BY JOSEPHUS DANIELS Seccretary of the Navy in President Wilson's Cabinet Raleigh, N. C.. Nov. 10. (UP)— The 10 years since the signing of the Armistice have been years of disappointment and disillusionment. On that high day the 4,000,000 mJ. under arms believed that formal signature was not only the end of that mighty struggle, but that their sacrifices had brought a permanent peace when war would no longer curse mankind. They had responded to.the call to the colors upon the appeal and assurance that “this is a war inst war” and the most illumi- ing of Wilson's points, accepted by all the warring nations, Wwas some permanent association of na- tions to p#ovide a substitute for war. The soldiers, and most of the people of the earth, hailed No- vember 11 as a day when the radi- ance of Bethlehem game promise of “peace on earth.” Ten years later we find that the | confidence of that day has passed, leaving a drifting world still grop- ing in the medieval belief that Force alone was dominant.

Let Politics ‘On Day Armistice Was Agreed On Stillness of Morn Rent With Shrieks of Factory Whistles Broadcasting Good News to Public, Exactly 10 years ago tomorrow New Britaln was suddenly startled at 4 o'clock in the morning by the! universal blowing of factory whistles and the chiming of church bells. The streets were soon filled with curious citizens, asking the reason for the unholy din of nolse. The war is over! The war is over! Such was the cry that filled the streets and passed from one tongue to another. Wild joy en- tered the heart of every person who heard the glad tidings. Extra editions of newspapers were soon out on the streets. The pa- pers stated that the war would come to a close at 11 o'clock that morning. Suddenly at 11 o'clock the city was drowned in a din of noise as the telegraph wires ticked the glad news that the armistice had really come to pass. The factories were emptied in a few minutes, school children were dismissed and busi. ness came to a general standstill. A wild and joyous mob streamed along the main streets and turned the city into pageants of joy. Dig- nity was thrown to the winds and everyone, from high city and fac- tory officlals to the workmen, unit- ed in expressing their happiness, 15,000 in Parade A parade was formed at 2:30 Capital of France Becomes Gay Again When Bulle- ! tin Announced Horrors of War Were Ended. Those who had: the distinct plea- sure of being in Paris 10 years ago November 11 will undoubtedly re- member that day as long as they live and pass the stories of the in- cidents of the day or rather days that followed, on to coming gener- ations. History could not record everything, and many of the inci- dents which occurred were personal cxperiences, permanently inscribed in the minds of those who partici- pated in the celebration. The writer had the pledsure of being in Paris, luckily picking the center of French culture and art as the place for a wel learned rest, commonly called “furlough,” .fter 10 months in the “works.” The per- iod spent there could not very well be called days of rest, particularly those following that Monday when ali Paris and the rest of the world with it “went wild.{" On November 10 everyone scem- ed on edge. That night all Paris was dark as usual, the streets not over- crowded, while the cafes, the usual place of congestion, seemed more crowded than usually. Rumors were spreading that the war would soon terminate, but no one seemed cer- tain. People talked of the Austrian and Turkish submission and the surrender of the German army, but few ventured to determine the pos- would rend the air with shouts of “Ia guerre est finia.’" It looked as if the words were the only ones of any importance in the dictionary at the time. Women Drag Captured Guns . Out on Place de la Concorde, which was filled from all sides with war trophies ranging from little trench bombs to big howitzers and airplanes taken from the Germans, an army of girls and women har- nessed themselves to the pieces that were not stationary and pulled them away from their places, and placing any number of soldiers on them, rolled them off to various parts of the city. The following day the square was practically devoid of any of the souvenirs, while some of the smaller cannon could be found fhiles away from their original place of location, standing in streets, in yards and on sidewalks. ‘The Boulevards.des Caoucinnes Italiennes, the Rue de la Paix, Place de I'Opera, Place da la Republique and all important thoroughfares and squares were swirling currents of humanity, toting bottles of vari- coloured and sundry beverages and singing popular songs or humming bacchanalian tunes. Hotels were filled to capacity with those who wished to celebrate privately, while theaters and restaurants became the meeting place of thousands, but many a dinner and supper was lert untouched, and many a plot of a play or a moving picture was never followed in the wild excitement that prevailed. Even the most staid, the most sober-thinking and most pessi- mistic were forced to imbibe of thd beverage of popular excitement and happiness. That night, for the first time in four years the lamp-lighters felt free to light the street lamps at full glow and change the globes from dark blue to white. Advertising signs were also for the first time re- lighted and the streets at night be- #an to take on a much brighter ap- pearance. 3 Even Cafes Weat Dry There were no little outbreaks of serious personal injuries, resulting from the too frequent use of in- toxicating liquors, and the hospitals, which already were overcrowded with private patients and wounded soldiers, were called upon to min- ster to the many who sustained in- jury in the fervent expression of joy. Few cases were even reported where murders were committed, which in many cases were attributed to over excitement during feverish argu- ments. All in all however, the cele- bration was one of the largest im-. promptu affairs the capital has ever witnessed, the excitement ran high for three days and many of the cafes and restaurants exhausted their supply of beverages, which otherwise scemed impossible during normal conditions. Such was Paris on November 11, 1918. Foch Says Napoleon ‘Still Guards France Paris, Nov. 10 (—Napoleon, the | great soldier, gets a new tribute of {admiration from Marshal Foch the generalissimo of the greatest army the world has ever seen. In a little volume, “A Soldier's Words,"” just published, the marshal comments with approval on the methods of the cmperor. The chief of the ‘great war says this to the Little Corporal: “Sire, sleep in peace; even in your tomb you still work for France.” Parents and Teachers Of High In celebration of American .Edu- cation Week there will be a meeting of the Senior High School Parents and Teachers' association on Mon- day evening at 8§ o'clock.

It is an event that looks in the right direc- tion, though, of course, it is noth- ing more in itself than a “spineless treaty” without any effective ma- chinery agreed upon by the signa- tory nations. It has been welcomed as a magnificent gesture. Let us hope that it will be followed by a real substitute for war so America can quit stalling and carty out the pledge for peace it made to its 4,500,000 soldiers and fought in the World War and to all the world.

The «following morning, that memorable morning, told the story. At first there was no intimation that a great moment in the history of mankind was in the offing. Every- thing seemed normal with the ex- ception of larger groups gathering at different points and discussing the rumors. Unofficlal reports had it that the German headquarters were sending a runner to the French quarters, but outside of that noth- ing definite could be learned. Large crowds of eager Parisians, soldiers of allied armies, and provinclal vis- itors congregated around official and semi-official bulletin boards. There were eager crowds ready to rent the air with cries of joy, or leave down- hearted. La Guerre Est Finis! Suddenly a man appeared on the steps, his face beaming with joy. He posted a bulletin and at the same time & large mass of people sent out a cry that nearly shook the build- ings. Germany was ready and will- ing to talk about peace! This was 11 o'clock Monday morning. The cries ot joy soon combined with tears of joy. The layman and aristocrat, the charwoman and the lady of distinc- tion, ofticer and private, joined in & great demonstration of joy ond es- change of kisses. It was a moment of greater joy than the greatest single victory on the front—it spell- ed victory from two angles—a vic- tory for the armies and a victory for the people who for four lopg years despaired of the fact that such a great calamity had been thrust upon them.
