This will be in accordance with the request of st ate and national Legion Officials, who are stressing the memorial aspects of Armistice Day this year, more than the celebration theme. The Edwards Military Institute Band Is expected to visit Warsaw and take part in the annual Armis tice Day parade, which will pre cede the address by Mr. Hogue. Girl and Boys Scouts troops of Warsaw and Kenansville, school children, and Legionnaires, will take part in the parade, which is a regular part of thu Warsaw Ar mistice Day observance. The Edwards Military Institute has a particularly fine band this year. It will be well wo.th the trip to Warsaw to hear this band perform. The W.

The Armistic night dance has been a part of the Warsaw Armistice Day celebration for a number of years.. Some of the country's finest orchestras have played for this dance, and a num ber of people from Warsaw and the surrounding towns have en joyed the dance with Warsaw Le gionnaires. When the war is won. and the times leturn to normal the Warsaw Legionnaires plan to re turn to the dance as a part of the c-bservance, but this year it is felt that it is a little out of place. .

' ; .. -. .. . - A football game, with Warsaw mating some worthy orronent enth month rolls around again we honor a magnificent anniversary in the grim setting of a new war . It is the nnnive.sary of the Arn istice that brought a triumphant end to our fighting efforts in the last war 24 years ago today . Because we are engaged in a second World War today, some pessimistic individuals have wailed that we should not observe this an niversary this year. What doleful he.esy! It indicates a complete lack of understanding of the s gnificance of the observance of Armistice Day. This day has never meant on ly the mere celebration of the end i of fightir-; and the return of pea ace aftc. .j.ng months of war. If that we .11 we have been cole brating o.: November 11th all th ese yea. s-s .ice 1918, w could have celebrated tiiat anniversary whet her we had won or lost that war! What we have celebrated on each Armistice Uay was the glorious victory wo bv the valor of Ameri- 1 can arms which p eserved our gr eat heritage of freedom and liber ty in what was then the greatest atack ever made on our way of li fe. Armistices' D.y this year, thjve f ore, '.a a day of inspiration, not a day of frustration. It is a day for 6 'song of re-assurance in our he arts. November 11, 1918 mmketl the high tide of our triumph over the most powerful enemies we had faced then. We won a smashing victory! That is the point to len.ember on last winning entry in our fighting this day. That wa: constituted tin form. That form is perfect. We have never lost a war. WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE THIS ONE! In that contemplation of the meaning of Armistic Day we find solid encourage. nent today fo.' the J big sk ahead. To be sure e have lost battles in this war. We have lost men, ships, and territory. We have been slow again in rising in our mighty wrath. When the full force of our new ly forged military power is turn ed on, the story of this war will be different. Already our fighting men of today, fighting thus far at initial disadvantage, have equalled in gallantry of action, in contem pt of odds, and in disregard of toil, pain, and the menace of death, the finest traditions of our soldie.s and sailors of the last war. They sho uld. They are our sons. They are chips off the old block. We are all tremendously proud of them . We are thrilled to see them inscribing in glory such few names as Bata an, Corregidor, the Coral Sea, Mid way, and the Solomons, in the American scroll of fame where the men of 1917-18 wrote the names of Cantigny, Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel, and the Meuse-Argonnle . The brave men who died to win the last war, did not die in vain just because we are again at war. They gave their lives to extend our freedom and 1 berty for an entire generation in the most tragic and turbulleant per od in history. With out their ready and willing sacri fices there would today be no Un ited States Government. To perpe tuate that government is not thro wing away your life. The contin ued success of that government is today our greatest responsibility, because in it lies the hope of all freedom-loving men everywhere for theii1 eventual emancipation fr om slavery. ' ' Freedom and liberty are-never static. They must be fought for to be held. Only eternal vigilance & constant readiness to defend them can keep them ours . ' Of course, the lieroio men .who died for us in 1917-18 did not die in the belief they were Insuring our heritage for only 25 years- Th elr dying thoughts envisioned an America enduringty secure.. ' We gambling in stocks, to peace mo vements, to cults and clirues and clans, to flagpole sitters and fan dancers to everything but nation al defense and real stic appraisal. During all these years Armis tice Days came and went. But for The American Legion and othe? patriotic groups they would have passed almost unnoticed. There were some voices crying in the wlc I lderness DeGaulle in France, Wi nston Churchill in England, "BuV Mitchell in the United States tel 1 ng us to get guards up, that inter national robbers were about again, that new wa's would be fought. We promptly court martlaled Mit chell. Added to the voices of these men were constant warnings and -pleas of The American Legion. The Legionnaires were realists. They knew that the peace won at such tragic cost in the last war was be ing rapidly lost. They demanded that we plan ahead of time to ad- 1 opt conscription, and to draft dol lars as well as men, at the onset, of war, that we remember our forefathers' warning, "In time of .aaee, prepare for war." We call ed them militaristic. : We d.dn'Hjtek steps toward pre" X7a p t itnrl anuinH L m i J rvk m ..ill. tit can't hnmvnr hpre inriiffp-WMEk. . while a fanatic by the name' of ' Adolf Hitler awakened the spirit of revenge that had lurked in de feated Germany; while Mussolini launched Italy on a d.eam of em pire; while the war lo.ds of Japan started the avalanche of conquest. It was inevitable that those preda tory wolves would go hunting In a pack. Today we are frantically re-arm- inf to win the greatest war Into which we have ever become invol ved, a war that is being fought out in a deadly test whether indi vidual and national libert.os shall survive. At this Armistice Day anniver sary we are still free because of the brave men who died for us in the last war, and who "are dying tor us now. Because of this their sacri fices have not been in vain. But the Issue is now squarely up to us. The past sacrifices of our hero dead will no longer protect us from here on. It is now up to us. It is now our turn to sacrifice, with a vengeance, to work and toll over time to make up for our past joy ride. We've got to get back on the beam of those beacon lights ignit ed by the men who fought for us . and died for us in the last war. . We've got to work and fight: . That is the message I want to leave with you on this da . We must 'dedicate ourselves fervently, fanatically to the job at hand. To win the war we must whip the enemy. Our fighting men will take care of that. But our men must have the ships .the supplies, ft ev- . the guns, the supplies, and every erything they need to assure vic tory. To supply thees is the "wln-the-war" job of all of ous who stay at home. We must let nothing, ab solutely nothing, interfere with that job. To win the peace we must send to the conference table, after the 1 enemy is completely crushed, only the best qualified men and wo- men . They must write a world-wide bill of rights which will guara ntee to all peoples the four free doms freedom of speech, free dom of worship, freedom f .fin 1 r nt, and freedom from fear, and forever remove the seeds of future onflicts. We must not again sink our Navy, disband our Army, rn I linmantle our war plants. Wo must .emain so strong that v. e can ' t teeth Into international law. We' ve got to get back to the faith of our sturdy forefathers, and, to old fashioned Americanism. ; These are the duties to oursel ves and to those who died tq gain ireeaom ana to make the world a We Just- neglected thetfUern vigilance they sgtfor, us.. ..
