AYERS THE ARM|sT|CE:
SAVED WHITE RACE
pre.tou New. ser,Ice)

DALLAS, TEXAS, Nov. 26.-The
signing Of the armisItice probably
saved the white race from being so
weakened as to- lose it's supremacy
in the world to the yellow and black
races, declared DR.. Paul Harrington
Duff, speaking at the second of the
winter series of open nights Of the
Dallas knights of Columbus, in OBJ
s-rvance of Armistice Day and DR..
Duff's subject was "The Spirit of
Armistice Day"
RECALLS ARMISTICE AT FRONT.
DR.. Duff, the principal speaker Of
the evening, introduced his address
with a description of Armistice Day
/ at the front in 1918. He detailed
the activity of the men in the battery
with which he was serving, and por
trayed the pageantry of the celebra-
ton in the small villages Of the Toul
sector.
Stating that thankfulness was the
primary emotion associated with the
commemoration of the cessation of
Nhostilities, he pointed out some of
the reasons why the world gave
thanks that day. In this connection
he discussed the possibility that the
white races of the world would have
so weakened each other that the su-
premacy in world affairs could have
fal en into the hands Of the Orient
ais.
The thankfulness of the American
people associated with .Arnistice Day
was great enough, DR.. Duff asserted,
to justify the celebration of Armis-
tide Day as the national thanksgiving
day. He advocated the merging of
the two days of thanksgiving now
celebrated in November and the des-
ignation of the 18th as the day for
the offering of the thanks Of the
American people.
