ARM1srIcE DAY.

One year ago the greatest war of all his
tory was stopped by an armistice, which still is
in effect. Rejoicing was worldwide. Those
who can recall the exuberance with which the
day and hour was hailed, and the subsequent
demands that the date be made a perpetual
holiday, may marvel at the indifference with
which the event is now regarded.
As a matter of fact, such expressions as have
been heard in connection with any proposed
celebration have been Of disappointment and
adverse to the project Vaguely the people
feel that in some way they are cozzened of
the fruits of that victory. One year ago they
saw the defeated Germans laying down arms,
turning over such trophies of war as were
never taken from vanqushed army, and it
seemed that new day and 4 new glory had
come to the world.
What has taken place since that time to so
thoroughly change the views of Americans? 1t
is unthinkable they seriously wish the slaughter
had continued; they were we'll enough pleased
that the fighting should terminate, but few Of
them now think that America secured even
safety as result Of the tremendous effort made
1t seems reasonable to ascribe some if not
all of the present feeling to the outcome of the
peace conference. Instead o, the United States
playing the great role for which it was cast we
find it did not dominate that peace council, and
its citizens are not sure their interests were as
safely guarded as they should have been.
Armistice Day ought to be holiday, an
occasion of jubilation, but until we have
emerged from the mists that surround the
League of Nations and other antiquities and
uncertainties of the Versailles treaty we will
not know whether we should feast or fast on
the anniversary of the day the fighting ended
