ARIMISTICE DAY

" WO YEARS ago today at eleven in the
 1 forenoon the guns along the~mIles and ; miles of sinuous battle lines in France and Flanders ceased their thunder and their smok- ing mouth began to cool. Flanders poppies .the few trees; the bits of natures grass and green which for four long years had been famed by the breath of hell, yet somehow escaped, again felt the soothing of the afternoon breeze. The cruel, snarling dogs of war; spent and hag- gard, were put in leash A silence such as had almost forgotten, fell over those horror re- gions; twilight and evening followed. For the first time in half hundred months the night was not filled with human slaughter and every where men and women were as silly children in their joy.
 Two years have passed, but has all that men and women hoped and expected been ac- complshed? In that moment of exaltaton every American bosom swelled with pride at the idea that America had made it possible at the idea that America stood at the front of the
 Something has been accomplished but America fingers. Is it possible that as those aw- ful echoes grow fainter time passes that America forgets? She paid price to help make an eternal armisce. Is she going to forget the price or the object for which it was paid?
 May this second anniversary of Armistice day awaken and arouse America to finish the task she grandly began and once more take her place in world leadership.

Foch, Joffre and
 Petain Honor Dead

Paris, Nov. 11.-Ohicia1 and civ ilian France today did honor to the memory of the nations sons who fell during the great war.
 ' Called from it's grave on the field of Verdun, the body of an unidenti- emnly through the streets and re- buried under the Arc De Triomphe. Following the fag-draped gun car riage on which the coffin rested, walked President Mil1erand, cabinet members and three French marshals whose genius accomplished the final defeat of Germany, and Petain, whose defense of Verdun will forever live in French song and story.
 In addition, France took occasion to remember that fifty years ago the couitry defeated by Germany owed its very existence for a, time to Leon Gambetta, who took virtually control of Paris when the city was beseiged by Germans, and alter succeeded in organizing armies to continue the fu- tile struggle agains tthe Teuton in- vaders. The heart of Gambetta, which had been preserved since his death in 1882, was inurned in the Pantheon, the national shrine of France
 The gun carriage on which rested the coffin of an unknown soldier at tracted greater attention than the car ebaring the heart of Gambetta. All last night huge crowds filled Place Denfert- -Rochereau, awaiting the ar rival of the, body from Verdun. This body was chosen from among eight others last night by Private August Thin, a native of Caen, Brittany, who was a volunteer during the war. At the request of Andre Maginot, Minis ter of Pensions, the veteran .>aced his hand on one coffin lying in state in the Verdun citidel.

Bishop GaiLor Pleads
 For Larger Sense or
 Church. Responsibility

Church unity and a more generous support Of missions as an obligation were the central thoughts upon which emphasis was laid during the discus sions at the missionary service yes terday afternoon in St. Johns Epis- copal church, which formed par, of the program of the fourtieth annual meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary ;o the presiding Bishop and Council of the Diocese of Connecticut.
 Rt, Rev. chauncey B. Brewster, presided and through a change of program. necessita.ed by the early departure of Bishop Thomas F. Gar Tor of Tennessee. the first address was made by Bishop aGilor, who said in part:
 l feel that the war revealed one thing 10 us Americans that we hadn't thought of before as we have since and that is that we are ne people. and that in time of emergency the government at Washington has the right even to dictate to us about our food, to take over our railroads and to alter in many ways our way of ding things to bring about unity of effort. In it's corporate capacity it asserted the will of the whole people Of the United States
 We are trying today to assert the corporate will and responsibility of the Episcopal church. We are trying to get out of parochial and diocesan Limitations. Of the agencies that have contributed to make our people real ize that we are one church, thare is no agency comparable to that of the Woman's Auxiliary. It has been the Woman's Auxiliary that has always insisted that there was an extra parochial, extra diocesan obligation resting on the members of the church, and I believe that through it's mem bers the rest of us have awakened to our responsibility to the whole church.
 What impressed me at the Lam beth conference was the corporate unity of our communion, and the def1niteness of is principles.
 Bishops to the number of 25 as- sem bled there from all parts of the earth in order that those links that hold us together might not be worn too thin. I was afraid at the first meeting that we never would get to- geiher, but the last two weeks were a revelation and all lines of cleavage weref orgotten. On the last Friday in the committee on reunion all the bishops came together, men of all opinions. and not only did they all vote for the creed but voted to work for it and explain 1t to the people.

THE VANISHING FLY

Y THE COURSE of an investigation of water l front conditions in New York City in 1907, one of the Merchants Association commit tees discovered that swarms of house flies were crawling over the garbage-coated piles and sea walls carrying the germs of typhoid fever and |Other intestinal diseases into the swarnIng tene ments of lower Manhattan.
 After establishing the facts beyond doub the association backed the launching of a cam paign against the house fly. This soon becamt known the Swat the Fly campaign, and spread all over the world
 In order to find out what the results of the twelve year campaign have been letters were sent out by the committee to health authorities all over the nation. The replies being received show that the absence of flies in their usua numbers is being noted practically everywhere Most of the health officials who have replied to the inquiry give the .anti-fly campaign the lead ing place among the cases which have been kill ing off the flies
 In this connection it is worth while to recall the warning of Dr. Copeland of New York. that there is danger that the germs of the infectious diseases now raging abroad may be brought to these shores, and the statement of the commit tee: Every effort should be made at this season Of the year to kill all flies at sight as they now seek the shelter and warmth of the household to deposit their eggs so as to provide for the progeniture of next seasons crop"
 One fly killed now means billions less next summer"

ture of the pit:fu1ly inadequate facili- 'ies afforded the workers in the mis- sionary field in Porto Rico. MT Wal ter pointed out that the personnel sent from them ainland in so fuctuatins 0 because of the return of such 9 larpe proportion of the clergy to the United states before they have become really useful, duel argely to the deplorable nanolcaps under which they labor that fruitful fields for church exten- sion have been necessarily neglected.
 He stated that while more generous support of the missions in Porto Rico would bring forth a reward in many problem there is the stablishment Of a body of native clergy. In Mr w alters opinion the character of buildings in which services are held in Porto Rico is prejudicing the na- tlves themselves against the Episcopa1 Church, and to prove his point he said: 'Once in a while an intell:- gent native will come to, me and say
 What is your church?' I will tell him A daughter of the Anglican church. because they know som ething Of that, though they don't know the adherence between various denomina- tions. He will say The Anglican church doen't do business like your churches for the negroes at St Thomas, St Croix and in Jamaica. We have been judging you from your buildings They are disgrace. We and poorest Of the Protestant bodies in the United States. or if you are what you claim to be you are the ssingiest of them all.' That logic was perfectly good. and it made me inn measurably sad. That is not an ex- a'ggera tion. Take our St. PauPs church. by no means the poorest il. Porto Rico, and yet mere shack of a building.
 Inside there are folding camp chairs which frequently fold when they shouldn't. Sometimes we have to put two children one chair and when chair and children go down there is unannounced music.''
 MT. Walter also spoke briefly of the opportunities for missionary work in Santo Domingo, TOW an American protectorate, where most of the peo- pie who are not Roman Catholics are ago the Bishop of Jamaica had stated that there were 0,000 baptized An- glicans in Santo Domingo, and yet while a beginning was made three years ago no substantial progress has been made towards supplying churches there
 At the conclusion of the service it was announced that a circular letter would be sent out to every clergyman in the diocese appointing Friday, Nov 19. day of iItercessibn for the sue cess of the Nationwide Campaign, the churches to be open all day for prayer It will be suggested in the clrcu '-~ that a-,angements be made 10 have at least four persons present each hour of the day. and the further suggestion will be made that in each parish a committee be appointed to visit the sick and shut-ins and ask their prayers for the success of the Work on the day of intercession.
