who brought abcrat the greatest military offensive of all history in the fall of the Battle of the Argonne. resulting in the defeat of the German forces, and making possible the armistice on November 11. The will to win, and quickly, was the spirit that finally liroke through the caution of Marshal'Poeh. The battles in which Americans had participated prior to the great offensive served as forceful arguments to change the Foch policy of concentration and training'for the greater contemplated push of the spring of 1019. It was Woodrow Wilson again, who brought aoout the signing of the peace terms at a time when other great councillors felt in a punitive mood, and this masterly statesmanship saved us an incalculable loss of lives that would have without question been our lot in the year following.

Millions were waiting shipment to France from our shores, to be subjected to a bitter winter of privation and its accompanying sickness and death, and it is entirely possible that the Battle of the Argonne would have been a more difficult military problem, with greater German resistance, had the Germans been allowed the months of winter to strengthen and reform their forces. Hundreds of families throughout this valley.have.rea- son to utter prayerful thanks today, on this ninth anniversary of the signing of the armistice. Our young men of the valley in great numbers were in the training camps of the nation. Hundreds were already across the sea and behind the lines, ready to move to the had already gone through the baptism of fire, and a few from this valley had paid the Supreme Sacrifice. Another six months, and these men of ours would all have been crashing through the tangled forests of France, engaged in the mightiest of all who can say what turn of events in that winter of 1918-1919 might have come to prolong the war.

not only through the summer of 1919, but indefinitely, in a staJmate again, with allied nations crumbled and out of the fighting, and America carrying on with its own millions, and alone? We rejoice that the armistice came when it did, because it meant that no more of the blood of Europe was to be shed. And we rejoice because it meant that our effort had been successful, and that it need not be that we send more of the finest flower of our youth into that unpicturable hell. We reflect for a moment in sorrow and pride, and remember those loved youths of this valley who went out and did not return. Another ten years, and we will have a clearer picture of that great cataclysm, for it is still too close to us to evaluate it and analyze it. We know that the world is not at peace, the vast'effort expended in the world war did not banish human jealousies and cupidity and unholy ambition and treachery.

It Sid not do that thing which we spoke of in exalted bring peace forever into the world. We do not know the value of this great war. or whether it might be, as the pessimists declare, a complete loss to civilization, so far as the war itself is concerned. But we do feel that all human endeavor, even war, leaves somewhere a lesson that directs civilization forward. We do not know the time when we shall reap the benefit of such lessons, if such there be, for time is something that seems to be unmeasured in the Inscrutable Plan.

It is probable that this vast upheaval, as we see it, is a minor episode in the general scheme, and important only as we may profit by it. But today, we have with us the poignant memories that arc personal and intimate We can dismiss causes and effects, and dwell again with remembered memories of field and camp, of the perilous sea, of the home fields that fed the men under arms, of the mighty wave of single-minded effort in financing, of friendships in common cause found under the banners of mercy at the machine and the bandage table. In the mercy of God, may it never come if it is so willed that it come, let it find us as brave, and as cooperative and as splendid in sacrifice as in the beginning of this decade now drawing to completion.
