FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1919 An International Holiday For two years we have lived in the midst of great events. Almost every day has brought news of something monumental in the development of the world. We have had thrills, and thrills, and yet more thrills, until we had almost ceased to respond to any stimulus. Even today, after nearly seven months since hostilities ceased, history is being made in large bits every day. The fate of peoples is be- ing decided and the character of the world of the future is being settled in very important ways. The great nations of the world have been, still are, indeed, associated in the greatest event of history. They have fought and crushed the force that threatened to destroy our free- dom and to strangle the development of democracy. Now they are striving together to evolve a disposition of the people who have been released from oppression that will ensure the greatest possible degree of oppor- tunity for the individual man.

The following resolution was pre- sented and unanimously adopted at the Annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Association of North Shore Municipalities held at the City Hall, Highland Park, Friday, evening, May 23, 1919. WHEREAS: the Board of Directors tion of the North Shore Muni- cipalities has been directod to the mecessity of a suitable highway along the north shore between the Great Lake naval training station and Chi- cago and, WHEREAS: the completion of such suitable highway which will re- lieve Sheridan road and the road through the center of the Fort Sher- idan reservation of a large percent- age of traffic depends upon the ac- quiring of easement from the United States government, covering certain land on the western boundary on the north end of said reservation, be it therefore RESOLVED: that the Association of North Shore Municipalities by its!

Some day should be designated to be observed | by.all the allied countries as an in-| ternational holiday, a day held sacred | to the men who have died in the great cause of all the nations, a war which has brought a new ideal of | social justice to all the nations, an| event that has ushered in a new era of international relationship. There are many dates that might be chosen, many significant occasions that hold equal importance to all, the peoples concerned. It might be armistice day. It might be the day on which peace is signed. It might be the day upon which America recognized the cause of the countries of Europe as her cause and elected to throw the mighty force of which she was capable into the balance with the allies. The occasion commemorated is a matter of little importance. It is the spirit of the war, the spirit that has made France sacrifice to the limit of her endurance, that has made Bel- gium choose devastation to dishonor, that has sent the Briton from the fa? cornars of the earth into action in defense of the ideals of democracy, that drove the Italian to conquer the | heights of the Alps, that sent Ameri- can youth over three thousand méles to help to destroy the menacing head of Prussianism. This is what the war has meant to the mations engaged in it. It is what an international holi- day should mean to 'the people of { of four years of the hardest sort of Syrian Relief Committee is striv- ing to collect for their charg- es a sufficient amount of clothing to afford some measure of decency, if not of comfort. For four years there has been no supply of wearing ap- parel provided for the Armenians and the Syrians. They have had nothing with which to make good the ravagzs that the peace is anything but a peace of victory, that their part is anything but the dictation of terms upon which they are willing to permit Germany | to give up the fight before she ex-] periences the horrors of war upon her territory. There has been no in- tention of negotiation among the al- experiences, nothing to use to pro- | vide for the needs of the life that | they have been compelled to lead for the period of the war. A few weeks ago a canvass of the used clothing supply was made by the Red Cross with which for the needs of the stricken people of Belgium and northern France. Many car loads of all sorts of apparel were sent to the seabord, thence to the othear side. The need here was great, greater than we in our comfortable homes can imagine. Only five carloads of this supply went to remote Armenia, because of the difficulties of trans- portation at that time. But in these Christian provinces of the nzar east there is desolation. One dress must do sometimes for ten people, so it is said by those who have worked among the sad people driven from their homes, made to endure unthink- able indignities and hardships. There must be in the Village many stores of unused clothing as yet un- touched for relief work. There are garments hanging in clothes presses that could be made into comfortable for materials to provide clothing for the destitute Christians of the near east. There are shoes that have lost their freshness, but still have many wezks of service if properly applied to the need that ex- ists for them. There will never be a better time, nor a worthier cause in which to make use of these hoarded garments, kept because there is a belief that some time they may be This is the time of times to Your nzed will never be greater than this of the Ar- useful. put them to service. menians and Syrians.

The only salvation for Germany, as well as for the rest of the world, lies in con- vincing the German people that they have been thoroughly beaten in war. So long as they think that peace was sought by the allies as well as by | them, so long as they have any ground for considering the event of the war anything but complete de- feat for them and full victory for the allies, there will be the Prussian spirit with which to deal again. The representatives of tha allied governments have agreed that the terms of peace are just. There can be no reason for receding from them unless there should be suggestion of some minor details whose change would not alter the result but make payment more easy for the German people. Aerial Photo Surveying an Engineer's Work The whole problem of photographic surveying from the air is dominantly an engineering problem. Photo- graphic technique is of course an essential part of the work, but it is a subordinate part, for the best photo- graphs are valueless as map-making material unless they are accompanied by the requisite enginezring date. Projections, adjustments, and other detail of map-making technique are as necessary in photo-aerial survey- ing as in other surveying, and all! map-making work should therzfore be the work of experienced gineers.
