sS FROM' VAC^IQU Si branches b^. Robsrt^Cevih^oi^-) 1] li - SHALL WE FORGET? Twelve yeai« a^o, next Tuesday the Great War ended, far as physical con flict and mutual killing is concerned. Per twelve years however it has Uved on, through re-creation after re-creation, in. book, play, picture and conversation^ A struggle has ensued with the dogmatic fierceness of the conflict itself as to whetehr it is a good thing that these presenta tions of war appear to recreate in the minds of a people now at peace the gruesome and disturbing details of the time when practically the whole earth wah^ fighting. Long and fiercely the battle ol^ opinion has been waged and yet through it all the people of America and the world have eagerly devoured the hooks that were the most stark and horrible, have flocked in thousands to see war plays anjd have listened eagerly to the talk of things that happened in the trenches and be hind the llnees, “All Quiet on the Western Front” arid “A Farewell to Anns*’ have been in the forefront of the nation’s best sellers; a throb bing series of war pictures have packed theatres and “Journey’s, End,” a realistic portrayal of the war, became the most talked of play of last theatrical season. People e^y that the war should be forgot ten. People have never forgotten a thing because It was e^pedfent to forget They forget because they are no longer interested, or because the memory of a thing has become dim and unreal and no longer takes a hold on their mind. Participants ' who suffered in the war do noc for get because they cannot; thbse who did suffer will mt forget because the horror, w^hich Gid not touch them, is facinatlng. The question arises then as to why we should forget. Will the ob literation of the memory of the mud ships and suffering that few of us can imagine, broken health, deform ed bodies, shatter^ nerves . . . . these are a few of the things that the soldiers of the army and every army incurred for us. These things ■h^hould be treasured in the heart of every American for’ whom the sac rifice was made. The memory of tthe war on Armistice day should not be an occasion foi* glorifying war but for the quiet realization of the price that was payed and firm de termination that that price shall never be called for again. men of the lowlands and nsnally- to get a^ little the worst of it . . . the swapping of green hides for tan ned ones to be turned over to the farm cobbler who made them into rough shoes fastened with wooden pegs ... the eager group about the old organ, singing “When lYou and I Were Young Maggie” and "Annie Laurie,’? while the candle light flickered softly on the walls . . . the tallest ' youth holding the lamp for the organist with modest the pain A:_8hiieldbig the next ear a new adventrire.

Every ^y the maU order house of to and enthusiasm . . and Dunk’s fa- new age has its original a :d so-call ed “new” customs and traditions. .\Io.*t of these are pronounced su- pericr to the- old, often we are aff .'.id, becaus!> they are new and for no other reaboa, Every few ycitrs brings f rth its npw born srartes of enteriiiument and buries with appropriate ceremony the de- crepld and obsolete entertainments of former years. Always in the ranks of mankind are some men who recall the pleasures of bygone days and appreciate the .’simple things that entertained us. These men are usually called columnists, though they are sometimes known as old timey people or, unkindly, old fo geys. The life of a tradition is not hard. It springs up suddenly and for a period of years is rushed about pop ularly. A decline set^ pjn for a while as it is ignored and wen comes the Indian Summer of its life when it can sit back in the old arm chair day.

Distance in time addk color to the times of our fathers and a few passing years will cast the same quiet glory about onr practice is capable of much cm-ious satisfaction but is not within the bounds of this idea. If you are besieged with unavail and blood, erase War from the i age when the men who flew in aero earth? Obviously not. Will forget ting murder and crime silence guns and miminize nnlawfullness? Prob ably not. But will the ignoring of personal grievance temper the, sting of it? More probable than the oth ers. Hope is more ea’sily controlled than memory. Exaggerated expecta tions' may be moderated by common sense; memory of the things that have happened is more powerful and defies the power of the human will. Grievance a gainst the nations who were our enemies should be forgot ten in a hope for world unity grow ing out of a will to work toward world harmony. The grim facts of slaughter and unspeakable suffering should not be forgotten entirely; they should be remembered to be weigh ed in the balance against the next policy which seems to aggravate war aS a national measure. Above all there are a few things that can never be forgotten while our country stands.
