the world has been suffering shall emerge

The veteran leader of organized labor,
Samuel Gompcrs, sent forth Il greeting
summoning every worker to put away his
immediate cause Of dissatisfaction and
throw his whole strength into the balance
against the Kaiser. He pointed out the
Importance of the year to labor as follows:
This war is in the last analysis a pco-
pies war-labors war. The final outcome
will be determined in the factories the
mills and shops, the mines, the farms, the

diers proceeds with great rapidity Trotzky
is reported rs anxious to spread the phi
loSophy Of the Maximalists by fomenting a

Meanwhile Germany begins demanding
more concessions. She demands that Rus
sia give up all the land now held by the
Kaiser, and that she take cognizance Of
the proclaimed independence of Poland,
Lithuania, Courland and portions of
Esthona and Livonia. It is proposed that
general elections be held in these districts
to determine whether they shall be recog-
nized as separate states.
Then suddenly comes the news that
peace negotiations have been broken off
as result of Germany's refusal to with
draw her troops from Poland and other
occupied portionV Of Russia. TrotzHy

Returning to America, one encounters
unconditional loyalty to the President and
the war measures of the nation pledged in
the New Years editorials Of the press.
"The vast majority Of the civilized people
of the world have only one wish for the
New Year-peace," said "The New York
World" but it added this must be peace
with Prussianisn1 banished. "Thc New
York Herald' urged that "thc nations
which stand for liberty must be prepared

In the annual reviews of the military
situation the Allied disappointments Of the
year were frankly admitted collapse
Of Russia, the heavy but not crushing re-
verses in Italy, the embarrassment of the
submarine ravages. The years fighting
on the West front furnished some solace
which Secretary of War Baker summed up
as follows:
's!n the West the British, in the Ypres sa-
lent, occupy the high ground of the Pass
chendaele Ridge and dominate the Flanders
plain.
Their wedge in front Of Cambria, though
blunt, has ripped great gap in the principal

ization of all their hopes. In an order to
the army and navy he reviewed the mar
tial achievements of the year and con-
tinued:
"The German people in arms have thus
everywhere, OH land and sea, achieved great
deeds. But enemies still hope, with
the assistance of new allies, to defeat you,
and then destroy forever the world position
won by Germany in hard endeavor They
will not succeed. Trusting in our right

year 1913 with firm confidence and iron will.
Therefore, forward with God to fresh deeds

But while Allied superiority in the
West is a good omen for the future, few
military critics agreed with Lloyd George
in his belief that 1913 is the year Of con-
elusive victory. German and Austro-Hun-
garian troops released by the passivity of
Russia will enable the foe TO stand at bav
until the full strength Of America is on
the line Of battle, it was argued An edi-
torial by Frank II. Simonds in The New

"Our allies must wait ths year while we

war can be won. But if we steadfastiy and
Gil needless of the voices that preach mad
ness and worse about Us make our prcpars-

VIII bring victory in 1912 then the end of the
struggle is assured. We have the resources
OF men and money, of materials and of ma
chines these are much, but they arc not
enough; we must bring also the reserve of
Will, OF determination, of courage to look
through all the mirage Of vain hopes and
false assurances TO the single objective.
there can be no peace without victory, be-
cause permanent peace for US and for all
mankind can be assured only by the absolute
and nmistakabie defeat of the German doe
triAe. 1t Will survive all but a military de-
1ea.; it cannot survive a military defeat, be-
cause the very essence of German barbarism
IS found in the belief that the German sword
can make the German the master of all the
riches and power OF this planet
Prom the grave the America of 1864 must
call to the America of 1913; the perils and
the problems are the same; if the will to en-
! dure and to conquer remain the same, the end
OF Germanism will be m sight when the nsat
new year comes"
The spirit of this New Year was typifed
in the act Of one New York hotel, which,

tributed knitting needles as favors to those

1913 will see the continuation of the su-

for tho defence of honor and of the pledged
word, Tor the safeguarding Of all mother
lands, great or small, against the powers Of
Imperialism and autccracy, whose avowed
design it is 10 dispose Of peoples just as
they have led them TO death-without con-
sult'ng them.
"'Tis the far-ofi voice Of Washington that

echoes of which are repeated throughout
the glorious American Union. France, too,
hears it. The llus.rious American states
