ARMISTICE DAY AND PEACE


Once again the greater portion of the civilized world
pauses in pursuit of its daily tasks to the joy
knew II years ago today when the dogs of war were
sileneed after four terrible of carnage and
The JOY that November 11th recalls should be even
greater this year because of the steps that have
taken since last year toward world peace. Men who
were leaders opposite sides in the great World War
are now working in unison to bring to realization the
ideals for which this nation entered that struggethat
war might be outlawed amang civilized peoples.
None will lend greater effort to the promotion of
world peace than the and women who active

any professional pacfst the horror and utter futty
OF war Many who entered the titantic struggle
carefree youths, know what it cost them In the past
decade many of them have become fathers and mothers
They determined that their children shall not be
called upon to make the terrific sacrifice demand
ed of them.
This feeling prevails not only among those who We're
the winning side II years ago, but on the nations
arrayed against the Allies.
Recently we finished reading "Al Quiet On The
Western Front book written by German soldier
which has had tremendous sale throughout the world
1t has parallel in another story written by Amer
lean marine, God Have Mercy On U.s. the prize winner
in contest conducted by the American Legion to pro-
duce real war novel. There is great similarity in
the two books We feel certain that anyone who reads
them will have only loathing and hatred for war;
cept when fought solely in defense of invasion
equally good reason These writer's have stripped war
of its false grandeur and expose in its true light of
cruelty, bestiaty, suffering and sordidness.
The thousands of men who march in Armistice Day
parades throughout the nation today perhaps in mil
ltary formatlon and clad IN military uniforms not
to be cassed miltarists There are none more de-
sirous of peace. But at the time they not like
the professional pacifiss who carry the idea of peace
to the other extreme and would leave their nation de-
fenseless and impotent should crisis arise.
We guard our homes with locks and bars; we protect
our property with policemen and firemen; should
protect country with adequate army and navy
No nation has any just to fear that is threat

the progress that has been made in 1929 many of
those who march today may live to its accomplish

Those who striving today to lead the way, have
their coworkers that silent army of heroes whose lives
were crushed out by the jugernaut of war, and who
stand eternaly the worlds price for its fooshness
They shall not have died wholly in vain if the world

Bunty, and there was no snow
Though of course | know that, even
now, in some parts of our country
there is much snow and ice. But

"I'd throw snowballs at him." said
Bunty again.
"But, my DEAR" chuckled Uncle
Wiggily, "there are no snowballs."
"Oh, yes, begging your pardon,
Uncle Wiggily," said Bunty, "there
are snowballs in our school yard
now"
"Where, ?" asked the robbit, gentle
man. 81 can hardly believe it."
"Come on, III show you" said
Bunty. And she started out of the

lowed and so did the Lady Mouse

Gracious! 1t was just rs if school
was out.
Bunty led Uncle Wiggily to a cor.
ner of the yard and there, growing
in sheltered place, wher Jack Frost
had not yet found it, was a bush
with lot of little white globes on
in clusters. They were called snow,
balls and many of you have seen
them. Really they are seeds, but they
look just like tiny snowballs.
"There they are," said Bunty.
"I'd throw those snowballs at the
Bob Cat and bash him on the nose
and make him run away"
"Well, that surely would be Safe

WHITTIER, Calf, Nov. II. W.D
The sanctity of Armistice day was
to be violated here this afternoon
when the Occidental football team
meets Whittier College in south
crn conference game.
The game is expected to be one
of the hardest fought conference
games staged this year as both teams
are about even in strength. The de-
Gliding factor of the game will prob
ably be the Occidental line, which
so far has shown no great strength,
while the Whittier line is cxpcriene-
ed and husky.
If Occidental wins over Whittier
today it will be clear sailing for
them until the Pomona game later
in the season. Pomona defeated

GIVEN COAST IN
WEEKEND GAMES
St. Mary's Beats Santa
Clara In Little Big
Game.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11.W.6-
The performance of two of the sup
posedly "weak sisters" in the Pacific
coast conference against two of the
leading teams on Saturday, has
furnished the main topic of conver-
sation for football fans this week
end.
Montana, in eigh;>. .laee in the
conference. and with no victories to
her credit, scored three times against
the conference leaders, the unde-
featcd University of California. The
Golden Bears marched on to 53 to
IS win over the Grizzlcrs, but the
plccky playing of Montana, coupled
with sensational runs which served
20 make the game interesting
brought cheers for the losers.
Washington, trailing Montana in
.he conference race, and with team
that has been completely demoraliz-
cd all season because of iuterna,
strife and coaching troubles, made 4
desperate stand to regain its lost
prestige, and held Stanford to a q
TO 0 victory on muddy field.
The only other conference game
Saturday was the Washington State
Idaho affair, wen by the former to
the tune of Al to 7.
Non-eonferencc games Saturday
md yesterday furnished plenty of
thrills.
University cf Southern California
ran the Nevada Wolf Pack ragged
winning by &c to 0. The Olympic club,
San Francisco, showed its class by
defeating the plueky st. Ignatius
College team, 2S to 0.
Thirty five thousands persons saw
the "little big game" between St.
Hary's and Santa Clara, yesterday
at kezar stadium, San Francisco, in
which the former won a close q to
D victory. Rivalry between the two
schools is intense, and the game was
a thriller. St. Mary's was figured
to win on basis of past perform
ance, but Santa Clara fought them
every inch of the way. There was
no scoring until the fourth quarter,
when Mack Sennett threw pass to
"Spud" Toscani, that nctted 90
yards and the winning touchdown.
't. Mary's threatened throughout the
game, the pistol catching them on
he three yard line at the end Of the
lalf, but Santa Clara always manag-
ID to avert disaster until the last
quarter.
Bear Cubs Wins
Stanford Freshmen succumbed to
superior generalship of the Univer-
sity of California yearlings, & to 0,
in game that climaxcd the season
for the first year men.
Two games today in this vicinity
will furnish excitement.
The Army clashes with the Navy
at Berkeley stadium, or, mere pre-.
!tiseiy, West Coast Army meets the
San Diego Submarine Base in their
annual Armistice day classic. This
affair is quite a spectacle with
service bands, roofing sections,
stunts, and political dignitaries lend
ing their presence. Navy is figured
to win, for the first time in the
four years that the two teams have
clashed.
Santa Clara seeks revenge for the
defeat of her varsity, by sending
out her freshman team big favorites
over the st. Mary's babys. 1t will
be played at kezar, San Francisco.
The conference race is drawing to
4 close, with California an odds on
favorite. although no cinch, to get
first place honors
