OCTOBER 25. 1923 ARMISTICE DAY The Morgan-Ranck Post of the American I lagjsd proposed, if its officers can enlist the S sympathy ami support of the public, that Armistice Day in Ocean City shall be property observed this year. For the past two years this has not been done. The celebration has been of a very perfunctory character, reflecting anything but credit upnn the city. Our children will have ample reason to marvel why we seemingly have failed to realise that Armistice Day is the most significant and epochal in the annals of modern civilisation. America lias its national days. Imiipeniience Day Jo r example belongs to America, and America only, even though as a mark of courtesy among friendly nations it is formally rei cognised. Other nations have their days of local historical import. Armistice Day belongs to the world. The untutored savage of the South Seas cannot possibly know a* yet that Armistice Day, and the momentous event which took place on that occasion will exercise any influence upon his future destiny. His son however will hare reason to honor the day with a degree of reverence akin to superstitious awe; for when civilization doe* spread its beneficieno e» around him, they will be of a higher and purer order than the world has so far known because of the document signed on Amisitice Day. A new era in human history began on Artrisitce Day. Armistice Day witnessed the death of the social order which had survived for twenty centuries, and the birth of the new destined to become world-universal. The monarchies of Europe are tottering to their fall, and the poets of the old regime are chanting odes to a world-congress. November the 11th marks the fifth anniversary of the triumph of democracy over autocracy. For the purpose of focalizing our thoughts in terms of the concrete, we say that Armistice Day commemorates the victory over the brutal dictatorship, and the iron despotism of the Central Powers— the greatest plot eve conceived to subjugate a world for the aggrandisement of a family— the Hohenxollerns and the Hapsburgg. Armistice Day however commemorates more.

The reunieKnf a petty European prince!- ' ing by an insane school boy was no more the. real cause of the World War ftian the Abolitionrfif Slavery was the real cause of the Civil War. Both were only contributory causes. Lincoln knew that the North and South would : never have resorted to the force of arms had negro slavery been the only question at issue. As in the case of the World War, the Civil War was the inevitable result of a dash between two irreconcilable forms of government, two mutually antoganistic systems of social economy. The S-uth was typically autocratic, the ' North a robust and rugged democracy- The Civil 'War was inevitable in the evolution of I il.IHi.ii.When America entered into the arena of 1 the World War, the bloodiest and most titanic ' struggle, she threw ,j©wn the gauntlet, unsheathed the sword. Hurled the scabbard away, vowing that by the G«i of Washington and ' Lincoln that never would rim cease from battle until the last ventage of autocracy and tyranny had been banished from the face of the earth. To the American, Independence Day is a symbol of liberty secured; Armistice Day is a syTlbol of liberty saved and preserved. flu addition to its political significance. Armistice Day brings sad thoughts. The dawn of November 11th will greet tear -dimmed eye*, and many an aged lonely mother will in spirit hover around a mound of green underneath which rests the remains of one who gave hb life to save civilization from being left a bleaching corpse upon the wastes of time. The haunting refrain of Kipling's immortal Recessional rings in our ears: "Lest we forget. Lest we forget." Too soon have the nations forgotten, and returned to the very' practices which transformed half the continent of Europe into a huge chamel house, and robbed the world of the flower of its manhood. The American Legion throughout the State* proposes to recognize Armistice Day this year as it'should. It is eminently fitting that the Legion should assume the lead. But the nation Is undef no" less an obligation. It is therefore to be hoped that, whatever may be the nature of the celebration arranged by the Morgan- Ranek Post, Ocean City will respond end co-operate enthusiastically.

There is a facination in mingling with the crowd unknown and unchronicled, of being able to walk, taik, eat, play and frolic a> v.. - ~ man beings, art-l not compelled to AlTeet the dignified deportment, and the quasi -dramatic worshiping public. Whether or not however, the fact that such cdrbritie* are able to remain incognito fcr any period of time in a ktattty, is a compliment to the people of that locality, is a moot question we cannot presume to ■ieeuie. During the past summer Ocean City was - in honored by the presence of several person*. ie ladies ami gentlemen whose name* rank high v in the roster of the nation's celebrities. : j- In a cosy apartment located on Wesleyis avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Osborne spent ,n the entire summer.

In order to thoroughly acquaint d himself with the idiosyncrasies of the oriental t lt mind, he wormed his way into the confide r-cc 1 4 and intimate friendship with several Japanese " people residing in New York. Then he wrote :• v hi* play, a masterpiece of p.*ychologica! ani- alyria. d The plot revolves around a Japanese genr tleman, who had married an American girt, b f Cultured and refined to the highest degree, the r product of ar.

f During his sejum in this resort. Mr. and . Mrs. Osborne had the pleasure of entertaining Henry Herbert, one of the most brilliant actor* J . of the day, who assayed with unqualified sue- n r cess the role of the Japanese ir. Osborne's play f. r when produced for the first time in New York. .. In passing it might he added that while w y residing on Wesley avenue, Mr. Osborne com- ti . pitted, another play which is probably now p ; undergoing the processe* preliminary- to pro- . r duetion on the stage. Another celebrity of indubitable merit— f ail celebrities are not so—came to visit Mr. - and Mrs. Osborne during their summer rusti- o : . cation by the sea. no other than Peter B. Kyne, -i s the creator of the immortal "Cappr Ricks." n, Messrs Kyne and Osborne are bosom C I friends, of kindred spirit, endowed with the C rarest of all virtue*, fkst of being able to ap- C j preeiate and rightly value each other's gifts j Without envy. h, It will be recalled that Miss Edna Thomas w s gave a recital at the Hotel .Flanders during a. , the past summer for the benefit of the Sea- . shore Home for Batae*. {■ [ One of the most interested among the an- f: die-nee present was Mi*.* Katherine Meisle, who , p t during the coming season will essay the lea.
