EDITORIAL
This issue marks another milestone in the limited but steady progress of our magazine. It is our Sixth Anniversary Number. Jose R. de Capriles, one of the founders, has submitted an article describing the start and early days of the magazine and it is probably appropriate for the Editor to give a few current statistics.
For instance, the month of November, just past, saw more new subscriptions received than in any month in the present Editor's memory. The subscription list is well distributed geographically including practically every State in the Union and most of the Protectorates. Our list of Army subscriptions is growing rapidly as our fencers have been going into the Service. It is no small task just to keep up with their changes in addresses..
We have received some favorable comments upon our decision to publish six issues a year to be available at a subscription rate of $1.00. Naturally, for bookkeeping purposes we urge our subscribers to renew at the $2.00 or 12 issue rate to avoid being plagued by the problem of billing one-sixth of our subscription list every issue. It is gratifying to see that at least half of our older subscribers renew by the longer route.
In a world confused and littered with the debris of war we are again conscious of the spirit of Christmas as it glows out upon us from home and store windows. Wars may come and go but Christmas has survived nearly 2,000 years. In five of those The Riposte has not failed to send its good wishes to its subscribers and in this its sixth Christmas season it again sends its heartiest wishes for a MERRY CHRISTMAS, A HAPPY NEW YEAR and A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.
