CENOTAPH CEREMONY.
SHOULD TROOPS BEAR ARMS? INTEREST IN LONDON. (Australian Press Association). LONDON, Oct. 28. . The suggestion that troops participating at the Cenotaph ceremony should be disarmed is arousing interest. It is urged in various quarters that it would be a symbol of the nation’s desire for permanent peace. The Daily Herald states: “If disarmed troops at the Cenotaph contribute a wider realisation of the horror and futility of war, let them be disarmed.” ' The Daily Chronicle states: If soldiers are present, they cannot but introduce unreality by disarming. A soldier disarmed cuts a sorry figure. Do without soldiers at the Cenotaph or retain them, but, if they are retained, one cannot ask them to be ashamed of their equipment.”
