It is requested that anyone
knowing anything of deceased's
relatives communicate with Commissioner Sandford of Hyder at

By some extraordinary turn of

I ticked the news to the bulletin boards;
bravely attempting a smile, to cover an
anguish of heart that at times seemed to
consume their very souls.
NOVEMBER 11th, 1918-Peace-The
Armistice was signed, and civilization staggered back from its race to suicide. War
let loose its death grip on the throat of
blood-stained Europe, and gave the peoples
of the earth a breathing spell, in which to
gaze upon countless ruins of cities, millions upon millions of graves; a world filled
with widows, orphans, maimed and suffering, crushed and tumbling nations, and a
strained and almost shattered civilization.
NOVEMBER 11, 1918-A day of relief, a day of joy, a day of thanksgiving!
TODAY-NOVEMBER 11, 1923, five,
years later, finds a world full of thanksgiving for the relief granted, for the suffering ended, for the sacrifices no longer
demanded; finds a sore-tried humanity
slowly struggling back from the abyss cf
war and destruction to the cool, green
hills of peace, and the broad, flat fields of
prosperity���to better, freer, higher standards of civilization.

Shall we forget the time they marched away
Singing, as though to some glad holiday?
Shall we forget what anxious watch we kept
Of the returns?   How mothers wept?
Shall all our sense of gratefulness be lost?

Be niggardly in a response to give
To those who cannot work���but who must live?

1914���OUT of a clear summer sky
broke the thunder-clap of war, sending
men and women by the thousands, cheering, into the streets of the great cities of
Europe.
Starting from a little blaze in the Balkans, the holocaust of blood and slaughter
soon swept over Europe, dragging into its
voracious flames the nations of the earth,
as wisps of straw into a furnace. Men
who, in their tens of thousands, a few
short months before," had been enjoying
the peace of their firesides, were flocking
to the various banners raised. Cheering
as they marched through the streets, singing as they went to the front, thinking
not of themselves, thinking not of the
morrow; swept up in a gale of excitement
that carried them to an inferno as of hell.
Filling the trenches today, filling the
graves tomorrow;   leaving forever their
dear ones;   mothers,  wives,  sisters and
