FIRST ANNIVERSARY
or WARS CESSATION
Messages to American People
by President Wilson,
Pershing and Baker.
THE NATIONS HEROES
Reflections Of the Day Filled
with Solemn Pride and
Gratitude, Says Wilson.

Washington.-P resi d ent Wilson
General Pershing and Secretary Bake
Tuesday issued statements to tn
American people on the occasion o
the first anniversary of the signing
Of the armistice.
The president said to Americans
that the reflections of armistice day
will be filled with solemn pride in thu
heroism of those who died in the
for the victory both because of "the
thing from which it has freed us and
because of the opportunity it has given
America to show her sympathy with
peace and justice in the councils OF
that nations"
The exercise by the American PEG
pie Of practical patriotism during the
war, General Pershing said, was an
ayowal of their firm adherence to the
principles of free government that Will
continue to have great influence upon
the progressive thought throughout
the world
Secretary Baker said that while
mourning its dead, the nation was
grateful for their achievement and for
that of their living brothers, and that
"in the name of both we may hope for
an early accomplishment of the terms
Of peace that shall complete their work
upon the battlefields of France"
President Wilson's message follows:
ITO My Fellow Countrymen: A year
ago today our enemies laid down their
arms In accordance with an armistice
which rendered them impotent to re-
new 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
relations. The soldiers
and people of the European allies had
fought and endured for more than
four years to uphold the barrier of
against the aggressions of
armed forces We ourselves had been
n the conflict something more than a
year and half. With splendid forget
'ulness of mere personal concerns we
'emodeled our industries, concentrated
,ur financial resources, increased our
agricultural output and assembled a
'reat army, so that at the last our
'oWer was decisive factor in the vic !
DRY. We were able to bring the vast
esources, material and morale of a
reat and free people to the assist
nee Of our associates in Europe who
ad suffered and sacrificed without
INIT in the cause for which we fought.
"Out of this victory there arose new
disabilities of political freedom and
economic concert. The war showed us
he strength of great nations acting
ogether for high purposes and the
lctory OF arms foretells the enduring
onquests which can be made in peace
hen nations act justly and in further
nee of the common interests of men.
o us in America the reflections of
rmlstice day will be filled With sol
mn pride in the heroism of those
no died in the country's service and
18th gratitude for the victory, both
ecause of the thing from which it has
eed us and because of the opportun-
y 1t has given America to show her
with peace and Justice in
e councils of nations.
