WILSON, PESH|NG
AND BAKER SPEAK
OF ARMIST|CE DAY
President Says Reflections Of
Great Occasion Would Be
Filled With Solemn Pride In
Heroism Of Those Who Died
In Country's Service
OUT OF THIS VICTORY
POLITICAL FREEDOM

(By The Associated Press Correspondence
Washington. Nov. ii. = President
Wilson, General Jershing, and Secre-
tary Baker, today issued statements to
the American people on the occasion
of the first anniversary of the signing
of the armistice
The President said to Americans the
reflections of Armistice Day would be
filled with solemn pride in the heroism
of those who died in the country's ser
vice and with gratitude for the vic
tory both because OF 1.-THE thing from
which it has freed us, and because OF
the opportunity it has given America
20 show her sympathy with peace and
Justice in the councils of the nations. >
President Wilson's message follows:
ITO my Fellow Countrymen:
"A year ago today the enemies laid
down their arms in accordance with
an armistice which rendered them i'm
potent to renew hostilities, and gave
to the world an assured opportunity
to reconstruct its shattered order and
to work out in peace a new and juster
set of international relations. The
soldiers and people of the European
Allies had fought ard endured for
more than four years to uphold the
barrier of civilization against the ag-
gressions of armed force. We our
selves had been in the conflict some
thing more than year and half.
With splendid forgetfulness of mere
personal concern we remodeled our
industries, concentrated our financial
resources, increased our agricultural
output, and assembled a great army,
so that at the last our power was a
decisive factor in the victory. We
were able to bring the vast resources
material and moral, of great and
free people to the assistance of our as
sociates in Europe who had suffered
and sacrificed without limit in the
cause for which we fought.
"Out of this victory there arose new
possibilities of political freedom and
economic concert. The war showed
rs the strength OF great nations to-
gcther for high purposes, and the vic
DRY OF arms foretells the enduring
conquests which can be made in peace
when nations act justly and in further
ance of the common interests of men
To us in Americsls the reflections OF
Armist:ce Day win be filled with sol
emn pride in the heTo;sm of those who
lied in the country's service. and with
gratitude for the victory both because
Of the thing from which it has freet
us. and because Of the opportunity il
has given America to sho% her sym
pathy with peace1and justice in thG
councils of nations.

A couple of seconds later two more

A number of subscribers in the
various precincts Of Van Buren, coun-
ty have failed to complete payment
Of their subscription to the County
War Fund. The War Fund was
solicited last spring on the theory and
promise that no further subscriptions
would be asked before next May
This promise was made of course with
the expectation that every dollar sub
scribed would be paid in. The War
Board expects to make good on the
promise, but it is absolutely necessary
that every dollar of the subscriptio'
be paid in. The war of course is t.
all intents and purposes ended; but
the work Of the allied war boards is
not completed, nor will it be until
after every American soldier is at
home. There is need for every dollar
Of the Van Buren, county War Fund,
and every subscriber should see that
his full subscription is paid at once,
and not make it necessary for an
other soliticor to make personal
call for collection.

mo disgrace to be Poor" is an
expression often seen in print, and
sentiment sometimes uttered from
the pulpit and public platform by sim
cere and we'll meaning orators. The
sentiment is undoubtedly as true to-
day as in the years gone by. Never
theless it will be mighty humiliating
in Van Buren, county in the future
for the friends Of an old soldier, if
he does not happen to have enough
laid by to provide a respectable burial
when Taps sound for him. In a reso-
luton passed by the Board of Super
visors at their recent session, $500
was fixed as a maximum charge for
the burial of an INDECENT soldier or
sailor. The resolution was offered
by Supervisor Burger of Bangor;
Supervisor Wheeler of Antwerp
moved an amendment to make the
maximum $4,000, and the yea and
nay vote that followed showed at
least a part of the Board had con
science, and were i'm favor of show
ing some little respect to the momory
of those departed heroes of the great
war, even though fortune had not
smiled on him in the declining years.
The amendment lost however, and
the original motion carried. The
burial expense Of an old soldier is
therefore limited to $500. Think of
it! What a magnanimous tribute to
one who has fought and bled to pre-
serve the Union in those dark days
of '61 to '65. Why bury them at all =?
Why not send the mortal remains to
the medical department of some
University who would be glad to save
Van Buren, county the muniicent
burial fee of $500 and perhaps pay
a few dollars for the privilege. No
community with a spark of humane
patriotism will ever permit ~
soldier to be laid to rest with the ser
vice that the $500 allowed by the
county will purchase.

The United States Post Office De-
partment has up to this date, offered
no adequate explanation of the bung-
ling delivery of soldiers mail across
the water. The inefficiency for which
the government is being severely
criticised is not newspaper bunk or
political capital. 1t is the actual fact
as it exists. Just for illustration, one
Paw Paw boy who has been twice
wounded and has been in hospital
in France for several months, has
not received a single piece of mail
since last June. His parents have
written him several times each week
during all these months, and his
friends and home ! companions have
sent letters and post cards with
number. Besides this, his parents
mailed a parcel of several dollars
value, that would make the heart of
the wounded boy glad; but it has
never been delivered. 1t is easy to
comprehend the difficulty of prompt
delivery of letters to the boys at the
Front, or to those who are being
transferred frequently; but to one
whose address remains the same for
months, and in a hospital at that, the
gross inefficiency is difficult to con-
template. No blame can be attached
to postmasters or employees at home.
The fault lies in the system or rather
lack of system in handling the soldiers
mail abroad.
