1918

Another year has left US, and what
a year! 1t was a year that Will go
down in history in red letters for ali
the world; for the United States as
the year in which this Nation entered
a strife OF gigantic proportions on
the side of democracy and humanity
We wonder what 1918 will bring;
whether it will bring home to us
full realization of the war, make
everyone in the Nation see the need
for sacrifices, or whether it will bring
an end of all hostilities. Certainly it
can bring nothing more momentous
than did the departing year. A sud
den declaration of peace, even an un-
conditional surrender by the Teu-
tons, could not surpass the purport
of our entrance into the war.
Americas entrance showed rad
ical departure from a traditional pol
icy which she had religiously pur-
sued. This Nation had left Europe
completely to itself, and had scrupu-
lously refused to take hand in
European dieputes. But joining with
the Allies, she broke this traditional
isolation and announced to the world
that henceforth this Nation would
take a hand in European affairs and
politics and see that justice was done
to humanity. She stepped in when
Britain sorely needed help and COM
pleted the union of the English
speaking peoples.
What developments may come un-
der this new policy is cause for con-
lecture. If the war ends, what part
will the United States play in defin-
ing the terms of settlement, in seeing
that agreements are kept? What will
be the part of the United States in
Europe after the peace terms have
been settled? What alliances will
she form there to see that no more
cataclysms such as the present will
be possible? All of these questions
may find an answer in 1918.
The chances are greater that the
war will continue through the year.
If it does, none of US doubts that our
boys will wage with glory the battle
for the right. And with the war 60
ing on, the ever-increasing need for
greater economy becomes apparent.
Will our crops this next year be suf-
ficient to feed ourselves and our SOL
diers and make up the Allies deficit?
The stage settings and the actors
for the new play, 1918, are epoch
making

why limit this excellent word to mil

great leaders in the making OF the
history Of today. :
Value for History.
The voices appealing to the people
at home from thousands of miles
away will be most effective in all
that the government wants. During
the war and after the war the voices
will live to be recalled at the mo-
ment by the mothers and fathers,
sisters, wives and sweethearts OF the
boys-our boys-in battle; the voices
of the men who are directing affairs
at home and the voices OF the men
who are directing our boys in the
field of battle.
The boys may hear the voices
themselves after the return from
war. They will be available to all
posterity. They win possss a wonder
full historic value for posterity. What
would one not give to hear the voice
Of George Washington in his Fare
well address; the voice of Abraham
Lincoln in his immortal speech at
Gettysburg? The chance for that has
gone forever; but the opportunity is
here and Is being taken advantage
of to secure, for all time. the voices
Of the men who are fighting at the
battle front Of freedom.

Of Europe. are responsible for the
deadly efficiency and high morale
which has brought such phenomenal
success to the United States Ma

Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood,
according to military critics in
Washington.
Since details of the remarkable
and sensational fighting Of the Ma

Marne front has become known to
the public through news agencies, IL
has become a natural source of de-
bate as to just what has been re-
sponsible for their success. One and
all agree that chance has played nc
part in these victories, except the
chance to be placed where they
could really fight. There has been
no mystery surrounding the events
The Marines were successful be-
cause every member of the corps
was confident of his own ability as
a fighting machine. and this sense OF
security was based on his skill in
craftsmanship.

the first to grasp the import OF the

his aid and his voice to II. Repre-
sentatives of the Nations Forum of
New York, founded by Guy Golfer
man. a st. Louis attorney, were sent
to the firing line, and from the field

Marine Corps now has surpassed
its best previous record for qualifi-

that with the great increase In the

u. S. Rice Good Enough
Says War Trade Board

There's plenty Of rice in the United
States and it isn't necessary to bring
any in, is the explanation Of the War
Trade Board yesterday in announcing
that it has cancelled all licenses for
rice importation. America has been
a heavy exporter lof rice, but at the
same time has brought in a fancy
japanese rice. which has a larger
berry than the domestic and polishes
more attractively. The War Trade
Board thinks rice Is rice, and with the
American rice as good as 1t is. there's
no need of tieing up shipping to bring
in a foreign product just because its
prettier than our own.
