ODE TO THE YEAR 1918

ODE TO THE YEAR 1918
Adieu old year you have rendered your accounts,
Much happiness were wrote in blood and tears
Your annals tell Of trouble that mounts
To death and desoation hopes and fears
~
You have seen the waste of war and gallant sons,
Of many clmes and nations bite the dust.
10 q1ell the lust Of power in bSeast of Huns,
Who thought to dominate by means unjust
The chronic jealousy of Prussia
Has wrought the ruin of an empire great,
And luckless Austria has lost its sway,
While Hungary appears freshing state.
You've seen the valor of old Rome revived,
When ltaly's sons made combat with success,
Though thousands of her scions sacrificed
Their lives and fortunes to obtain redress
The entente powers you have noted,
And Americas contingent given praise,
Their force of arms the worthy cause promoted,
That brought defeat to Kaiserdom that stays.
You have seen the horrors of war ablaze,
The blood and carnage OF the trench and field,
And loot and pillage of the Huns vile ways,
With atrocities revolving none can shield.
You have seen theexit of the Kaiser,
And Germany so humbed in the dust;
Experience tends to make one wiser,
But as applied to Wilhelm none can trust.
You've seen no doubt that famine follows war,
That famshed hosts of Europe hath attest,
Distress of nations too from and far
All indicate feeling of unrest.
Your annalist may tell of pestlence,
The aftermath of Europe's chared fields
Where blood of millions shead as consequence,
Befouled the soil and air with germs concealed.
We congratulate you that you have seen
The great world war brought to a close,
And war Lords who have thought to be supreme,
Become hiss and by-word and depOsed
You may have been surprised to see such things,
But we were not for we expected such.
The Prophets told US, and our memory springs
Their words upon us with spirited touch.
We hope you've seen the dawn of better things,
Democracy is growing on the earth,
The fearless counterpart of Lords and Kings,
Bestowing freedom of unbounded worth.
We say goodby old year, you've done your best,
We keep in mind Gods rules and Whose behest
Will bring about reign of peace earth
And worst forsooth your page has moral worth.

The OTHER ANGLE
Tag Days
BY KIRK MILLER.

Tagging the soldiers for purposes Of
identification suggests a happy thought
to the blond voters who can't keep tabs
on their theater mileage.
If its good enough for a soldier. why
isn't 1t good enough for man whose
battlefield begins at his front door.
They started tagging coal shovels to
conserve fuel. but no one ever thought
to handcuff the bird who wields the
shovel.
Tagging the anthracite scoop may be
one way to save coal, but it sounds left
handed to US. How are the capital tax
payers going to cheat themselves out OF
warmth that hasn't yet been unraveled
from the mines?
If your bin is empty, that spoon don't
need tagging, and if your bituminous
garage is occupied, it's the shovel
chauffeur who needs to suttter.
Why don't they have tag day for
profiteers and chronic non-combatants.
You said it!

CAM0UFLAGE EFFECTS
DESTROYED BY NATURE
Heavy SHOWS on Battle Front in
France Render Quantity of
Material Valueless.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PARIS. January 8.-Nature has a pc
culiar way of destroying the deceiving
effects Of camouflage. The recen,
heavy SHOWS on the western front have
rendered valueless immense quantities
Of camoufiage material with the result
that artists and workmen have had to
work overtime in order to adapt their
work to changed conditions. The Ger
mans were quick to take advantage of
the snow-covered ground and began
sending out patrols dressed entirely in
white. The French soon penetrated
through this disguise and a number OF
German SNOW men" were taken pris-
oners.
The dark brown and green colored
German airplanes seem to have been
overlooked. however. For some time
past allied airmen found it difficult
when flying at height of several
thousand feet to distinguish these dark
colored planes as they stood on the bar
rem ground in front of their hangers
The snow. however. brought out the
dark colors in bold relief and the
French airmen have taken full ad-
vantage of the change.

PRESIDENT ASKS ACTION
ON THE OVERMAN BILL
Urges Upon Senators Speedy Enact
ment of Measure to Aid Prose-
cution of War.

President Wilson called to the White
House last evening Senators Overman
and Nelson to urge the necessity of
prompt action upon the Overnan bill,
which authorizes the President to CO.
ordinate and reorganize executive depart
ments and other agencies to aid in the
successful prosecution of the war. SEN
ator Nelson is ranking republican of the
Senate judiciary committee. and. with
Senator Overman. a member of the sub
committee which has been appointed to
consider the bill.
The President explained his reasons for
desiring the legislation and emphasized
the necessity for enacting it without de-
lay. He said it would give him no new
substantive powers. but would remove
statutory obstacles in the way of efficient
organization for war.
1t is understood that the President men,
toned particularly the impossibility OF
combining the purchasing functions OF
the War and Navy departments under
existing law.
