Four years ago, at a little cross- roads in northern France, was signed the armis- tice which brought to an end the greatest war of all time. In that war America took a leading—perhaps the deciding—part. So, when our boys laid down their arms and started home, they did so feeling it was a job well done. For, whatever may have been the motive which prompted the nations of Europe to go to war, the one great, dominating American idea was that it was “a war to end war.” Certainly this was the idea in the minds of the more than 5,000,000 American buddies as they flocked to the colors, offering to their country all they had to give. That was surely what made bearable the hard- ships they had to endure. That must have been deep down in the hearts of the 2,000,000 stalwarts who crossed the sea, and it must have been that which inspired the nearly 50,000 who spilled their blood on foreign battlefields or died “over there” as the result of wounds. But our heroes have been betrayed. War has not been ended and the world has not been made safe for plain folks. The world is still living under a precari- ous armistice which may be broken at any time. Europe is aflame and war is always just around the corner. And America is more than ever likely to be involved in any war that may come. Europe is hating America as Europe never hated America before. Folks over there blame us with hav- ing blocked the treaty of peace and league of nations, on which the whole hope of world peace depended. Perhaps those in charge of our destiny may now read a rebuke in Tuesday's elections. It is there for them to read. Meantime times have changed but little since No- vember 11, 1918. The world is still sitting on powder keg; it is still living under a truce. TODAY’S PROBABLE LINE-UP California Berkey Witter. Position left End Left ‘Tackle . left Guard .
