Chapel Hill, Nov. 11.—“(TP)—
Yakichiro Suma, cousclor of the
Japanese embassy in Washington,
said in an address last night that
Japan’s present program in China
“is a determined effort to quaran
tine’ war in the east.*
He said “misgovemment in
China is fo be corrected. Our ends
arc peace and order, not territory
or concessions.” His appearance
here was sponsored by the Car
olina Political Union, a student
non-partisan orgahization which
has asked the Chinese legation to
send a speaker to present Chi
nese case at a later date.
Mr. Suma spoke before a large
audience of faculty, Students and
townspeople in Memorial hall. A
native Japanese and active in his
country’s diplomatic service for
the last 18 years, he was intro
duced by Dr. D. H. Buchanan
member of the University Eco

The Japanese diplomat declared
that most of the recent anti-for

financed and encouraged by the
Nanking government and has not
been a spontaneous outburst by
the people themselves.

Th2 City of Asheboro honored
its world war dead in its annual ob
servance of Armistice Day today.
Members of Dixon Post, Ameri
can Legion, and its Auxiliary con
tinued their military observance
during the day by attending a
church service in Pugh’s chapel at
noon, get-together meetings dur
ing the evening and, the annual
ex-service men’t dinner in the Bap
tist church tonight.
The day’s program opened at
9 o’clock this morning in both city
schools. Students of the elemen
tary grades in the Fayetteville
street school met at Chapel ser
vice and listened to an address by
A. I. Ferree a member of the local
Legion post.
State Senator Henry Ingram, a
World War veteran, addressed the
High students at 10 o’clock and
Mi's. George Burkhead, one of the
Auxiliary leaders, spoke to the
students in the Park street school.
At the conclusion of Senator
Ingrain’s address, the students as
sembled on the parade ground in
rear of the Fayetteville school and,
led by the high school band, parad
ed through the streets of the city.
The parade was headed by Wal
ter Craven, grand marshall, his
aides and members of the police
department.
Detachments of the American
Legion, The Legion Auxiliary, Sons
of the Legion and Boy and Girl
scouts also participated. The Fay
etteville street school group met
the student body from the Park
street school out Sunset avenue
and from there the combined units
marched tnrough the main sections
of the city.
Randolph’s War Mothers, aged in
years, but still young in thought
were given an honor position in the
parade — in gaily decked automo
biles, these women who gave their
sons in the World War—brought
up in rear of the school children
division.
There they rode, with mothers’
watchful eyes over the little boys
ahd girls who proceeded them in
the marching.
Spectators hushed their cheers
as these cars appeared—thinking
perhaps of a few short years back
—when these same mothers watch
ed another parade—their sons
marching as these boys and girls
may some day march.
Hats were doffed, business still
ed at this moment for it seemed
fate that these cars, carrying these
Mothers., turned into the square at
Fayetteville street und Sunset
avenue at precisely IT o’clock.

* An interesting: bit of his
tory is interwoven into the
story of the flag which cen
tered the decorations for Ar
mistfce Day service at noon in
Pugh’s Chapel by the congre
gation of the Church of the
Good Shepherd.
This large American flag
was of ramantic and historic
interest from its very origin.
It was during the Spanish
American war that two young
ladies living in the handsome
old Dicks home in Randleman
bethought themselves of a
pleasant way to pass the sum
mer. With little entertainment
offered outside the home, it
was decided to make a flag.
This was no slapjack de
cision, nor act that was en
gaged in for they went about
their self-imposed task in a
business-like manner, getting
correct specifications, mater
ials that would not fade, star
patterns and the like. And so,
they sewed and sewed, for the
flag is a very large one and
made for a flag pole.
After tedious work, the flag
was at last ready for a for
mal flag-raising, held on the
Dicks lawn on the fourth of
July—the day after the Battle
of Cantiago.
Patriotism then was quite
the thing, and not only did the
flag serve as the center of at
traction for this event, but all
during the war as the fallen
heroes were sent home. Their
rude pipe coffins were draped
softly and tenderly in this flag
—symbolic of their service.
As long as the Dicks home
was maintained, the flag flew
on all patriotic occasions, then
when the home was broken up.
the flag came to Asheboro with
one of the owners—Mrs. Hal
Worth, whose generosity is
responsible for the use in the
chapel today. It was Miss
Claudia Dicks and Mrs. Worth
—then Miss Laura Stimson, a
niece of the Mr. and Mrs.
Dicks, who made this flag.
Since coming here, it has al
ways appeared on the Worth
poarch on patriotic occasions.
Not only that, but during the
world war when Cpmpany K—
Randolph’s own boys—were
feted, this flag was always the
background. This flag has en
twined in its folds so much ten
der history of the past, so

(From Night Report, Friday |
vember 11, 1921)
Washington, November 11.—(P>y
The Associated Tress.)—Under the
Wide and starry sides of his own
home-land America’s unknown dead
from France sleeps tonight, a sol
dier home from the wars.
Alone, he lies in the narrow cell
that guards his body; but his soul
has entered into the spirit that is
America.- Wherever liberty is held
close in men’s hearts, the honor and
the glory and the pledge of high
endeavor poured out over name
less one of fame, will be told and
sung by Americans for all time.
Scrolled across the marble area
of the memorial raised to American
soldier and sailor dead, everywhere,
which stands like a monument be
hind his tomb, runs this legend:
“We here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain.”
The words were spoken by the
martyred Lincoln over the dead at.
Gettysburg. And today with voice
strong with determination and rin
ging with deep emotion, another
President echoed that high resolve
over the coffin of the soldier who
died for the flag in France.
Great men in the world’s affairs
heard that high purpose reiterated
by the man who stands at the head
of the American people. Tomor
row they will gather in the city
that stands almost in the shadow of
the new American shrine of liberty
dedicated today. They will talk of
peace; of the curbing of the havoc
of war. x
They will speak of the war in
France, that robbed this soldier of
life and name and brought death
to comrades of all nations by the
hundreds of thousands. And in
their ears when they meet must
ring President Harding’s declara
tion today beside that flag-wrapped
honor-laden bier:
“There must be, there shall lie,
the commanding voice of a consci
ous civilization against armed war
fare.”
Out there in the broad avenue
vfaa a simple soldier, dead for hon
or of the flag. He was nameless.
No man knew what part in the
great life of the nation he had filled
when last he passed over his home
soil. But in France he had died as

Cold weather is just around

Roosevelt Leads
Nation’s Eulogy
Ceremony at Arlington As
Pershing Arrives Home
Without Celebration.
(By The Associated Press)
Men who fought in the last war
and men who may in the next, led
tha^oei&hhtfon t tit Ate 19th «&*
niversary of the Armistice in many
lands today.
In Arlington Cemetery, President
Roosevelt paid tribute to the na
tion’s world war dead with the
traditional observance of two
minutes of.:silence before the tomb
of the Unknown Soldier.
He stood bareheaded before the
marble dome while aides placed
wreathes of flowers and army
bugles sounded taps.
The President made no address
but Daniel J. Doherty, national
commander of the American Legion
said the memory of the nation’s
world war dead could best be served
by the “atonement of enduring
peace.”
Assistant secretary of war, Louis
Johnson, cited the war-like at
mosphere and bloody conflict in
Spain and China as “who can say
in the midst of such international
chaos that we may never be called
upon again to defend ourselves.”
General John J. Pershing ar
rived in New York on the liner
Washington without ceremony and
without fanfare, in strange con
trast to his return to this country
after the war, when his name was
on every lip and his approached
to the city was the signal for a
wild celebration.
Balanced Budget
Hits More Snags
LaFoIlette Advocates Mors
Federal Spending: to Halt
Business Loss.
Washington, Nov. 11.—(/P>—The
administration’s pledge by Secre
tary Morganthau to a program of
curtailed expenditures to balance
the budget ran into today a Con
gressional demand for increased
spending.
Senator LaFoIlette (D-Wis.), a
spokesman for the self-styled lib
eral bloc and a supporter of Presi
dent Roosevelt declared additional
spending was “necessary to end the
downward spiral” in business. He
advocated increased taxes to fin
ance it.
His suggestion was directly
counter to Secretary Morganthau’s
speech in New York last night in
which the treasury head sought to
reasure business.

London, Nov. 11.—(JP)—An es
caped asylum inmate fought to the
King’s guard today with a cry of
“hypocrisy” and shattered the two
minutes of silence of Armistice
Day’s tribute to the British war
dead.
King George, standing rigidly
at attention before the solemn Ceri
otapah ignored the disturber, who
shouted:
“All this is hypocrisy—you’re
deliberately preparing for war.”
Queen Mother Mary and Queen
Elizabeth, watching from a Home
Office window, looked on agast.
With hands uplifted and, clad
in a raincoat, the middle-aged man 1
dashed through the line of sailor ,|
guards a few feet to the right and *
rear of the Monarch.
Guards scuffled on the pavement If
and placed hands over the dis- ijjj
turber’s mouth. Apparently un- |
conscious, he was carried quickly Jj

Duke Insulted

; appologized today to the Duke of
Windsor for “an insult” to a “man
who could not defend himself”, but
the Duke, nevertheless shunned an
Armistice Day service within St.
Geoi-ge’s here because his presence
was declared unwelcome.
The pastor, the Rev. J. L. C.
Dark, explained that he expressed
wish that the former British King
and former head of the Church of
England attend and told the Bri
tish Legion:
“The very last thing I wished to
do was to insult a man who couldn’t
defend himself. Reporters made
me do that. There was nothing
further from my intentions. I swear
to that.”
