DAY OF ARMISTICE
OBSERVED IN WAUSAU IN
THE CITY SCHOOLS AND
AT WAUSAU CLUB

This is Armistice Day-November
IL. 1t is the first anniversary since the
closing of the World War One year
ago the whole world was wild with
rejoicing and it was one of the men,
orable days of our country. Two mil
lion of our young men were in Europe
and it is happiness too great to be told
that these young men are at their
homes following various avocations as
quietly as if nothing had happened.
The day will be observed with more
intensity and enthusiasm as the years
pass until it shall be second only to
our Fourth of July.
In our city there were programs
in all of the schools celebrating the
day, both in the public and parochial.
Brayton E. Smith addressed the
Marathon County Training school. AS
Mr.. Smith was abroad in Y. M. c. A.
work, during the war his address was
very interesting on an occasion like
this.
In many cities of our state, the day
is entirely devoted to the observance
of the event. At the Wausau Club
this evening, DR.. Samuel PlantZ of
Lawrence University will speak, also
Karl Mathie. While it will be in the
nature of a patriotic meeting it will
also be in the interests of the Wis
consin Colleges.

The election on Tuesday showed up
rather more favorable for the demo-
Gratis than republicans. The former
won in New Jersey, Kentucky, Mis-
sissippi and Maryland. The Massa-
chusetts election, though won by the
republicans, was especially a cause
for rejoicing by the democrats as well
as all law abiding citizens of this
country. President Wilson sent the
following message to Gov. Calvin
Coolidge of Massachusetts,
"Hon. Calvin Coolidge, Boston, Mass,
81 congratulate you upon your cleo
ton as victory for law and order
When that is the issue all Americans
stand together.

Senator Lodges Job

1t is apparently no easier for Sen
ator Lodge to reconcile his composite
majority to his program of "reserva-
tions" than it was to bring them to
unanimity with respect to amendments
TO the treaty. Following the defeat OF
the first lot of amendments Mr.. Lodge
solemnly assured the people that there
could be no ratification of the treaty
without "effectiye" reservations, and
he permitted the impression that the
adoption of these qualifications OF
Americas acceptance was to be mat
Ter of only a few days time. Indeed,
Mr.. Lodge gave figures to support his
prediction-or threat.
The sequel shows that upon the
question of reservations" as upon the
issue of amendments and every other
vital proposition, the republican ma
iority in the Senate is simply an ag-
gregation of factions. There are re-
publican senators who are opposing
reservations" as vigorously as they
opposed amendments; there are some
who favor strong" and others who
prefer weak" reservations; there is
besides the coterie that wants to kill
the treaty whether with the bludgeon
of amendments or the club of "reser-
VatiOns"-it is not particular which.
All that Mr.. Lodge has to do, there
fore, is to harmonic these divergent
elements; to induce them to accept his
plans for leadership. That also was
the only task he had with regard to
amendments-and the public has an
acute recollection of what happened.
Already there are signs that Senator
Lodge, who began as a sponsor of
amendments and subsequently became
a champion of reservations" will be
forced to shift his ground again and
find himself ultimately in the company
of mild reservationists.

Armenian was arrested at the time.

''Well. he reluctantly consented to
act. though the truth was that he knew
no Armenian whatever. Anyhow he
stalked into the courtroom. listened in
grave silence to the prisoners pas

then turned to the Judge and said with

why does the heU Gross neeu
money? The war is over"
National headquarters of the Ameri-
can Red Cross has answered this Ques-
ticn, and has outlined graphically the
reasons why it is necessary to raise
$15,0O0,OO0 for its international, ma
tional and local work.
In brief the answer is as follows:
Because: The actual war work is
not completed. The Red Cross cannot
lay down its responsibilities to the
American soldiers, sailors or marines
until everyone of them has been re-
leased from service, recovered from
Illness or wounds or receiving proper
care, or back in the place in the world
from which the war snatched them.
Because: The American Red Cross
is planning to launch a comprehensive
program for peace times, designed to
prevent the needless waste of human
lives through preventable diseases and
accidents in America; continue and
broaden its home service work and
public nursing first aid, home hygiene
end Junior Red Cross activities.
Because: BY recent act of Con.
gress medical, surgical and dietary
food supplies valued at $35,000,00O'
were turned over to the Red Cross by
the government, the supplies having
been purchased for use with the Amer.
lean forces. These supplies are scat.
tered throughout Europe many of
them far from the places where they
are most needed. The prompt and
efficient distribution and handling of
these supplies means the maintenance
Of a force Of trained workers where
the supplies are and where they are
most needed.
Because: Pestilence and starvation
have gripped many European coun-
tries because of the war. These coun-
tries are unable to cope with their own
difficulties, and the only force, organ
lied with facilities capable of stepping
into the breach and bringing order
from chaos is, the Red Cross. Typhus
sapping the man strength of many
countries, and the American Red Cross
is using every available power to
cnecK II.
Because: The Red Cross must be
prepared to meet emergencies arising
from disasters at home and abroad.
The Red Cross membership must be
maintained at its present high stan
dard. Every enrolment is a vote of
confidence in the past performances of
the American Red C"Oss and reaf
firmation of the belief in the principles
for which it has stood in the past and
its plans for the future. 5.iS%
The Red Cross, having committed
itself to definite and comprehensive
program, cannot turn back, and to go
forward it must have as general a
membership as possible and ample
funds to provide for any contingency.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1919-11-11

war footing to peace footing, put
general program has been mapped out,
to be adjusted ind readjusted as needs
require, for chapter, division and ma
tional organizations.
Between Nov. 2 and IL the Red
Cross will call it's roll for the third
time and ask the people to give vote
of confidence in the past performances,
and a reaffirmation of the principles
which will guide its progress in the
future.
The war activities have not all been
stopped, and will not be stopped until
the last American soldier is home and
able once again to take his place in the
business or industrial world. The sol
dier's family also must be cheered and
comforted and assisted until he is
able to care for. them. No program
can be laid down by the Red Cross
that does not include this unfinished
war work as first obligation.
Ever since the organization of the
Red Cross there have been responsible
ties which now have become tradi-
1ional. These include service to the
standing army and naval forces, miti-
cation of suffering either at home or
abroad from famine, fire, floods or
great disasters. The Red Cross also
must continue and broaden it's work
in the field of nursing, maintain its
courses in first aid, dietetics and home
care of the sick.
New responsibilities have come with
the war. Higher standards have been
set up by individuals and nations in
regard to human life saving, and pre-
venting needless suffering. In con-
uection with the new tasks these re-
sponsibilities entail, the Red Cross will
assist, stimulate and supplement, but
not supplant, local agencies engaged
In the same lines of endeavor.
The volunteer spirit which. brought
such measure of success during the
war, will be carefully nurtured. We
will need volunteers to conduct the
Third Roll Call and when emergencies
arise we will call for volunteers to
assist if necessary.
; The Third Roll Call in the Central
Division will be held to enroll 4,00O,-
900 annual dollar members for 1920
and to raise 100000 in the five
states in the division. Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
! Every membership is a vote of con-
fidence in the Red Cross, each dollar
means the lifting of some burden.
The Red Cross needs universal CO.
operation in carrying out it's peace
program. 1t needs the hearts of the
millions who enrolled during the Sec
'ond roll call.
1t needs YOU.

MICHIGAN ONCE HAD SLAVES
Only in 1886 Did human Chatteis Be-
come Improbable to Their
Owners In That State.

Few Detfoiters of the present gen.
GRAFTON know that Michigan was once
slave territory, or that the city OF
Detroit, for period of nearly one
hundred years, included a considerable
number of slaves in its population. OBJ
serves the Detroit News. The early
French settlers lived largely by trad
ing with the Indians. At first they
bought furs only, but each spring the
Indians of Michigan would make war
raids into territory south and west,
and they would bring back captives
when they sometimes killed by tor
ture, but later they found 1T more prof
liable to sell them to the white settlers
as slaves. Most Of these Indian slaves
were from the Pawnee tribe.
Later negro slaves were bought in
the East, principally In the state of
session in 1760 they found quite q
number Of slaves, Indians and negro,
ana they continued the practice. The
census Of the district In 1773 showed
90 men and 30 women slaves in COM
munity that numbered less that 300
adult white men. In 1872 there were
1To slaves In Detroit. The ordinance
of ITS7 forbade slavery In the North
west territory, but Detroiters paid no
attention to this Constitutional act.
There were enough negroes in Detroit
In 1907, slave and free. TO enable Gov
ernor Hull to organize a company OF
coIored militia.
In 1918 the assessor for Wayne cOun-
ty made slaves taxable property, and
this proved encouragement to slave
holding. BY 1882 there were only 81
slaves left La Michigan territory, and
In 1888 the last one had been manu-
nnitted. Less than 20 years later Mich
igan. having found slaveholding un-
profitable, became ardently abolition
list, and Detroit was converted into q
terminal Of the underground railway"
through which runaway slaves from
the South found their way to freedom
In Canada.
