Parade in Celebration of
Third Anniversary of
Signing of Armistice.
Spirit of Peace Felt
While thousands marched, and
thousands more shivered along the
route of the Armistice day parade
' yesterday, Omaha paid its tribute to
the heroes of the world war. and
celebrated the victory they won.
Lowering clouds which threatened
rain or snow during the morning
melted away during the forenoon,
leaving the day clear and cool, with
just enough snap in the air to make
marching a pleasure.
Long before the parade was sched
uled to start, the marchers and floats
assembled at the starting point, and
;:t 2 p. in. the long procession moved
off on schedule tunc,
Omatia' Trihute Solemn.
The spirit of Armistice day, a nev
spirit, which the American people
arc evolving, was in the air.
There was not the boisterous, un
checked enthusiasm which marked
similar demonstrations during the
war and immediately after; but there
was an tindcrcurrent of optimism,
and of the will to do which served
as a fitting sequence to the riot of
spirit which marked parades of previ
ous years.'
The parade was headed by Mayor
James Dahlman and members of the
city council, nr automobiles.
The procession was divided into
seven sections. There were fullv
3,000 marchers, and at least 2,000
more in automobiles and floats.
Cold Star Mothers Ride.
Patriotic and war organizations
which inade up the first division,
were headed by the American Leg:.i
band.
Then came the Gold Star mothers,
riding in a float, followed by the
American 'War Mothers, and mem
bers of the G. A. R., riding in auto
mobiles, i These were followed by
members of the American Legion,
marching both in uniform and in
mufti.
Placards urging limitation of
armament were borne by marchers
in the ranks. Members of the Wom
en's Overseas Swyie league, march
ing in uniform, ware cheered along
the line of march. A float, -decorated
. with flags, represented the Wom
en s Kciiei corps. Another tloat rep
resented stacked rifles, surmount
ed by a steet helmet, in ' a field of
poppies. The first section of the pa
rade was commanded by W. F. Bru-
ctt. . , '. . .
Labor in Second Section.
The second section, consisting qf
labor organizations, was headed by
John Kilmartin.
Gipsy Smith and his choir headed
the third 'division, made up of re
ligious organizations. The choir sang
hymns 'from Sixteenth street and
Capitol avenue, where the parade
started, to the Auditorium, where
it disbanded.
W. D. McHugh, jr., headed the
fourth section, composed of , benevo
lent societies of the city.
The fifth section, made up of rep
resentatives of different clubs and
fraternal organizations, was head
ed by Fred Heyn.
' Educational institutions were rep

Real Work of Arms
To Be Accomplished in Secret
"Pitiless Publicity" Program Originally Outlined for
Meeting Discarded French and British Delega
tions Want Time Limit on Duration.
By HENRY WALES.
Washington, Nov 11. Secrecy in
discussing disarmament and Pacific
problems will be used to speed up
the conference which opens on Sat
urday. "Pitiless publicity" tenta
tively outlined originally for the con
ference, has been discarded and anv
real work will be accomplished by
committees behind closed doors.
The United States government has
agreed on discussion in camera by
the committees which will handle the
different questions on the agenda.
Assurances are given that when de
cisions are reached they will be made
public. x
American circles alone continue to
believe the conference ; will last
many monthsfrom four to six is
the period mentioned.
' Want Duration Limited.
But the French and British dele
gations ar insistent that the dura
tion of the conference be limited to
far shorter space of time. Two
months is the outside period indi
cated by Mr. Arthur Balfour, chief
British delegate, in a statement to the
press yesterday.
tven less time is necessary to
reach an agreement on the questions
involved, according to the delegates
representing France. Cloture should
take place before the Christmas holi
days in their opinion..
The Americans point out that the
principal! delegates should return to
their respective countries and leave
their "exports" and technical mem
bers to continue in committee work.
here.
Both the French and British in
sist, however, that they cannot leave
officials in Washington until next
spring and that they could not en
trust their interests to figure
heads or minor attaches.
The four "little peoples repre
sented, Belgium, Holland, Portugal
and China, are equally desirous of
proceeding to business at once.
Their delegates see no reason why
the negotiations should continue in
Sunday Bee Features
When the Centre college foot ball team trounced Harvard all
sportdom was surprised and famous coaches throughout the
country wondered how "Uncle Charley" Moran, big league
umpire, could mold a grid machine that would have the
strength and ability to trim the great Harvard juggernaut.
How Moran and his two assistants developed a team of "Praying
Colonels" that is the talk of coaches from coast to coast is
one of the interesting features in the sports section of The Bee
next Sunday.
Walter Eckersall's weekly review of the foot ball situation and a
"yarn" about well-known Omaha duck hunters are two more
exclusive sports features for next Sunday.
Of course, The Bee will have complete results and accounts of all
the important foot ball games and there'll also be a special,
story on the Nebraska-Kansas foot ball game at Lincoln
- Saturday. - t
. Have you been reading those jungle stories by Charles Mayer in
the Magazine Section each Sunday? They're the hot .stuff on
hunting and trapping of big game in the tropics. There's
another of them for next Sunday.
If you're after a good, hearty laugh, look up Hanlon's half page
of cartoons on "Follies of the Passing Show." That series of
Blue Ribbon short stories The Bee is running hits the right
spot for Sunday fiction reading. "Major Wilbraham" is the
title of the tale for next Sunday.
Here's a sporting proposition! As an Omaha taxpayer, how much
of an interest in dollars and cents do you possess in the city's
big municipal water, gas and ice plants? It's all figured out
- for you, along with other interesting facts about the plants, in
a feature story by Edward Black in the Magazine Section.
There's a bit of harmony in the sheets of The Bee for next Sun
day, too. The paper is starting a series of 24 lessons on
tickling the ivories. Try 'em out on your piano. They say
they're easy and get results.
The Roto Section for next Sunday baa a full page of action pic
tures taken at games of the Omaha Soccer league. You'll
want to take a look, too, at a page of photos of interiors of
Omaha homes. It's "seme" page. .

are employed.
Based on Paris Conference.
The American viev that the con
ference may last six months is based
on the duration of the Pans peace
conference. Beside drafting peace
treaties with Germany, Austria,
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, sev
eral new states were created, and the
league of nations was organized at
Paris.
The State department announced
yesterday that following the opening
session on Saturday there will be a
secret meeting on Monday of the
committees and probably a public
meeting on Tuesday.
The committee on disarmament
will comprise a delegate from each
of; the. five great powers represented,
the United States, ' Britain, France,
Italy and Japan the "big five" of
Paris. The committee on Pacific
problems will be composed of dele
gates from the nine nations partici
pating, the "big five" and the dele
gates from the "little four."
It is expected that since Secretary
Hughes will be made president of
the conference, the chairmen of the
two committees will .be chosen
among the other participants. As
the highest ranking delegates pres
ent, it is believed, Premier Briand
will be elected chairman of the dis
armament committee and Mr. Bal

for the Pacific committee.

Chiracs Tribune-Omaha, Ilea Leaaed Wire.
Washington, Nov. 11. In the cap
ital" of the nation, which today
mourned and glorified its unknown
human sacrifice of war, delegates
of the world's great powers will as
semble tomorrow in common effort
to reduce the costly armaments of
battle and to remove international
frictions which menace peace.
President Harding, who invited
the nations to this international con
ference table, entitled it the "con
ference on limitation of armaments
in connection with which Pacific and
far eastern questions will be dis
cussed." The president, therefore, as official
ho!t or the conclave, will open the
proceedings to be held tomorrow
morning at 10:30 o clock m Conti
nental Memorial hall.
Grouped about the president as
he speaks will be the delegates from
the United States, headed by Secre
tary of State Charles Evans Hughes,
who will later be chosen presiding
officer of the conference; Great Brit
ain with Mr. Arthur Balfour presid
ing; France with Premier, Aritide
Briand; Italy, whose trroun is led
by H. C. Carlo Schanzcr, and Japan,
headed by Prince Iyesato Tokugawa.
Others Presented. .
Delegations will be there also from
China, the Netherlands, Belgium
and Portugal, the latter four invited
to participate in discussion- of Pa.
cific and far eastern questions only.
The problem of limiting armaments
will be considered only by the rep
resentatives of the- "big five," the
United States, Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan.
Xn the galleries surrounding this
impressive group of world states
men at the opening session, which
will be public, will be the diplomat
ic representatives in Washington of
all nations, the members of the su
preme court of the United States,
the senate and house of represen
tatives, the members of President
Harding's cabinet, visiting , dignata-
nes and attaches of the participat
ing delegations and representatives
of the world press. More than 300
press seats have" been provided and
nearly 100 of these will be occupied
by correspondents from abroad.
Proceedings Brief.
The proceedings of : the opening
session will, be brief. Following the
president's address of welcome, Sec
retary Hughes will be elected presid
ing officer and he also will speak.
No response will be made for the
visiting delegations and adjournment
will be taken until Tuesday. At that
time the foreign delegations may
speak, although it has not yet been
determined whether the second ses
sion will' b public. That will be de
termined when the heads of the par
ticipating delegations will meet as a
committee on procedure to decide
upon the program for the conference.
The American delegates tonight
were inclined to think that Tues
day's session also would be pub

Chief interest in the conference,
now that expressions of optimism
and good will have been exchanged
by all the powers, centered in the
concrete plan for limitation of naval
armament which has been prepared
by the United States government for

Columbus, Neb., Nov. 11. (Spe

Armistice Day if it had not been for

reflected in this prosperous and en

thousand inhabitants of Columbus
and thousands of others from sur
rounding towns capitulated early
this morning to Hartman Post No.

Legion. This eleventh day of the

which marked this day and date
three years ago. The legionaires ar
ranged 'the celebration and every
one fell in witrr fine spirit. Band con
certs throughout the day, a wrestling
program in the afternoon and a program-
of boxing bouts in the evening
epitomize the main features of the
day.
In accordance with the proclama
tion of the president bells were rung
at 11 when everyone paused to re
flect on the significance of the oc
casion; Silent Prayer.
In this two-minute interval all en

Ilr The Annotated Freu.
Washington, .Nov. 11. Under tin
wide and starry skies 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
of stone that guards his body; bu
his soul has entered into the spiriC
that is America. Wherever liberty
is held close in men's hearts, th
honoP and the glory and the pledge
of high endeavor poured over this
nameless one of fame, will be told
and sung by Americans for all time,
Scrolled across the marble arch
of the memorial raised to American
soldier and sailor dead everywhere,
which stands like a monument be
hind Jiis tomb, runs this legend. "W
here highly resolve that these dead
shall, not have died in vain."
The words were spoken by tin
martyred Lincoln, over the dead al
Gettysburg. And today, with voics
strong with determination and ring
ing with deep emotion, another
president echoed that high resolve
over the coffin of the soldier who
died for the flag in France.
Great Men to Discuss Peace.
Great men in the world's affairs
heard that high purpose reiterated
by the man who stands at the head
of the American people. Tomorrow
they will gather in tlje city that
stands almost in the shadow of the
new American shrine of liberty ded
icated today. They will talk of peace;
of the curbing of the havoc of war.
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. Aad in their
ears, when they meet, must ring '
President Harding's declaration to
day beside that flag-draped, honor.
laden bier:
"There must be. there shall te.
the commanding voice of a con
scious civilization against armed
warfare." :
Far across the seas other unknown
dead, .hallowed in memory by their
countrymen as ; this' America! sol
dier is enshrined in the heart of
America, sleep their last. He in whose
veins ran the blood of British fore
bears, lies beneath a great stone
in ancient Westminster Abbey; he
of France beneath the Arc de Trir
umphe, and he of Italy under the
Altar of the Fatherland in Rome.
And it seemed today that they,
too. must be here among the Po
tomac hills to greet an American
comrade come to join their glorious
company, to testify their approval
of the high words of hope, spoken
by America's president.
Nation Honors Hero.
All day long the nation poured
out its heart in pride and glory for
the nameless American. Before the
first crash of the minute guns roared
its knell for the dead from the
shadow of Washington monument,
the people who claim him as their
own were trooping out to do him
