It is the late Marshal Foch's order halting hostilities on the front. No longer cleaves the ruthless sword, t, J niiu tunc la wai grim panoply. Dead homes, dead men and now, O Lord, A moment's rest Beside the monument that we Have bui'.dcd for ourselves, not thee. The years shall dull our grief and yet, Though now the battle dust is lain, Can we forget? Can we forget? We need thee, Lord, For thine the boon that tears of pain Once shed shall not be shed again. Albert J. Cook, in American Legion Monthly. How Soldiers Got the News It was Monday, 'November 11, 1018, when hostilities came to an end from Switzerland to the sea. Twelve years ago at eleven o'clock of the eleventh day of the eleventh month 'T-'inis la guerre." It was a memorable day, a more memorable moment when, at the stroke of eleven, the noise of cannon stopped, machine guns grew still, and rilles ceased to crack.

None of the dmi lieved it at lirst. They had eai'd the same thing before. It was just one of those rumors, only the preeedim; Thursday night ihe niciit the envoys came over from Spa some one had passed the word that Ihe armistice had been sig'ic-d and there had been a small flurry of excitement, lights where there should be no lights and Indiscriminate tiring of arms result ing in hard-voiced reprimands. But this time it was true. From the wireless station on the Eiffel tower in Paris Marshal Foch's order to cease firing at eleven o'clock had gone out Into the air to the half-incredulous line which the Americans held from near Sedan to the Moselle. The high command had a notion of passing the wonderful order along in a military manner, to have the corps report It calmly by wire to the di visions, the divisions to the brigades, the brigades to the regiments, the reg iments to the battalions, and so on nn : til every member of every squad knew t about it. But it did not work out itbat way. " . The news spread by that form of wireless known to man long before ! Marconi was born. It started ewiy in tthe morning with the first blush of idawn. It ran along a thousand mesa j lines of men shivering and stamping in the mud, clattering their mess gear ! and clamoring for chow. Truck driv en shouted it to on another on the roads.

With tliis knowledge in mind, the war went on in a linal burst of reck less abandon. Evorwme wanted to have a hand in it before it ended. It is told how at one point where a Yankee, outfit was having a brisk bat tle on the east of the Mouse a man stationed at one nailery stood with a handkerchief in his uplifted hand, a watch in the other. It wanted one minute of clown o'clock. In front of him were the guns of i lie battery, four of them. Attached to each lanyard was a long rope, manned by gunners, cooks, signalmen, soldiers, mesM'ii gers, stragglers, even body. At eleven o'clock the handkerchief fell, the men pulled and the battery liivd its last shot. And so it was, at hundreds, thousands of places along the line. Stopped Fierce Action. Probably the hardest fighting being done by the Americans in the final hour of the war was that which en gaged the troops of the Twenty-eighth, Ninety-second, Eighty-lirst and Sev enth divisions with the .Second Amer ican army. They had launched an at tack above Yignuelles just before dawn. It was no tea party. They knew nothing of any order to cease tiring, and were hard at it when word readied them just in time, brought to the edge of the battle front by run ners scurrying from fox hole to fox lude. Then, at the stroke of eleven, after every gun in the war seemed to have been tired simultaneously, some of them without any attempt at direction, silence litter and absolute silence fell upon the land. It was as if the world had suddenly died. Men looked at one another bewildered. Hut only for a moment. Then Keiy man in the A. F. 1". throw down his tools of war. A slow Lfin spread over his face. And lien lie jelled. At that moment every one was sl'ghily bcfiai(".ed, .'ighliy mad. Then another amazing th:ng happened. The baKcicn, torn l;!:,ds-,i, o which a nimiile beoie iiad be, n as bare as the palm of yot.r hand, became aii'.e with men.
