IN REMEMBRANCE.

The death angel visited the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. ova Berry of Sprigg,
w. Va, on February 18th and took
from them their darling little Lonnie.
He and his little baby brother were
playing in room by themselves and
II is thought he took a hammer from
his little brother and laid 1t on the
mantel. and in doing so his clothing
caught fire from an open crate. His
mother was busy in the kitchen and
his father was near the house and
heard his screams and both ran in,
but his clothing was in such flames
that he inhaled the fire and 1t was
impossible to save him. He was taken
to Welch, w. Va, to a hospital at once
and all was done that could be for him.
but he died in about nine hours after
he was burned. Before they left the
home TO take him to the hospital. he
put his little parched arms around his
mammals neck and said, Mamma,
know you and daddy have done all
you can for me, but I'm bound to die,
and told them not to worry about him
He said he would like TO stay with
them but had to die.
How sweet II is to think a little
child not quite six years old would
know TO talk as he did! His little body
was laid to rest Wednesday, Feb. 18th
at 10 o'clock in the family graveyard
at Shady Grove.
He was the grandson of Bill Berry
and John l.. lobe. A FRIEND.

The Sunset Trail.
There's a trail that leads to the sunset
And I'm travelling it--so are you,
But you'll have no fear, as the end

If your heart has been strong and

SO with faith that is strong I'll keep
marching
With never thought to fail.
And leaving the past I'll come at last
To the end OF the Sunset Trail
Sometimes the trail has been rugged
And choked with rocks and thorns,
But fairest flowers in rough places

And here our best friends are born.
So I'll march straight on with steady

Which Road!

Life is as we make it. Before
you have travelled very far on
life's pathway you will come to
q fork. The time for choosing
your destiny. 1t is not so diff
cult to choose which road to take
but If the narrow and straight
path is taken it is often very
difficult to continue the journey.
Then again it is very often that
no choice is necessary for when
you come to the fork in the
pathway the training you have
received in your home will be so
prominent that you will, without
any choice at all. just naturally
follow the one or the other road.
These two roads are very easily
distinguished; some of the guide
posts or signs along the one are:
This is on me-" lend me fve,"
charge this" Along the other
road are sign posts like this:
'One will be enough" Il can't
afford it," II can get along
without this" One road leads
to n state of nOfhinoness while
the other leads to true happiness
and success. Which road are
you on?

by Il. s. StrandvOld in the Grand
Forks Herald, April 8, 1919.

1t is illustrative of the in
herent peace love of the Amer
lean people that no preparation
have been made to celebrate to-
day the second anniversary Of
the declaration of "a state of
war against Germany, and that
even the obvious temptation to
take advantage of it as stimu-
liant for the Victory Liberty Loan
campaign has been resisted.
Last year it was different: The
immense spring offensive,
launched by the German armies
on March q, was continuing
with the utmost fury in Picardy,
and there were times when AL
lied resistance seemed almost fu-
tile. The early days of April last
year really were the most anxious
of the entire period during
which America was engaged in
the war, but no one throughout
the country could be found who
would admit even the remote
possibility of defeat.
The hope reflected in General
Foch's words. "All is going WE'LL"
found expression in every city,
village and hamlet of the United
States, and even though the i'm
mediate future looked dark and
foreboding, the morale Of the
people at home remainded excel
lent while that of the expedi-
tonary forces continued to be an
inspiration for the co-bel-
ligerents.
''Force to the Limit"
1t was on Apr. 6, 1918, that Pres
ident Wilson in one of his i'm
pulsive moments found occasion
to give to the American nation
just the message that fitted the
day:
Force" he said in an address
at Baltimore, force to the ut
most. force without stint or
limit, the righteous and tri-
umphant force which shall make
right the law of the world and
cast every selfish dominion down
in the Dust"
Subsequent events showed
that force, consistently and
Systematically applied. uninter-
ruptedly massed against the vast
divisions of the German armies.
won the struggle. and that the
ultimate result was even more
| sweeping than could have been
foreseen,
1t was possible year ago to-
day to hope for success, but, in
truth. the events happening
just then did not in themselves
encourage the American nation.
A win the War Day" was not
only desirable. but needed as a
further inspiration to keep on.
to fight on, and never to stop
before the goal had been at
tanned.
Today the Central Powers are
vanquished nations; crowns have
rolled in the dust: thrones have
collapsed; armies have been shat
tered; the second greatest navy
in the world lies anchored in the
ports of the victors, and the
ambitions of erstwhile rulers to
conquer the earth have vanished
like soMany dreams.
Emperors and kings have gone
finto exile; occupied soil in
France and Flanders has been
given back to the French and
Belgian peoples; allied soldiers
stand like a wall along the banks
of the Rhine; new nations have
been created. and old wrongs are
being rectified.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1919-04-17

The nation today looks back
over the last two years. It's
emotions are tinged with the en-
phatic colors of triumph, but
with no boastfulness. 1t stops
a moment to reflect on the i'm
mense developments which have
unfolded themselves during the
period. 1t takes pride in
achievements which were
thought too-heroic to be feasible;
it rejoices in the general eff
cheney with which every i'm
portant detail of the great task
was carried out, and it glances
reverently in the direction of
France and Flanders where little
American flags wave over
thousands of graves
where the WIND or spring now
carry the message that we who
live on, enfold ''in proud and
loving memory" those who gave
their lives for a cause which was
not merely that of a nation, but
that of a world, of a future, of
generations yet to be born
where the gentle winds of
spring carry the thankful mes
sage that those who died, shall
not have died in vain"

During the past year the world

During the past year the world
has lived through an age
through period unique in the
annals Of human achievement.
Never before has activity been
as intensified as in the year now
ended, and success and failure
have never been more complete
than during that brief period.
Americas Opportunity.
Two years ago the United
States congress declared war on
Germany, there was considerable
scepticism as to the ability of
the country to sustain the posi-
ton it had taken. The German
generals scoffed at the unframed
legions of America, and military
experts set out to prove
statistically in Berlin periodicals
and newspapers that armies
from beyond the Atlantic were
of no consequence; in the first
place, they reasoned, they can't
get enough men trained; in the
second place. they can't get them
across, and, in the third place,
their officers are without that
practical experience in modern
warfare which produces great
leaders.
All of which was statistically
proven to be faulty deduction.
In the Entente countries the
step of America onto the arena
Iof the world war was greeted
with friendly enthusiasm, but
even there was the element Of
doubt: America might help a
little, but at best it could not be
of any decisive value in deter
mining the final outcome of the
issues.
The opportunity to show that
all such guesses were wrong af-
forded encouragement to the
government and the people of
the United States, and the amaz-
ing thing happened that not only
did America train millions of
men and send them to foreign
battlefelds, but she also contrib
uted signally, at the most critic
al stages of the war, to the at
tainment of victory.
Fighting For Principles.
Contrary to all usage in war
fare, American soldiers did not
keep one square mfllimeter of
conquered soil. The American
government has repeatedly en-
phasized that it coveted no
material gains of any sort. but
that it took part in the war for
the sole purpose Of supporting
some of those fundamental prin-
ciples upon which rest the hope
and the future Of humanity. The
presidents words of April 2,
1917. that the goal of the fight
was to make the world safe for
democracy" became the univers-
ally accepted slogan of those who
fought, and Of those who now
are engaged in the difficult task
of creating a new world out of
chaos.
Democracy, however. does not
wholly mean the destruction of
gilded autocracy; the fact that
emperors are forced to abdicate,
and that their war material is
reduced to scrap iron does not
make a world democratic. Events
during the past year proved
this.
We now see new forms of
autocracy enthroned in the dis
guise of democracy. and the
menace of the old regime was no
greater than that of the new.
Although the war technically is
ended, the world has not yet
been made safe for TRUE
democracy. and it may be that
years will elapse before that
!
