WOODROW WILSON Speaking to an audience of at least one million people, 011 the eve of Armistice Day, former president Woodrow Wilson, delivered himself of the following magnificent address, speaking over the radio from the study in his^home on S Street: . "The anniversary of armistice day should stir us to a great exaltation of spirit because of the proud recol lection that it was our day. "A day, which above air those early days of never to be forgotten November, lifted the world to the j high .levels of vision and' achieve ment upon which the great war for democracy and right was fought and ? ' 1 * won, although the stimulating nie::i-| ories of that happy time of triumph %re forover marred and embittered for us by the shameful fact that; when the Victory was won ? won, be J it remembered, chiefly bjf the in-, domitable spirit and ' valiant sacri- ' fices of our own incomparable sold fices ? we turned our backs upon our associates, refused to bear any re sponsible part in the administration I of peace or the firm and permanent establishment of the results of the war won at so terrible a cost of % life and treasure, and withdrew into a ( sullen and selfish isolation which is deeply ignoble, manifestly cowardly and dishonorable. "This must always be a scnBte of1 deep mortification to us, and we shall inevitably be forced by tTie moral | obligations of freedom and honor to retrieve- that fatal error and assume once more the role of courage, self respect and helpfulness which every true American must wish to believe to be our true part in the affairs of | the world. "That we shall have thus don" a great wrong to civilization at on.-! i of the most critical turning points, i iii" tfcH history of mankind is the , more lo be deplored because every.1 anxious year that has followed has | made exceeding need for such sen ices as we might have rendered more and more manifest and move' and more pressing, as demoralizing circumstances which we might ha> t controlled have gone from bad to; worse, until now, as "if to furnish a' sort of sinster climax, P^nce and I tiny between them have made waste paper of the Treaty of Versailles and tlie whole field of international re- [ lntionships- in perilous confusion. ? "The affairs of the world can be sot straight only by the firmest and most determined exhibition of the will to lead and make the right pre-i vail. Happily, the present situation! of affairs in the world affords us an opportunity to retrieve the past and , to render mankind the incomparable ; service of proving that there is, at j least, one great and powerful nation 1 which can put aside programs of self '; interest, and devote itself to prac- J tieing and establishing the highest ideals of disinterested service and the consistent maintenance of ex^1 alted standards of conscience and of right. "The only way in which wo can show our true appreciation of tho significance of Armistice day is by resolving to put self interest away and once more formulate and act upon the highest ideals and purposes of international policy. Thus and only tlius can we return to the true traditions of America." <i . POE CAN'T COME ? ? The entertainment committee re grets very much that Dr. Clarence Poc has found that he will be Unable to address the people, here, on Fann ers' Day. The committe will provide another speaker who will make a short at? drcss on matters of interest to our farmers, and are now trying to secure the services of Dr. Frank Sherman, state entomologist, who can tejl us about the best way to our farms and gardens of Jjbp bean beetle.
