YEAR AGO SAW BIC CELEBRATION
 OF N|AR'S END

The day a year ago on November Il when the bells rang out their joyous chorus seems a long way back now. At that time it seemed as if all the worlds problems were going to be settled right off. Man had gone through a purifying process, and his evil ways had been cleansed in the furnace of afliction.
 As time has gone on, these buoyant hopes have been abated Man ap- pears about the same old animal that he always was, with much mora tendency to root and to put his feet in the trough than to fly.
 However, it is very foolish to yield to depressing thoughts. Armistice Day should forever be one of glorifi- cation. Then American spirit was at its high water mark. The American people, in the face of the worlds doubts and the contempt of enemies, had just given a demonstration of what they could do.
 American spirit broke q line of de- fences that all the allied armies had considered inpreg aable, and which no one else had thought of attempt ing. In so doing they broke the back of the war. The spirit shown by the American soldiers was something marvellous. There was nothing like it in the war. There was a determine ton and fervor. a daring of all ob- stacles, that astonished the world and broke the German spirit.
 AS American spirit could do that in war, it can do the same thing in peace. The display of the same sacr!- fee, the same discipline, the same resolution, can resolve our little in dustrial and social problems like tn" oI-l lDF oi,7sr c1Ito that Is needed is leadership and de- termination, the spirit of service anu of loyalty to the historic American ideals.

life may be given a blow such as no military invasion could ever have given 1t.
 Let it be said most solemnly: This is not the time to say, get while the getting is good.' This is a time when all parties, all talents. all interests must be unitedly devoted to pulling our country through 8 stormy period in the worlds history. If this, the strongest country of them all, should go the way of the others, then farewell progress for sever al generations.
 We need in this country, oh, we need 1t so badly, a new na- tional morale. We had 1t during the war. Everybody gave every thing they had to the supreme object. And yet 1t was a lesser object than the one that challen- ges us now.
 Unfortunately, much of the propa s&nda in favor of law and order and industry is fostered by interests whose motives have aI- ways been questionable. Much of . the appeal is tainted with mater talisna of the crassest type. Un- less a higher motive can be sup piled the results will not be sat- isfactory.
 The nation needs morale, a morale like that which inspired our war work. Ike nation needs to unite all it's ideals and all it's power for the accomplishmen ent of a single object in whose achievement all shall find re- ward.
 In 1917 We were united be- cause we knew what we were trying to do. There was unity of knowledge first.
 Do we know what we are try ing to do today? Is there any such unity of knowledge as to the dangers which now threa ten our country, and as to the part we can individually play in averting them?
 What we need in order to the creation of q morale that shall savS the country from the dis tresses which wait upon wrong courses is, first. a complete and convincing instruction in the fact that the social structure Is in danger. and second, a complete Instruction in the falss doctrines an~ the true doctrines concern ing the way in which the country shall be saved, and then an in spirational drive upon the affec- lions and principles of all the people to arouse them once again to the great privilege of serving the United States.
 Such a campaign would be of benefit for generations yet to come. How dangerously at the mercy of every false economic doctrine is 8 country which can be deceived by he fallacy that so-called ''capital' and so-called Tabor divide the problems be- tween them! What We need is the recognition of a new third par ty. the Consuming Public, which Is able to set both these disturb ing factors in their places
 With nations as with 1ncividu- als-only the period of their ig- norance can be deceived by bum co-steerers. Many social promises which are alluring. are not true. Many economic devices look right, but they are wrong. Many radical industrial actoisn
 radical industrial actions are pos sible, but they are absolutely de- structive of the very benefits they seek. But how are the peo- pie to know this unless they are

We are the only nation tn the world that has a job today, and there are indications that the people dc not appreciate that fact. We seem to think that we are going to keep that job no matter what we may do. The American people, or part or them, are acting as if they could Eot possibly kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
 The people of the United Stat-s are capable of teamwork for long periods and for hard jobs. We have proved that whenever we have a job that en- lists our interest and conviction we can go st it in resistless pow CT and united purpose.
 Never in all our history was the nation so united as during 1917-18. Take all he great cris- es of our n4tio7 Il life since it's beginning, and in none of them was the nation so free of divi- sion.
 We sometimes get the impress sion from books that the nation was united during the Revolu- tionary war But 1t wasn't. The defection among the fathers was greater than the most Vio- Iently suspicious patriot could have imagined in 1917. And so 1t was in the time of the Civil War-the North so torn by divi- sion as to endanger the re-elec- ton of Abraham Lincoln.
 But although we were more polyglot people in 1917 and had more ties stretching across the seas, the fact is that when the World War came upon us we presented a greater spectacle of unity on the basis of the ideal than ever we had done before.
 All of which but emphasizes the question: Why is it that in 1917 we can do everything with out division and internal strife while in 1919 we are pulling and hauling in an endless series of an gonisms which threaten to overturn our whole national prosperity? Why is it?
 Why cannot we achieve as hisl degree of unity for the purpose of saving the Unit ed States as We achieved for he purpose of whipping our enc mics?
 The first answer to the ques- tion is probably this: We are not aware that the United States nee9s saving.
 Well, consider. If you were an enemy of the United States, desirous of depriving her of the lead she has gained, jealous of her natural wealth and industrial productivity. how would you go about it to ruin her, or at least hurl her down to the distressful level of other countries today?
 Why one glance about the world provides you with the method. The surest way to ruin a country today is to continue the war by transferring it to 'classes" and interests" by con- vincing one section of the people that another section mas devilish designs upon them, and then get both sections fighting.
 Even the capitalism of one country, seeing it's own business laundering in a Sea of strikes and its own fine production sys- tens rusting through months of endless pickering and idleness, might be moved to envy against another country where indus trial peace still reigned, and might say, Well. to keep this race even, we ought to foment trouble in that country also, Why

system generally in use, nor Is it en-
tirely automatic, but combines it Is

Unlike the automatic system,
switchboard opcrators-are employed,
but the old fashioned switchboard
with its plugs and cords, is eliminat-
