within the Japanese empire. In a word, the first JapiY.ese move in this great game of chess which is the Washington conference, at one time envisages undermining the diplomatie adversary abroad and fortifyirg the Japanese position St home. V Analogy With Paris For those to whom parallel is im t.or'.aut, the analogy Ix-tweeu the sit nation Mr. Wilson found himself in the opeuing days of the Paris con ferenee and that in whlcn the Jat aneee hare put Mr. Hughes is strik ing. In Pans every kind of pressure wns put. upon Mr. Ivilson to post pone discussion of the League of Nations proposal until tha terms o peace were written. Now, the Jap anese design is manifestaty to pro vail upon Mr. Hughes to postpone the far eastern discussion until the question of limitation of armaments is disposed of. Mr. Wilson resisted tho European maneuver, whleji, to h sure, found Americas support. Mr. H ii ghee sow at the outset of the conference is called upon to defend his program in a similar fashion. The Japanese have "carried the war inio Africa. It now remains to bo seen whether Mr. Hughes can restore the Asiatic front.

By EDWARD E. BRITTON. (By Special Leased Wire.) Washington, Nov, 11, Washington is a blare of brilliancy tonight, end ing a day heaped with a nations honors upon the grave of an un known Anerican soldier. Out in Arlington the starlight touches with kindly rays the flower-covered place of lasting rest upon which the high est decorations which nations can give have been tenderly laid. The soldier dead on the soil of a foreign land to which his country had sent him as a crusader in the cause of civilization and humanity, sleeps his last sleep in his native land. Naught to him were the highest honors from the highest ofticial of his country and the lowliest who paused to do reverence on this day of a nation's tribute to all the host of American dead whom he repre sented, but yet the day was one tint ea rrid its heart -aiiiasago to hoint.v in which there are vacant chairs, to homes where enshrined in sorrowing hearts there is the memory of those whose lives havo been given aa only patriots can give. Reverence Most Profound. In other columns of this paper there will be told of America's most memorable day. Here it need only be said that never in this city of Washington has there ever been such an outpouring of tenderness as that witnessed in the events of this day. Reverence most profound marked the passage of the mourning draped caisson on which reposed the casket containing all that is mortal of him who typified ail sons of America whose lives passed out in the world war. In the place of the bivouac of the nation's heroic dead ceremonies most solemn mnrked the final aosaos of an event ia .which this eountry paid ss best it could, its tribute of memory of heroic deeds, the sepulchre in America's tonne to its gallant sons whose HvesH given in ita name become a boa eon to us "lis' we forget." In silence h. t lie funeral cortege passed along I'einisv.hania avenue until past miday in the procession there came the carriage in which rode tho Commander in Chief of that unknown soldier whose burial had brought the mighty of America and of other nations to pay tribute. Alien in the slow moving line there appeared former President Woodrow Wilson, accompanied by his wife, there came spontaneous cheers, chtp- ing of bands, waving of handker- hiefs, as greeting from hearts to a casualty" of the world war just as certain as if an enemy rille or an enemy bayonet had been used ou him. It was not the riotous shouts of aroused admiration, but the reverent upplause of a people who by this lneaui attempted to convey the mes- igo to the stricken man that he had lace close in the consciousness of America. And coincidence it was that in a stop of tome fifteen minutes in the procession left Wood row Wiiion seated in his carriage directly opposite the White House. As his carriage paused thero waiting for tho call to go forAaid, there was continued reverent applause ansr waving of handkerchiefs. Mr. Wil son acknowledging the tribute by doffing his hat. Pay Tribute to Wilson Later in tho day the Ceremonies at Arlington National cemetery over, thousand of admirers of tho former President gathered in a demonstra tion in front of his residence. There was continued cheering and songs, the cheering growing to a vast volume when .Mr. WiUou appeared. ana made appree.ative acknowledge meut. Itut ono appearance was nut enough for the great throng. Con tinued cheering brought Mrs. Wilson to the window of tho house, the in creating enthusiasm of the crowd of men snd women and children cans ing her to raise the sash, bow her thanks for the honor done her hus hand snd kiks her hand to his ail mircrs. And finally so great was the insistence from the parked street that Mr. Wilson appeared a' the raised window and again bowed and smiled his appreciation. The demon stration was one that said that the people have not forgotten, that told that Woodrow Wilson had a safe abiding place in their hearts. General Carr Shakes Hand. When Mr. Wilson appeared at a window upsairs and waved hia hand. instantly thousands -Cheered and cheered. Mr. Wilson then came down stairs snd stood with the front door opened, standing beside Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Wilton looked very well, considerably better in fact than might have been expected When Mr. Wilson made hit up pearanea standing in open door Dr Hamilton Holt standing on the run ning board of a machine made beautiful and appropriate short ad dress to which Mr. Wilson responded accepting his appreciation as the immense crowd cheeied and cheered. The one man who was permitted 'o pass the lines and shake bands with Mr. Wilson was General Julian 8. Carr, of North Carolina, wearing a Confederate uniform.

WELLS (By Arrangement With the Chicago Tribune snd New York World) Britain, France, Italy, snd now the people of the United States, have honored and buried the bodies of certain unknown soldiers, each sc cording to their National traditions and circumstances. Canada, I hear, is to fo'low suit. 6o the world ei presses its sense that in the Crest War the only hero was the common man. Poor Hans snd poor Ivan Ue rotting yet under the soil of s Hundred battlefields, bones snd decay, rags of soiled uniform and 1 frnginents of accoutrements, still wauting for nionutucuts and speech es. et they, too, were mothers' sons, kept step, obeyed orders, went singing into battle snd knew the strange intosieation of soldierly fellowship and the sense of devotion to' something much greater than themselves. In Arlington cemetery, soldiers of the Confederate South lie honored equally with, the Federal dead, the right or wrong of their cause al together forgotten aud only their sacrifice remembered. A time will xome . hj!jLve. aiuili cease to jrJsk the crimes anil blunders and mis fortunes of their governments upon the common soldiers and poor folk of tiermany and Kiissis, when our bitterness wi 1 die out and we shall mourn them as we mourn our own, as souls who gave thoir lives and suffered greatly in ono universal misfortune. A time will come when these vast personifications of con flict, the unknown British soldier, the Unknown American rsoldier. tho unknown Freneh soldier, and so forth, will merge into tho thought of a still greater personality, the embodiment of twenty million sep arate bodies and ot many million broken livos, the Unknown Soldier of the Croat War. He Was of Common Herd. It would he possiblo, I suppose, to work out many things concerning him. We could probably find out bis age and his height, snd weight, and suchlike particulars very nesrly We could average figures and es timatos thai would fix such nintters within a very narrow fnhgo of uncertainty. Iu race and complex ion, I suppose be would be mainly north European; north Russian, (ier man, prankish, north Italian, Brit ish and American elements would all have the same trend towards a tallish, fairish, possibly blue eyed type; but, also, there would be a strong Mediterranean streck in him, Indian and Turkish elements, a frac tion of Mongolian and an infusion of African blood -brought in not nn'y through tho American colored troops but by the free use by the French of their Senegalese None of these factors would be strong enough to prevent his being mainly northern and much the saine mixture altogether ns the American citw.on of i:-jil is likely to be. lie would be a white man wilh a touch of Asn and a toil' h of color. And he would bo young; I should guess about twenty one or twenty two, still boy ish, probably unmarried rather than married, with a father ami mother ulive nnd with the memories and imaginations of the home lie vss born in s'.il! treh aud vivid in his mind wht u ho died. We could oon, I suppose, figure in general terms how he died. He v, us struck in daylight amidst the xtrntige noises nnd confusion of modern battlefield by something out of the ui known, bullet, shell frag moot, or the like. At the moment, he had been just a little scared, ev eryone is a litilc scored on a bat t.eliold, but in well more excited than Beared and trying hard to rcmcm bel li is training nnd do his job prop erlv. When he was hi' lie was not si ri:U''h hart at first as astonished. 1 should goes that Alio first sensa tion of a innn hard hit on a bat tlefield is not so much pain as an im- lnenset chagrin. War a Beastly Business, I suppose it would be possible to go on and work out how long it a' 1 efore he died after he was Int. now long he suffered and wondered, ho long he by be lore his ghost fell in with that immense still muster l?n the shades, those millions of his kind lin had no longer country to serve nor years of life before them, who had benu cut off as he had been cut off suddenly from sights snd sounds, and hopes and passions. But rather let us think of the motives nnd feelings that had brought him in to cnllant and cheerful a fiinne of i.iind to this complete .sacrifice What J il the Unknown Soldier of thn lireat War think he was doing when he died? Whnt did we, we poo nln who got him i'llo the great war nnd who are still in possession if this world of his, what, .did we per made him to think he was doing and what is the obligation we have in curred to him to atone for his deat for the life and sunlight he will knw no moret He was still too young a man to have his motives very clear. To con eeive what moved him and what he desired it a difficult and disputable task. M. (ieorges Nobelmnlre at recent meeting of the IiCagne of Na (ions Assembly declared that he had heard French lads whisper "Vive la Fiance I'1 and die. He suggested that florman boys may have died saying "Colonel, sny to my mother Vive I' Allenwnel Possibly. But the FrencU are trained harder In patriot im than any other people. I doubt if it wns the common mood. It was certainly not the common mood among the British. I cannot imagine many F.nglish hoys using their tost breath to say ''Rule Britannia!" or "Kiug (ieorge for Merry F.nglandl" Some of our young men swore out of vexation snd fretted; some, snd it was not slways the youngest, be came childish again and cried touch ir.gly for their mothers; many main tamed the ironical flippancy of our people to the end; many died in the vein of a young miner from Durham with whom I talked on? morning in the trenches near Mar tinpuieh, trendies which had been badly 'strafed' overnight. War, he said, was a beastly job, '"but we'sc got to clean this up.-' That is the spirit of the lifeboat man, or firs man. That is the great spirit. I be lieve that was far nearer to the true mind of the unknown soldier than any tin pot Viva ing of any flag, nation or empire whatever. He Fought Against Oppression 1 believe that when we generalize tho motives that took the youths who died in the great war out of the. Tight of Tife, and took them out at precisely the age when life is most desirable, we shall find that the dominating purpose was certainly no narrow devotion to the glory or "expansion' of any particular country, but a wide spirited hosti ity to wrong and oppression. That is clearly shown by the nature of the appeals that were made in every eountry to sustain the spirit of its soldiers. If national glory and pa triot'iMii bad been the ruling motive of these young men, then manifestly their propagandas would havo eon oerned themselves mainly with ns tiniial honor and flag idolatry. But they diil nut do so. Nowadays, flags fly better on parades and stooj fronts than ou battlefields. The war propagandas dwelt steadily anil insistently upon the wickedness aud unrighteousness of ths enemy, upon the dangers of being overwhelmed by -foreign tyranny and particularly upon the fact that the enemy planned .anil made the war. .These boyt fought best on that every where. Bo f r as the common men in .every belligerent country went, therefore, the 1 1 re.it. War was a war against wrong, against force, against war it self. Whatever it was iu tho thoughts of dip'on al is's, it was that in nnr.ds i'f tho boys who died. In the minds of these young aud generous mil lions, -whu are personified in tb Un knoiMi Soldier of the Croat War, in tlie minds of tho (iermans and KussiaiiS who foup1 1 so stoutly, quite ns much as the Americans, British, Kiench or Italians, the war was a war to end war. and that marks our obligation. He Sought Justice and Law. Ms cry 'Speech thst is mada beside the graves of those Unknown Sol diers who lie now in the comrade s'np of youthful death, every speech wl.i.h exalts patriotism above peace, which hints st reparations and rs enges, which cries for iiinen al liaiiccH to sustain the traditions of tho conflict, which eialta National security over tho common welfare Much wags the ''glorious flag'' of tliis nati hi or that in the face of the iinnersal courage and tragedy of mankind, is an insult and an out rage upon the dead youth who lies below.
