ARMIsTIcE DAY.

ARMISTICE DAY.
One year ago today, the Germans
signed the armistice which put an
end to the Great War, the greatest
conflict in the history of the world.
On that day at eleven o'clock the
guns which had belched forth death
and destruction for over four long
years ceased to fre-and Poilu, and
Tommie and Yank looked across No
Mans Land at the Boche, no longer
fearing the "red rain." 1t was a day
Of rejoicing over the whole world.
Those who were in France will never
forget the joyful cry Of the French
people, "Fini la GuerreV"
We are called upon today to cele-
brate the first anniversary of this
day. One year-and as yet we are
not at peace with Germany. Many
Of the high ideals which are people
professed as reasons for our en-
traRce into the war have seemingly
been dumped into the scrap heap Of
forgotten ideas.
This day we should think carefully
and question our selves as to wheth-
er our ideals and our purposes as a
nation are as high and lofty, as we
professed them during the war.
