Dr. Dye arrived here from McConnelsville, Friday af afternoon, - ternoon, afternoon, shortly after his mother's death."

Following the supper, the speak speaking - ing speaking which was extemporaneous, was continued, Rev. Gillilan acting as toastmaster. The first speaker was Dr. C. M. Stull, who took his hear hearers - ers hearers by storm with a recitation in humorous reminiscence, of some of his experiences, and glimpses of army life, finishing his talk with the recitation of two original poems, which he wrote under the inspira inspiration - tion inspiration of certain occasions, while in the army. Others to speak were Capt. A. A. Harrington. He stated that all day his mind had gone back to the scenes of three years ago when he was on the front. While the Americans were glad the armis armistice - tice armistice day had come, and Germans glad too, and ~\g, it the French who were most .glad. He stated that for four yeart the Ger Germans - mans Germans had occupied French towns, and French people had seen nr.body during all that period but tiWr most hated enemies, the German*-, He stated that in a small French village on Armistice day, when the Germans had been driven out, in less than an hour the place was dec decorated - orated decorated with American flags, which had been previously made secretly in hidden places, and of such ma material - terial material as could be gotten together.

He commenced by stating that Armistice Day brings back a flood of memories. He referred to the honor that was to be bestowed upon the burial in Arlington, of the un known dead American soldier such honor as had perhaps never been bestowed before in America, since there were tributes of flowers from countries all over the world. But the tributes he said were not for this one soldier alone, but the sym symbol - bol symbol of the tributes for all the Amer ican soldiers who gave their lives in the late- War. In this respect America did for her soldiers what other of our allies had done. Eng England's - land's England's unknown soldier was given the greatest burial honor that coun try could bestow, when he was bur buried - ied buried in the historic Westminster Ab Abbey, - bey, Abbey, where the bodies of all the notables of that great nation lie. France buried her unknown sol soldier - dier soldier beneath the "Arch of Tri umph Italy, hers on one of the Seven Hills of Rome. The body of America's unknown soldier will rest in beautiful Arlington, and he is enshrined in the hearts of loyal Americans, who will not have to sing Kipling's "Lest We Forget," for he and others like him will never be forgotten.

Following the song by Mr. Wilson came the address which was made by Rev. Hal Lloyd, pastor of the Unitarian church in Marietta. The main thought running through his address was the relation of the unfx to the whole—how each carries its own burden of importance and how each suffers if the other is affected in an adverse way. He carried the thought from the birth of this na tion to the present time—showed how it was exemplified in the his tory of the thirteen colonies. He referred to the Civil war and to the duty each state owed to itself and to each othe^. state, and to the United States—a combination of all the states—or units. Coming down to more recent times, he showed how Germany, with a few satellites undertook to dominate the rest of the world—showed how that nation had an undermining weakness, and that weakness was the forgetting or not understanding that she was but a unit in a whole. Thus in violat violating - ing violating the rights of other units—na units—nations, - tions, units—nations, Germany plunged the world into an abyss—a great and awful war, costing tremendous loss in life and treasure.

The speaker stated he was proud of the vote Ohio gave for the ad adjusted - justed adjusted soldiers' compensation, but he was not proud of those t\*j com munities in this county where a ma majority - jority majority of their citizens voted agatnst it. He said however that he would take a charitable view, and express expressed - ed expressed as his opinion that it was due to lack of information on the part of the voters. Which, the speaker said, would we prefer—to pay a small American tax for this purpose, or to pay tribute to Germany, which would have been the case had not America won the war. He asked the bovs to be patient if their com pensation sometimes seems slow in coming, and he assured them that there is no better evidence of the svmuathy and feeling of our people toward our soldiers than the over overwhelming - whelming overwhelming vote given adjusted com compensation - pensation compensation in Ohio. Dr. Naylor said that real patriotism was exemplified in what our soldiers did that our boys fought for something worth while, for the country that stood at the front,—America.

Carrying the thought* of the unit being a part of the whole and the whole a combination of the units, all working separately and together at the same time, and still us using - ing using the analogy of the human body, our thoughts are taken in this connection into the higher and spiritual realm, and to the won wonderful - derful wonderful words of the great apostle Paul as recorded in the 12th chap chapter - ter chapter of first Corinthians, where he said: "For the body is not one mem member, - ber, member, but many. If the foot shall say, because I am not the hand, I am not of the body is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall, say, because I am not the eye, I am not of the body is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hear hearing? - ing? hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of thera in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one mem member, - ber, member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body."

All Day Meeting at Duncan Falls On Armistice Day an all day meet meeting - ing meeting of the Duncan Falls W. C. T. U. was held at the home of Mrs. J. C. Melick. Quite a number were pres present. - ent. present. The forenoon was spent social socially. - ly. socially. At noon two minutes were ob observed - served observed in silent prayer as a tribute of love to the fallen heroes, after which a bountiful dinner was served and enjoyed. In the afternoon the meeting was called to order by the president Mrs. Rose Davidson. Af After - ter After the devotional and business session, a report of the state conven convention - tion convention held at Toledo, was given by Mrs. M. M. Reasoner of Zanesville. A vote of thanks by the society was afterward given to Mrs. Reasoner for her splendid report. Two select readings wore given by Miss Beatrice Melick and two by Mrs. ReasoTier, all of which were higlTky enjoyed. The meeting closed with the usual benediction.

While not on the program Hon. Charles H. Fouts was called upon and responded with a short address. He spoke of the different occasions on which he had attended gatherings at the sanatorium, some in the heat of summer, others at different sea seasons - sons seasons had noted the changing scenes but he emphasized the fact that there was one scene that never changed that was, that Old Glory was always seen, and the spirit of true patriotism was always present. He expressed his pride in the state in passing the bonus amendment, was proud of its law making bodies, since houses of the state legislature, passed it without a dissenting vote. He hoped that men would never be asked again to die for the flag, but they are asked to live for the flag, and it is the duty of America to lead the nations of the world, and to car carry - ry carry out the Ideals for which our sol soldiers - diers soldiers fought,,
