Of Days of Strife and Triumph of American Arms on Foreign Soil and the Nation's Service. From Monday's Daily Observing today the fifth anniver sary of the signing of the Armistice which marked the close of the hos tilities between the allied nations and the central empires of Germany, Austria and Turkey, the nation stops to ponder for a moment of the sac rifices of the great war and the need for a move to make for world peace that will banish war. Those who served in the war, those who were in the most intimate touch with the great world struggle came back from the battlefields cf Europe inspired by the hope of the great struggle being the last war of the nations and the dawn of a last ing peace. This was the hope of the stricken peoples of the old world, of the German, the Englishman, the Frenchman and the Austrian, but the sacrifices of the men of the ar mies, of the men and women at the home firesides have been buffeted by the political forces of the world so that the advantages that had been gained for the advancement of world peace were sacrifices in the in terest of selfish ambitions and the suffering nations sunk farther into misery and want. The greatest of the nations, and the one that could have helped to bind up the wounds of war of the world and insured the lasting world's peace the United State through its senate was held back and today the crisis is great in the old world the German people abandoned, turn- Mr. and ..Irs.

But from the politicaj aspect of me presem aay question me .umiiif; of Armistice day brings to some two million of Americans at least a vivid recollection of the words that were shouted in the f.eld3 and towns of France, "LeGuerre Fin " and which ment to the troops the vision of the return to the homeland across the sea. ' The Armistice terms were signed at Senlis, France, at 5 a. m.

BANK DEPARTMENT SHOULD BE ALON Guaranty und Commission Approves Recommendation of Secretary of Trade and Commerce. Separation of the state banking department from other branches of the state government with which it has been mixed up since the code law was enacted in 19 If is favored by the guaranty fund commission in ' a resolution adopted at its recent meeting, which endorses suggestion , to that effect made by its chairman, , Trade and Commerce Secretary K. C. Kuudson. in his address to the Ne braska bankers association at Om aha, last month. Secretary Knudson now acts as of ficial head of the .insurance admin istration as well as of banking, which necessarily divides his time and at tention. Blue sky and . fire preven tion were also loaded upon his do- i partment by the code law, but Gov- ernor Bryan found it possible to transfer the supervision of those ac- 1 tivities to other departments. The guaranty fund commission s ! resolution also favors a change in the ! law to permit the 6tate banking de- partment to use all examination fees I which it collects, instead of turning ; them into the state treasury as at I present. - J The resolution commends Secre- j tary. Knudson's tali- to- the bankers I association and says that the infor- j mation which he gave to it will tend to improve banking conditions in the state and promote closer co-operation between the bankers, the bank- ing department, and the guaranty fund commission.
