PUSHING "INvINCIBLEs"

The French and the British, with
American troops probably fighting
with each other. are still .lammering
away at the ''invincible" German arm-
les, and steadily pushing them back.
The 2a.:,s III. miles and in prisoners
are significant. Overwhelming disaster
has not yet come upon the retreat
lists" but they are losing steadily and
continuously. The irresistible force
of the Allied tide is sweeping them
away. Their military anchors will 20
longer hold.
AS an exchange observes, the war IS
not over: but our innings have begun,
and we are piling up a mighty score
that is throwing the shadow of sure
defeat upon the Hohenzollern crowd.
Like John Paul Jones, we nave just
begun to fight; but, unlike him, we
are at the beginning of our strength,
not near its end. The enemy is war
worn, weary and growing weaker
every day. His war of aggression is
over; ours has started and will not be
stopped.
Premier Clemenceau Of France
agrees with General March that we
can bring the war to an end next
year. Whether we do so or not de-
ponds upon how earnestly we back
up General Foch.

1t was alleged at that time that
the scarcity Of labor rendered it diff

PIONEER STEAMSHIP.

Today is the centennial Of the first
ocean-going steamship. She was the
Savannah, of 80 tons, and early in
the second year OF her life. equipped
with 90-horsc power engine, made
the voyage from Savannah to Liver
pool in twenty-five days, during
eighteen Of which she used steam
power. To commemorate the day, the
Macham and Babcock Shipyard of
Seattle will launch a 3.5o0-ton wooden
ship.
The Savannah would be a curiosity
today. This primitive steam craft
used paddle wheels, but they were not
enclosed in paddle boxes. One hun
Grcd years ago scientific men did not
believe a steam vessel could cross the
Atlantic, and urged many reasons to
show what they regarded as an i'm
possible feat. These critics stopped
talking after the voyage had actually
been made.
Many years elapsed, however, be-
fore steam was utilized in crossing the
Atlantic. Long after steamers were
crossing the ocean travellers were
avcrse to patronizing them. Charles
Dickens made his first visit to Amer
lea on the Brittanic, the crack Gu
harder of the early fortics. His de-
scription of his trip is thrilling. 1t
was mid-wintcr. and sheets of fame
rising from the steamers funnel
seemed to have an effect upon the. au
thor's nerves. He returned to England
upon a sailing vessel.
Less than half 4 century ago the
port of New York from a distance
was suggestive of huge spiders web.
- thick was the rigging Of sailing
vessels. 1t is not so now, as steam
shioS have gradutiy taken their
places, and few ships relying upon
