ARMISTICE-Edna Kimpel

EARLY on the morning of November IL, 1918
newspapers flashed the following much well
coined news
'The World War will end this morning, at
six o'clock Washington time (eleven o'clock
Paris time)."
The scene of merriment which followed is
unmatchable. Flags were hoisted and were
soon floating in the gentle autumn breeze,
guns we're fired to spread the glad news, and
mothers visualized their sons returning from
brave and noble deed, little dreaming that
they themselves had been brave in giving their
sons in a time of peril and obstruction. For
when from over the ocean the nations called
for aid, our men cast aside all thoughts of
danger, and fearlessly grabbed the opportunity
to show what the Trust and Friendship of
other nations meant to America by putting on
soldiers uniform, crossing the ocean, enter
ing the forces of the allies, and spending many
long, weary days and nights, even months and
years OR foreign soil, fghting-not for per-
sonal gain - but for the common cause of
freedom for all humanity.
No wonder them when this proclamation
rang in the air, that everyone was happy; for
now the object that was fought for, was won;
our soldiers would return home to their own
beloved America, face friends and dear ones
once more, who would greet them with mar
tial honors. Now the task of upholding democ-
racy must be furthered. AS President Wilson
proclaimed to the American people on this
famous morning:
"My Fellow Countrymen: the armistice was
signed this morning. Everything for which
America fought has been accomplished. 1t will
now be our fortunate duty to assist by example
by sober friendly counsel, and by material aid
in establishment of just democracy throughout
the world"
