1918?
It meant that 4,000,000 American men and women in uniform, struggling against a foreign foe, could lay down their arms. It meant that
trillions of men and women in factory and forge, feverishly supplying the government with materials for winning the war, could cease their
labors and join in the world’s praises of victory. It meant that millions more of men and women at the wheels of trade, endeavoring to feed and
clothe the world, could have a holiday. It meant other millions with frosty heads and anxious hearts, compelled by age and sex to remain at
home, could draw a sigh of relief and thank Almighty God for another American victory in arms.
7 It meant that the combined efforts of all the human forces of America had been necessary to defeat a foe that ruled by blood and death! It
meant that Americans had learned again the lesson that “United we stand and divided we fall.”
What Does It Mean Today?
y l Shall today proclaim a lesser victory.
Shall America united in 1918 be America divided in 1923.
Shall we fight less valorously against the forces, of selfishness
and thoughtlessness and envy and malice, in our midst, than we
did against a foreign foe?
Shall labor and capital, employe and employer, rich and
poor, wrangle and fight over petty grievances while their indus
tries are idle and their children cry for bread?
Shall radicalism thwart reason and firebrands rout justice?
Let Armistice Day Be a Call
to Americanism
f * J '';Jhe united effort of all America is as necessary to save our country as it was in 1918. There may be no martial music, no clash of arms, no
inspiring tread of marching troops, to spur us on. But America is calling us to duty. The traditions of Americans are urging us onward.
The spirit of our fathers is leading the way.

LET us forever cherish the memory of
those who fell in defense of liberty and
honor those who fought and won freedom’s
victory. *
COSTA’S LUNCHEONETTE
“THEY SHALL NOT PASS!”
AMERICAN arms and men helped that
resolution triumph—and today in the
mind and heart of every true American the
memory of our boys who sleep here and in
Flanders’ fields and the sacrifices made by
the living are glorified. From our hearts
“They shall not pass!”
GEORGE C. THOMAS
Mayor of Athens
LET US RENEW OUR
LOVE AND LOYALTY
THOUGH five years have passed since the
first Armistice Day, our reverence for
the fallen and love for the living who fought
should not be less now than then.

THEY fought for principles as dear to
them and us as our homes. Let us
always remain loyal to them.

fl [N all America today the fifth anniversary of Armistice Day
! r
means the renewal of memories for the men who made such
heroic sacrifices that peace might come again to a war-stricken
world—that autocracy should not triumph, and that the princi
ples of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” might be
brought nearer the achievement of all peoples.
To the American manhood—the soldier type that fought for such glorious
privileges and the type that gave material substance to aid in winning the
victory—all honor and praise is due and accorded. We will not forget.
THE COMMERCIAL BANK OF ATHENS
THE sacrifices and patriotic services of the American soldiers will always
be "forget-me-nots” in the hearts of the people. We are enjoying the fifth
year of world-peace they fought to secure.
