Armistice Day was again celebrated on November 11, eight years after the World War. But although eight years have elapsed since the roar o f guns ceased on the battle fronts, the scars of war still mark the face of civilization, and the issues resulting from it are far from a final settlement. From a material standpoint it is doubtful whether Germany has suffered as much as some of the allied nations which forced her to agree to the stern terms of the Treaty of Versailles. All Europe is still in an unset tled state, and much suffering is still endured by the poorer classes, while governments are in dire straits with respect to their financial obligations. In nearly every country the difficulty of international relations is accentuated through internal strife of great er or less significance. Dissatisfaction over territorial adjustments, reparations and war debts is widespread, in spite of the efforts o f the League of Nations to smooth out the differences which exist among the na tions. The only encouraging feature o f the situation is seen in the acceptance o f the Locarno treaties and the entry of Germany into the League. These promise to avert actual warfare for the present at least. But the fact remains that eight years after the armistice the outlook for the prosperity and happiness of the great mass of European people is by no means bright.
