AMERICAN LEGION
PLANS Ceremony
Commander Emery Wants
Every Citizen to Join No.
vember II Celebration.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 2S.--Posts
of the American Legion throughout
the United States are arranging for
celebrating the third anniversary of
ArmistiCe day. The national head
quarters of the legion here has re-
csived information from the posts and
from units of the women's auxiliary
which indicates that interest in the
proper observation of this new Amer
lean holiday is widespread.
Large public meetings are being
arranged in many communities and
more than a thousand legion posts
will stage symbolic pageants Plans
also have been completed for large
meetings in New York, San Francisco
and Chicago, at which the audiences.
by means of amplifiers used in con-
nection with ng-distance telephone
wires, will hear the addresses made
at the burial services in Washington
for an unknown soldier.
John q. Emery. national commander
Of the legion, yesterday issued the fol-
lowing statement to legionnaires re-
garding Armistice day celebrations:
AT IL o'clock the morning of
November II, 1918. an entire world,
weary and worn, bent under the dis
aster of the world war, knelt in thanks
to God. The guns ceased booming.
The roar of their firing no longer
smashed around the world in terrible
thunder. a new note was in the air,
high. clear and strong. a symphony
of joy. A new hope was in every
heart-a hope and a prayer that the
fighting Of nation against nation. of
people against people. had ended for
all time.
Three years have passed. We are
about to celebrate the third anniver-
sary of that occasion when, for the
last time, the runner dashed across
the field of death and carried to the
farthest outpost the order, Cease fir
ing" We want to go back in spirit
and thought TO that grand moment.
We want to recall. in full, the purpose
common to every one at that moment
to a. each his or her share to make inn
possible, ever again. such a disaster.
Let us do this In celebrations that will
include every American citizen.
We want to recall the thrill that
came to each of us, whether at the
front or at home, in the knowledge
that we had done our duty. We want
especially to turn aside from the rou-
tine of daily life and to remember the
sacrifices of those whose pride Is that
they gave of their dearest and best,
and of those among us. torn and Grip
pied. who gave of themselves. These
are our heroes-our living monuments
to American ideals. to American prin-
ciples, to American citizenship"
