ton. There will be no booming of
guns or clamorous ceremony, but only
few brief and solemn hours of to-
day. to be followed by patriotic and
religious observations tomorrow.
This national solemnity, surprising
as it may seem, finds no place in the
list of legal holidays. No one inter-
rupts his daily tasks, for such was
the way with the men of 1921, who,
returning to their homes, took up
again the care of their herds.
AS night descends, the bells on all
the churches are set to pealing in
sublime concert of gratitude, rising
with penetrating poetry through the
serenity and softness of summer
night. Shortly afterward bonfires are
kindled along the heights. Here and
there will be a modest illumination or
rare display of fireworks. Occasion
ally an orator reminds the people Of
the significance of their rejoicing,
and holds up for imitation the char
