As the war recedes into the past the material loss becomes more apparent. The destruction of life, the maimed and the orphaned reaching many millions, the loss of scores of billions of property, the crushing debts and taxation and the human misery of the time which will be projected into the distant future, reveal what a crime it was to permit such a catastrophe to envelope the world. No nation profited by it. If there was any gain it must be sought for In spiritual Talues. Even those appear to be diminishing.

The unselfish patriotic fervor of that day has suffered a relapse. Instead of a willingness to give all for one's country, there is too much disposition in the world to avoid meeting all the different kinds of national obligations here a.nd abroad imposed by the war. People should realize that they cannot be avoided. In some way they will have to be discharged. The nations can only recover from the war by a continuous exhibition of the spirit of sacrifice which those terrible times produced.

Unless the increased moral power then created is preserved the war will be a tota loss. GALVIH COOLIDGE. (One of a series of daily dis.Mitches written for the Louis Post-Dispatch and other newspapers by the former President ot the United States.) said the General, now chairman of the American Battle Monuments Commission. "Twelve years have elapsed since the ending of the greatest war of all time. I The dead comrades rest peacefully.

But it is the duty of the living ve rans'of the great war so to guide the destinies of this nation that should war come it will find the American people prepared, materially and spiritually."

The British Empire today kept the twelfth anniversary of the armistice with ceremonies of silence and prayer. An empire-wide two-minute silence was observed at 11 a. while King George, symboliting the grief of his realm at the war losses, stood with bowed head in prayer at the cenotaph, where just two years ago today he caught the cold which led to his long and serious illness King George suffered no 111 effects from his attendance, it was said In authoritative quarters after his return to Buckingham Palace.

Around them and the hollow square in Whitehall as far as the vision could penetrate through the gray haze toward Trafalgar Square people were massed in unbroken silence. As the chimes of Big Ben on the Parliament towers crashed out the hour a salute of guns in horse guards' parade signaled the beginning of the great silence. Nearly every man, woman and child in the country wore a Flanders poppy emblem made by former service men on behalf of the veterans' fund. King George and Queen Mary bought theirs just like other folk from some of the volunteer army of 300,000 who sold the tokens. Outside Westminster Abbey there is a field of remembrance planted around a white cross which once marked an unknown soldier's grave in France.

As the veterans sold the poppies they were stuck in the ground near the cross until it was surrounded with a blanket of red. PRESIDENT PUTS WREATH ON TOMB Special to the Ptwt-Dispateh. WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.

DUTY TO INSURE PEOPLE AGAINST WAR Kellogg Pact, Arbitration Treaties, League of Nations, Naval Limitation, Named as Agencies of Conciliation and Security. By the Aswviated Press. WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.

A renewed appeal for adherence by the United States to the World Court and a broad participation of this country in friendly efforts to maintain the peace of the world was made today by President Hoover. In an Armistice day address before the Annual Conference and Good-Will Congress of the World Alliance for International Friendship Through the Churches, the Fresident pointed out the various treaties and methods that had been worked out for peaceful settlement of the difficulties among the nations of the world. "The World Court Is now a strongly established institution amongst 45 nations as a continuing body, performing and facilitating justiciable determinations which can only be accomplished sporadically under special treaties of arbi tration." the President said. "Its permanence Is assured and from It there is steadily growing a body of precedent, decisions and acceptance of law in the formulation of which we should have a part, not alone In our own Interest but In advancement of peace." The President pointed to the Kellogg-Briand pact for outlawing war and the development of other treaties among nations as methods of fostering peace. He added that.

In adoption during the past year of the Ivondon naval treaty, one of the major frictions among the great naval Powers competition in naval construction had been disposed of. President Hoover's Address. Text of the President's address follows: "Upon this day all thoughts must turn to our heroic dead whose lives were given in defense of the liberties and Ideals of our country. Their contribution to these priceless heritages was made without reservation; they the full measure of their Intelligence and energy and enthusiasm, and life itself, forfeiting their portion of further happiness all that we and our children might live on more safely, more happily and more assured of the rreclous blessings of security and peace. A solemn obligation lies upon tin to press forward in our pursuit of those things for which they died.

Our duty is to seek ever new and widening opportunities to insure the world against the horror and irretrievable wastage of war. Much has been done, but we must wage peace continuously, with the same enf-rgy as they wajved war. "This year 19 30 has been rendered no'able in peace annals in the achievement of the London naval treaty. That has disposed of one of those major frictions among the great naval Powers that is, com-peMtion in naval construction and it has made a sensible advance in th-s reduction of warships.
