OUR ARMlsTIcE DAY cELERRA
TON.

To the Editor of the News:
Wauwatosa' observance of Armis-
tice Day at the high school left the
impression that defence of Ger
many had indirectly been at
tempted by the speaker of the eve
ming. Mr. Wild devoted a consider
able part of his time to review of
the wars of the world from 1851 to the
present, in which long list the great
world war seemed to fall in as nat
ural occurrence. He then dwelt at
length on mob outbreaks and lawIess-
ness in the United States after which
he added, LET us not hear more of
Hun atrocities" etc. The remainder
of his time was devoted to an appeal
to common sense" patriotism, re-
spect for law and order and an ora
torical picture of the blessings of
peace. No reference was made to the
war just closed, the nation guilty of
precipitating it, our country's motives
in entering it, or IT'S part in it. Wau-
watosa's returned soldiers, some
twenty of whom sat in the audience,
were ignored.
Seventy-five per cent of those pres
ent were school children. If their in
forma ton about the war is to be Sc.
cured from meetings of this character
it will be perverted and lacking in
truth. We are informed that Mayor
Koenig is responsible for Mr.. Wild's
choice as the speaker of the evening.
That there be no future public meet
ings of this kind we would suggest the
advisability of electing new mayor
next spring
Yours very truly,

few days in the city inspecting the

The equipment was purchased by
the Chamber of Commerce. Installa-
ton was made by Prof. Arno *. Leu

sity will furnish a man to take the
readings and keep the necessary rec
ords.
The Chamber of Commerce has
taken up with the government wealth

eastern papers each day. If such an
arrangement can be made, Albuquer-
que weather records will be extensive
ly circulated throughout the east.
