By Captain GEORGE L. KILr1ER.


 THE assassination on June 2S, 1914, of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne, quickly resulted in the outbreak of a world war. When Austria Hungary pressed her demands upon Servia for reparation Russia championed the lit- tie Slav nation. Germany declared that her Austro- Hungarian ally must have a free hand" in dealing with Servia, and the storm broke.
 The first two years of the war, from August, 1914, to August, 1916. were marked by the subjugation of nearly all of Belgium, part of northern France all of Servia and the greater part of Russian Poland by the German armies Russia conquered and then lost large | slice of Austrian territory in Galicia Following the invasion of Belgium in August, 1914, Great Britain and France entered the war as the allies of Russia 1 The German march toward Paris. l through Belgium and France, was eff | fectually checked at the river Marne early in September, 1914, and in the weeks following the opposing lines in France and Belgium were established practically where they remained for the next two years.
 Italy entered the war in May, 1915, and attacked Austria by land, east and northeast of Venice The first year of the war saw the fall of Warsaw and the extension of the German front to the Dvina river, midway between War saw and Petrograd. In 1916, the sec 1 ond year of the war, the Germans at- | tackled with>gr force the French for tress of Verdun, but were unable to re- | duce it. This event was followed by concerted drive by the French and Brit ish in northern France against the Ger man lines along the Ancre and Somme | rivers.
 Throughout the first two years vari- ous local campaigns were inaugurated by the allies, notably for the capture of Constantinople Ohe Turks having | joined the Teutonic powers late in 1914), with an expedition in Mesopo- l tamia to support 1t. The move against the Turkish capital failed, and the forces were transferred to Greece to operate against the central powers in the Balkans, where the Bulgarians were fighting for Germany.
 The greatest naval battle of the war, fought off Jutland in May, 1917, was draw, and the large vessels have not taken decisive part in the progress Of the war. Tn 1915 Germany started system of drastic submarine warfare, primarily intended to blockade the ports of her foes. Belligerent and neu- tral alike were made to suffer in the submarine zones throughout 1915 and 1916, and an indirect result of Ger many's naval policy was the entrance of the United States into the war.
 Grounds For Allies Optimism.
 Almost at the close of the second year of the world war the British war minister, Lloyd George, speak ing for the allies, said, Victory Is beginning to flow in our direction" It had been flowing in all directions whenever it flowed at all up to that 1 time. So the third year of the conflict opened with optimism ruling in the camps of the allies. On the west front at the end of July, 1916. it was as sured that the French would hold on l at Verdun, that the German line on the Somme and the Ancre was not i'm

America In the War.

Two events of sudden development in the third year of the war may have a deciding infiuence-namely, the en- trance of the United States as an ally of the entente powers and the collapse of Russia's aggressiveness. During the early months of the year the submarine dispute between this country and Ger many quieted down. A U boat brought the war into western Atlantic waters by sinking neutral ships off Nantucket shoals in October, but the German pledge to safeguard neutral lives was observed. On Dec. 12 Germany and her allies. Austria, Bulgaria and Fur key, proposed peace negotiations, nam ing the United States as one of the intermediates. On the 18th President Wilson sent q note to all belligerents asking them to name their terms
 Meanwhile the allies replied to Ger many, declining a conference, and Ger many replied to Wilson, evading the
