ARM1sr1cE DAY.
1915.

1918.
Upon the bloody fields of France
Columbia's soldiers stand;
The smoke of battle fills the air,
And ruin marks the land.
Machine guns rattle on the hill,
Shells burst with blasting breath,
With shouts our boys go over the top
To victory or to death.
And yonder in the Argonne wood
Some got their first baptism of blood.
blood.
The Hun is driven from sheltering
trees,
From hilltop and ravine;
Before the bayonet's charge he fees,
And leaves each hot machine.
Flushed with the fight the Yankee
boys
Pursue the fleeing bands,
And many Hun cries "kamerad,"
And lifts his trembling hands.
Alas, how many a soldier lies
All cold in death meath Flanders
skies.
In Chateau Thierry's stubborn fight
They pressen the weakening foe.
He could not stem the onward flight,
Or turn the heavy blow.
He learned to fear the Yankee charge
With bayonet flashing bright,
And Heine proved himself to be
Best in a running fight.
Advancing was the Yanks one thOt,
How to retreat he'd not been taught.
ST. Mihiel's salient could not hold
Against the charges fierce;
The Yankees and their Allies bold
Back through the trenches pierce
This was the bloody field that showed
| Our soldiers at their best;
Over the enemy they rolled
And gave the foe no rest.
But Victory takes it's deadly toll.
And this field has it's honor roll.
And on the Somme and the Marine,
At scissors and Champagne,
The Yankees showed their fighting
blood,
The Germans fought in vain.
On every front the Allies won,
The foe they sorely pressed,
Despair had gripped the Wanting
Hun,
The armistice tells the rest.
But dear the price they had to pay.
For peace on that first Armistice Day
1922.
Four years have passed; where ar
mics fought
Hate holds the sullen hearts o
men.
Has war no bitter lesson taught?
: Will peace come not to earth again
The Russ, the Pole, the Greek, thu
Turk,
Their ancient hatreds will not yield
J And Mars still does his bloody worl
J On many a fair but suffering field
: And yet autocracy is dead.

Is always waiting at their gate,
That bloody wars will only cease
When friendship takes the place O
hate.

We know they did not die in vain,
Those who in distant graves are
laid,
The world will somehow, sometime,
gain
From the great sacrifice they made.
And while we grateful tribute give
To dead heroes this Armistice Day.
Shall those who nobly served, but live
Get only empty thanks in pay?

WEDNESDAY,. NOVEMBER Is, 1922.
An OyER-,TANNED INDUSTRY.

The November bulletin of the Ma
tional City bank of New York, comment
ing on the coal industry investigation,
pertinently says:
1T does not require a government
commission to find out that
of coal cannot afford to pay full an
nual wages to miners for working only
200 days a wear. Its finding, no doubt,
viii be Of value, but we know already
that unless a great deal more coal is
needed, a large working force should be
transferred out of the bituminous coal
industry. as a means of correcting the
irregularity of employment, and wages
readjusted accordingly"
This is mere common sense. which
doubtless will be duly reflected in the
report of the able commission appointed
by the President. 1t Will be unfor-
tunate. however. if elimination of the
fundamental evil of the coal industry
has to wait upon a deliberate federal in
quiry and still more deliberate congress-
iOnal action to follow.
The simple fact is that coal mining
suffers from too many miners. The min
ers are paid well for the time they work,
but do not work enough days in the year
to make a decent living. If about 100,-
600 of them should enter other indus
tries. the labor situation in the mining
industry might s%traighten itself out.
Fortunately such a transfer may hap
pen automatically, in some degree at
least, because of the growing shortage of
labor and demand for men in other i'm
portant industries.

CANCER WEEK.

November Is saw the opening of Ma
tional Cancer week. This week is to be
devoted to calling public attention to the
menace of cancer and the hope of pre-
vention and cure if steps are taken in
time.
The campaigns for awakening the ma
ton with regard to tuberculosis have
reduced this disease to a minimum in
many localities and brought it well I'M
der control all over the country. The
same activity should ~be used in stamp
ing out cancer.
More people die of cancer in the
United States every year than the total
of Americans who were killed, or died
of wounds or disease, in the World war.
A majority of these deaths could be pre-
vented.
There should be in every community
full opportunity for people to familiar
ize themselves with the facts about this
disease. Those who are deeply inter-
ested have urged that public health au-
thorities and the medical and surgical
fraternities encourage the public to give
especial attention to the subject. They
urge also that the public shall respond
by seeking information.
