HISTORY. -REPEATS Another memorable occasion
in which allied arms triumphed over Ihe Germans is
recalled by ihis reproduction of tho front page of ihe
La Grande Evening Obserer of November 11, 1918.
It gives the first news of the surrender of the forces
of Kaiser Wilhelm almost 26 ' 2 years ago, bringing to
an end a war in which tho military, might of ihe
United States had been directly engaged 19 months.

YANKS TRAIN FOR WAR WITH WOODEN GUNS V
The speed with which industry armed America for war will go
down in history as one of the world's economic phenomena. Up -'
to Pearl Harbor, America's production was a record, but only
about one-liltieth of it was for n:lional defonse, and 7 or 8 million
liersons were unemployed. . .
U. S. armed services were training with makeshift, wooden guns
and make-believe tallica. Conversion to war production presented,
gigantic problems of directing the nation's manpower and materials "
into the most expedient channels as soon p! possible - .'- . ..
