The map of Europe was being re-
made as the year 1918 came to 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 a great new Poland, made
up of most. if not oil, of the territory
Austria and Russia. Finland threw
off the shackles placed upon her by
Russia and out of the turmoil of civil
war emerged Us 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

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
q supreme effbrt on the western front.
and during the early days of 1918 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 were transpiring In
Russia and In l0ng-range peace discus
sions In which President Wilson and
Chancellor Won He-tling figured. On
January s President Wilson, In an nd
dress to congress, promulgated the
famous IA points, which he declared
should form the basis of world peace.
4 In Russia Premier Lenine and For
eign Minister TrOtzky intrenched
themselves in power by dissolving the
constituent assembly which met at Pc
trograd January 10. On January q
an all-Russian congress of soviets was
convened to replace the constituent as
stmbly. There was little activity on
amy front during the month, but on
Urinary 80 II was announced officially
that American troops were holding
frUnt-line trenches In France, occupy
Ing sector northwest of Toul.
The Americans holding this sector
received their baptism Of fire when
they repulsed a vigorous German raid.
The Americans lost two killed. four
wounded and one missing. On Febru-
arg the steamer Tuscania, carrying
2.17D American soldiers. was torpe-
doed and sunk. with loss of 159
lives. On February 8 the Ukraine
signed separate treaty Of peace with
the central powers.
Conditions In Russia continued to
be chaotic. The b0lsheviki 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,
base. and advancing on Petrograd. lie.
nine and Trotzky then announced that
Russia was forced to accept the Ger.
man peace terms. On March 8 the
Russian delegates at Brest-Litovsk
signed the peace treaty with Germany
0ermans 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 a front of more
than 30 miles, extending from the Riv
er Disc. near La Fere. to the Sensee
river, about CrOiselles. Wave after
wave of the finest German troops were
hurled at the British lines. and in Q
few days had advanced Is miles. The
British Fifth army at the point where
It touched the French lines was rout
ed. and for time the allies faced dis
aster. The Germans continued to push
southwark. and at the end Of Is days
