I looked this question up and found the underlined word is "declaration" and that it is supposed to be used as a verb in the new sentence.
Answer:
After reframing the sentence, we have:
The collector declared the local holiday.
Explanation:
The noun "declaration" is formed by adding the suffix -ation to the verb "declare". To use the verb in the sentence, we will need to make quite a few changes. The simplest way to do it is by using the active voice, which makes "collector" the new subject and demands the use of a verb to express the action of declaring. With that in mind, we can reframe the sentence in the following manner:
The collector declared the local holiday.
The verb "declared" is in the past form because the original sentence also used a past structure.

Allusion is a figure of speech, which refers to an object or a circumstance from an external context. In the passage given above, the author is questioning the political morality behind war. War usually result in great suffering for all involved and the author is wondering, if is morally correct for countries to be settling their differences by mean of warfare.
