''Tis the far-off voice of Washing

hours of yore, and the echoes of
which are repeated throughout the
glorious American union. France, too,
hears it. The illustrious American

Greek Kings Message.
"The Greeks, who were the first to
defy justice and liberty, understand
thoroughly and greatly admire the
magnitude of the ideals for which the
United States entered so boldly into
this terrible war
"Imbued by the same ideals, the
Greeks will fight to help to secure
their realization. They will do it with
so much more determination, as they
expect to contribute to free millions
of their brothers prosecuted by their
hereditary enemies.
81 wish that the new year would
bring to all the people fighting for
the freedom of the world the just re-
ward of their sacrifices.
Their glory has undoubtedly never
been surpassed in history"
President Menocal sent this mes
sage:
Word From Cuba.
Never in universal history have
the nations been bound together by
such noble and magnanimous ties as
Is the case in this titanic struggle of
almost all of the countries of the
world, great and small, against the
central powers of Europe. No selfish
ends and motives may be alleged
against this holy crusade for liberty
and justice, because there are no such
ends and motives which can be held
in common by so many and such diff
| ferent nationalities, in so many and
in such distant parts Of the globe. A
superhuman and irresistible force, a
divine impulse unites them and har-
monies the forces and impulse Of the
great principles of justice and Of hu-
manity to bring peace to modern CIV
ilization."
President Valdez greeting said:

the world in this hour of history when
the destinies of great modern COM
munities are at stake. This calm sat
isfaction rests upon the sentiments OF
loyalty and decision which impelled II
at the first moment to embrace the
cause of American democracy, which
is the cause of the allies and the hope
of the small nations which believe
despite everything, in the rule OF
right. May the new year bring final
triumph to those principles and
crown with the laurel of victory the
brave warriors who are shedding their
blood on the altars Of a true peace
which shall abide"
