Twelve years have passed since the armistice was signed. In that time the poignant sorrow which the enr tire world experienced during the war days has grown dim. We have how whole communities were plunged into mourning when the news came from the battlefields that their finest young men had been Killed in action. Indecd, so |little do we care now that we use the days for remembering the heroic dead as occasions for jollity and We no longer remember appalling thing that war have forgoften that 13- finest young men of the world were killed by war; that 23,000,000 were wounded, many of that they since incapacitated for We give little heed to that these dead were what an was. We them so seriously have died or are any service. the thought | not the weaklings and the degener- ate but the finest young men of the | nations. “Added to the cost of the war in human life is its cost in dollars and cents. The cost of the war was not a mere million dollars. Tt ran into billions. The Carnegie Endowment of International Peace has estimated ths figure at well over one hundred | and we eighty-six billions. If to this add indirect costs, such as the italized value of lives los crty and production losscs, ®he grand total reaches more than three hundred and thirty-seven billion | dollars. Truth Among Casualties “Armistice Day also serves to re mind us what a war costs a people morally and spiritually. Here are iosses which cannot be measurcd but which are real, nonc the les Kirby Page in his little book. War: Its Causes and Cure, says, ‘It has been well said that truth is the first falsehood are inherent in war. truth but expediency is the stand- ard.” Looking back at the war from the vantage point of twelve years of | peace, during which time many of the secrets of the war have been tcld, we recognize the force of his assertions. been so gullible. We wonder now how long the common | people would have supported their | | Rovernments if the real trutn about | the war had been published. “You and 1 now know that we were aroused to a tremendous fury | and hatred against the Germans by | still utterly false propaganda. I carry vivid memories of moving pic- tures T saw during the war days. pictures which convinced me beyond peradventure that the Germans were nothing short of cruel and exterminated. Let-Down in Morals “Truth is not the only moral cas- valty in time of wer, however. A general let-down of all moral stand- | ards is one of the inevitable accom- paniments of war. A characteristic of the war and post-war period is the light and frivolous way in which | sexual transgressions are treated. almost might suppose that is a virtue which no longer | cither desirable or necessary in the building of an upright and virile civilization. The of war is that in time only of war the Morals, ethics, culture, none of these count! ask is to win the war! All nkind ordinarily holds dear » sacrificed to achieve tha And naturally, in the post ar period we of this philosophy. If war with all its degradation and beastliness is so important then truth and honor and purity cannot be particularly desir- able even in times of peace. If war demands that these shall quished then why bother with the attempt to regain them afterwards? As 2 result it is quite possible that | the greatest josses of the war will be the moral field due to the blunt- ing of moral and cthical sensibili- ties. ligior supre War Kills Christianity the moral losses must iged the spiritual. One of the most calamitous happenings of Christian history occurred when war Dbroke out between the nations of Christendom.

STOCKINGS —_—————n of Jesus Christ abandoning this be- lief and going back to little tribal gods. |~ “Christian people’ became nation~ alists rather than Christians. Christian churches abandoned their great leader, Jesus Christ, forgo§ that love one for another was cene tral in his teaching, and became nae tional churches cagerly doing th# bidding of their military masters. Bg sanctioning the use of armed forc@ to seftle a dispute between Christian peoples the church helped shatter men's faith in good will and love as the greatest:power in the world. So, today, when Christian groups are crying for peace cynical men are wondering how sincere they arc in their ‘desire. When war comes again will they dare stand by their convictions? Or will they again join the big parade? Remembering the events of 1914 to 1918 there are those who believe that the brave pronouncements of the church on the subject of peace are empty ges- tures; that when war comes our church people will be men of war first and men of God last. For war { does that to men! It shoves God | into the background! It pushes the | Master out of sight where he will not disturb the cbnsciences of men | ~nd show them the awfulness of tho | thing they are doing! No Honor in War These are some of the costs of war. Once again it is well to ask if there is on God's carth any cause for war which justifies the terrific wasts | of human life and property; which justifies the appalling degradation of the moral and spiritual values of | human life? Perhaps someone will | reply, ‘Yes, there is national honor. | That is & cause worth fighting for. | Honor must be maintained at all costs.! Honor is a beautiful thing d men and nations glory in it, a3 | they should when it is untarnished by any evil thing. But it is well to ask what satisfaction an outraged | sense of national honor can find in { recourse to war. Do the lives of in- | nocent men avenge the wrong? Do the lies told about an enemy in timo of war make the insult easier to | bear? "Docs the price paid in satis fying national honor justify the sus- picion and distrust, the fear and | hatred war leaves behind it? V brutalizes. War arouses the baser |instinets. War destroys moral and cultural values. War destroys the very sanity of nations. Its price is too terrific! Too terrific to pay! So recourse to war, whether it be to satisfy nationai honor or to protect | 0il wells in a foreign land, is fast | becoming unendurable to thinking men and women the world over World Peace Nearer “World peace is nearer than it was twelve vears ago. I think. But 1 ometimes wonder if any who ara here today will live to see the ideal realized. We have a long road to travel. We have much to learn, And not the least of these lessons is contained in the inscription engraved lon the pen with which the Pact of | Paris was signed. ‘Si vis pacem pare pacem. If you would have peace prepare for peace! For cen- turies the motto ot the world has been, ‘In times of peace prepare for war! And war always has come! Those who would fight never are | disappointed! But if you are sin- cere in your desire for peace pre- parc for peace! Talk peace! Think | pewce! Work for cace! You will be as the Psalmist was. When you are for peace the rest of the world will cry for war. But if you persist peace yet will reign upon the earth.” Program Tomorrow Another program sponsored by |the ladies’ auxiliary of the Legion {will be held at the Junior Hign school tomorrow afternoon at 2:45 o'clock. Attorney Victor F. DeNezzo |of Hartford will be the principal speaker. The exercises will be open to the general public. Practical Joke Fatal; Policeman Kills “Bandit” New York, Nov. 11 (#) cab drivers thought they would have fun early today with Policeman Jo- seph J. Palermo, new on the fores. One of them ran up to Palermo erying out that a nearby restaurant was being held up. Ofticer Palermo rushed to tha place. A man was just coming out, but when he saw the policeman he backed up. Witnesses said tha man made a move as though to draw a pistol. The policeman took no chances. He fired, sending two bullets into the head of Thomas Ottati, a cab driver. Tt was just a practical joke on a new policeman; but Thomas Ottatd is dead.
