The map of Europe was being re-
made MS the year 1918 came to n close.
The Czecho-Slovak republic was al
ready in existence before the close of
the war. having been recognized as an
Independent belligerent government by
the United States, Great Britain,
France and Italy, but the coming of
peace saw the formal establishment of
this new government at Prague. The
end of the war also practically assured
the rising of great new Poland, made
up of most, If not all, of the territory
divided up years ago among Germany,
Austria and Russia. Finland threw
off the shackles placed upon her by
Russia and out of the turmoil of civil
war emerged as free and Independent
nation. The peoples of other smaller
subject states asserted their independ-
ence.
Civil war continued to threaten the
new republic of China throughout the
year. Hsu Shih Chang was elected
president of the republic on Septem
ber and during the next few months
reports Indicated possibility of an
agreement being reached between the
northern and southern sections of the
country.
Peru and Chile were reported on the
brink of war during the closing weeks
Of the year. The trouble between
these countries was an outgrowth of
the nitrate war of years ago in which
Chile won Taona and africa.
DIR. SidOnia Paes, president Of Por-
tugal. was shot and killed Mt Lisbon,
December 10. The assassin was killed

During the early days of the year
dlsaffection appeared among the work
ers In the shipyards and by February
10 the situation had assumed serious
aspect with strikes in effect in five

spread still further in spite of an nd-
vance In wages announced by the la
Dor adjustment bonrd.

In letter to William L. Hutcheson,
head of the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners, concerning the
ship carpenters strike, denied the right
of labor to strike at that critical juno
ture. "Will you cooperate or will you
obstructT the president asked. The
workmen responded to the presidents
appeal and the strike was declared off.
At the same time Secretary of Labor
Wilson announced the personnel of
national board of labor. to be com
posed of representatives of both labor
and capital. On February "a this board

BY DONALD F. slees.

More history has been made in the
year 1918 than in any year that has
passed since time began. This mo-
mentous twelve months period comes
to close with the world at peace af-
ter more than four years of the most
sanguinary fighting of this or any
other age-
Daring the year great nations have
crumbled, new nations have sprung
into being. thrones have tottered and
fallen, m0narchs who once ruled hum
dreds Of millions of people with an
Iron hand have fled for their lives or
have faIlen victim to the wrath of peo-
pies intoxicated by their new-won
freedom.
The coming Of peace finds America
and her allies strong and fully able
to meet the responsibilities that come
with victory. On the other hand 1t
finds the nations responsible for the
world cataclysm exhausted and torn
by civil disorders that are born of de-
feat. 1t finds the once great empire of
Austria Hungary in ruins from which
there are already rising new free ma
tions. 1t finds the German empire dis
rupted and threatened with dlssolu-
ton.
The end of the war finds Russia In
the throes of civil war. The world gets
only fragments of news regarding the
real situation in the land of the former
czar, but these fragments have told a
terrible story of anarchy and class
strife In which thousands of persons
have perished. slain in bloody riots or
ruthlessly executed by the bolshevlk
leaders who control large part of the
once great empire. Peace finds the
menace of autOcratic militarism sup
planted by the menace of boshevism,
which is attempting to extend its an
archlstic propaganda throughout the
world.
But, amid all the uncertainties that
peace has brought, the world rejoices
that the last citadel of autOcracy has
been swept away before the rising tide
of democracy. giving assurance that
the millions who died upon the field Of
battle did not die in vain. Brighter
days for all mankind have dawned
with the passing of the year 1918.

HOW THE WAR WAS WON

The year opened with the opinion
generally prevailing that the world
war could not be brought to conclu-
sion In less than eighteen months. 1t
was an open secret that the German
high command was planning to make
a supreme effort on the western front,
and during the early days of 1913 1t
was known that many divisions of
German troops. released from the Rus
sian front. were being transferred to
the west front in preparation for the
grand offensive.
Interest during these days centered
In events that We're transpiring in
Russia and in lonT-range peace discus
sions in which President Wilson and
Chancellor Won He-tling figured. On
January 8 President Wilson, In an ad-
dress to congress, promulgated the
famous IA points" which he declared
should form the basis of world peace.
In Russia Premier Lenine and For
eign Minister Trotzky intrenched
themselves In power by dissolving the
constituent assembly which met at Pc
trograd January IS. On January 21
an all-Russian congress of soviets was
convened to replace the constituent as
sembly. There was little activity on
any front during the month, but on
January 80 1t was announced officially
that American troops were holding
front-line trenches in France. occupy
ing a sector northwest of Toul.
The Americans holding this sector
received their baptism of fire when
they repulsed q vigorous German raid.
The Americans lost two killed, four
wounded and one missing. On Febru-
ary the steamer Tuscania, carrying
2,179 American soldiers, was torpe-
doed and sunk, with loss Of 159
lives. On February o the Ukraine
the central powers.
Conditions in Russia continued to
be chaotic. The bolsheviki declared
the war with Germany over but re-
fused to sign the peace treaty demand
ed by Germany. The Germans there
upon renewed hostilities against Rus
sia, capturing Reval, Russian naval
base. and advancing on Petrograd. Le-
nine and Trotzky then announced that
Russia was forced to accept the Ger
man peace terms. On March 3 the
Russian delegates at Brest-Litovsk
signed the peace treaty with Germany.
Germans Begin Great Drive.
On March 81 the long-heralded Of
fensive of the Germans was launched.
A terrific blow was delivered against
the British lines on front of more
than so miles, extending from the Riv-
er Oise. near La Fere, to the Sensee
river. about Croiselies. Wave after
wave Of the finest German troops were
hurled at the British lines, and In a
few days had advanced Is miles. The
British Fifth army at the point where
1t touched the French lines was rout-
ed. and for time the allies faced dis
aster. The Germans continued to push
