Twenty-three short years it lasted for us, even less time for our traditional allies. We note that there is some hesitancy about pro- claiming another such day for the ending of the last unpleasantness. It was some day in August, the exact date having slipped our mind. In fact, we would be happy if the whole thing could slip our mind. We have no idea who makes up the collective mind to have such days, but wherever he is he hasn't even hinted the matter yet. Perhaps it is felt that if proclaiming armistice days gets to be a habit, there soon would be | no working days left all year long by the end of the century.

But something leads us to believe that when ‘quits” was cried, that's just what happened. It is nice to have a holiday, of course. All of us sometimes forget the idea behind each of the days set aside during the year, in our eagerness to sleep in or take off for a day in the woods. We think of the holiday too often in terms of “another day off.” But it would suit us wonderfully if there never was oceasion for any more Armistice Days—with the only exception being perhaps that day in August that has!the events of the past years and —— = s slipped our mind. sick, due to cruelty and hate.
