Armistice Day
Very Quiet in
Piattsmouth
No Community Observance of Event
Save in Programs Held in
the City Schools.
The passing of Armstice day in this
city was not observed by any com
munity demonstrations aside from
the recognition of the day given in
the city schools.
The American Legion ha3 speak
ers at the schools, Judge A. H. Dux
bury, Attorney J. A. Capwell and Wil
liam G. Kieck, district judge-elect
being the speakers at the high school
and in the grade schools of the city.
The day being a legal holiday, the
bank as well as offices in the court
house were closed for thi day.
The passing of the day is one that
recalls to many of the residents of
the city, the original Armistice day
as they were in France and parti
cipating in the great war that had
taken toll of so many lives and bank
rupted a world. Large numbers of
Piattsmouth and Cass county men
were in the front and throughout
France when the signing of the arm
istice brought to the close the hos
tilities that for four years had de
luged Europe in blood and drew al
most every nation of the world into
the conflict. " ,
The largest group of Cass county
groups at the front were those in the
S9th division who were within sight
of tho historic city of Sedan, where
in 187 0 the French had been crushed
and where in the last war, the final
blow was struck that forced the close
of the war and the collapse of the
German empire as it existed. Other
men from this locality were scattered
in various outfits of the American
army that covered a large sector of
the Argonne front, or in the various
camps that covered all sections of
France.
With Armistice day at hand, the
present condition of European na
tions presents a more discouraging
picture than even in 1914 before the
declaration of war by Austria on
Serbia. All nations are arming and
apparently preparing for the out
breaking of a greafe conflict, while
Spain is in the midst of a great civil
war that is destroying great cities
and many lives.
Experienced in the past war it is
refreshing that the American people
stand definitely against again being
involved in a foreign war that cost
so many lives and financial burdens
to the nation. We should have ade
quate preparedness, however, that
would protect our own land from
the greed of other nations of the
world.
DEATH OF CARL STIMS0N
The death of Carl K. Stimson, 4 3,

aha where he has been ill tor some

for the Red Sox and will be remem
bered by the fans here.

aha on Thursday from the Brailcy

FROM THE PULPIT
"And they shall beat their swords
into ploughshares, and their spears
Into pruning hooks: nation shall lift
up sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war any more."
Isaiah 2:4.
"If it would be possible to char
acterize American life," said Rev.
G. A. Pahl, Jr., in his sermon yester
day morning, "I would say it is long
on holding on to traditions and short
upon rationalizing them."
He gave as an example, Armistice
Day observance. He said the use of
parades, marching men in attractive
unifoims, and martial displays, give
a false impression especially to
youth.
"To mo it is net a time for dem
onstration, nor a time to laud and
sing pra:ses for thorc who served in
wars, however noble their sacrifics
were but it should be observed in
the eiuict of the homes in small
groups. The only way to observe
Armistice day is with the thought
that they might not have died in
vain.' "
The minister told that Isaiah had
the idea cf world peace 2700 years
ago, 750 years before the birth of
Christ. He could not have received
inspiration for the thought from the
kings of the time who gloried in
pomp and military prowess and in
cleverness in strategy. Isaiah re
ceived the idea In;;.; Cod the in-
spirer of noble ideas. "Only a small
fraction of the i'cr.3 of man live
through more tLau one generation, "
he stated "God's ideas are eternal."
He believes it Is impossible for
science to bring about a warless
world through destructive metnods;
nor will "isms" accomplish world
peace; nor will world peace be
brought about at any certain time.
He illustrated the source of world
peace by the story of a British manu
facturer of jigsaw puzzles. This man
decided to make a most difficult jig
saw so selected a map of the world.
He took the puzzle to his son, took it
apart and said, "If you solve this
puzzle in two hours I will give you
two pounds. If you finish it by to
morrow, you will receive one pound."
Within a short time the son came
into his father's study and said
"Father, come see, I have it finished."
The father, astonished, asked "How
did you do it so quickly son?" The
answer was "You weren't so careful
father, when you made that puzzle.
I noticed that on the back was a
picture of a man, so I put that to
gether, knowing that if I got the man
straight I would have the world
straight."
"The world represents a jigsaw
puzzle, " said Rev. Pahl "and has al
ways been a jigsaw puzzle since the
first group of people formed them
selves into tribes. The one deciding
factor is the individual man."
"Too often we say 'Yes, I believe
in world harmony, imt until it is ac
complished, I'm going to use the
tactics other men use.' That's start
ing at the wrong end" he stated.
"Religion has power only when
men have the intestinal fortitude to
be Christians every day of the year.
"In this physical universe there
are two laws. The law of gravitation
which draws things downward and
the law of attraction which draws
the spirit of men up to God.
"Jesus saidAnd r, if I be lifted
up, will draw all men unto me. If a
nation be lifted up," the speaker
said "it will draw others. Someday
nations will say 'come let us go up
unto the mount of the Lord . . . and
he will teach us' and they will be
lifted up."
