NOVEMBER 11, 1928—PART 1. ARMISTICE DAY BY MAJ. GEN. CHARLES P. SUMMERALL, Chief of Staff. . As we look back to 1918 we find that time has dulled the memory of y detalls. Our concern for emmunition, for rations, for relief, or for support is less vivid. We recall less clearly the hardships, the discomforts and the restric- tions. What do stand out, however, are the patriotism. the valor. the fortitude, and the spirit of seif-sacrifice which characterized our ns and our soldiers. hen we entered the war science and human ingenuity were engaged in the age-old race of producing new weapons of offense and effective measures to neutralize them. Our countrymen, despite shortages in new weapons and lack of experience in new methods, rose to. the emergency through a fervor which countor-balanced handicaps. The charac- teristic of individual initiative again proved «he measure of the strength of our Nation, Today as we review our experiences we ~~ that, though weapons and methods had hangod, the one thing which remained as it as in Joshua's day and in Hannibal's day as the human element—the element which n the final test of physical encounter spelled or defeat. So in our celebration of let us pay respect to those all- ant attributes which are the enduring es of our national strength—Iloyalty, patriotism, courags, and unselfishness—the indispensable characteristics in our citizens which brought victory to our cause 10 years ago. ien.

The v,>nument erected by the Aus- trian® w0 the memory of Archdut> Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, and his wife, whose assassina- tion here June 28, 1914, was the pre- cursor of the world conflict, was de- stroyed by the Serbs .when they took Serajevo in 1918. They replaced it with a tablet on the house in front of which the crime was committed. This tablet, in turn, was ohliterated by the Serbs thomselves upon the petition of th> municipality of Serajevo, 1t being argued that the phraseology of the inscription was of- fensive to Austrians, many thousands of whom still visit the ancient Bosnian canital. The circumstances of ths shooting of Archduke Franz Feridnand and his wife Sophla 14 years ago are still fresh in the minds of thos> who witnessed that tragic event which was to envelop th> entire world in the flames of war. The archduke, a nephew of Emperor Franz Josef of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was paying his first official visit to Serajevo, Although Bosnia had been a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire since 1908, there was no place where the archduke would have becen in greater danger of his life than Serajevo, for the Slavs resident there looked upon him and his uncle as two of the prin- cipal barriers to their uniting with their brother Slavs in Serbia. ‘Warnings Were Ignored. Ignoring the warnings he received beforehand upon the perils of such a visit, especially upon the greatest of Serbian nationa] holidays, the archduke insisted upon fulfilling his mission. It was a splendid clear Summer day. The city was a picture of peace. Y there was a latent fecling of uneasi- ness in the streets, especially among the Serbian population.

'0IL FIRE UNCHECKED, ' 38 DERRICKS IDLE| California Petroleum Flames Defy | Control After Burning 36 Hours. Loss Put at $1,000,000. By the Associated Press. | 10S ANGELES, November 10.—Fire !in a thicket of oil derricks at Santa Fe Springs, southeast of here, today had forced 38 units into idleness. From a new oil well th» fire was fed by subterranean gases. With a supply of fuel apparently inexhaustible, the flaming “gasser,” which caught fire yesterday, continued to defy the efforts of a small army of trained fire fighters. | Already half a dozen derricks on nearby wells have been destroyed and a dozen others hastily pulled down. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000 to- day. The “gasser” took fire, it is thought, when flying gravel set up fric- tion enough in the casing to produce the -devastating spark. The well has burned more than 36 hours with little | hope for controlling for meny days |more. It came in from a depth of {6,029 feet. It is owned by the Bell View Oil Co. of Los Angeles. Pipefitters, working double shifts, were laying strings of water lines today. {PLAN TO DIS:I'RIBUTE 100,000 Copies to Be Given Out in Capital by Community Bible Readers’ League.
