DAY Of SOLEMN
PRIDE SAYS WILSON
PRESIDENT ISSUES ADDRESS TO
NATION ON THE ANNIVERSARY
OF THE ARMISTlCE.
Pride in the Heroism of Those Who
Died In the Country's Service
and Gratitude for the
Victory Won.

shington.-President Wilson, Gen.
eral Pershing and Secretary Baker on
November 10 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 victory,
both because of 'the thing from which
it has freed us and because of the
opportunity 1t has given American to
show her sympathy with peace and
| justice in the councils Of the nations"
The exercise by the American peo-
PIE of practical patriotism du ing the
war, General Pershing said, was an
avOwal 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 It's dead, the nation was
grateful for their achievement and for
that of their living brothers, and that
| lin 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"
Text of Message.
President Wilson's message follows:
ITO my fellow countrymen:
"a year ago today our our enemies
laid down their arms in accordance
with an armistice which rendered
them impotent to renew hostilitles and
gave to the world an assured oppor-
tunity to reconstruct its shattered
order and to work out in peace a new
and juster set of. international rela-
lions. The soldiers and people Of the
European allies had fought and en-
dured for more than four years to up
hold the barrier of civilization against
the aggression Of armed forces. We
ourselves had been in the conflict some
thing more than year and a half.
With splendid forgetfulness of mere
personal concerns, 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 de-
cisive factor in the victory. We were
able to bring the vast resources, ma
terial and moral, of a great and free
people to the assistance of our asso-
ciates 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 us
the strength of great nations acting
together for high purposes and the
victory of arms fortells the enduring
conquests which can be made in peace
when nations act justly and in fur
| therance of the common interests Of
men. To us in America the reflections
emn pride in the heroism of those who
died in the country's service and with
gratitude for the victory, both because
of the thing from which 1t has freed
which it has given America to show
her sympathy with peace and justice
in the councils of nations.
