THE WORLD PAUSES TODAY TO RECALL THE GREAT CONFLICT l _ I Exactly Eight Years Ago | News That the War Was Over Flashed Around ; the World. j PERPLEXITIES WERE UNTHOUGHT OF The Only Thought Was,j “The Boys Are Coming! Home!” and What Else,! Mattered to Us? Washington. Nov. 11. — (/P) — The World paused a Inoment today in the frenzied struggle for existence and aggrandizement to recollect that ex ayl y eight years ago there had come 1 the word from France that gripped t men’s- hearts as no other message epu'd have done. The great war was over—the roar ing destroying guns stilled at last. An ecstasy of rejoicing and triumph hqd followed. In that first wild cele bration there was no thought of the perplextities that were to beset the pathways of peace. What mattered it. the boys were coming borne? They came, and grateful nations i poured out a lavish greeting to gal i lant Sons. The spoils of glory due |to valor were showered upon them j in every city and hamlet, j Then came one home to American, j dead and unknown, who could not hear the cheering. About him cen tered such a majestic tribute to all ; those wbo lay dead in France, as thej ] price of victory, that it gave Arm's-1 i tit-o Day a new and solemn meaning j ; to all Americans. j Today, as always, the tomb of the j ! Unknown Soldier in Arlington cenie jtery was the heart of the American 1 observance of Armistice Day. In the j Words of Congress and of the Presi j dent's proclamation it typified “our | gratitude for peace and our desire for jthe continuance of friendly relations jwith all other people.” In other countries two ceremonies j centered about the tomb of the I'n- I known. Representatives of the far j flung dominions of tbe British Eidpire ]in conference at I-iomUm joined in 1 England’s tribute to the Iwy. (Jeorge, j the Prince of Wales arid -the- Duke I of York laid wreaths at the foot of j the cenotaph of England’s unknown, j ] A wreath of maple leaves brought i ] from the Kingmere cottage of Pre-j j mier MacKenzie near Ottawa, and in- j j terwoven with roses and chrysanthe- j ! mums formed Canada's tribute. I In Poland great ceremonies were ar- i j ranged to celebrate both Armistice j j Day, a national holiday, and the an- ! j niversary of tbe release of Marshal j | Pilsudsky from German captivity. | Out of the new significance of the j day as sacred to those who did not come back living from France has grown the simple observance all over the nation which marks Armistice Day. Everywhere it was guided by the “desire of each community as in Mis-! souri it centered about the flaming memorial of Missouri’s war dead at Kansas City, where President Cool idge went to voice the will of his countrymen for peace and friendship with all people. The duty alone could have drawn him away from his usual Armistice Day journey to Arlington to lay a wreath in person on the tomb of the Unknown. Army comrades of the war dead ev erywhere paid honors. Flags were at Troops were ordered drawn j up in silence to stand rigidly for a minute at 11 o’clock, the hour of the armistice eight years ago. The na tional salute of 21 guns was decreed for all saluti-ng posts. Throughout the nation memorial services befitting the day marked gatherings in schools (and churches and the momentary halt and silent, tribute to the meaning of the day was interwoven even with prosaic bufeinesg activities in many scattered industries.

New York, Nov. ii. —v?) —The cot- | ton market was quiet but generally | steady in today’s early trading.

I VALLE OF THE STATE’S t MINERAL PRODUCTS i ! Marked Increases Through the Great er Use of Stone and Clay. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel j Raleigh Nov. 11. —Marked Increases! i in the value of minerals produced in ! North Carolina dtiring recent years} have arisen through a greater utiiizn-j tion of. stone and c\ny products in cluding kaolins and shale, a report to ! the department of conservation and [development from'Dr. J. S. Studkey ! today reveals. Still further possibilities in the j commercial uses of slays and shale i j for fire proofing face brick and va rious types and qualities of tiles are , highly attractive. The department is ! constantly investigating and reporting upon mineral resources with the view of providing data for industrial de velopment. In 1920 the value of mineral prod ucts was the greatest up to that time in the history *of the state and amounted to $8,160,763. In 1925 a new high record for mineral produc tion value amounting to $11,042,517 was set. The 1924 mineral produc tion had a value of $10,163,435. The slight decrease in the value of the 1924 mineral production as compared with that of 1923 was due to a falling off in the amount of crushed stone and gravel used for road work and also to a decrease in the price of kaolfn and mica. Although a large amount of in- i vestigations of geological formations of the state has been done, front an I economic as well as scientific point ofJ view there is a grent amount of study j still needed, and which would, in all I probability, yield good returns on the | investment.
