ARMISTICE DAY PROCLAMATION
Whereas, a joint resolution of Con- gress approved Nov. 4, 1921, "to de- clare Nov. 11, 1921, a legal public holiday," provides as follows:
"Whereas, Armistice day, Nov. 11, 1921, has been designated as the ap- propriate time for the ceremonies incident to the burial of the unknown and unidentified American soldier in Arlington national cemetery; and
"Whereas, this unknown soldier represents the manhood of America who gave their lives to defend its integrity, honor and tranquility against any enemy; and
"Whereas, the nations of the earth are on that date joining with the United States in paying respect and homage to their unknown soldier; therefore be it,
"Resolved, by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Uni- ted States of America in Congress as- sembled, that the President is hereby authorized to issue a proclamation de- claring Nov. 11, 1921, a holidy, as a mark of respect to the memory of those who gave their lives in the late world war, as typified by the unknown and unidentified American soldier who is to be buried in Arlington na- tional cemetery on that day; and the President is respectfully requested to recommend to the governors of the various states that proclamations be issued by them calling upon their people to pause in their pursuits as a mark of respect on this solemn oc- casion."
Now, therefore, I, Warren G. Hard- ing, President of the United States of America, in pursuance of the said joint resolution of Congress, do here- by declare Nov. 11, 1921, a holiday, as a mark of respect to the memory of those who gave their lives in the late world war, as typified by the unknown American soldier who is to be buried in Arlington national ceme- ery on that day; and do hereby recom- mend to the Governors of the several
states that proclamations be issued by them calling upon the people of their respective states to pause in their usual pursuits as a mark of respect on this solemn occasion.
And, in order that the solemnity of the occasion may be further empha- sized, I do hereby furthermuore re- commend that all public and church bells throughout the United States be tolled at intervals beween 11:45 o'clock a. m. and 12 o'clock, noon, of the said day, and that from 12 o'clock, noon, to two minutes past that hour, Washington time, all devout and pa- triotic citizens of the United States indulge in a period of silent thanks to God for these valuable, valorous lives and of supplication for His di- vine mercy and for His blessings upon our beloved country.
In witness whereof, I have here- unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and forty-sixth.
WARREN G. HARDING.

FOCH'S FAMOUS MESSAGE
At the request of William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana Univer- sity, Marshal Foch, when in Indiana- polis wrote on parchment a copy of the famous telegram sent by him to general headquarters during the first battle of the Marne, in September, 1914. The original was written at the deciding moment of the battle, when the Germans were near Paris. The message, translated, was:
"My left is giving way, my right is falling back; consequently I am or- dering a general offensive, a decisive attack by the center. FOCH."
The autographed copy of the mes- sage will be framed and preserved at the university.
NEW DOLLAR DESIGN NOT TO SHOW BROKEN SWORD
The new dollar now in process of coinage and expected to be available for circulation about Dec. 30, 1921, will not bear a broken sword, Ray- mond T. Baker, direcor of the mint, announced recently.
Two designs for the dollars, which mark the first change in the Ameri- can silver dollar in twenty-five years, were submited, Mr. Baker said. One design showed an American Eagle clutching a broken sword, but tne other omitted the broken sword. The latter has finally been accepted and approved, the director said.
The new dollars will portray gener- ally the advent of peace and be sym- bolic of the new era on which the na- tion through the armament confernce is entering, treasury officials said.
The first Labor day parade was held in New York city September 5, 1882.

CITY PAYS HOMAGE TO MEN OF WORLD WAR- BRAVE STORM OF WIND AND SNOW
Rain Falls on Uncovered Heads as Bells Toll-Pay Tribute to Unknown and With Fitting Program on Anniversary of Armistice Day, November 11, 1921.
Rain fell on uncovered heads as Bloomington observed Armistice Day, November 11, 1921.
A cold downpour which started at nine o'clock in the morning fell al- most continuously throughout elabo- rate ceremonies in which hundreds of people of the town and University honored the living and dead of the great world war.
Fitting Ceremony.
At eleven o'clock the courthouse bell started tolling in honor of the Un- known Soldier in Washington who re- presented the spirit of the hundreds of lives sacraficed by the United States in the great world war.
World war veterans of Monroe county and of the University united with students of Indiana University, members of the R. O. T. C. unit and braved a cold, drizzling rain on Jor- dan field and stood at attenion dur- ing the program of ceremonies which commemorated the third anniversary of the signing of the armistice, No- vember 11, 1918.
The presentation by Elmore Stur- gis, an I. U. graduate, of a bronze memorial tablet on which was in- scribed the names of those Indiana University men who gave up their lives in the world war; the parade of the R. O. T. C. unit, in honor of the unknown hero whose body lay in state at Washington; the firing of taps in honor of the fallen, all the ceremonies took on a reverent and pa- triotic character reminiscent of the old days when the United States was engaged in the war.
Veterans Lead.
A long, thin line of ex-service men, some of them limping from wounds received in the great conflict, was the first group to march past the stands. They were followed by the band and the R .O. T. C., of which four members were detailed to carry the memorial tablet.
of
Lieut .- Col. Paul V. McNutt, master ceremonies, introduced Sturgis, who presented the tablet to the Uni- versity in behalf of his class, and President William Lowe Bryan accep- ted the gift on behalf of the Univer- sity. President Bryan, in his accep- tance, voiced a plea that the tablet might not be forced to remain long in that "ramshackle building," Assembly Hall, but might, though the genero- sity of students and alumni, be housed in a fitting edifice, that is to be erected through the Million Dollar Memorial Fund campaign.
Compliments I. U. Cadets.
The Rev. C. W. Harris, student pastor, of the Presbyterian church, of- fered prayer, and Major Albert T. Rich, of the Indiana National Guard, delivered the principal address of the morning. He praised the loyalty and
the patriotic spirit of Indiana men in the world war, and complimented the R. O. T. C. unit upon the excellent showing made this year.
Then the band broke forth with "The Star Spangled Banner" as the national colors were hoisted from half mast. Crowds gathered in the local churches during the noon hour for a few moments of worship.
"Buddies " Entertained.
The War Mothers of Bloomington served a real dinner to all ex-service men of Bloomington, Indiana Univer- sity and Monroe county, in the G.A.R. room of the court house. The men enjoyed the dinner very much, and had a fine get-together meeting, and as "buddies" renewed old acquain- tances.
About 150 World War Veterans of Bloomington and Indiana University were entertained at a smoker and re- ception given for all service men by the Cootie club, an organization of University men who have seen action in major engagements overseas, Thursday afternoon at the Sigma Chi house. A general "rest camp" time was had among the "buddies," in which good smokes and a liberal sup- ply of apple cider helped each to re- call days of yore, when the memories brought forth by the occasion were stern realities.
Major O'Brien Talks.
Major R. E. O'Brien of Indiana Uni- versity's efficient R.O.T.C., which has won "distinguished college" for the school in competition with all the col- leges of America for the two past years, under his guidance, gave a very fitting talk, in which he commended veterans of the military service in their co-operation in encouraging the R. O. T. C.
"Buck" O'Harrow of the University Pharmacy, a Bloomington boy, who was also a member of the Cooties, as an overseas man, gave the boys a good, "heart-to-heart" talk, and cussed the Major in a manner which demonstrated his ability as a "good" soldier.
Major O'Brien called "Pop" Hall from behind his "bush" for a little humor of his characteristic line, which "Pop" wound up by reading a poem he had composed for the occasion.
Major Albert T. Rich of the United States Regular army, who has been detailed to assist Adjutant-General Harry B. Smith of Indiana in the great National Guard organization, in which the State of Indiana at the present time outclasses all other states of the Union, gave the vets, from buck private, to ranking officer, a feeling of fellowship, as he recoun- ted incidents in the "line of duty" which recalled the muddy trenches and frontline action to those present. The quartet was recalled many
times by enthusiastic encores for their excellent rendition of popular and classical vocal music, which the boys greatly appreciated.
Armistice Day, 1865.
Grandfathers, fathers, uncles and great uncles of the A. E. F. remind those youngsters that there is another date beside November 11 that is bright on the calendars of war. It's Sunday, April 9, 1865, the anniversary of the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Armies.
What was that "armistice day," or rather that unconditional surrender day, fifty-six years ago like? What happened there at Appomatox Court House, Va., when the Gray gave in to the Blue? The kaki would like to know. Let John M. Surface, one time eighteen-year old private in the Sev- enth Indiana volunteer infantry, and entitled to a wound chevron for a bullet hole through the right shoulder, received in the Battle of the Wilder- ness, tell about it.
"It was Sunday, April 9 ,1865, and a fine day," Mr. Surface said. "Just one week before we'd captured Rich- mond, the capital of the Confederacy. From there, we'd fought a rearguard action with the retreating Confeder- ates seventy miles west to Appomatox Court House. We were in a sparsely settled, rolling country, tobacco plant and not much else sprouting in its red-black soil. We camped near the little town and stacked arms. It was an out-of-the-way place, but great things happen at little places."
"Sure, Senlis was that kind of a joint," agreed the youngster from the A. E. F.
"We were encamped along an old washed out road, all of the regiment that hadn't been left at the Wilder- ness and other places," the older vet- eran continued. "Across a ravine through the timber, we could see the old McLean house. We had seen gen- erals and their staffs entering it and coming out all day and we believed we'd seen flags of truce."
"Bet the camp was chuck full of rumors," the A. E. F. ventured.
"It was," admitted the former pri- vate of the Seventh Indiana. "But finally we saw a group of horsemen trotting up. I recognized the old for- age cap and the hook nose of Gen. George Meade, commander of the Army of the Potomac. We hollered 'Hey, general, have they surren- dered ?' "
"What! All you buck privates hol- lered, 'Hey General ?' "
"Certainly, we were old campaign- ers together," replied the old-time Yank. "The general hollered back, 'The whole army of Northern Virginia has surrendered. You get to go home, boys!' "
"Then we started to celebrate. There were from sixty thousand to one hundred thousand Union soldier around about. Every flag in the army was unsheathed. We wrapped our officers in the colors, put them on stumps and made them make speeches. All the din and noise was terrific." "We were quiet after 11 o'clock,"

offered the A. E. F., "but some of us got into Paris later."
"But most all were wild to go home," the old Yank said, while the young one nodded vigorously and sym- pathetically, "That was April. After the grand review in Washington I was discharged in July."
"Some speed," commented the A. E. F., enviously. "Say, that's the way to end a war."-Kansas City Star.
H. G. Wells, in his introduction to "Outlines of World History, says:
"War becomes a universal disaster, blind and monstrously destructive; it bombs the baby in its cradle and sinks the food- ships that cater for the non-combatant and the neutral. There can be no peace now, we realize, but a common peace in all the world ; no prosperity but a general prosperity. But there can be no common peace and prosperity without common historical ideas. Without such ideas to hold them together in harmon- ious co-operation, with nothing but narrow, selfish and conflicting nationalist trad tions, races and peoples are bound to drift to wards conflict and destruction."
THAT PEACE MAY LIVE.
When our war thoughts are dead, and all is true, In this greatest world of all Creation ; Then can man-kind a life of love pursue- We believe, and few but know, our nation Is but leading a world inclination Toward a course which will surely give To humanity a Peace Foundation- Then, thank God, and pray that peace may live !
When man-kind learns to love, all will rue Savage war, and no combination For power can be made by the few-
Then will man lose that fascination For selfish deeds ; else true salvation Must ever flee, as any fugitive,
Driven by war's cruel damnation- Then, thank God, and pray that peace may live!
In Europe, Asia, and lands more new, Dire devastation and starvation Tell hard tales of what war will do- And we, each one, must start termination Of war, and live our appreciation For God's grace, ever sensitive,
By deeds of true humiliation-
Then, thank God, and pray that peace may live!
We must, with firm determination,
Know that Truth, in love's demonstration,
Gives all peace with life most positive- Then, thank God, and pray that peace may live!
NAMES OF MONROE COUNTY HEROES WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE FOR THEIR COUN- TRY'S CAUSE IN THE WORLD WAR
They gave their tomorrows To lessen the sorrows Of our today !
Then, we must pass it along With gratitude in our song, Lest all decay !
In all ages since the world was in its infancy, mankind has honored and loved the memorials of those who fought for the rights of the weak -but, can we, as mortals every appre- ciate the sacrifice of those men who made the supreme sacrifice, gave their lives in the great world war for demno- cracy. Greater honor can never be in heaven or earth, than to give one's life for what we believe to be right.
As did the soldiers of both North and South sacrifice their all for the cause they believed was right, so with added strength of purpose did
Monroe county's sons give their youthful strength, sacrificing all per- sonal ambitions, home and love, upon the altar of war in an effort to free the world of autocracy for coming generations.
Let us offer a prayer of gratitude to our God of All, as we pay our humble respect to the memory of the men from Monroe county who gave their lives in the great world war, which ceased with the signing of the armistice, November 11, 1918, and ended in the greatest victory for de- mocracy the world has ever known.

Names of Men Who Fought and Died for the Preservation of the Union Holds
High Place in Honor of Nation-Names of Local Heroes Who Gave Their Lives in Service From 1861-1865.
"No more shall the war cry sever, Or the winding river be red ;
They banish our anger for ever When they laurel the graves of our dead !
"Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the Judgment Day ;
Love and tears for the Blue, Tears and love for the Gray."
Monroe County sent heroes into the undescribable tortures of hellish war since before the county was organized, and these sons ever showed the valor of true sons of America in their deeds of unflinching bravery.
