Shortly after 1 o’clock, when The Ogden Examiner received the news that the armistice har been signed. there was a hurried conference over telephones between men interested in the planning of a celebration. The decision was reached to inform the general public of the splendid news at 5 o’clock and to have preparations made by that time for a genuine cele— bration of the biggest news that has “broken” in the history of the world. The Southern 'l’acific bandan were notified about 2 o’clock to be present at the city hall promptly at the early morning hour and all readin assented. A few of the enginemen in the rail— road yards became somewhat enthu— siastic upon hearing the news and started the blowing of whistles. How— ever. when they heard of the celebra— tion plans they quit until that hour. Meantime The Ogden Examiner was bombarded with inquiries from out—of—town points over the long dis— tance telephone as to the authenticity of the news. which had reached most of the smaller cities and towns. .‘xmong those calling The Ogden Examiner during the early morning hours were residents of livanston.

Neutrality is no longer reasonable or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples. and the menace of that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will. not by the will of their people. We have seen the last of neutrality in such circumstances. The choice we make for ourselves must. be made with a moderation of counsel and a temperateness of judgment befitting our character and our motives as a nation. \\'c must put excited feeling away. Our me— live will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of the plinic 1 might of the nation. but only the vindication of right. of human right, of which we are only a single champion. We will not choose the path of subin ssion and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and our people to be ignored or violated.
