The Significance of Armistice Day November llAlYhy does it mean so much to us? XVhy are we so enthus- iastic at the anniversary of the end of the XYorld war, when the closing dates of other great wars are almost erased from our memories? To some, .Xrinistice day is import- ant hecause it marked the closing of the world's most modern war. hut to me it is a day on which democracy tri- umphed over militarismg when the flag of equality among nations was again unfurled after four years of douhtg and when doughhoys with fighting hearts conquered a self-seeking and confident IRENE HARRINGTON 2lI'H15'- To those soldiers who were not physical and mental wrecks, that document, signed on Novemher ll. meant freedom. Now once again they would see their mothers, wives. sweethearts and children. They would have a decent hed to sleep in, a roof over their heads, and they could rest without heing disturhed hy machine guns. Yes, they would make up for those long, dreary months of hardship in the trenches, They would shake off the disillusionment hrought on hy the ghastliness of war. A-Xrmistice! Peace! How sweet those words sounded to their ears, deaiened hy the roar of cannon. No wonder they wept for joy! Yes, life is sweet for those who survived the hattle unmarred, hut for thousands of ex-service men, our maimed and shell-shocked heroes, the war is not yet over. These men claim our gratitude and respect on Armist- ice day and all other days. Let us not intensify their suffering hy our thouffhtlessness and forffetfulness. rs 1 6 XYe owe our liherty. the safety of our homes and our country to the millions who died so valiantly and willingly during that great conflict, and to the thousands who are still suffering, hecause they dared to answer the challenge of autocracy. .Xrmistice day recalls to our minds the cruelty of war, the hlessings of peace, the sacrifices of hrave men. lts animal celehration is a trumpet call lo us Americans to dedicate ourselves anew. to the preservation and perpetuation of the peace so dearly won. 5.1.7 C 1 .1 LBETY1 z1S1u'5:f.::QCL'.xlQNlf:5a..iQ ' ' li is 4'4'1:i: .-44? 4-1 4',4,4 4 .1 .4'4.4?4 1.,1LQ..l- 1 .f PACE THIRTY-SIX
