THE SECOND ANNIVERSARY

Today the French nation is honoring her noble dead by interring the veterans of an unknown Poilu in the Are de Triomphe. England likewise bows in reverent memory of her heroes by placing the body of an unknown "Tommy" in her most famous shrine, Westminster Abbey.

Though our sacrifices were small in comparison with those of our Allies, America did show her mettle in the war. Thousands of men laid down their lives in France; and it is with them that we must not break faith. To them we owe a trust--a trust that we will do our share in working for and maintaining international peace; a trust that every individual will do his part in rebuilding a devastated world; a trust that the youth of this nation will prepare itself, as best it can, for meeting and solving the great problems of this new era to come.
