ON THIS ARMISTCE DAY

Latest indications are that the radical tide in
Europe is fast ebbing. The great coal and trans
portation strike that was to have forced Great
Britain into economic bankruptcy was settled
without serious interruption of business. When
it came to a showdown the working classes of
Great Britain themselves revolted against an at
tempt to overthrow constitutional government.
They gained a closeup view of what general
strike would mean and they discovered that their
own families would be the first to suffer Boil
shevism has won no more victories on the Thames
than on the Potomac.
France is recovering from her war wounds
more rapidly than we dared to hope on the first
Armistice Day. Her factories are operating her
fields are well titled; her commerce is even
greater than before the war; her colonies are en-
Iiching themselves at an amazing rate, and her
citizens have returned TO the habits of thrift and
economy for which the French working classes
are proverbial.
Germany is in a better condition. politically and
economically, than on the first Armistice Day.
Her military oligarchy has been overthrown He.
government is now representative in form; and
while she faces an enormous public debt, she has
set forward resolutely to pay her way out On
the first day of this month Germany delivered
to the Allied Council sixty billion marks of gold
bearing bonds as an evidence of her intention to
her treaty obligations. The German
people have accepted the inevitable, They have
rejected radicalism and are supporting their
constitutional government
Italy has apparently passed through her period
of dalyng with radcalism and sovietism The
Italian workmen seem to have abandoned their
project of Selling and running the factories of
that country, after brief experiment in which
they discovered that, while they could run the
factories, they could not finance them and make
them profitable. They have returned to the sys-
tenn under which they are assured of a full pay
envelope every week
During the three years that have elapsed since
the first Armistice Day, many radical expert
lnehts have been tried and proven worthless and
there is evidenced worldwide desire to cease ex-
with fads and distractions; to quit
looking at the stars through telescopes and to
turn to the practical things at hand. The World
War evolved no system by which people can live
without working and saving and the people
themselves have become fully convinced Of that
fact
The anniversary Of Armistce Day will dawn
brightly this year because it will rise upon
world in which great majority of the people are
content to work and save just as their fathers
nave done for generations; in which a great
majority of the people have discovered that there
S nothing to be won by fighting their neghbors
nothing to be gained by destroying the present
accumulation Of wealth-nothing to be won ex
ept by the continued use of brain or Drawn.

Many Of the stores of Columbus
have given notice that they will be
closed from ten O'Clock until noon
next Friday in order that proprietors
and salespeople may attend the Mem
orial Service to be held at the First

1t is right and fitting that the tri-
butte of love and respect be shown the
young men who offered themselves o
living sacrifice on the altar of their
country. The patriotism Of people

to those who have fought for the
preservation of its rights and liber

the country.
The Memorial Service that is to be
held at the First Methodist Church is
to be presented under the auspices of

We Shall Not Sleep.
In Flanders field
the poppies blow
Between the Crosses,
row on row,
That mark our place;
and in the sky
The larls still bravely
singing fly,
Scarce heard amidst
the guns below
We are the dead.
Short days ago we lived,
felt dawn,
saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved,
and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel
with the foe,
To you from falling hands
we throw the Torch
BE yours to hold it high;
If ye break faith
with US who die,
We shall not sleep,
In Flanders fields.
Americas Answer.
Rest We in peace, ye Flanders dead;
The fight that We so bravely led
We've taken up. And we will keep
True faith with you who lie asleep
With each a cross to mark his bed,
And poppies blowing overhead,
Where once his own lifeblood ran red;
SO let your rest be sweet and deep
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that ye have died for naught,
The torch ye threw to Us we caught;
Ten million hands will hold it high.
And Freedoms light shall never die! .
We've learned the lesson that ye
taught
In Flanders fields.
