led by his wife, returned to Bemidji
this morning from San Francisco
where he has been on temporary duty

midi.

Lieut.. Lycan who instigated the es.
tablishment Of a division Of the naval
militia in Bemidji, and in conse-
quence of his efforts Bemidji was en-
abled to be represented among the
first cities of the country in sending

trained body of fighting men to an
swer the call to colors Immediately
following the declaration of war.
Lieut.. Lycan has been in service

NOTED to lieutenant, senior grade, in
the navy on January 1, 1918, and this
rank he retains.

New York. April 5.-Two years
ago tomorrow april g. the United
States declared war on Germany and
entered the political arena Of Europe

The American armies won the war
against Germany but the victory
which the United States wished to
gain for civilization has not yet been
realized. The past two years have
Missouri The Europeans are taking
nothing on trust, and are willing to
admit future wars may be improb-
able only If they are allowed to keep
themselves heavily armed to prepare
for the worst. The two years have
introduced America to Europe, but
at the same time they have intro
duced Europe to America, and the
surprise Is mutual. No longer can
Europe refer to America as the land
of the almighty dollar, and let it
go at that.
The profoundest fact of the past
two years Is the emphasis that has
been thrown upon Americas ideal
ism. Encouragement Of idealists
since the signing OF the amistice
terms has not been due to any re-
action within the United States. but
to a grasping after material spoils
which has characterized certain
statesmen on the continet Of Europe
The two years have witnessed one Of
the most amazing changes in history
as to the attitude Of Europe toward
the United States. During the criti-

nous sums of money, which the Ger
man government will have to make
good some day. These funds were
used to hire more Spartacan follow
ers, and were especially effective in
organizing a campaign in Essen and
the other Rhineland factory towns,
which, when they were taken over
netted still further funds for the cof-
fer. The Spartacan movement does
not finance itself by donations, as do
most labor movements. 1t exists and
prospers by confiscations, polite
term for robbery.
Spartacism Is a movement of help
ing yourself by force, and it is made
doubly dangerous by the fact that
it's morals are nil. There are no
scruples at using any means possible
to gain an end. Killing and destruc-
ton are defended by the Spartacans
with the retort that 1.-The war has
killed and destroyed more than
Spartacism will ever do" Hungry

The German government. facing
this problem for the first time. hesi-
tated to use force against its own
people. 1t was an idealistic and a
socialistic government, and it sought
to start a new world with clean

Taking advantages of the unstable

perhaps millions This is the move

OLD DIPLOMACY ALIVE IN EUROPE
SAYS MASON ON WAR ANNIVERSARY

ing all they wanted was America 8
moral support After the United
States became a belligerent. Europe
pleaded for millions OF America s
troops, and now that the war Is over
suggestions are being made in Paris
and Rome that the war debts be
pooled so that the United States shall
take over a large part Of the fnan-
cial obligations of the allied nations.
Americas experience as a world
power has demonstrated during the
past two years that Europe is more
keenly alive to material advantages
than the United States ever was. The
exhaustion of the European coun-
tries accounts for much. but by no
means for all Of their efforts to get
all they can out of the peace treaty.
The old diplomacy Of loot is far from
dead
This means that events of the past
two years, and especially the most
recent months, have proven that the
leadership Of the world, II there Is
to be a new civilization. must pass to
America The European diplomats
admit as much when they confess
that there can be no league Of ma
tions without the United States.
Europe is still the home Of quarrel
ing statesmen and Of international
rivalries The United States has
none of the fcrocious incentives to
future disputes which are not stilled
in Europe. For two years. Ameri-
cas- prestige has constantly risen
abroad largely for this reason. 1t
is impossible to avoid the conclusion
that, hereafter, Europe must turn
