"ARMISTICE DAY" TALK Celebration of "Armistice Day seems to be scouted in high places as inappropriate and unwise. There is a feeling which is described as generally growing and pretty well over the country now, that the ar mistice was a mistake and the mark ing of it by any public demonstra tion would be unattended by any enthusiasm. Terhaps it is well for us to think this over with some care While a celebration is in itself un important, and may not be promot ed at this time, our attitude toward the conduct of the ending of the war is very important. There is no question in reason able minds that the Allies were ready to make a successful invasion of Germany and force the armies of the Central Empires to their knees in the field. We have it not only from Marshal Foch, but from Ger man sources as well, and events since armistice day, that the military ma chine of the enemy was smashed and nothing remained but retreat and disaster for the arrogant kaiser and his cohorts. We know pretty well the feeling at the time and we had from Marshal Foch his own expres sions of a disappointment in not see ing the climax of his patient, mas terly and heroic effort in crushing the armies of the central empires. We knew at the time of his retire ment into seclusion and could well imagine the chagrin of this great soldier, of our own Pershing and of the men in the field, at the col lapse of the enemy begging on his knees for a cessation of war, when the strategy of the Allies and the heroism of their armies were bring ing the conflict to a tragic and an overwhelming finish that was well merited. Dut in all history there is no du plicate of the utter humiliation and defeat which brought the biggest military establishment in Europe groveling to the earth when the ar mistice with Germany and her al lies was signed. From millions of hearts in America on that day there went up prayers of thankfulness and rejoicing. The victory was sudden and complete, the dread in thousands of homes of the loss of more lives of our brave young men was lifted and the things for which -we fought were secure. Germany was to feel the result of her monstrous offense against the world for centuries to come. Wrongs were to be riehtcd and the hopes of great nations and little nations were never so high in the world's history. Then followed the long period of peace making, of fixing terms, of making it certain that Germany or any other nation should never run amuck in the progress of the world, with reckless fury and designing purpose to thrive by conquest and domination of other peoples. The treaty was finally drawn and the League of Nations was outlined, amended according to the wishes expressed in America, the United States senate and in other countries, and presented for ratification. The whole purpose and scope of the League of Nations is to make such another war impossible. The agreed plan and substance of the treaty is to exact a toll of recompense so far as it can be made from the imperial pirating nations and to secure the rights of peoples to govern them selves unhampered and without force of tyrany, or greed and avarice from without. It is a day of unrest, dissatisfac tion and thoughtless impulses. The Armistice Day will stand in history as that day which marked the death knell of imperialism in the world We believe the League of Nations will be secured at the nd, in spite of the petty partisan, the hating: in dividual dressed in temporary power, the blindness of honest men toward the sun of hope and progress of hu man beings all over the world. We do know that Marshal Foch himself would not have had the thousands of lives' of his heroic men unnecessarily sacrificed upon the al tar of victory when victory was al ready won. We are certain that in millions of homes in this country there will always be gratitude dat ing back to that memorable day of the signing of the armistice. Whatever our individual opinions, we cannot think that belittling of the ending of the war is any help to the situation of the world today. We may not celebrate Armistice day and we may not think that the day which will stand in history, is to be remembered by all nations, but we should not forget the victory our boys won and the sacrifices made by the people that a new era of higher and better progress might begin. Let us rather make the most of our opportunities to restore the normal life of our country with a new and better attitude toward human rights and the importance and value of the family, with a new determination for square dealing the world over. We will not help if we lose sight of the great oppor tunity of today. World-Herald. A.
