Two foes Of the platform laid
aside their barbed shafts Of political
argument today and joined as friends
and Army comrades in expressing

Of Indianapolis in the peace Of her
sixth Armistice day celebration.

meeting at Keith's Theater at noon.
Semi-Holiday Observed
The city observed the day as a
sem!-holiday City hall was closed
all day and the Statehouse and most
county Offices and courts this after
noon.
1T Is time for Americans to be
on guard against foes without and
within who seek to destroy the prin-
ciples Of the American Republic"
said DR. McCulloch. 1T is rather
for us 10 dedicate Armisrice day
not as a tine to pay tribute to our
war dead. bur to dedicate ourselves
10 the principles which they ad-
vanced.
AIl Depends on America
If the American republic fails.
then democratic government is lost
10 the world. There is no need 20
fear this as long as American cit-
zens. schools. churches and civic or
carnations are watching FOR any
encroachment on American prin-
ciples"
Armistice day should be n day in
which every citizen finds way 70
further American ideals and do It,
said Jackson.
Let us remember there is Just as
much opportunity to serve our coun-
Try in peace as in war by advancing
and holding to those principles FOR
which our boys died in France he
said.
Let US pick UP the torch which they
threw 70 US and carry on. We have
inherited the greatest wealth an1
the greatest form Of government of
any nation in the world due 10 the
heroic sacrifice Of our men"
