 Executive Department.
 "state of Arizona. The tfth of Novtmber is a day of solemn significance. Two years ago the trumpet of the Lord. which shall never call retreat sounded the glad tldlnws to a war-torn and war-weary world that the hour of triumph had struck for the allied cause. that fear of German domination had been ban ished forever. and that liberty. free peoples and free institutions shall not perish from the earth. Silence. awe inspired. was followed by demonstra- tions of Joy and pasns of praise. min rled with prayers Of thanksgiving from the mothers and fathers who had given their sons as a sacrificial offer ting that mankind might be free. And with tho battle flfgs furled and the cannon muzzled ciIme the hope that there had been ushered in the era, foretold by the prophet. And they Hhaii beat their swords into piowshares and their spears Into pruning hooks, sation shall not lii't up sword against nation. neither shall they learn war any more
 The prico of victory was paid in blood The fields of France are crim- son e stained and beneath the sod crushed and maimed. lie the flower of our young manhood. They gave their all. and Co them grateful nation will pay its reverent homage.
 ITO those who have returned to home and kindred we also owe a trib- ute. and it is my earnest and sincere hope that the time is not far distant wiren the observance of Armistice day win be not only national. but interna- tioral in scope. Recognition of the vaior of our defenders is just and de- served. but our duty does not end there These mtn are deserving and should receive more substantial evi- dence of our gratitude. Words of praise. not baci<e,i by deeds. are hollow and meaningless. Their appeal for land fn order Co build homes. aid In the de veicpnent of the state and assist in itn moral and material advancement should be hoedet by tho next lcgisia - fure. to which iiody their claims will be presented by the American Legion an orEnnization with tho objects and purposes of whtsh l am in hearty ac- cord
 -It ls fitting that due honor be paid Co the survivors of the greatest war ir the history Of mankind and that tho people of Arixtina publicly aclxnowl- edGo through formal observance. thcii FratIkudo to those who so heroically represented this state.
 Now. therefore. l. Thomas E. Camp ball governor cf the state of Arizona by virtue of tho authority vested fin mo by law. do hereby designate Thurs. day. November n. 1920. as Armistics day, and urgently request that it bs observed as a public holiday. I fur. ther suggest and urge that our people participate in the exercises to be hei, by the Americiln Legion. commemora tive of the ulomentous event. thu demonstrating that we are not un mindful of an obligation that as stat or nation cannot ever be cancelled.
 Tn witness whereof have hcreun to set my hard and caused the grea seal of the stltte Of Arizona to be af fixed.
 Done at Phoenix. the capital, thi M 2sth day of October. A. D. 1920.
