Arnistice Day since we declared
war again on the enemies of
free world.
Last year at this time we were
hard pressed on all fronts. Now
we are on the offensive. 1t is some
times difficult for us at home to
realize the seriousness of what is
taking place across the seas At no
time can we become complacent
and feel that the war is won. 1t is
not won and won't be until every
one puts his utmost into the effort.
I'VE must continue our training
and strive for perfection in our I'm
it's. When we 60 overseas we must
all be ready to carry the fight to
the ultimate victory. Only in
this way can we pay our debt to
those we remember today"
Brigadier General Bryan L. Mil
burn, commandant AAA School -
Though the world hope for free
dom and peace after November IL,
1918, was not realized, it is well to
remember on this Arnnistice Day
that no fight for those ideals has
ever been in vain.
"A continual battle to attain per-
lection in the harmonious living of
the peoples of the world has been
waged since the beginning of his.
tory.
This perfection is not to be won
in a single ,skirmish. Every VIC
tory, great or small, brings us
closer to ultimate triumph.
To-day we must vow again that
not one yard won toward freedom
by those who have fought before
us shall be lost.
''On this Armistice Day, let us
believe again that permanent
peace can come to the world. and
rededicate ourselves to the task of
fighting to make it come to the
world" ,.
ION November II, 1918, Is years
ago the armistice was signed and
hostilities ceased. On Dec. 7, 1912
our enemies renewed hostilities, )"
said Comm. Westbrook in d brief
talk. I'VE are told as before that
when our enemies are vanquished
there will be 10 more wars. / say
to you that this is a fallacy, until
such time as the Nations of the
world became good neighbors,
there will be periodic uprisings in
various parts of the world So let
us have unity on the home front
and support our gallant troops
who are axing the Axis.

No Prospect
[Of Finn Peace

London, Dec. Z - {U.P0 - Pros
poets of an early usso-Finnish
separate peace faded today as the
Soviets warned Finland she must
assume full responsibility" with
Germany for the criminal shell
ing of Leningrad and President
Risto Ryti barred his country's I'M
conditional surrender.
The Russian warning came in a
Soviet information bureau state
ment which charged that the Ger
man and Finnish Invaders in the
last two or three weeks had in
creased markedly their artillery
bombardment of Leningrad'S resi-
Dental districts.
1T is known that there presently
are no military objectives in Len
ingrad and thus the obviously syS-
tematic Smelling has one aim-the
destruction of residential buildings
and monuments of culture and the
humiliation of peaceful popula-
tion," the bureau said.
The statement said that Finnish
officers instigated the bombardment
"as the Finnish government thinks
that If the German and Finnish
troops destroy Leningrad they will
be able to make the defense of the
city unnecessary"
THE Soviet people and the Red
Army have at their disposal forces
sufficient to assure the protection OF
Leningrad, not only for the pres
ent but for the future, to reduce to
naught the base intentions of the
German-Finnish invaders, and to
compel them to assume full respon-
Sibility for their crimes"
