JUDGE A. J. STEVENSON OF ‘ DANVILLE TO DELIVER TALK IN COURT HOUSE LEGION POST HAS PROGRAM
Ciluens Of Grefncastle And Putiwni County Invited To Join In Observance.
Judge A J Stevenson of the Hendiicks County circuit court will deliver the Armistice Day address this evening in the court house at 7:U0 P. M. Judge Stevenson is a world war veteran and is very active in American Legion work, and is a good speaker. The Putnam County Post of the Legion has arranged an interesting! and appropriate program for the cvei ing and the citizens of Greeneastle and Putnam County are invited to join j n tiie observance of Armistice Day. > Fourteen years ago today upon a : world touni with the tumult if war' there descended a solemn silence, the
silence of the armistice.
Four dark, long years of hate and flame of war had torn it's way aerosw the nation and made of Europe an international battle field leaving in it's wake death, destruction and de vn ittion. The detonation of battle re .erberated to the far parts of the tarth in vibration i of hatred, sorrow
.uid pain.
Upon this scene of turbulence came U quiet peace, and with it the gratitude and rejoicing of millions jf |ce-
jle all over the world
Comingling with our reverent re1 membrance of the honored dead jfratitudo and rejoicing ;tre reflected each succeeding year in the eelebra ! tion of Armistice Day, a tribute to
the cause of i>eace.
The one hope that sustained the world, that gave courage to the soldiers during the Great War w-as that our efforts, if successful would put an end to all war. For that millions of men sacrificed home, health, for-
tune and life.
Strange and menacing forces are working in the world tiday. The most -wtod pniKiptfo for which our fore (fathers fought and for which our 'comrades died are bring attacked with jsconi The root of this disson-riii iJ ustice,«r erecd or cruelty. In Maec matt arise unselfishness and Jiustice and mutual trust, the qualities Ithat characterized the lanmy in war If ue adhere to these qualities we can face the future without fearThe American Legion is striving with the utmost fidelity and levotioii for the establishment of * 11 ting peace, an eternal Armistice Day. that |the service and sacrifice ..f cur ' oin "rades may not have 'been in vain.

American Observers After Surveying Gain:-, and Losses Find Only Slight ( beer WASHINGTON. Nov. 11, (UP) — The 14tb anniversary of Cue military end of the World war found victors and vanquished alike struggling with its econi mic aftermath. Here in the nation's capital, pa triotii- societies planned pilgrimages 1 to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the crypt of Woodrow Wilson in | Washington Cathedral. These cere- ' monies are dramatic symbols of thou- j .amis like them in other cities and tow us. Thanksgiving for peace and victory , came us an interlude in a new war ^ against starvation and economic chaos, born, economists say, in the mad days of 1914-18, when the world turned from production to destruc-
tion.
Surveying gain- and losses from the “war to end wars'' and to “make the world safe for democracy," American observers found little to ehier them. Among credits they found a unified America, its national spirit forged in the fires of France, and the birth of a world movement to
ward international peace.
Hut the list of debits was longer It included redoubled armament burdens, f300,000,()00 diverted from nor ina I productive channels t<> payment
at Versailles. The peace of Europe
is at stake.
So, in the vvurld'-, foreign offices, tulay it is not so much of a time for thanksgiving ns for contemplation.

HAVANA. CUBA, Nov. 11 (UP)— Central Cuba has been devastated by a terrific tropical hurricane which piled a wall of water on southern coast towns and took a toll of dead officially announced at hundreds. A rumor was brought from Uamaguey, in the center of Camaguey Providence, that 1,000 had been killed or drowned in and around Santa Cruz Del Sur, on the south coast, while the report wa., not officially confirmed, the ministery of communications in re announced 300 dead in Santa Cruz and 400 missing, while 55 know n dead were counted in other places. Survivors reaching Camaguey from S uita Cruz Del Sur said the . ea swept over the low-lying costal towm, which h.ul a population of 2.200, to a depth of 20 to 25 feet.
