Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie ' j, v d By Mary Kllen Cain Twenty years ago this morning whistles blew and shrieked, and screamed; people rushed out Into the streets to Join the crowds crowds that cheered, and the World laughed, and wept War was over and Peace had returned to bide upon the earth forever. Then slowly the peoples of the world began to pick up the broken threads and the broken lives; they counted the endless rows and rows of crosses; and too, they figured the costa of the war In dollars and cents r-- the amount was shocking, astounding! Yet, this awful price had purchased for sterlty a lasting peace; this war had tanght the nations of the world the futility of war there never could he another war Thousands and thousands of weary khaki clad soldiers came home they were boys when they went Bojs full of energy and life; and they had smiled as they marched away. Now they were men. Men, old beyond their years, who had been through "Wars Inferno" they had been trained now they were to step to kill back Into tbelr places and go on 1 7 Remember the FIRST Armistice Day!

The three verses of in Flanders Fields were written, according to McCrea s commanding officer, Major Ueueral B. W . B. Morrison, during a lull in battle, and were pencilled on a page torn from a dispaten book. Mere is what Ueneral Morrison wrote about the poem: Tins poem was literally born of fire and blood during the hottest phase ot the second battle of Ypres. My headquarters were in a trench on top of the Ypres canal, and John had his dressing station in a hole dug in the foot of the bank. During periods in the battle, men who were shot actually roiled down the bank into his dressing station. Many tunes during the 1G days of battle he and I watched the chaplains burying their dead when ever there was a lulL .Thus the crosses, row on row, grew into a good-sizecemetery. We often heard the larks in the mornings singing high in the air, between crashes of shells and reports of the guns in the battery just beside us. John told me he had written the popTri Jbetween the arrival of batches of wounded.. Mere is the poem, copied here that we may realize what the boys in the trenches went through that the world might be safe for democracy, and that we might also get another glimpse, on this twentieth anniversary of that first Armistice Day, of the torch they handed to us: John ,1,7 3 Provo Mens Wear NEW CENTURY PRINTING Co.
