The city council, after enjoying bouquets and dodging brickbats that went with being both for and against the proposed belt line Thursday night decided neutrality is the better part of statesmanship. The pacifist stand was accomplished after much private discussion which wag scheduled to last only 10 minutes but continued 15 minutes overtime.

When the council reconvened, Alderman W. G. Marquardt proposed a resolution, dictated by City Attorney R. M. O'Connell, which wiped out all record of nrevious action on the disputed question.

It passed, by 11 to 3 voke. Wiped Clear. The resolution read: "We the council resolve that all action heretofore taken in reference to the belt line around Bloomington be and hereby is ex punged from the records."

Hawk wanted to correct an unfounded report and assure the councilmen the Association of Commerce has been and is still for th belt line. Councilmen voted to re ceive the letter and "refer it to the council as a whole." The letter read: "I have recently been advised that you were told that the Bloomington Association of Commerce had reconsidered its position In re gard to the belt line, and had withdrawn its previous Indorsement "I am writine you as former chairman of the committee on the belt line, and also in my own individual capacity, to correct seeming misunderstanding.

"With all thankfulness we look back to that Armistice day which ended the World war," Mr. Wil-'liams began.

"We remember how a war torn world- turned back to peace with profound gratitude to the God who gave it and to the men w-ho paid for it with their lives. Lost as Well as Gained. "Yet we miss the sterner virtues that war brought forth. In eome Jvay life was nobler, richer then. In some way we lost, as well as pained, on that Armistice day." On the courthouse dome, as Mr.

Williams spoke, an American flag at half mast. "War produces the greatest extremes in human life. It reveals jnen magnificent in sacrifice, and revolting in brutality. It- is a sacrament and a' shambles. 1 "Though war does breed splendid and essential virtues it breeds them at too terrible a cost.

Peace must breed in us the same virtues without that cost. Old and young listened, uniformed veterans of the war and fresh faced Sons the Legion, also in uniform. "Hardihood Without War."

tVollrmb Kenneth W. Moor Clarence K. Jaeobssaa worth writing. War teaches this lesson. The spirit of discipline is no spirit of slavishness.

It is the bigness to recognize that for the good of all, some of us must exer cise authority over the rest of us, and the rest of us for the good of all are bound in honor to obey them. This is the lesson we must learn at home, at school, on play ing field, in the life of crganiza tion, community, party and nation. "We believe that the spirit of self sacrifice can be cultivated in peace as well as in war. The greatest glory of war is the almost incred ible spirit of devotion it engenders. Asks for New Standards.

"Heroism becomes epidemic over half the world. Yet in warfare, greed and brutality become epi demic also and too often it is they that persist in the peace that fol lows, rather than the spirit of sacrifice and devotion. "We have not inspired youth in peace as we inspired them in war. It is for us to rear new standards of success. We must pay public honor where it is due.

Let us honor the heroes of science who alleviate human suffering. Let us honor the heroes of public service who seek not how much they can get out of their country but how much they can give to it. Let us translate the devotion of war into the devotion of peace. "The courage of war left all the world at once proud and humble. It is for us to convert this martial courage into civic courage, recog nizing that it is higher, rarer, more difficult, more needed.

We must honor the courage of every day, the valor of clean, uncompromising lives lived in common honor and devotion." I. S. S. C. S.

Williams finished speaking, a vocal solo, "Roses of Pic-ardy," was hea-d over the amplifying system, then Mr. Williams read a poem, "The Dream of the Soldier Dead." The courthouse clock banged 11 and somewhere a church bell rang. The Legion firing squad gave a salute over the crosses which had been set up in the court yard and Donald Abbott sounded taps on his bugle. The red jacketed band of the Illinois Soldiers and Sailors Children's school struck up the nation al anthem at the close of the memorial moment of silence. The service was over.
