ARMISTICE DAY
HOW SHOULD IT BE OBSERVED ? LONDON, Oct. 23. The much-discussed question of whether Armistice Day should be celebrated only as a remembrance of the glorious dead or as a day of rejoicing for victory and peace is again M the fore. Earl Haig telegraphed to the “Daily Express” : “I recommend that Armistice Day be observed throughout the Empire as a day' of remembrance. In the forenoon peo■le of all ages should attend thanksgiving service, with a parade of veterans at the local memorial; in the afternoon games suited to the climate should be played; in the eveiig tho people should rejoice according to their taste.”—A. and N.Z. Cable Assn.
