This a Day of Solemn Pride,
President Tells Nation
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—(By
Associated Press.)—President Wil
son, General Pershing and Secretary
Baker last night issued statements to
the Amertyin people on the occasion
of the first anniversary of the sign
ing of the armistice.
The president said to Americans
the reflections of Armistice Day
would be filled with solemn pride
in the heroism of those who died in
the country's service and with grati
tude 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 sym
pathy- with peace and justice in the
councils of the 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
will continue to have great influence
upon the progressive thought through
out 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 for an early accomplishment of
the terms of peace that shall complete
their work upon the battlefields of
France.

HALFHOLIDAYIN
OBSERVANCE OF
ARMISTICE DAY
Court House Closed, Too
But Business Goes On
As Usual
To My Fellow Countrymen:
A year ago today our enemies
laid down their arms in accordance
with an armistice which rendered
them impotent to renew hostilities,
and gave to the world an assured
opportunity to reconstruct its shat
tered order and to work out in
peace a new and juster set of in
ternational relations. The soldiers
and people of the European Allies
had fought and endured for more
than four years to uphold the bar
rier of civilization against the ag
gressions of armed force. We our
selves had been in the conflict some
thing moro than a year and a half.
With splendid forgetfulness of
mere personal concerns we remod
eled our industries, concentrated
our financial resources, increased
our agricultural output, and as
sembled n great army, so that at
the last our power was a decisive
factor in the victory. We were able
to bring the vast resources, mate- j
rial and moral, of a great and free l
the cause for which we fought.
Out of this victory there arose
new possibilities of political free
dom 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 re
flections of Armistice Day will be
filled with solemn pride in the her
oism of those who died in the coun
try’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 nations.

11 November, 1919.
GEN. PERSHING'S MESSAGE /
General Pershing made this state
ment:
On this first anniversary of the
armistice that brought fighting to
an end on the western front, we re
call with gratification the services
of the army and the country in the ,
war. The great army of young
manhood known as tho American
Expeditionary Forces was hurr>cd-
ly raised, equipped and trained to
meet a grave world crisis. Com
posed of youth selected for their
physical and their mental fitnesa,
it was developed into as fine a
body of men as the world has ever
seen. This force played a decisive
part in the war and demonstrated
that, while we are not a military
nation, the America.! boy nas in
him those qualities that go tc nnbo
up a perfect soldier. The achieve
ments of our troops on the battle
fields of France have become a part
of our history and need not be
again recounted here. Their pa
triotism prompted a spirit of self-
sacrifice unequalled; their set vices
have preserved our ideals and our
institutions.
Our armies have been demoblliz-
<d, md our cltizcp-aoldiers have
returned again to 'civil pursuits
with assurance of their ability to
achieve therein the success they at
tained aa soldiers, thus bringing a
new asset to the nation. With
broadened visions they return not
only with pride in the high stand
ards of American manhood, but
with a new conception of. its rela
tions to the duties of citizenship.
As wv pay tribute tc our fight
ing me-, we rememocr that solidly
‘“hind them stood the American
people with all cur resource! and
our determination. THs common
utsi :c has welded together our
people. These experiences safe
guard the future of America, and
enable us to look forward confident
Iv to tho development of a stronger
n.itlnnaUty and a deeper sense of
the oMigAtionx that inn upon us.
The exercise by the American peo
ple of practical patriotism during
the war was an avowal of our firm
adherence t< the principles of free
-ga.c.'iimeiit that will continue to
have great influence upon the pro
gressive thought throughout the
world. These ore things which
make this dnv fi*>i>il:c»nt.
JOHN J. PERSHING,
, General, U. S. A.
SECRETARY BAKER’S MESSAGE
Secretary Baker's message was
as follows.
A year ago the terse message
came from General Pershing: ‘‘In
accordance with the terms of the
armistice, hostilities on the front
of the American armies were sus
pended at 11 o’clock this morning.”
We await now the peace that is to
come as the fruition of the work
of our farspread forces. Mean
while their number has dwindled
and the forces which appeared be
yond the seas in numbers surmis
ing, friends and foes alike, have
gone back again fo their civilian
tasks. Some of their number un
happily remain in France, or will
be borne back to America as sym
bols of the sacrifice that war en
tails. While we mourn these dead,
we arc grateful for their achieve
ment and for that of their living
brothers, and in the name of both
we may hope for an early accom
plishment of the terms of peace
that shall finally complete thdir
work upon the battlefields of
Franco.

HEED OLD ADAGE
Ounce of Prevention Better Than
Pound of Cure.
With influenza again making in
roads into the health of the country,
the old adage, “an ounce of preven
tion is better than an ponnd of cure,”
never meant more than it does now.
A 3-ounce bottle of Dr. Williams
101 Tonic will save many pounds
uf cure. 101 Tonic contains quinine,
iron and magnesia. This it a proper
combination where cases of colds, la-
grippe, fever and malaria, as well
as “flu,” arc to be treated or ward
ed off.
During the influenza epidemic
which covered the country in Octo
ber, 1918, the sales of 101 Tonic
increased more than 500 per cent.
This proves that 101 Tonic is an ef-
fecthre treatment for this disease.
101 Tonic not only treata the dis
ease, bnt acts as a general tonic.
Get 101 Tonic at your drug store
—25c and 60c bottles. Accept no
substitute, for there is no medical
preparation sold which is like Dr.
T7i’"--nr V- 1"1 Tonic.—(adv.)
Despite the fact that no official ac
tion was taken making armistice day
a holiday in Americus, the day was ob
served “n their own way by many
citizens—and by the city schools.
Keeling that by all means this anni
versary of the greatest day in the
history of the world should not be
allowed to pass unnoticed by the
school children, Superintendent Ma
this ordered a half holiday in all of
the city schools, preceeding it with
short talks in three of the schools by
men who saw service in France.
Outside of the patriotic occasion in
the schools, the city was about as
usual, many people wondering why
nothing had been done in the way of
a celebration or making the day a
holiday. One exception was found
at the courthouse where at 11 o’clock
H. E. Allen, clerk of the Superior
court, himself a believer in showing
one's Americanism, nailed a typewrit
ten sign to the closed front door which
read:
‘‘This building is closed an
count of Armistice Day.”
‘ The High school students today lis
tened to J. G. Holst, manual training
instructor narrate some of his ex
periences as an officer overseas, fol
lowing which the entire school, nl
the suggestion of Principal Hale,
arose and stood with bowed heads for
a minute in memory of the dead
soldiers, among whom affectionately
remembered was Capt. Chas. G. Clem
ents, formerly instructor in Eng
lish in the High school. A number
of patriotic songs were also sung.
Major Jas. Fort addressed the pu
pils of the Furlow Grammar school
on his war experiences and the mean
ing of the occasion, and Evan T. Ma
this, who also served as an officer,
spoke at the East Americus school.
The observance of the day ■ in the
city schools followed a meeting of
the teachers of the city schools yes
terday, at which Snpt. Mathis sug
gested the urgency of impressing the
importance of the occasion to the
children. He deplored the fact that
Americus was not holding a real cele
bration, and took the local post of
the American Legion rather severely
to task for not assuming the lead in
auch a celebration when no one else
acted. Mr Holst, who was ons of
the organisers of the Legion here,
took up the defense of the organiza
tion.
- “We discussed the nutter,” said
he, “but decided that, inasmuch aa
Americus is about tho only city in
Georgia that hasn’t done the slightest
thing for her returned soldiers, we
did not feel it incumbent upon us
to sponsor such a celebration."
Whereupon Supt. Mathis withdrew
his remarks, recalling that what,Mr.
Hoist had said was true, and express
ing himself rather forcibly at the
apparent ingratitude of the commun
ity.
The American Legion will celebrate
Armistice Day with a banquet and
smoker for all ex-service men at 8
o’clock tonight at the Windsor Ho
tel.

In the Daye of Beaver Hete.
In the olden days In tbe United
States soon after the Revolutionary
war, a good beaver bat became a
kind of family heirloom, and was
hapded down from father to son. For
/rome strange reason It was considered
to be rather frivolous and extravagant
to be seen wearing a new beaver bat,
and It was the custom when a man
bought one to leave It out In stormy
weothcr before wearing It, to “take
the newness off."
Looking Backa Year
—and Forward
(From Tuesday’* Daily.)
One year ago at 2 o'clock this morning the writer of this
was rudely awakened in a Pullman berth by a frightful din out
side. The time of night and the noises of the railroad yard
indicated that was the city of Macon. If seemed the whole
of creation had cut loose and gone mad.* Whistles were shriek
ing everywhere bells were ringing, and there was a tremendous
din aoove the ordinary noise of the clanging switch engines. At
I I o’clock that night the train had left Atlanta. At that hour
a flash was expected momentarily over the news wires an
nouncing that the war was ended—that Germany had signed
the armistice. And it was apparent the din at this time was
set going by the receipt of the flash. Presently a newsboy',
voice was heard crying "Extra. Extral" And then the train
started proving away from the station and was soon on it,
way to Americus.
The news had come to the Macon newspapers too late to
catch the South' Georgia mail with the extras; not one copy of
those gladsome extras got onto that train, and as a result
it was not until 2 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, twelve
hours later, that an outside newspaper brought the story of the
signing of the armistice to Americus.
That is how a kind Providence permitted the present
management of The Times-Recorder to begin their career in
Americus by giving the people the greatest news story of 53
years, so far as it'gripped the people's hearts, before any other
paper, although ita equipment was extremely limited, and its
force was not prepared for issuing extras at the unseemly hour of
6 a. m. And so the world and The Times-Recorder were born
anew one year ago today.
Looking backward over the year, which seems all too
short, the management easily recalls daily kindnesses that
have been done it, daily efforts made to help, constant patience
with the shortcomings—for there have been many shortcom
ings. For all of which the public has our deep and sincere
thanks. We have tried to' be fair with our friends and pa
trons at all times; wo have told them something of our trou
bles and they have understood; we have takdn them into our
confidence when things were not as they should have been, and
they have not complained.
* To those of our friends who have been pleased with our
labors and our efforts to please during this first year we wish
to express our gratitude; to those who have expected more
than we have been able to give in the way of progress and im
provement, we will say we have not reached the end—we have
only begun. But we cannot rebuild and replace a business and
a plant, in a year nor create a capable organization quickly.
No. We have only begun. We have made some progress, we
believe all will agree, but we are a long way from thd goal. But
we are on the way. and the end of the first year sees the ac
complishment of a goal we had given ourselves more than two
