conducted this morning.
At l0:45 o'clock at the corner
Of Duval and Fleming streets,
Battery "E", U. S. Coast Artil-
lery, under command of Captain
w. L. Johnson, assembled at the
location with color guard and de-
tachment from Arthur Sawyer
Post, American Legion, and
heard Captain Arthur Sheppard
deliver the Armisticc Day adj
dress.
The captain said, in part:
War breeds contempt for soft
ness. II reduces the greatest ex-
trcmcs in human life. 1t brings
men TO sanity, yet drives them
mad. II reveals them magnifi-
cent in sacrifice, and revolving in
brutality. 1t is sacrament and
SHAMELESS. There was a half
truth in that doctrine of the prop
hets of war, for war does breed
splendid and essential virtues.
''But it breeds them at too ter
TiiSle d cost. Peace Gust breed
IN us the same virtues without
that cost. Martial virtues, said
great speaker before the war, In,
trepidity, contempt, of softness,
surrender of private interests
and obedience to command, must
till remain the rocks on which
states are built. The martial type
of character can be bred without
war.
The courage of war left all
the world at once proud and
humbled, at once shamed and in
spired. II is for US to convert
this martial courage into civil
courage. We must convince our
selves that we can be as brave at
home as under fire. We must
recognize that it is civic courage
which is higher, rarer, more diff
ficult. more needed. We must
honor the courage of every day,
the valor of clean, uncompromis-
ing lives. lived in common honor
and devotion.
Adventure need not disappear
with war. There are always
quests 10 challenge. The new
romance will be the turning of
the Sums of the world into a
paradise. f $50 Na,lff4s
1t is then FOR us TO learn the
valor that endures in peace as
well as war. to know that the
present needs our courage and
our might: behold in every hand
new foes to fight. And grim
primcval wrongs that war with
right Though gun be spiked and
shcathcd the blood-dyed sword,
forever sounds the bugle of the
Lord -"
The speech of Captain Shep-
pard was followed by silent in
tCrvaI of 80 seconds, then the
sound Of taps by the hugler of
the American Legion.
This was followed by the sound
INK of whistles, from places in the

Gus sound of happiness to hearts
