Arnistice Day

Twenty years have passed since the
armistice of November II, 1918. Dur
Ing that period there has been no
peace worthy of the name. Instead
wars have followed upon the heels
of wars, revolutions have ragged, in
dustrial dislocation has created fam
Inc, political strife has been bitter,
class conflict has increased in viru-
lence and intensity, millions of people
have suffered, hundreds of thou
sands of innocent bystanders have
died, and the world has not yet
learned the lesson of the cruel futil-
ity Of force.
It would be folly, then, not to con-
cede that the struggle for democracy
which ended, theoretically, two dec
AIDES ago, was largely vain sacrifice.
The tyranny Of Kaiser Wilhelm of
Germany and his cousin, Nicholas II,
Car of all the Russias, has been
replaced by that of Hitler, Mussolini
and Stain. Liberalism in England
and America has made dangerous
concessions to adventurous and ex-
perimental radicalism. Tory reaction
everywhere is known by other names,
yet still resists the impulse for prog
ress which humanity normally feels.
Even the arts and the sciences have
been affected deleteriously by the
continued tension and turmoil. The
race, it seems, has developed habit
OF destruction which leaves nothing
unhurt, nothing uninjured.
But 1t would be a fatal error to
suppose that there is no hope for
mankind. The dread disease which
has ragged so consistently and so vio-
lently throughout the entire course
OF the past twenty years cannot be
permitted to destroy what now re-
mains Of civilization. Somehow, and
soon, there must be real armistice;
sanity must return, reason must be
allowed to intervene, armies and ma
vies-implemented as never before
with undreamed instruments of death
must be held in check, statesmen
must find ways and means to gain
their honorable ends by negotiation,
the masses must dictate equity and
Justice as principles applicable to all
alike, the will to peace must be cul-
tivated by individual men and wom-
en-; new-in fact the resurrection
of very old-ethical code must arise
from tortured hearts to free the earth
from chaos.
To this objective the veterans of
1914-1918 can contribute particular
dynamic. The Unknown Soldier at
Arlington, in Westminster Abbey or
under the Arc de Triomphe, speaks
with lips denied their rest:
II perished that my brothers son
Might know better fate
Than slaughter in battle never won
BY armed and regimented hate"

Mr.. Browder's PRESUMPTION

Nobody can object II Earl Browder
speaks for his Communist Party. He
Is its leader here In the United States
and is entitled to represent it as he
sees fit. But when he cables Joseph
Stain. dictator of Soviet Russia, in
the name of the whole population
Of the United States, it is time to
cry protest. AS printed in Pravda,
Moscow newspaper, his message read:
THE American people rejoice with
you in your victories, indicating the
way for realization of the ideals Of
justice, liberty and peace. After
Munich the American people realized
as never before that the invincible
country of socialism is the most ar
dent struggler for and most powerful
stronghold of peace, liberty and ma
tional independence"
OF course Mr.. Browder is presum-
Ing. The American people have not
delegated to him any right to speak
for them. Neither have the American
people changed their minds about
Bolshevism as a threat to democ-
racy. They know, incidentally, that
Russia failed to lift so much as one
finger to save Czechoslovakia at Mu-
mich, and they are familiar with
the fact that Stain has maintained
himself in Office by the legal murder
Of his rivals Hundreds of them. II
peace or liberty or national inde-
pendence are served by dictatorship,
the vast majority of the free men
and women of the United States are
deceived. 1t happens, however, that
1t is the Communist leader who is
mistaken. Especially, he is in gross
error when he undertakes to hatter
the Soviet czar in behalf of a demo-
cratic nation which both instinctive-
ly and considerably repudiates the
purpose and the methods of Moscow
tyranny.

strange fire which reminded the spec
tator Of what he had read in regard to
glow worms and the like.
Fifteen minutes, all told, then the
glory was gone.
The squirrels saw 1t, but did not under
stand. ''They were only one times one"
as the poet said.
Owing to the rather unusual weather
which distinguished October and the
hrst days Of November, the leaves did
not know exactly what to do. Their
knowing, Of course, is vegetable, purely,
but q knowing. just the same. They
respond through every fiber to the sea-
sonal changes. and these changes have
gone along for 50 many centuries in a
settled plan, more or less adhered to,
that the smallest leaf knows, in its very
veins, what 1t must do. There is nothing
else to call this except knowledge. It is
not our knowledge, Of course, but neither
is the squirrels knowledge our sort. We
watched one Of these short bodied
youngsters Of the squirrel tribes, as he
raced for tree at human approach. He
had instinct, as it is called, to warn him
against the approach Of human. He
had not been in the world more than
four months, but they were long enough
to warn him against creatures coming
at him on two legs instead of four. A
dog he might overlook, and even a cat,
but a human he fled from, as well he
might, taking into consideration the
history Of the race. The young squirrel,
in his actions, takes history into account
as well as II he had read it in a book.
The glory Of the naples was gone in
q few minutes.
The beauty remained, but not for long
Inside Of two days, 48 hours, no more
nor less, the beauty was gone, too.
The glow of the reds gave place to a
washed-out brick color. The yellows
turned almost gray.
And light wind, coming with an even
lighter rain, blew most of them down
overnight.
1t was a sad ome-down, indeed.

for sights such as these.
They are part of gardening. as much
so as shrubs, and perennials, trees and
bulbs.
Amateur gardening in small way has
very little meaning if it is confined
merely to its components. Professionals
do these things 30 much better!
1t is only when imagination is injected
that home gardening becomes what it
ought to be, an occupation in which the
best that one is has chance to come
into play.
Whether this best wins a prize or
attracts any attention whatever, is de-
cidedly beyond the point Perhaps it is
best If it doesn't but is simply enjoyed
in quiet, to become part of the mental
life.
The person who has these glories in
himself is immune, or, at least, ought to
be immune, to the shocks of the crude
everyday world.

An Empire Builder

Turkey and Europe mourn an en-
pire builder in the passing Of the
virile personality who within the
brief span Of fifteen years restored
the remnant of the old Ottoman
state, diminished and demoralized
by defeat in the World War, to the
status OF strong, modernized ma
ton. Kamal Ataturk, first and only
President of the republic of Turkey,
governed at Istanbul and Ankara
with an iron hand, but his dictator
ship was benevolent and construc-
tive one, measured in terms Of prog
ress and prosperity for people who
accepted his rule as that OF
national regenerator.
Finding nation, which had gam
bled with fate as an ally of Germany,
at the mercy of their victorious foes,
Ataturk, minor though able mill
tary officer in the war, rose rapidly
in power and influence after the
disastrous campaign. He led the
forces which expelled the Greeks
from Anatolia in 1922, became the
hero Of Smyrna, deposed the Sultan,
and took command Of the govern
ment. Within a few months Kamal
was sitting at Lausanne as master.
ful equal of the allies in a conference
which drastically revised the terms
imposed upon the Turks by the
treaty of Sevres and fixed the pres
ent boundaries of the country. They
restored to Turkey large sections of
the territory of which she had been
deprived by the postwar peace pact.
Ten years after Lausanne, in 1892,
the Turks were invited to join the
League Of Nations, and four years
later they successfully appealed to
the Lausanne treaty powers for au-
thority to remilitarize the Darda-
nelles and the Bosphorus, which the
defeated Ottoman Empire in 1919
was compelled to neutralize. These
successive achievements, for which
Ataturks firm statecraft was re-
sponsible. raised Turkey to the rank

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES 3. TRACEWELL.

Flared the maple leaves at $50 o'clock
that morning. presenting as brave and
beautiful q sight as any one ever saw.
No travelling was necessary, not even a
stepping from the back door, but simply
silent appreciation Of something won
derful.
1t was all the more satisfactory, per-
haps, because 80 few were up to see 1t.
Say what one will, there is q certain
longing in the human heart to have
something beautiful which the crowd
does not share.
And it is certain that there will never
be mob at such natural pictures as this.
depending upon the precise state of
change in the leaves still on the trees:
combined with an exact light seldom
seen at that time of day.
+
1t was luminous, greenish light, more
often noted after q summer thunder
shower.
Here 1t was again, defying time and
season. enveloping the grass, tinting the
glorious red leaves still on the naples.
Oaks and locusts 50 prevalent out our
way, long ago fell to clutter up the side
walks and roads.
Various naples held their leaves with
out dropping one until after that
morning.
The morning Of mornings, 1t was, for
the naples. Even the youngest trees
were clothed in glory, as the strange
quality of light touched them almost to
incandescenoe.
This show did not last more than IS
minutes.
One wondered how many garden dis
plays there are which last no longer, and
which, therefore, are missed by even the
most ardent lovers Of nature.
A sudden change in the wind, and
shrubs are ruined in the opposite direc-
ton, bringing an entire new landscaping.
Yet If the owner Is not there, at the
again, he will miss seeing his shrubs in
their new artistry.
Changes in a garden brought about by
waning light are among the most beauti-
full and interesting.
Their only peer are changes produced
by the increasing light, but in many
cases. such as this one involving the
naples, the change is quick, and the
beauty is soon gone.
The actual peak Of the maple display
probably did not last minutes.
1t was scarcely worth calling any one
to look. The increasing light took away
from the fragile appearance and intense
glow Of the colors.
The red and yellow leaves for brief
time seemed glowing with color The red
had pink in it, and the yellow had violet.

In few seconds the intensity of the
strange glow began to evaporate, as If it
had been sort of mist enveloping the
scene.
There was peculiarly fortunate group
Of young naples to the east, and the
increasing light Lit their edges with a

Neon Light Signs Conflict
With Traffic Signals.


For safety's sake something should be
done about neon signs on corners where
there are traf1c lights.
For instance, on the corner of Seventh
and S Streets NV, there is big neon
sign on a store directly behind the traffic
light, which is so nearly the same color
as the trafdc light that If you did not
know there was one on that corner you
would hardly notice it, and If you did
notice it you would not know whether it
was red or green until it was too late.
I am only trying to express the thoughts
Of thousands of motorists who are prob
ably thinking Of the same thing.
Iwould suggest that before issuing per-
mits for neon signs the authorities give
more consideration as to whether the
sign will interfere with the traffic light.

Says Armistice Day
Calls for Tolerance.


Again we celebrate Armistice Day. We
offer prayer in memory of the sacrifices
made by our departed brothers and
fathers. If on Armistice Day, that ghast-
ly array Of war-torn dead could assemble
with us and see democracies trembling
and intolerance. racial prejudices and
bigotry still ruling the minds of their
children, brothers, mothers and sisters,
would they not suffer spiritual pangs
keener than the painful thrusts of death?
The unknown soldier may be a Negro
or Jew. We worship at the shrine. But
have We dedicated ourselves to the task
Of making this world finer, better place
In which to live? Are we more tolerant
In living with minorities of creed or race?
We see Christian nations doing a most
horrible thing, that of depriving thou
sands of Jews Of homes and some chance
Of mundane happiness. Yet Christ was
Jew. We find the Czechs, on whom we
spent our sympathies, now "Nazi -i7ed, >
driving Jews out of their homes to for.
eign lands.
Right here in Washington we find un-
democratic, inhuman, humiIating dis
ordinations practiced In some instances
against members Of minority groups in
public policies and institutions by our
political servants.
While We are investigating and casti-
eating the "isms," Facism and Com
munism, we might devote the efforts of
a few commissions to the study of and
promotion Of humanism.
In the name Of our heroes who died
for the preservation of democracy, lei
us on this Armistice Day dedicate our
selves to the task Of making the Capital
Of the Nation place Of tolerant living
worthy of emulation by the nations be-
longing to Hitler, Mussolini and Stain

Principals Of Pathology

Second, T think, It should be ena-
phasized t.s..as tie processes Of dis
ease are act essentially different
from the processes Of health. In
many instances such a fine shadow
line exists that one is put to It to
say whether the process is physi-
illogical or pathological. The az
ton of the heart and Of the artef-
les, when high blood pressure Is
present, is just the same as In
health. The cells which are found
around a healing wound are just
the same as the cells in normal
blood. The only difference is a
slightly different arrangement. And
who shall say whether the process
Of healing wound is natural or
abnormal?
And, third, let us remember
again that most so-called disease
processes are defensive Very few
are primarily destructive. Il the
army of a fascist state were to in
wade our borders, and we saw
young men rushing to get into ulli-
form, marching through the
streets, piling into motor trucks on
the highways to move up toward
the point Of invasion, you would
not think Of 1t as destructive. Sc
if pneumonia occurs and you
could see the body converted into
a military state, you Wauld not
think the cells that rushed out
from the marrow and jammed the

at the p0illt-in the lungs-Were
destructive, but protective.
