THOUGHTS ON ARMISTICE DAY • November 11, iyi8. “ Our souls which have been hiding so long as best they could from the black muddy reaches and poor huddled forms and the little wooden crosses all askew have came out to hear—as I am hearing now—the carillons of all the little villages swinging their chimes of peace across the bright fields and the long black forest whcse name till now was death The chimes of peace are faint to day, in some countries they seem to have completly died away; in other.<» they have been drowned out by mart ial trumpets, proclaiming a vast re arming. Yet people are still searching for a way to peace, searching with a frenzy of despair, haunted by the realization that this next war may well be not the war to end war but the war to end civilization as we know it. “It is later than you think;” the sundial’s ominous sentence shakes a chill of fear across the world. “It is later than you think"—the chimes of peace are dying fast; a year the foreign cbservers say—two years, then Hitler will move—Mussolini will back him and—off we go. The trumpets sounded very close last spring. An English friend said that when Hitler marched into the Rhineland, he and his family and every living one nearby packed up and got ready to leave their homes at once- Surprised, we asked “Why?’’ “Because,” he said, “we live near the railroad which leads to one of the big munitions plants. II war had broken out it w'ould have been bombed ^y German raiders immediately.” He spoke almost tellingly of the immense feeling of security on landing in America. To those who have only the Eng lish Channel between them and Flan ders Fields the times are perilous indeed. The Atlantic, several hun dred times as wide, separates Amer ica from the danger zone, but we must not forget that it was net wide enough in 1917 to keep us out of the troubles in Europe; and that it has grown no wider. In the desperate search for peace that is going on, the past has been combed for information. Many arti cles have been written cn why Amer ica went to war. The blame has been laid on the President, the financiers, the munitions makers, on the sub marines, on foreign propaganda, on Germany’s violation of the rules of warfare. Sifting each writer’s argu ments and adding the necessary dash of salt to counterbalance his personal prejudices, one is forced to the con clusion that the ultimate reason is a complex of all these various reasons with the exception perhaps of the rules of civilzed warfare. It has al ways seemed to this writer that the term civilized warfare was in its- self an anomoly and furthermore that no rules can be laid down in advance for the use of the new weapons which modern warfare is constantly invent ing. In fact, rules, no matter how care fully prepared, are a poor defence to an act which is mainly an act of the spirit. If a people is bent on war it matters little w^hether or not rules are broken or even who breaks them. “Incidents” are easily found or made to supply the causus bellae. Conver- I sely, if a people is determined to a- void war every rule in the book may be broken and nothing will happen. The Scandinavian nations, Hollanid and Switzerland, much closer to the field of action than this country, and of course infinitely weaker and more I difficult to defend, remained neutral. ; They did so because their people wan- ^ ted peace and were willing to pay ^ for it. They resisted bribes, threats and pressure from both sides includ- * ing violation of their rights as neu- ] trals and destruction of their for- ^eign trade, and they shouldered the burden of keeping their armies on a ^war footing during the whole period .of iKhStilities. In the light of the ^ war’s aftermath no sensible person accuse them of lack of patroit- 'ism 6r intelligence in having follow- WWUKHOW YOUR 5TATF ? Wf WHCIE 4 YW. mr PREf.

It is the sacrifice of trade, of | first women to hold an elective pol- imperialist aims of a nation’s pride itical office in the county j and far flung arrogance, a sacrifice ' of what we often mean when we say j patriotism and national honor. For I peace lies in the way of humbleness, of cultivating one's own garden, of not throwing the first stone, of turn ing the other cheek; and it cannot be won by simply wishing for it; it must be worked for. Some may see the way through neutrality laws, some through defin ite cooperation w'ith existing inter national bodies working for peace— the League, the World Court, some through trade treaties. Certainly Good Neighbor speeches will not car ry us far if they are accom- pained, as now, with demands for a vast rearmament. The Campaign for Peace must be an honest one and an active one. On November 11, 1918, peace came to a war-torn world, and now in 1936 we mujit work and sacrifice to keep that peace or once again our boys and other boys from ether lands will lie beneath the wooden crosses of the world.—K. L. B. ed that course. We did not want war in 1915 or 1916, and a year and a Faith is a great thing when applied with intelligence, but too soon fre quently we skip over the intelligence part.

The pair gave two far western states as their home.

Easy dol lars were collected from the gulli ble, who will never see the ho^ped for magizine. The moral is, an agent who is knovra for his integrity means an honest transaction. FATHER OF REV. C. F.

Daily News Ads Get Results One member of a Sandhill house hold finds amusement in the differ ent noises that sift through the win dow during the wakeful hours of the night. From the medley of sounds assembled out of the darkness faint tinkling of far away sleighbells reached the ears. Softly it came back again and again- This was too much. Sleigttbells with 'the thermometer safely above the frost line didn’t fit the night picture, although the imag ination was overworked. It went on for several nights until finally risk ing ridicule or the knowledge of a crumbling mind it was discussed with other members of the h:use. It seems the children’s sleighbells had been hung out in the garden over the fat pansies to discourage Brer’ Rabbit and all his many kin. The Motor Vehicle Bureau from Raleigh reports 120 stolen automo biles in the state during the past month. Of this number 63 cars were recovered. Drivers of automobiles could make thefts more difficult if they would not leave motors run ning while they stop to shop or by removing keys. A locked car is less inviting to a person in a hurry than one with a key in it already to op erate.
