Armistice Day

Despite the fact that 15 years have passed since the ending of that greatest of all human tragedies, the world war, the effects are still felt everywhere and unrest is as widespread as it was before that great strug- gle.
 In spite of the efforts which have been made since 1918 in the interest of peace, the out look for the future is not re- assuring. The needs and as- pirations of the nations are still unsatisfied, and the desires and aims of one nation cannot be met without encroachment upon its neighbors.
 Just now a striking example of these unsatisfied ambitions is seen in Manchuria and Mon- golia, where the conflicting interests of China, Japan and Russia threaten the peace of not only those nations but of a large part of the world.
 While less acute for the mo- ment, the racial and economic antagonisms among European nations are pregnant with pos abilities of disaster at any hour and the political atmosphere is electric with distrust and ap- prehension.
 In view of these conditions Armistice Day this year should remind all peoples of the hor- TOTS of the last war, and cause them to pause before taking any aggressive step which might precipate another such devastating struggle.

 But dear sir or madam am without Red Cross help or any at all and my pants and socks is all worn out and so is the Missis, who is only bone and handful of hair as feller said but she needs socks two. And some dish wipe cloths two. be- cause the sacks she been using was eat up by the Irishers goat next door. And the Irisher say we can go to hell for our sacks and so come to you.
 The children also need some socks two and the shoe they got is all gone in the middle and they was two big ennyhow But thank you just the same.
 I get little work at gas house now and we get something to eat now but cannot buy socks and pants two.
 If damd Depression don't stop pretty soon i must go without pants if you don't send me some for myself and Missis.
 So pleas dear sir or madam if you got nothing to spare send us some.
