.Aimistice Day-Its Lesson

ONE year ago today the armistice was
~ signed and, in effect, the war which had
racked the world for four years was brought
TO a glorious ending. Richmond, like all
other communities throughout the country,
INDUCED in an impromptu celebration, which
here, as elsewhere, partook Of the spirit of
the noble khaki-clad Americans overseas

year really slips by quickly, but we have
had time enough to discover some of our
mistakes Of twelve months ago. For in
stance, we have learned that the war did not
purify all things; that it did not transform
men into angels; that it did not at once
solve the economical, social and industrial
problems. On the contrary, it seems to have
added new problems to the list and sur
rounded old ones with new difficulties and
compiled tons.
The war brought out and put into action
q more or less latent American spirit that
astonished the peoples Of the civilized
world, even Americans themselves, and to-
day Americans all over the country are cele-
brating the first anniversary of the day when
that spirit reached high-water mark The
whole world, not excepting Germany, recog-
nizes the fact that it was that spirit which
broke down the German spirit OF universal
domination, blasted their hope OF a world
empire to be all German, and made true
democracy possibility, coming certainty,
where heretofore it has been only the thin
shadow Of dream.

SEEN ON THE SIDE
By HENRY EDWARD WARNER
Resting.


II Is Sunday on the Severn. and I'm sitting nice
and cumfy
In big, old shioncd armchair by tho
open fireplace;
And cracking chestnut backlog splits it's
music to delight me,
And the dying sparks play leapfroE in a
merry fire race.
Through the wind-chillcd panes the river
winds it's way to Indian Landing
Like picture by some artist with his soul
attuned to love,
And the carpets of November, gold and brown
and richly mellow,
Stretch in endless hills and meadows, with
smiling Sky above
l would write would write poem on some
noble theme and sounding,
Would invoke the Muse lift me to some
height of noble things;
would pen some richening message, or essay
Olympian reaches,
Battling TO attain the heavens on my feeble
earthly wings!
But can't! am cumfy in my armchair
by the fireplace!
An the Severn is SO wondrous, and the hills
brown of crests .
What's the use of writing poems when a man
sit and them
Sit and see them through the window, and
enjoy them as he rests!

When man has reached the allotted time
he is no longer lured by ambition some new

average elderly person Is not interested in ne w

worry about fashions. He Is done planning.
His house is finished and is In order. He finds
