Washington.—P resident Wilson,
General Pershing and Secretary Baker
Tuesday issued statements to tho
American people on the occasion of
the first anniversary of the signing
of the armistice.
The president said to Americans
that the reflections of armistice day
will be filled with solemn pride in the
heroism of those who died in the
country's service and with gratitude
for the victory both because of "the
thing from which It has freed us and
because of the opportunity it has given
America to show her Sympathy with
peace and justice in the councils of
that nations."
The exercise by the American peo-
ple of practical patriotism during the
war, General Pershing said, was an
avowal of their firm adherence to the
principles of free government that wil.
continue to have great influence upon
the progressive thought throughout
the world.
Secretary Baker said that while
mourning its dead, the nation was
grateful for their achievement and for
that of their living brothers, and that
"In the name of both we may hope l'or
an early accomplishment of the terms
of peace that shall complete their work
upon the battlefields of Prance."
President Wilson's message follows:
"To My Fellow Countrymen: A year
ago today our enemies laid down their
arms in accordance with an armistice
which rendered them impotent to re-
new hostilities and gave to the world
an assured opportunity to reconstruct
its shattered order and to work out
in . peace a new and juster set of
international relations. The soldiers
and people of the European allies had
fought and endured for more than
four years to uphold the barrier of
civilization against the aggressions of
armed forces. Wo ourselves had been
in the conflict something more than a
year and a half. With splendid forget-
fulness of mere personal concerns we
remodeled our industries, concentrated
our financial resources, increased our
agricultural output and assembled a
great army, so that at the last our
power was a decisive factor in the vic-
tory. We were able to bring the vast
resources, material and morale of a
great and free people to the assist-
ance of our associates in Europe who
had suffered and sacrificed without
limit in the cause for which we fought.
"Out of this victory there arose new
possibilities of political freedom and
economic concert. The war showed us
the strength of great nations acting
together for high purposes and the
victory of arms foretells the enduring
conquests which can be made in peace
when nations act justly and in further-
ance of the common interests of men.
To us in America the reflections of
armistice day will be filled with sol-
emn pride in the heroism of those
who died in the country's service and
with gratitude for the victory, both
bdeause of the thing from which it has
freed us and because of the opportun-
ity it has given America to show her
sympathy with peace and justice in
the councils of nations.
"WOODROW WILSON."
The first anniversary of the sign-
ing of the armistice and the ending
of hostilities in the world war was
observed generally Tuesday through-
out the United States. Governors of
nearly a dozen states had proclaimed
the day a legal holoday while many
mayors through proclamotions and
public statements called attention to
the significance of the day.
In 1918.
Here are the momentous words in
which the world was told of the sign-
ing of the armistice and the ending
of the war on November 11, 1918:
With the American Army on the
Sedan Front, Nov. 11, 2 p. m.—Thou-
sands of American heavy guns fired
the parting shot to tho Germans at
exactly 11 o'clock this morning.
London, Nov. 11.—It is officially
announced that the armistice be-
tween the allies and Germany has
been signed. The announcement was
made by Premier Lloyd George. He
said: "The armistice was signed at
5 o'clock this morning and hostilities
are to cease on all fronts at 11 o'clock
today."
Washington, Nov. 11. — President
Wilson issued a formal proclamation
at 10 o'clock this morning announc-
ing that the armistice with Germany
had been signed. The proclamation
follows: "My Fellow Countrymen:
The armistice was signed this morn-
ing. Everything for which America
fought has been accomplished. It will
now be our fortunate duty to assist
by example, by sober, friendly counsel
and by material aid in the establish-
ment of just democracy throughout
the world.

QUEER KIND OF OLD CODGER
Tybalt Totter in Fair Way to Be Read
Out of the Aged Men's Pro-
tective Union.
"I have reached the age of eighty-
three years," admitted old Tybalt
Totter, "and yet I do not think that
a man is only as old as he-ee—hee!
liee 1—feels, and that all the comely
widows are after me, merely because
they treat me with civility. I have
never had much cause to complain of
anybody's lack of respect for the aged
—I find that the aged generally get all
the respect their behavior entitles
them to. And I have found that the
average busy citizen Is not deeply in-
terested in the trivial happenings of
1854 and thereabout.
"As well as I can remember, the
weather back yonder was usually just
about the same as it is now. I cannot
say that I am greatly surprised to And
profiteering going on, for to the best
of my recollection a considerable pro
portion of the people have hogged
each other at every chance they got.
But what is especially queer about me
Is that I do not make a practice of
denouncing and raving at young peo-
ple for cutting the same fool capers
that I did when I was their age."—
