RainbOw's End
A NOVEL by REX BEACH
uthor of
cpyrshry fnps ~

But IL was little more than a remote
possibility Distance lends rosy
color 10 reality 10 our most absurC
imagfnings but like the haze that tint,
a far-of landscape, II dissolyes upOr
approach. Now that Rosa was here, II
sight OF the ruined quinta itself, hei
hopes ard half-bellefs faded.
More than once she was tempted tc
coniide In Evangelina and Asensio, but
she thought better Of It. Although she
put Implicit faith in Evangelina's dis
erection, she knew that Asensio was not
the sort Of fellow to be trusted with a
| secret OF great magnltude-he WAS
boastful, talkative, excitable; he was
Just the sort to bring destruction upon
all or them. Rosa had sufficient intel
ligence to realize that even If she found
her fathers riches they would only
constitute another and greater men
ace 10 the lives Of all OF them. Never
theiess, she wished to set her mind at
rest once for all. Taking Evangelina
with her, she climbed In Cumbre one
DAY In search of roots and vegetables.
1t turned out to be sad experience
for both women. The negress wept
nOislly at the destruction wrought by
Pancho Cueto, and Rosa was overcome
BY painful memories. Little that was
familiar remained; evidence Of Cue
to's all-devOuring greed spoke from the
sprouting furrows his men had dug,
from the naked trees they had felled
and piled In orderly heaps, from the
stones and mortar Of the house itself.
The well remained, although it had
been planked over, but II was partially
filled up with rubbish, as Rosa discov-
cred when she peered into It. Only
tiny pool of scum was in the bottom.
After long scrutiny the girl arose,
convinced at last OF her brothers delu-
sion. and vaguely ashamed of her own
credulity. No If ever there had been
n treasure, II was hidden elsewhere
all OF value that this well contained for
Rosa was her memory Of happiness
departed. OF such memories. the well, |
the whole place. was briBful. Here,
as child, she had romped with Este |

awatt the day Of his return. Well, she
had waited.
But was that Rosa Varona who had I

this pltiful Rosa whose bones pro-
truded through her rags? 1t could not
be. Happiness, con.entment hope
these were fictions; only misery, de- !

dream which Rosa vowed to cherish al !

that is obvious Germany has not been fighting
against France, Britain, Italy and Russia alone.
She has been fighting against Time also. 1t is
this most subtle of her enemies which, so far from
weakening under the strain, is growing stronger
!. and more menacing every minute.
President Wilson has referred to 1918 as "the
eliminating year." Berlin echoes the phrase. There
has been no dissent The Germans seem mysthed
by the Presidents frankness, for they ask, conf
IDENTIFY "What can the United States do this year?"
1t is for us to give the answer. What can do
this year is the world-enigma and the key to the
war; If there has been any disposition on Wash
ingtons part to evade that fact that. disposition
has disappeared now
What of the forthcoming German drive? Does
it represent the final German effort, merely the
opening wedge to an offensive which will continue
throughout the sursner? What is the chance of
its success and what will constitute success from
the German point of view?
Success to the Germans will the practical
collapse of France, the end of the bleeding white
process which they tried to initiate Verdun. The
fall of Paris would spell success to the Germans;
that in their eyes and the eyes of the world, would
mean the fall of France. Of such tragedy, there
seems hardly the barest chance The nations in
arms against Germany are already discounting the
failure of her offensive. They looking forward
to the resumption of their own offensive, which
must contain some substantial measure of American
power if it is to be laden with decision.
The war will reach its elimination in the failure
of the coming German onslaught and the use to
which that failure is converted by the Western
democracies. The latter part of the equation is
almost entirely contingent upon America.

"The eliminating Year" "

The world still holds 1918 in a feeling akin to
awe, if it held the fate of nations in its palm
1t is the year of destiny. In Europe the millions
are preparing to put forth their final ounce Of
strength and nerve, believing that the hour of de-
cision is drawing near. We in America girding
ourselves to strike before the year is out, and
leaders are spurring to greater speed.
Time has played many odd and battling tricks
in the war. The Germans cnshrined the clock
above their program OF conquest. 1t was Paris in
six weeks; Russia in six months; and Britain prob
ably, in year. The clock, on that schedule, has
been utter traitor to the Hunnish dream What
has it done for the allies? Chiefly has it been
their master strategist their mightiest field mar
shall. the deus machina which was rarely found
wanting. When all else failed Time was loyal TO
civilization
When the history OF the war is written it will
be found that Germany victim of her own
cocksure contempt for the hour and the minute
hand. Calais might have been hers in that dreadful
winter of 10I4-Is, but she put off until tomorrow
what should have been done today Why she did
not puncture that thin French and British line be-
lore IprcS-and puncture it easily-is secret
which the German general staff may care to
unlock More than one critic has said that the
Germans lost the war when they decided to en-
trench in the West. Trench warfare is Time war
fare; and Time has not only allowed their
enemies to prepare, it has given them strength to
strike.
Perhaps it is because the value of Time has
been crammed down the throat of Junkerdom by
conditions which can no longer be evaded or ig-
nored, that confidence exists on both sides of
No Mans Land that 1918 will see decision. The
Germans recognize the imperative necessity of srik-
ing All of their brilliant victories when correlat-
ed, assembled and weighed on a result-getting
basis, make picture of failure The reason for

The Arrival of Lord Reading.

1t is fortunate that OF the intellectual
caliber of the once Sir Rufus lsaacs, now Baron
Reading, former lord chief justice OF England, is
now British Ambassador to the United States, on
the eve OF new period Of Anglo American rela-
tons.
A unique opportunity lies before the new Envoy.
The war has clearly placed the stewardship OF
world-liberalism upon the English-speakng peoples
perhaps it is not too much to say that the des-
tiny of civilization depends the history-making
that goes forward in England and the United
States for the next ten fifteen years. Certainly
the Sav will be unable to function internationally
for decades to come, and the Latin is not going to
make substantial contribution to the liberal and
democratic forces OF the world until his own do
mestic equation is solved.
Therefore, the cultivation OF real intimacy
between Britain and America lies largely in the
personality of the men who are intrusted with the
task The British government last spring sent to
us one Of its choicest spirits OF British culture,
Arthur J. Balfour, and now it gives us as the sue
cessor OF Sir Arthur Cecil Spring Rice a states
man who ranks among the highest, who is a lib
eral in intellectual fiber, who has a keen under
standing of American institutions and sympathy
with American ideals.
We need not think the future OF the world, so
far as it affects the United States and Great Brit
ain is a gamble when it ; intrusted to such hands
as Baron Readings.
