However, it has not' * really ended, nor can it end until the principles for which our soldiers fought have been fulfilled to the utmost. It is fitting that on this day we should re-ded iciite ourselves to “carrying on” by solemn decla ration within our own conscience. To do your part today in this re-pledging to principle, pause for a moment and recall th e principles for whch our men went willingly to the chancX of death—many to ’die L i You remember the phrasj on their lips and in their hearts: "A war tj> end war.’* Yet wars are not ended. They went beyond the seas into a hell of death and destruction that their sons and daugh ters and the ions and daughters of their brothers might be spared a like horror in time to come.
