HOW AMERICA ENTERED THE
WAR.
First Article.)

-
In August, 1914, when Europe
burst into a flame of war, America
was dumb-founded. With astonish-
ment went something pretty close to
disgust We had thought such a
thing impossible. We had honestly
believed that the world had out
grown the age of great wars; now
Europe had got tangled up in the
most bloody and brutal conflict Of
the ages. We instinctively drew
away from it. We willingly &C.
cepted the neutrality enjoined upon us
by the administration. Large num-
bers OF us congratulated ourselves
that our policy of careful isolation
had kept us outside the range of the
vars devastation. We were glad we
lived in America.
As the war progressed two facts
became ever clearer and clearer. The
first was that America was really in
volved in the struggle whether she
would or no, and the second was that
the conflict was something more than
a quarrel of European states grow
ing out of their eternal intrigue and
jealousies-it was struggle of
progress against fixed system, OF
liberty against autocracy, of world
economy against a narrow national
ism.
We soon realized that while Amer
lea might not be Immediately inter-
ested in the victory or defeat of either
party to the war we were nightly
concerned with the world conditions
that came as a result of the struggle.
Both our interests and our duty de-
manded that we turn the whole
might of our influence in the direc-
ton Of a peace that would be moro
than victory for either contestant. a
constructive peace, based on under.
standing among nations and oppor-
tunity for development on the part Of
all. As the most important and most
powerful neutral we hoped to win for
our selves such a reputation for fair
ness, sanity and unselfish devotion to
world interests as would make US a
disable agent for bringing about not
an armed truce but a real peace
based on understanding and liberal
concessions from all parties that
would usher in the new era Of inter-
national cooperation that all parties
professed to desire. This appeared
to be Amerida's mission.
But a. the war progressed it be.
came more and more evident that We
could do nothing with Germany. Her
contempt for international law and
agreements. her violation of Belgium,
her ruthlessness, arrogance and per-
fidy marked her as an outlaw. II .
just and permanent world settlement
was to be made it was clear that Ger
many, as now ruled, would not ana
could not be party to it. Her ar
rogant nationalism and aggressive
militarism, both backed by her au-
tocracy must first be crushed. This
fact became doubly clear after the
American request, December Is,
1916, for a statement of war aims on
the part of the belligerents. The al
lied powers put the security of the
world clearly as their first aim, while
Germany, in a generally evasive re-
ply, proposed blind negotiation OF
peace, and relegated the organization
of security to secondary place.

A young reserve officer came into
an American Library Association war

had enjoyed it very much, he said,
and added that 1t was the first book
he had read In four years.
You don't say SOL" exclaimed the

cause of children in the family or ex-
orbltant increase of rents. All these
complaints were investigated, and near
ly all were found to be justified.
The Commissioners placed the whole
legal machinery Of the city at the SER
vice of these persons. Sometimes their
leases were found to be good, and the
landlords were told to subside. In
other cases the landlord had the tech
meal rights in the matter, whereupon
Commissioner Cannon asserted the
technical rights of the city,
1t is just as simple as that. In the
case of Landlord profiteers" who raise
the rents the theory is from every pos
sible angle of attack absolutely hole
proof, for the value Of any property is
based on the income it yields. In the
case Of the merely baby-shy landlord,
who does not complicate his offense
Oy raising the rent, the method is
equally legal and equally efficacious. If
the landlord wants to fight it, he will
bump his head against the letter of the
law and against. public opinion at the
same time. That isn't pleasant.
Gould your method be worked in an
other city," Commissioner Cannon was
asked, Surprising that city had a
Mayor who cared anything about the
people? In New York, for instance? ?"
"Certainly," was the prompt answer.

TALES OF THE v. C..
One Man and a
Lewis Gun
Rx ;ex,tanan4 p Il..I
TT WAS the first day of the battl
By Lieutenant J. P. Lloyd

TT WAS the first day of the battle
of Arras. The East Surveys had
n stormed the German first line
trenches earlier in the day and had
begun to consolidate the ground they
had won.
The attack on the second German line
was intrusted to battalion of the
Royal West Kents. But it was not i'm
mediately successful. The enemy had
had time to recover from his surprise,
and as the battalion emerged into the
open its ranks were swept by a storm
of machine-gun fire from Hengist
Trench, two hundred yards in front. It
was realized that in face of such fire
direct assault was impossible, and
bombing parties were told of to attack
two communication trenches on either
flank
Meanwhile, the East Surveys, in their
captured trenches, had not escaped
scathless.
Sergeant Henry Gator saw the men
of his platoon dropping all round him
silence the enemy's machine guns him
self. One Of his men volunteered to
accompany him, and armed with few
bombs apiece the pair scrambled over
the parapet and began their journey
across No Mans Land toward the Ger
man trenches. His companion fell,
riddled with bullets, when only fifty
yards had been covered, but Sergeant
Gator went on. A little further on he
picked up Lewis gun and few drums
of ammunition. Taking these with him
he held steadily on his way During
the whole Of this time he was in full
view of the enemy, who kept up con-
tinuous fire upon him, but, by some
miracle, he succeeded in entering
Hengest Trench without being hit
In the meantime the bombing party,
which had started up Havant Lane. the
communication trench on the right, had
met with an obstinate resistance and
were now held up by machine gun fire.
But in Sergeant Gator they found a
useful ally. From his position in
Hengest Trench he could see exactly
what was happening. Cautiously he
worked his way along the trench unit!
he was almost in the rear Of the en-
placement. The Germans never real
lied this new danger until it was too
late. A Lewis gun is very deadly
weapon at close quarters and not
man Of them escaped.
The bombing party pressed on up
Havant Lane, while Sergeant Gator ad-
vanced down Hengest Trench to meet
them. Caught between two fires, the
surviving Germans had nc choice but
to surrender. In all, more than hun
dred prisoners and I'VE machine guns
were captured and soon afterward the
whole of Hengest Trench was in British
hands.

Effectiveness of the virile life of west

Walthall is that of a man accused of

RHEIMS is SAFE,
THANKS TO ITALIANS

A most interesting correspondence
published in the French newspaper,
'L'Heure." bears, in large type, the
heading, Bravo Italia" The first
phrase with which the correspondent
opens his narrative is, "Once more,
thanks to the Italians, Rheims is
saved" The same spirit Of praise to
the Italian troops that were in the
action is shown by the French official
bulletins, which mention at length
the participation of the Italian troops
in the activities of the Western Front.
This news is OF great importance,
as it is the first time that all the ma
tionalities in the world war have had
troops engaged in action at one time.
In other words, it is the best proof
that Italian, French and Portuguese
troops on the part of the Latins, and
the English and American on the part
Of the Anglo-Saxons, have shown that
unity of command and actions are
not an utopy, but an actral fact and a
successful one.
