10 bring the one huudredth anniversary

the revolutionary struggle was virtually
decided. although peace was not formally
established until about two years later.
1t il natural that the centennial anniver-
sarY of such an event should be cele-
irated with great enthusiasm by peo-
pie much given to centennial cele brations.
