pital at Hampton Roads, Va, deliv-
cred most eloquent tribute to the
service OF the men during the war
She paid wonderful tribute to their
heroism through the pain they suf.
fered in the hospitals for the honor of
their country and those they loved.
Miss Wheeler, during the war,
nursed those sick with epidemic dis.
eases. She contracted tuberculosis,
from which she is now slowly recov.
ering at the Ohio State Sanatorium.
Her address was as follows:
"The enthusiasm we feel on recall.
ing Armistice Day is not dimmed
with the lapse OF time. Two years in
passing only accentuates the Joy we
all felt at the quitting of the cannon,
at the realization Of our victory. It
is true that we in America find II
hard to realize the terrors and pri.
vations that accompany the occupa-
tion Of ones country by a ruthless,
lawless foe. Belgium had this mis-.
fortune and has rallied to reconstruc.
tion--a hero nation. They, perhaps,
more than we, can picture what Hun
victory would mean. The authors of
barbarous warfare cared not for the
international rules that distinguish
civilization from savagery in war.
What, then, could we expect in mer.
cy from such tyrannous victor.
Defective as the-peace terms may be,
yet they are mild and lenient IL we
consider the provocation to rigid JUS.
tic our enemies tactics deserved or
our triumph could demand.
"Do we forget the generous heart
with which we promised reward to
the doughboy? Shall the richest ma.
tion of the earth reward it's soldiers
least? Such victory as ours must
indeed be purchased with both life
and treasure. Had you been with me
among the manned, the crippled, and
at the deathbeds of epidemic victims,
there would now be no hesitancy in
generosity. Who will say that the
doughboy did not do his bit?
I'VE fought for the small nations of
the earth, we fought against the
trained troops of history's most
greedy Caesar. We fought for self.
government of peoples. Has the world
been made safe for democracy? Are
there yet nations oppressed after all
the, price of the great war? The IA.
tions yet fighting will tell you. No,
tyrants are yet in power But nc
one blames the doughboy for the dip
lomat's blunders. His heart was
right, and he battled we'll for his
ideals. His ideals are our ideals and
they are American ideals and will
live in history to our lasting glory.
I'VE celebrate therefore, a glorious
victory, calling to mind on this Arm
istice Day the valoE of our men, the
savagery of our enemy, and the price.
lessness of our liberties"
Capt. Lawrence Sperry sang with
wonderful expression "The Ameri.
cans Come" song which brought a
hearty applaud from the crowded aud.
itOrium of the church.
The day, with its fine celebration,
was one long to be remembered by
the people of Mt. Vernon.

Opinions will doubtless vary re-
speeding the shade of Calvin Coolidge
for dark horse purposes but all will
agree that it must be pleasant to
have opinions like this-ascribed to
national leader who is tied up to
another andidate-expressed con-
corning oneself:
Il like Calvin Coolidge because he
is not obessed with the idea that he
has been anointed by Providence to
settle the ills of the world. | like
him because he thinks from funda-
mental principles, believes in the
simple life and the homely principles
of our forefathers. from which we
have strayed a long way. Again, he
has the ability to say things in Il
way that sticks in ones mind and
sets one to thinking. At present this
country is suffering from imitation of
everything, of the currency, of heads
and of ideas. We need some one who
will help the people get back to fun
