The day marked th«# retirement from active serv* ice of Gen. John J.

Probably not less than twenty mil lion people listened in when General Pershing's thanks for the loyal co-operntlon of his fellow citizens was broadcast to the people. ... Forty thousand members of the - American Legion met In their sixth convention, staged an impressive parade, and declared for a program of stalwart Americanism. When will the Legion enter politics?

Armistice Day, IJ2.&, Holds Promise far Future By JOHN DICKINSON 8HERMAN RMISTICE DAY, 1924--six years after that blessed night when thfli; doughboys In the trenches on the firing line built fires in the opeit and slept under the stars, undis* - turbed by the whine of shell of airplane's drone. And now for the first time In all those six yean a promise of order from out the chaos following the greatest war of all history 1 Also .1924 brings to Its close a stupendous decade. Ten years _ ago the German empire towered a new colossusover the world. Now the imperial German empire is in the dust. Her mighty army Is gone. Her navy Is deep in Scapa Flow. Her kaiser Is a private citizen, hiding in exile. Her money is waste paper. France, with Alsace and Lorrain£ her own again, keeps the watch on the Khini- Where was a government of the mailed fist and "Verboten" Is now a socialistic republic, striving to preserve its nationality, with a mortgaged future-- and an American holding Its purse strings!. Austro-Hungary, dismembered, is now nond«K' script petty states, bankrupt and struggling foir existence, the haughty Hapsburgs--where? Ru% . sla's murdered czar lies in an unlionored gravft, His vast empire, fallen to pieces, is a communis* tic hell on earth and a menace to all civilization. Italy, In the grip of a dictator, is emerging from communistic chaos. France, the military power of the hour, has made new alliances and is relue» - tant to loosen her clutch. England, proud "Mis* tress of ffte Seas," mother of mighty dominions, who sat secure on her island throne, experiments with a Socialistic government, her mighty empire a federation of commonwealths that may brea^ Arou&fffSzrAoasuto&r!S<£stAv?

Classes have been wiped out, wtaltH scattered, old barriers thrown down and new ones raised up. New problems arise as old ones are solved. America, in comparison with all thia, Is a heaven upon earth. Rich, powerful and secure, we are the envied of nil mankind. None gainsays out--__ prestige. Our favor Is eagerly sought. To aid l| , , .j^our responsibility. To aid without foreign en» tanglement is our problem. We have no urge for conquest, no desire for domination. Our wish la for independence and peace. Europe, In the six years, has gradually come to believe and accept our attitude as sincere and unalterable. It has ceased to fear us as an aggressor nation. It has come to learn that we will not give foolishly and that we look for payment of debts. At last it appears to have made up Its mind that it must work out its own salvation. In any event, Germany, the festering sore of all Europe, is about tv be cleansed by the application ® of American methods, with legitimate American aid. War is in a fair way to be outlawed and arbitration set in its place by the nations. There is prospect of still further limitation of armaments.. The tide seems to have turned from madness to. sanity. England and France have set an example of conciliation and agreement. Science hastens the work by warning all mankind that another World war will mean not merely the extinction ofr* armies but of peoples. There is fighting, to be sure. In China and the Caucasus and in Morocco and in Arabia, but there is not necessarily world danger in any of It. And there Is display of war spirit by Japan, angered by exclusion of her nationals from America and Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, A flash of color beneath the sky; Hats off! The Flag Is passing by. Btue and white and crimson It shlnea Over the steel-tlpped, ordered line*. Hats off! The Colors before TIS But more than the Flag Is passing by. Sea-fights and land-fights, grim and great, Fought to make and to save the State; Weary marches and sinking ships; Cheers of victory on dying lips; Days of plenty and years of peace; March of a strong land's swift Increase; Equal Justice, right and law; Stately honor and reverent awe; Sign of a nation, great and strong. To ward her people from foreign wrong; Pride and glory and honor--all IJve In the Colors to stand or fall. . / Other countries. But all the world has known of Japan's attitude toward the white races. Her formal declaration does no harm, since it will l>e many a year before she can get herself ready to fight. But unless England stands by her dominions and commonwealths against Japan, she may lose them. And there may be a new "Monroe Doctrine of the Pacific." Armistice day--how shall It be celebrated here Hi America? It Is too soon to say, for It Is a national holiday In the making and the history that shall give its final form is still in the making. Armistice flay can come to Its own in America otily after the World war's aftermath shall have established its true significance to America. Even the guns In the national salute. I.incs of the people along the curbs, the great steps of the State, War and Navy building packed solid ; crowds about a tall and slender granite shaft. It was the First division. A. E. F., unveiling a memorial in honor of its 5,.r»8G World war dead. This First division--six years after and In peace times--was a composite Regiment of Infantry gathered from the regular army posts for the occasion. In the ranks was many a veteran. And with the veterans marched men no longer In the army, whose proudest boast is that they served "with the old First In France." But the massed battle Flags, under escort of honor, were the same old Flags that were lirst unfurled "Over There." The guns that gave the national salute were the guns of Battery C. Sixth artillery, that fired the first American shots. At the head of the First division were MaJ. Gen. Charles P. Sutumersal and Brig. Gen. Frank Parker, old-time commanders. On the official stand were members of the cabinet, high officers of the army, navy and marine corps and President Coolldge. And what of the spirit of the day? There is no hint of sorrow In the fashioning of a soldier tribute to fallen comrades. It Is raised In calm acceptance of that code which bids free Americans hold their lives not too great price to pay that their countrymen down the years liiay live always as free and liberty-loving sons of the Flag. There a graphic portrayal of that code in the pose of the winged figure of vlettfry that tops that slender granite shaft of the memorial. It stands with the bronze wrought folds of the Flag for which these gallant dead fell, swept aloft In the lifted right hand. It is poised as though to step forward ' again in a moment, forward toward the great vision of high destiny that shines before the lifted, exalted gaze. And as It pauses, here above the fallen, the left hand is spread downward in proud benediction as though the winged figure would say to those whose nanu s nr • •• low: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." And President Coolldge, commander In chief of nil "Fighting Yanks," turned his face to;the monument and said: "This monument commemorates no man who won anything by the war. It ministers to no aspiration for place or power. But it challenges attention to the cost, suffering and sacrifice that may be demanded of any generation, so long as nations permit a resort to war to settle their disputes. It Is a symbol of .wful tragedy, of unending sorrow, and of stern warning. Relieved of all attendant considerations, the final lesson which it Imparts Is the blessing of peace, the supreme blessing of peace with honor." Armistice day of 1924 will be observed from coast to coast much as it was a year ago. Citizens will stop for two minutes of sileifre, face East and renew tlieir vows of loyalty. An epitome of the nation's observance will be the services in Arlington nt the tomb of the "Urtknown Dead." Largely in spirit Armistice day will be a glorification of the "Fighting Yank " In this there is nothing to offend the intelligent lover of peace. In this there is everything to commend Itself to the good American. For the true significance of the nation's shrine In Arlington is that it is the outward and visible sign of the inward and spiritual grace that makes the patriot the foundation and the salviition of the nation. So here's to the "Fighting Yank!" For "Fighting Yanks" are all good Americans who give their best when their country calls--whether to food conservation. Red Cross work, training camp, aviation field and convoy duty, or to the great adventure of the firing line where death and glory vie. Here's to them all! Writer Master of the Vituperative Art The use of vituperative language Is almost an art in Itself. Many of the old-time |>oliticians excelled In biting descriptions of an opponent or an opponent's policies. But today politicians are less abuslve..generally preferring arguments to adjectives. It is seldom, too, that one runs icross a newspaper editorial which tay be said to burn up the language a a ntcent isMe of the London Daily Mall, however, D. B. Wyndham Lewis, who Is given the title of humorist by some literary critics, let himself go. He was writing about what he found good to read when it rains in the country,' but his description of what he does not read seems to constitute the strongest array of adjectives and real vituperation noticed for some time. Here is the paragraph: "As lor Freudian, namby-pamby. Introspective, dirty, sniveling, complex-ridden, wiredrawn, decomi»osing, O-how-daring, pasty, thin-blooded, cleverish. peevish, mingle-mangle stuff jhey print nowadays. I would not throw it at a Higher Thoughtist, let alone give it. to a Christian." • World*» Oldest Umbrella The oldest umbrella in the world still in the same condition as when it was bought, including the cover, it in sickly, neurotic, the possession of a resident of Bobart in Tasmania.
