ARMISTICE AND MEMOMAL DATS Armistice Day fbis year, because of unusual circumstances, toofc on the garb in most sections of the United States of a second Memorial Day. The amval of the great "unknown soldier," and the ceremonies attending the rites of interment of him whose name Js Legion overshadowed as it were the real meaning of the y day. ' It is natural that there be a degree of sadness and solemnity attending the celebration of Armistice Day because every service man and exservice man has vividly recalled to his mind the faces and memories of his buddies who "went west," and in many cases those memories are fresh with details not pleasant to dwell upon- ' Again the gold star mothers and fathers, while rejoicing in the fact that the war was ended for the sake of other sons and the sons of others, cannot forget the one who did not return. Yet those memories are ever present in a more or less .degree and it seems somewhat a pitV that Armistice Day cannot be -here what it is. in Europe;, one great day of rejoicing' with the gay holiday spirit paramount. Memorial Day has been set " aside as a "Decoration Day," and a day for the lads of 1861 anil 1898-and • 1917, who gave the Hist full measureJn France there is a Memorial Day • also, but it is another day and sadness predominates, but France had suffered too much not to rejoice over Armistice Day- True, the most of her young men had paid their debt in full and made the last supreme sacrifice' for the Lillies, but every man, woman and child had suffered so much that the relief given by the cessation of active war caused a Joy that wouldjoot be suppressedThe first Arimstice Day the writer spent in Milan, Italy. That celebration was so emotional that it seemed •explosive, as if the pent up feelings of the natioiNnust give vent to the wildest hilarity^ Yet it was mixed with a degree of uncertainty. The people were only half convinced the good news would be trueThe second Armistice Day we spent in Paris, that -joy metropolis of the world, and there the spirit was one of utter abandon to joy, of freedonvand carefree enjoyment of peace times. No one worked and everyone played as one big family. - In the crowded sections of the squares and boulevards the masses resembled nothing else quite so much as the New Year's Eve mob about City Hall, Philadelphia. Even the street girls kept to themselves and scorned advances of the carefree men — it was a holiday. „'" ■ v Certainly Armistice Day will never be in the limited States what it . is in France or Italy. Americans jannot play as do the Latin grownup children — we have forgotten how in the rush for pelf and position— our .dignity won't unbend enough and so we miss a great part of the same celebration, which is being held the world over. We imagine even in Germany they celebrate madly, for there they have the moj^to rejoice over. They can look over their fair fields unscarred by the marks of shell holes and craters. They can look with pride andv joy on their villages ami" towns untouched by the ravages of the war god and at the smoke from their, factory chimneys— they saved they alh-by the armistice; yet had the day of Armistice been postponed for sixty or wen thirty days longer, they, the hfcti gators of it all,, would have looked with stream- - ing eyes upon their own country wrecked and torn beyond repair even as" the Belgians -and the Alsacians and the people of Lorrainp must look upon theirs. For the Germans saved • their face by the armistice and the Allies lost much of their fruits Of \ victory. The eyes of the world are turned to the Conference at Washington, wondering if future Armistice .Days will be empty celebrations giving way to another war and -some tithe later, 'another day of armistice or day of ... surrender by one nation -to another of her vaunted rightsExpert opinions agree that^ehorn of its diplomacy and camouflage the conference- at Washington is a showdown on the -Fur- Eastern question with the United States calling someone's hand with .all her own cards on the table.
