that gave to the world the great names
OF hege, Brussels and Antwerp. It
was this spirit that made the name
Belgium an inspiration for all time. It
was this spirit that made the poet sing
In Belgium lreigns a man."
But the approach Of the fifth year
finds in us and in our allies none Of
this sublime resignation.
No longer is 1t a case Of holding on.
The historic cry, "They shall not
pass" Is obsolete. It has served its pur-
pose. They did not pass.
There Is no negative note today. It is
what we shall do; not what they shall
not.
We that are allied in a common cause
have the will to win. We shall win.
Belgium Is overrun. We shall restore
her.
Rpmania is in servitude. We shall
set her free.
Serbia is suffering. We shall heal her
wounds.
Russia is? We shall save her
from herself II need be.
The military autocracy still controls
the German policies. We shall crush
that autocracy.
Austria has renewed her alliance and
allegiance to the predatory Potsdam
gang" We shall eliminate the gang.
Bulgaria still does the bidding of
Prussia. We shall stop Prussia from
giving any such bidding.
The clown prince pulls the strings and
the puppet sultan responds. We shall
prepare a fine resort for clowns and
puppets.
We have no sympathy with that
blatant Americanism which says, I'VE
are in 1t. The war Is over!'
We have the most profound respect
for the bravery and sustained fortitude
of our allies. Civilization can never
repay the debt.
But there are facts in the situation
that cannot be gainsaid. We have gone
to the succor of our allies at q time
when we can give the needed stimulus,
when our optimism will minister to the
morale Of their armies, when our en-
thusiasYn. our vim and-thank God!-
our traditions, can have a. tonic effect
The fifth year Of the war finds our
strength multiplying. We have just be-
gun to tap our resources. We are
united in thought, word and action.
And what of the enemy?
His strength is declining His re-
sources are being conserved with cruel
cunning. In him there is unrest and we
hear the rumblings of disruption.
We face the fifth year of the great
war with confidence!

Reported Drowned.

Wondering If her brother is
among those missing as a result of
the river catastrophe near Peoria
last night when the excursion
steamer Columbia sank beneath the
waters of the Illinois river, Mrs.
J. ". Spencer, 229 Sixteenth street,
is today anxiously awaiting some
definite word.
Her brother, George Bailey, was
a member of the orchestra on the
steamer. Word was received from
him one week ago, at which time
he stated that he was planning to
leave his position. No letters have
been received since. Providing he
left his position as he had Flanned
to do, he no doubt escaped the fate
that befell between one hundred
and one hundred fifty passengers
who were on the boat at the time
il sank.
Although only bulletins of the ca
tastrophe were posted in The Rock
island Argus window today, word
of the accident spread broadcast
over the city before 10 o'clock this
morning. A continual stream Of
calls poured into The Argus office
from those who had relatives living
in the vicinity Of Peoria and Pekin
between which cities the boat sank.
No Local Names.
Although no names Of Rock Is
landers are included in the partial
list of those missing, it is said that
many of the victims are relatives
of those living in Rock Island and
other nearby cities.
