ThisIs the second ANNIVERSARY of the signing of
the armisticC. Two years ago today the great world
war came TO an end; the booming of guns ceased:
the hour OF victory had arrived. The nation went
wild with Joy. Two years ago in this citya demon
straton took place such had never been seen here
before Today the celebration will be confined to
a special meeting of the local American Legion post
this evening In other parts OF the state and nation
more elaborate ceremonies will mark the day Per-
hups The hest way that each American citizen can
honor those who fought and died for the nation in
the great war is to rededicate ourselves today TO
the high ideals for which they gave their all on the
fields OF Flanders; to vow to carry on" the stand
ards Of the nation in peace war. MAJOR General
Peyton c. March, chief of staff, in his Armistice Day
statement says: "On the second anniversary OF
Armistice Day we turn thoughts form the strife
OF politics. from the surge of business, to acclaim
again our army in the world war. have recently
inspected our cemeteries in France with their rows
of hero dead and not conceive Of the aftermath
Of war making us forgetful OF the splendid sacri-
fees Of our army and the whole people during the
war. Their record of achievement and self denial
will forever be a national Inspiration"

LIE SAVES LIVES
Chief Steward Quiets Refugees
on Endangered Ship.
Lights Pipe With Steady Hand and
Tells Passengers There Is NO
Danger-Riot Would Have
Doomed Vessel.

This is a story of white lie, which
was told in the White sea. 1t was tod
by the chief steward of White Star
liner, says the Montreal Star.
During the evacuation of the Muir
mansk coast, when tens of thousands
of refugees and troops were being
taken away from north Russia to
escape the bolShevik firing squads. one
of the liners, a new White Star vessel,
was blown onto a reef close inshore
with a thousand troops and l,5OO refu-
gees on board. It happened at eleven
O'Clock at night, and until a. m. the
shin pounded on the reef, tearing Eer
bottom plates to pieces. also making
considerable water in all her holds.
The captain held final consuita-
ton in his cabin. himself, the CHER en-
gineer, purser, chief steward and other
department heads being present. Inc
| captain stated coldly that in his own
op!nion when the ship got tf-the reef.

ply be 4 nose dive into deep wafer
! The chief steward then ropn"ted
that every man. woman and cIiiI;t on
the ship wore life belt. even me ha-
bies. The soldiers were also equipped.
He also stated that he had the pas
sencers fairly we'll in hand. WELL"
said the captain. 1--WE may as well
make preparations for the worst.
.'If she takes water the way | think
she will, it will simply be a case or
every man for himself"
The conference was over and the
chief steward left the captains CABIN
and stood at the top of the STAIRS
above the upper deck. TWO thousand
pairs of eyes were peering up at him
to read the fate of the ship and them
selves. Chief Steward Robinson did
not wilt. He took out his pipe andyllt
il with a steady hand. then turning
TO the moiling crowd below. that need
ed only a wod to turn ii into a seeth-
Ing mob, he said:
"There is no danger at all. You can

shin slid off but did not sink. She
was q new vessel and her patent
double bottom had saved her. Later
on she was forced to dock at Gro
marty. a naval base in the north or
Scotland, and this was safely man
aged. All tho passengers. mostly may
ors of Russian towns and their de-
pendents. were landed without mis-
nap. Had q riot occurred OF hoArh
ship the ships staff could never nave
handled her in the skillfu way when
prevented her from leaving half her
bottom on the reef. Chief Steward
Robinson, with his pipe III naha. iiao
told the biggest lie in his life, but IL
was white one and did the trick.
He stated afterward that the reason
his hand did not shake was for TWO
