FOCH IN MESSAGE
TO AMERICAN LEGION
ON ARMISTICE DAY
Declares Period Should Be
Made Sacred Throughout
Civilized World.

PITTSBURG. Nov. 1O.-Declaring
Armistice day should be made sa-
cred throughout the civilized world.
Marshal Foch here Thursday gave
out a message to the American Lee
gion "a message which he said ap-
piled to everyone who took part in
the world war or whose relatives
served in It.
1T is out Of sacrifice and suffer-
ing that the greatest things in life
grow" said the message. mo man
ever gave up part of himself in a
great cause but that his sacrifice
was rewarded a hundredfold in
moral and spiritual blessings.
"Our hearts pour out in sympathy
today to the mothers, wives. fathers.
sisters, brothers of those brave SOL
diers who made the supreme sacri-
flee in the world war. Our prayers
go up in unison for those men and
at the same time we worship their
memory. Armistice day. the 18th

the spirit of patriotism and bravery
shown by those who, fortunately.
escaped shot and shell.
"On this day let us think only
Of the great cause for which the

URGES FATHERS to-
BEWARE OF CHASM-
In "RAISING" SON
DR.. Barker Addresses 800
Fathers and 800 Sons at
Annual Banquet.

Side by side. in the closest sort OF
companionship, 300 fathers and 500
sons. dined together last night in the
big gymnasium of the Y. NJ. G. a.
1t was the seventh annual Faith
or and Son" banquet in South Bend
and II was pronounced the most sue
cessful of all.
DR.. Charles Z. Barker. prominent
physical director OF Grand Rapids.
Mich, was the speaker of the even
ing. After explaining to his audi
ence the origin Of the Father and
Son movement. he stressed the du-
ties which the ather owes to his
son.
Newton Baker, secretary of war
under Woodrow Wilson, Is the real
founder Of the Father and Son"
idea" said DR.. Barker have heard
him tell that he originated the move
ment because in his own life he felt
a chasm opening up between him
self and his boy. The fear that this
was general throughout the country
urged him to do so.
"ShOuId Not Exist"
THAT chasm should not exist. If
fathers kept closer watch over their
sons IL would not exist. The great
est danger in the United States to-
day is the fact that parents permit
their children TO grow up in their
own homes doing just about what
they please.
That brings US to the greatest
responsibility Of the father to his
son-the duty Of teaching his boy
TO obey. All the world is run by law.
The fathers word is the supreme
law Of the home. Fathers know
what is best for their boys boys
should obey them"
The speaker also drove home a
message on the proper manner in
which fathers should handle the
sex question. He urged early educa-
ton among the boys on this topic
and explained its necessity to the
welfare OF society.
Other speakers included Edward
Bierwagen, who delivered a toast
to the fathers, and Dan Pyle, who
read a toast to the sons. Bishop
John Hazen White was the toast
master and Rel. E. G. Johnson led
the invocation.
Songs and yells were other feat
ures Of the entertainments. Arrange
ments for the banquet were direct
ed by L. f. Goodwin, boys secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. c. A.
