BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

AutOcratic militarism, imbued with
an overpowering greed for world
domination, started the Great War.
Democracy, inspired with decency
and common sense. ended it.
"All wars are commercial is a say
ing that is true of all modern wars
The greatest war of all time, just end
ed, was no less so than others, for
though it was made by the military
class of Germany, it was for the bene-
tit of commercial Germany, for the
conquest Of the trade of the world.
Ever since the defeat of France in
1870 and the formation of the German
empire the ruling classes of Germany
had been assiduously preparing for
the mighty struggle that began in
1914. Secretly at times, with brazen
frankness at others, they laid their
plans. built up their mighty military
machine. extended their espionage sys-
tenn to all lands with the aid of the
business houses and the diplomats.
Though warned by more than one stu
dent Of affairs, the world in general
ignored all this or looked on it as
merely bOastfulness and legitimate
trade competition.
Germany's plan was nothing less
than an enormous conspiracy to es-
tablish what the conspiratOrs knew as
"Mittel Europa" a dominion extend
ing from the North sea to the Persian
gulf. AS preiiminaries, German
princes were placed on thrones of
middle Europe wherever possible. and
financial relations were established
that gave Germany virtual control
over the coveted countries. Then the

Warfare in the Air.

The most picturesque side Of the
great conflict has been the war in the
air. It was quickly seen that the air
plane would play a big part in the
war, and every beI1igerent nation soon
had powerful air fleets. The machines
were enlarged and improved beyond
all imagining. and from mere obser-
walton planes became fighting and
bombing machines Of vast Importance.
Except for observation purposes, the
lighter than air craft were utilized
only by Germany. She pinned her
faith. TO the great dirigible Zeppelins,
but these on the whole proved a dis
NAL failure. True to her savage pol
icy, Germany waged unrestricted war
from the air as on land and sea- Her
Zeppelins and planes repeatedly at
tackled London, Paris and innumerable
other unfortified cities and towns, and
her airmen made a practice Of bomb
ing Red Cross hospitals.
Long before the war closed the
allies had established their supremacy
in the air, and equal to the best Of
their flyers were the gallant Ameri-
cans who entered that branch OF the
service.
Another novelty Of the war was the
tank. This machine, based on an
American invention and first develop
ed by the British. came as a complete
surprise to the Germans and they fed
in terror from its bristling guns and
it's crushing weight They tried max
ing tanks for themselves. but never
caught up with the improvements
brought out by the allies.
The net results Of the Great War
cannot be stated yet But they in
clude, first and foremost. the down
fall Of irresponsible autOcracy and
miIitarism and the beginning OF a
spread OF democratic rule that will
embrace the world. The fallen mon
archs include the kaiser, the car OF
Russia, the kings OF Bulgaria, Bava-
ria, Wuerttemberg, Saxony and Mon
tenegro and King Constantine Of
Greece and probably the emperor Of
Austria. The people are in the sad
die and If they keep their heads and
submit to intelligent leadership. they
will remain there indefinitely.

Excuse Was Ready-Made.

Merely an excuse was needed to
precipitate the conflict, and this was
afforded on June %, 1914, by the as
saSsination of Archduke Ferdinand of
Austria and his wife in Sarajevo, Bos-
MIA, by a Serbian. That this crime
was inspired to serve as a pretext is
evidenced by the fact that everything
was prepared a few days in advance
for putting the German military ma
chine in motion. Austria, under or
derS from Berlin, made demands on
Serbia to which no Self-reSpecting ma
ton could submit, and on July % de
c1ared war on its neighbOr. Russia, as
ally of and sponsor for Serbia, mo-
bi1ized its armies at once, despite the
protests of Germany, whereupOn the
kaiser declared war on Russia.
France, being in offensive and defens-
i've alliance with Russia, was COM
PEELED to mobilize, and the kaiser's
armed forces got into action at once.
The course Of events so far had been
foreseen by the German high COM
mand and it was in accordance with
its prearranged plan, which was to
crush France by a swift advance on
Paris, and then to turn about and
make an end of Russia's military re-
sistance.
On August 2 German troops entered
France at Grey and began moving
through Luxembourg, despite the spir-
tied protests of the grand duchess,
and Berlin asked Belgium to permit
the passage of troops through that
country. This was refused, the king
Of Belgium appealing to the powers
that had guaranteed the neutrality of
his kingdom.
ALI this time Great Britain had
been striving to avert the outbreak OF
q general war, and Germany rested
compIacently on the information Of
her spies that the British would not
enter into the conflict. But Berlin
reckoned without the British spirit of
fair play and faithfulness to treaties,
and when the kaiser tore up the
'scrap of paper" and invaded Belgium
Great Britain jumped to the rescue.
Her mighty fleet was modified and
her army, pitifully small, began NOV
ing across the channel. Then events
came with dazing rapidity. One af-
ter another the nations fell into line
against the Germans and Austro-Hun-
garians, but the Teutons were ready
and the others. except France, were
not.
The Invasion Of Belgium.
On August began one OF the most
shameful chapters in the history OF
the world-the rape Of Belgium. King
Albert and his heroic little army re-
sisted to their utomst, but the suppos-
edly impregnable forts of Liege, Ma
muir and other Belgian towns were
speedily reduced by the Hun cannon
and the land and its people were made
captive. The atrocities committed by
Ehe Germans, officers and privates
alike, win remain blot on the name
Of Germany to the end Of all time.
The world has been so well Informed
concerning those brutal crimes that it
is unnecessary to recapitulate them
Having overrun all but a narrow
strip OF Belgium, the Hun armies be
gan what Berlin fondly believed was
TO be a triumphal march to Paris.

Elusive Peace Talk

Peace between the Central Powers and the
Allies is far off. 1t may come soon, with Ger
many the victor, if permit bandishing press
agents in Berlin and Vienna to take our eyes off
the Italian and western fronts while we watch the
alleged labor riots in German industrial centers.
1t is folly to project the Elusive prospect of
immediate peace before our minds eye. 1t is in
imical to the success of our arms. The workers
Of Berlin and Vienna may clash in bloody riots
internal disturbances may be prevalent in Ger
many, but neither the Kaiser. Won Hindenburg,
Won Tirpitz, or Won Hertling have spoken word
that indicates letting up of war preparations.
For the next few months at least the war par
ty of Germany has the upper hand. AS soon as
you hear that the war lords are weakening, then
begin to think about peace terms until that time,
remember that strikes of workers in Berlin and
Vienna are not decisive factors in the conclusion
