those WHO open it. The cost of the
memorial will be paid out of an I'M

care of this expense.
Bronze Statuary
On this granite base above the in
scription THE State of Maine to Her
Sailors and Soldiers" there Is to be
a massive granite panel 10 feet wide
by nine feet high. On this panel will
be erected a bronze statuary tablet,
II feet wide by eight feet high, which
will forcefully portray the spirit of
service. and the sacrifice and waste
of war. This will be completed in
the spring of 1925 and at that time
will be fastened to the panel without
further ceremony.
Armistiee Day One of Peace
Armistice Day by it's name denotes
peace: 1t Is not set apart as an oc-
casion for the Qualification of war
but for the commemoration Of the
day when fighting stopped and peace
reigned. Shall any of us ever forget
the sigh of relief that went up the
world over when in the early morn
ing of that first November IL, the
news came that truce had been
signed and the war ended. On that
Gay people were overcome by a con-
fiict of emotions. Some went wild
with delight and lost control of them
selves in joyous outbreaks Others,
more thoughtful. fell upon their knees
and thanked God for the relief that at
last had come, and prayed that war
never again might visit the earth.

To Service and Sacrifice
In dedicating this memorial to the
sons Of Maine, We dedicate It to their
services and to their sacrifices, to
their unselfishness and to their 10y

the war system that called for and
required them. We are resolved TO
do all within our power to prevent
wars repetition.
