We thought that the Armistice mar’ked_,thc end of war—of all wars. That was why welhad lent our bit in the war to and wars. We thought that the reek of human blood, the gurgling screams of the dying, the awful stench of the dead, the blind men, the lame men, the pitiful gibbering of those whose reason couldn’t survive, was the price that all the world paid to learn that no war ever has 21 Victor. That price was paid. At Yprcs, at Gallipoli, on the Somme, in the churning mud of Flanders, in the bullet—fiecked shade of the Argonne, and in the ripening wheat at Chateau Thierry. And when the “din” of silence, the shock of former days must be the theme. 1 ARMOUR TECH NEWS had paid a price of blood and tears and learned a lesson. Something, somewhere, has happened to our lesson for today scarcely one generation later we find Little children in Italy learning the manual of arms before they have mastered their A--B-C’s. Germany in patriotic frenzy launched on an all— absorbing development of arms and national dis— cipline. Spain locked in the throes of the bloodiest, most brutally shocking civil war. France nervously ringing herself within a cir- cle of steel fortresses bristling with the long slen- der bayonets of her numerous conscripts. England, on the one hand striving to give some authenticity to permanent peace efforts at Ge- neva—and on the other hand renewing her mili~ tery and naval strength that she may be equal to “emergencies” when the lid again blows off. In Russia, China, Japan, the seething, foolish turmoil goes on. It is time for us to review and share with those around us the lessons we learned eighteen and nineteen years ago. It’s time for the American Legion to use every influence within its far reach— ing organization to be sure that all citizens know as definitely as we know that defended neutrality is our safeguard, Americanism our bulwark and experience the source of our knowledge that no war ever has a Victor.——“0ne of the Editors" of flu», monthly publication of Post 46 American Le- gzon. The Elections Polling the largest electorial vote ever recorded in the nation’s history, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected to succeed himself in the presidency of the United States. Despite the violent opposition campaign con- ducted by his opponents, the nation has, apparent— ly accorded to President Roosevelt a tremendous vote of approval of the policies of his administra- tion, and has expressed an overwhelming confi- dance in his leadership for the next four years. But the significant fact brought to the front by this campaign is that the United States has en- tered into the dawn of a new era, an era in which the federal government will play an increasingly important part in the administration of the na- tion’s affairs. Through the eras of birth and development of American Business the pioneering spirit of the American people with their characteristic quali— ties of “free initiative" and rugged individual- ism” erased all existing frontiers. The nation had become a large, united, and interconnected com— munity.

Last week a man was getting shaved, shampooed, massaged, maniA cured, and shined in a certain bar- bor shop. Suddenly a man rushed into the shop, glabbed the customer and yelled into his ear: “Hey, Scar— lotti! Your house is on fire!” Half shaved, half shampooed, half mas- saged, half manicured, and half shined, the customer leaped from his chair, tore out into the street at a full gallop, and then stopped dead with a curse, “What the hell am I running for?
