Commemoration of the day can never again arouse such a passion of thankfulness. As memory dims the celebration becomes less. It was thus with Memorial Day. ‘Time heals all wounds and draws a merciful veil over past agonies. ; Still today we ean be. thankful that the lesson of the war. is not forgotten. We know now the “Fourteen Points’’ were rgointed dragon’s teeth. We. know now that: Democracy is never so much_ endangered as when we fight for its maintenance. We know now that war breeds despots and that the boom of guns immediately silences the voice of the people. We know now that iron fisted tyranny grows out of the ashes of wars. If we have not learned this lesson from the World war, we are as incapable of self government "as the black Ethiopians. . President Wilson was elected his second term because of his promise to keep us out of the war, and despite that the -American people foreed him into the war. It was.the slogan: “Make the world safe for democracy’’ that sent four million Americans into training camps and to France. Nearly two million men had landed there when the war ended, and it was this new blood stream injected into the old European arteries, which saved the national existence.of France and Italy and probably of England. Today we are able to measure just how much American altruism and Wilsonian ideal!ism cost us. They cost us 175,000 lives of our young men, and a greai army of the shattered and the woundthey cost us billions in pensions compensations,“ they cost us billions im private funds and repudiated by foreign debt_and in.a large measure they and more credits ors, cost us the hatred of debtor nations. Today Europe stands tipsily upon the brink of another war and we have another President who is promising us neutrality and no participation in European entanglements, But he has this advantage: the today, all those who were past five years of age when the World war remember the last’ war. Depression, in case they gotten, refreshes their youth of today, with war, at least, ‘has Depression which people came, The have formemory. T} Can 1e no memory experienced the grew out war. Fhus, we are a nation of burned fingers. It will require some motive greater than the last war, or! some imminent -danger, such as an invasion of our Own country, to drivé us’to put our hands into the! fire again. The greatest service the veterans of the World war can do their country today is to make 125,000,000 people see through their eyes, in other make this! a nation of realists. war words, Simmons, who is perhaps as good at prognestication, as the weather bureau, gives Europe a maximum of two more years of comparative peace before another war cataclysm. In the meantime, Ger-; many will rearm far beyond the old Imperial regime. England will have greatly added to its navy and air forces, France will augment its army to the last man _ capable of bearing arms, and Italy will emerge from Ethiopia with greatly increased forces and war Frank experience, whether winner or loser. And some trivial incident will plunge western Europe into the red bath again. We would like to see Prophet Simmons and others of his kind proved false. But prospect is gioomy. The forces that lift civilization up, are so easily turned to Casting it down to destruction. vd On this our thoughts upon teen years ago, that day, sevenwhen bugles sound: and soldiers climbed . out of their trenches, embraced their foes, sang, and shouted’ hellelujahs And let us migshtily resolve’ that those of ourneighbors who resort to war, do so at their risk, and not at ours. ; Mi. and Mrs. Joseph. “Ryan of Reno, Nevada, spent Sunday in Nevada City visiting jwith Mrs.Ryan‘s mother, Mrs. Emma Foley, and other family members. ! or; Armistice Day let ws turn” ‘by the of the . i . . . . i . \ . . } and day morning at 10 o’clock with sev. eral close friends and relatives present for the ceremony.
