LET US HAVE PEACE Armistice Day, 1918, Time of Rejoicing Veteran Recalls Incidents Witnessed in Small Belgian City. MONS had been taken. Itanilg nles, a few kilometers east, had fallen to the advancing Canadians the day before. It was ten o'clock In the morning. Troops were moving through on their way to take the lead In the big push that was under way. Parallel roads covered with marching columns. Then —sud- denly, unexpectedly—there came the order to “stand to.” Something mys terious about this order. Officers stood talking excitedly In little groups along the road. Several staff automo biles flashed by on their way to corps headquarters. The halt was long. It became longer. The boys had figured to be in the thick of hard fighting before this. Some thing had stopped the movement of that splendid fighting machine, the Canadian corps. Dispatch Rider's News. Just outside the little town of Ram- Ignies a group of Canadian soldiers watched a high-powered motorcycle come tearing down the road from the direction where till a short time ago had come the rattle of sharp and con tinuous firing. The Mg guns had been ■llent since ten o'clock. The dispatch rider, noticing “the troops." Just slowed up enough to shout: ‘‘lt*s nil over, fellows,” and sped on. His words dispelled all doubt ns to the rumors that had been rife for an hour or so. Two soldiers detached themselves from the and went to the old church of Rathlgnle*. The walls of the edifice still stood, but the roof had been damaged add was partly gone. Walking up to the ultar, the figure •f the old cure, bent In prayer, waa noticed. Only his llpa moved as he gazed upward to the broken wlndowa through which a pale sunlight made Its way. He was one of the cleric* who had taken the advice of Cardinal Merder and had stayed with his flock to sup port them In the time of enemy oc cupation. Soaring Oood Tidings, i. As the soldiers approached, one tapped him on the shoulder and told blm: "La guerre est flnl." The old man turned. He had an empty sleeve and on his bseeat a medal. Fie had fonght for France In 1870. ns he told the soldiers later, and had put on the old medal hnmefflntel.v after the with drawal of the enemy the previous day. “L* guerre eat tint." Hr repeated the words as in a dream. Then came a torrent of tears, and. supported by the two aoidiera from far-away, the cure climbed the winding stairway to the church tower. "A Canadian wUi announce to the villages apd towns of Belgium that they are libtfttteijf and that the Boche has gone," he said. A few creaks as the old man gripped the ropes. Then the first peal of the bells of peace when the two soldiers beared with all their might. The whole market square below filled with people. The old cure looked down and motioned with his hands to his parlshoners to come close up, for It Is considered an extremely happy omen to take part In a ceremony of ARMISTICE DAY ringing the bells of peace in France and Belgium. The Peals of the Bells. And then came the answer - first i in the belfry. And just when the old * cure caught the glad tidings, later ; powerful and with full tones the hells everywhere pealing, ft|r farther titan j we could hear, for in that hour all the bells of Belgium and Franoe, no far as the Spanish border, had taken up the ringing. The Canadians went down with the cure. Others had taken over the task In the belfrey. And Just when the old men and women and little children — the only civilians—-had gathered In n great happy throng, there sounded a wild cry, a wonderful shout of victory, never before heard in this town. Dash ing along came a squadron of Cana dian cavalry, whooping it up in true cowboy style. Through their tears the people smiled and laughed. The old cure stood looking on. “T,n Belgique enfin fibre, et voila nos liber:.fet;/-* (Belgium free at last and here are j our liberators)." he said. —Pierre Van I'aessen, in the Atlanta Constitution. Would Have Armistice Day National Holiday “Armistice day should take equal | rank with the Fourth of July and Decoration day as patriotic national , holidays,” said Walter Greenlee of Columbia, S. C., In an interview printed In the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "The armistice marked one of the greatest epochs In American history, representing the capitulation of one of the most powerful fighting ma- | chines on the face of the earth be cause of the activities of the Amerl oan soldiers. "With nearly 2,000,000 soldiers who went overseas and another 1,000,000 ready to go. It behooves the people to turn out and honor these boys by ob serving the day of victory, due to their efforts. We cannot pay too much respect to the boys who sacri ficed everything to follow the flag and fight for humanity and the preserva tion of civilization. “Armistice day should be a day of rejoicing and thanksgiving, and the people should decorate their homes in patriotic colors. The boys who were wearing khaki have not forgotten the extravagant phrases of welcome that greeted them on their return. They will Judge by the Interest In their cel ebration whether the words of praise and welcome were sincere." French and Americana Welcomed End of War Pandemonium reigned In Tours, headquarters of the S. O. 8. eight years ago. This army center, far removed from the actual line of combat, was made op of the various headquarters of the hon-coxnbatant units and a mili tary police 'battalion of 1,000 mem bers, the majority of which had seen activs service at the front, being ren dered unfit for active campaign duties far an Inttelnlte period. ...... Tours wsn»"hddl‘<flted*ln hellday at tire. No pretense at duty was made From early -morning until late at Dtght natives and American soldiers alike provided a moving maelstrom of hu manity, parading incessantly. Fem inine cries of "Flnl le guerre!" rent the atmosphere, with old ladies hog ging uniformed figures, small children soliciting souvenirs und the pollu re questing his American cigarette, which request became as a salutation througli the republic. FACING EAST _ NEW YOUTH, RISE UP! RISE UP FROM PLAY! i By Ernest L. Heitkamp. That now seems far and distant day (Boom of nun! Boom of gur.!) When armies paused in their red way And Armistice held sway. Eight years have spun their swifting days. (Tick of clock. Tick, tick, tock) And man, 3till trnnic in his ways, Goes forth to war, and slays. Face the Ear.t; face to the East. (Tell of bell! Toll of bell!) Ah, that all grim, gray war* ha« cenred In dawn’s first flush, released. Red poppies nod In Flanders fl Jd* (Sound of taps! Sound of tapj!) And crosses bear their withered wreaths Amid the war's dead leaves. New youth, rise up! Rise up from play! (Boom of gun! Distant gun!) Oh, turn your faces East today; Vow end to war's dismay. —Chicago American. HEALING THE SCARS LEFT BY CONFLICT Some Good Accomplished in Years of Peace. EIGHT years have now passed since the last shot was fired in the World war. Today the anni versary of Armistice day Is celebrated in those larids where the victory of 1918 was hailed then with rejoicing. Those eight years have been replete with great eveuts, as the war-torn world has readjusted to peace. They have witnessed conferences of the representatives of the nations, nego tiations for adjustments, reactions, re- ■ ; hellions within the boundaries of late ly warring powers, the formation of j an International association of na tions aiming at the establishment of ! . peace and its functioning in the set- j tlement of differences between the member nations. In these eight years that have passed since the armistice was signed and the warring forces ceased their awful struggle in Europe, advance lias un- I questionably been made toward a firmer ground of International under standing A settlement of the war obligations of Germany lias been ef fected upon terms finally acceptable to both sides. The new states created by the treaty of Versailles have gained substantial foundations. Eco nomic conditions have been advanced toward stability. Today, as the occasion is marked j by ceremonies -or by the simp!? but significant silence of millions at an appointed minute, it is possible to feel the remarkable recovery that has been made from the shock of conflict, and to realize the benefits which, at whatever cost, have been gained by humanity from the war. Millions of men were slain and more were maimed; countless losses were suf fered; the world was shocked Incal culably; nutlons were disrupted, bra ken Into portions that In some cases have been constituted Into new states; everything has been changed save the race itself, and that remains with Its old qualities and faults and virtues, but with the example of a needless horror as a guide to better conduct. Armistice day should he observed In a spirit of gratitude for the sacrifice* of those who now sleep In heroes’ graves. They went forth upon com mand to serve, to suffer,'to die. Some went eagerly, some reluctantly, some only upon the compulsion of law. But all who went, under whatever flag or 1 with whatever motive, or feelings, con tributed to the result that hi ‘today being celebrated. That soldier whose body lies beneath a marble slab at Arlington, unidentified, unknown. Is a symbol of the Impersonal service rendered by the great army of Amer -1 leans joined to the great armies of Europe to bring to as end a contest that was bleeding the world to death. To him, as the type of American doty in the hour of supreme need, respect Is today paid by a grateful nation. THE ZRBULON RECORD i ~ | Professional Cards i | i' * Sam J. Morris Y. Z. Parker Alfred E.
