We are approaching another anni« | versary of Armistice Day and the | memories with which that day is as- | sociated, and the event which it's ob- | servance commemorates will again {be brought before us. Three years | ago We gave expression in noisy de- { monstrations of joy to the relief we | felt when the news was received that | War was over and that peace and vic. {tory bad finally rested with our jarms. That spontaneous outburst {of rejoicing was both natural and | proper but with each successive annie { versary of the day there has been a | growing feeling that on this day | there should be some tangible expres. | ston of the reverence in our hearts | for. the memory of the men whose | sacrifice made peace and victory pos- sible, | The French Children's League |bave, In certain parts of France, on Armistice Day, strewn the graves of the fallen with the popies which grow in wild profusion there, and out of | this has grown the movement to | make the poppies the national flower of remembrance among their AMNics. This Children's League, which fs §o| charged with the care of many hous- ands of war orphans, raise funds for thelr most worthy cause by having the children make silk replicas of the flowers #0 colsely associated with Tiawiury Fields for sale on Armis- Day. Last year every patriotic American citizen wore ¢his red emblem in memory of thesr undying dead. This Year tho movement has spread to Canada and sentiment is even sirong- or here to honor in this wily the Wemory of our sacred dead. The 857 bocal branches ofthe G.W.V_.A, are acting as distributors of these pop- Dies from France, and from coas: to * | Coast every citizen will be asked and given the opportunity to wear this In Memoriam emblem on Armistice Day. The flowers will be sold on tha Streets mext Saturday and the pro- ceeds used for relief work locaily and {n France, so that there is a philan~ thropic as well as patriotic appeal. The etty council, and every other or- ganmjzation 'which has been approach- | ed, has expressed hearty, sympathetic approval of the movement. The most priceless treasure of a nation is the memory of the men who {bave died for it; let us mo: break faith with those who fell but cherish in perpetuity their sacred memory, Wear a Poppy. etme sien A LINE-FENCE SQUABBLE. The resignation of the Wirth cabi- net over the League's solution of tne Upper Silesian difficulty raises the Question, How did this Silesian roy begin? Upper Silesia is a highly developed mining and manufacturing diftrict, a sort of Massachusetts and Pennsyl- vania in ome. It has belonged to Germany for at least two hundred Years, and owes {ts development to German initiative and capital, But when Poland was being reconstituted | she claimed it on the score of na- | tionality, a majority of the miners and factory hands being Polish. France backed Poland's claim. Brit- ain objected to it strenuously, fear- ing the creation of another Alsace- Lotraine, Finally the Peace Confer- ence decided on a plebiscite. In due course this was held, and went strongly in favor of Germany. Had it gone the other way, Poland would unquestionably have been handed the whole territory. But now, the word- ing of the treaty was discovered to be ambiguous. Poland demanded ail the townships which had gone Pol- ish, and a Polish general, Korfanty, with a rabble at his heels--*thig ambiguous general with his troops of uncertain allegiance," as Balfour termed him--seized al] the territory he could. Italian police troops who resisted them were shot down. Then German jrregulars armed to eject the Poles. But France stood ready to seize the Ruhr district along the Rhine it the Germans lifted a hand in Silesia, Everybody was absolute- ly turious with everyone else. Then a small British force under General Heneker--said to be an R. M. C. graduate--pushed back the Polish ~ irregulars, while French troops did the same with the Ger- mans until the opposing forces could do little but make faces at each other across a wide, neutral zone, The Supreme Council met and, in despair, passed the problem on to the League of Nations, whose award has been recently announced. Ger- many and Poland each get a slice, but the entire territory is administer. ed by a commission consisting of a Pole, a German and a neutra]. Here, thanks to 'the League, the chapter ends--we hope. richly deserved to be commemorated in future days : On, Thursday next, Nov. 11th, from 11 am. to 11:02 am., the British Empire will observe this anniversary I memory, proud and imperishable, of its brave and gallant sons who fell in the great conflict. That small re- compense, that meagre duty, we at least owe to those who surrendered their all that we might continue to live in peace and security. Two min- utes of immobility, of perfect eil- 'ence, of cessation from all activity, are asked of us. It is little compared with whet they gave. Let us observé it, "like English gentlemen." Kingstonians are asked to do their part. Not in any carefree, hay- hazard way, but loyally, thoroughly and completely. When the hour of eleven strikes, every activity in this city should automatically cease; every wheel of industry should cease to turn; every vehicle, whether motor or horse driven, should stop where dt is; every citizen should stand at attention, whether in his home, his place of business or on the streets. Those whose firesides are sadly proud of 'one vacant chair need no admonition from us as to their duty; it #8 to them not a duty but a privilege to thus honor their | heroic dead. But among us are some | who may perchance be careless and {forgetful, because shey have not been so closely touched by the effects of the war. They are none the less loyal on the that account, and we are confident that they will gladly join in the movement to observe the two minutes after. 11 a.m. on Thursday next as minutes sacred to the mem- ory of every Canadian lad who laid down his life on far away fields in order that the mighty Empire to which he swore allegiance might sur- vive... In some small--some pitifully small--way we may pay our tribute of grateful remembrance to him by faithfully observing two minutes of silence on Thursday next. WORDS OF WISDOM. Admiral Lord Beatty, the hero of the British Navy, has always been looked upon as a map of few words but of mighty deeds. His whole life has been one of action, and in action he found greatness during the war. Whatever words of his have come down to history have been in the form of brief and pointed epigrams, and he has never been looked upon 2s a man of the diplomatic type. Rather has he been one of the British bulldog type who have for so many generations ruled the seas for Brit- ain by sheer force of their power, and their ability to transmit their power into action, But Beatty has shown that, when occasion arises, he has in him the makings of a diplomat of the first water. Amongst the many receptions accorded him on his arrival in the United States was one given by the Pilgrim Society, and at a dinner ten- dered by them in his honour he, in referring to the coming conference at Washington, made a Wworth-while contribution to the efforts which have been made to bring about a spirit of co-operation and real friend- liness between Great Britain and the United States. In his speech he stat- ed that much of the success of this momentous conference will depend upon the maintenance and increase of the good feeling and ' friendship between the nations, and the preser- vation and the growth of that good feeling which he believed tobe neces- sary, and which can only be brought about by the 'closest intercourse be- tween the United States and Great Britain in every form of activity." Admiral Beatty knows whereof he speaks. He has himself observed what could be accomplished by close co-operation between the two. great nations, for he was commander-in- chief of their combined pavies during the most critica] period of the Great War, and he pleaded for the support of anything that will renew "that close friendship which was our Strength during the Great War." ! Perhaps the most striking sugges- tion put forth by the gallant admiral during his speech was that of the part which might be taken by the veterans of both nations in cement- ing the bonds of unity between them, Admiral Beatty was on his way to attend a convention of the American Legion at Ka City, a body of veterans of the war. His Invitation to attend that convention had been w endorsed by the United States government and by the British War Office. In reference to 'this in- vitation, he said, "I tell you this to indicate the importance which the governments of both countries attach to the work of the Legion in promot- ing the good feeling between us, Which we so earnestly desire, The governments of both countries extend their blessing and good will to this great power for uniting the world in peace, a union based on the suf- forings and sacrifices of a world torn four and a half years of war."

With the common bond | of sacrifice and service uniting them, | there fs great work for them to do i in maintaining the most friendly re- | lations between the great English- | speaking nations of the world, It is & matter for regret that Admiral | Beatty was not able to accept the in- vitation of the G.W.V.A. to address | their convention at Port Arthur, and to deliver the same message there, for it 1s one which is worth heeding. But although not delivered in Can- ada, his message has a significance for our own people and our own veterans which should not be disre- garded, but should be the basis of their efforts towards ensuring a world at peace in the years to come. | THE STORM. { It is a dark and stormy night, the winds around my dwelling roar, and; 4s my trusty lyre I smite, the rain is beating at the door; the rain is pelting at the door, and owing to that circumstance my nephew's head is passing sore--the storm has kept him from a dance.
