Vice President Marshall appears

role. that Of poet.
Following is the Vice Presidents
ideas on the Old Year expressed in
verse:
Nineteen Eighteen.
The years not dead. 1t can not die.
It's record lights the future sky.
1t walks beside all upright men,
It's gaze outstrips all mortal ken.
1t moves with France to lily fields.
Where Peace her BOInteous harvest
yields.
II smiles once more on Flanders plain.
Where ploughshares hide the sword
again.
1t marches back across the seas.
To al our moOrs and all our Ieas,
1t sits by each ones fireside
To be for aye Gods human guide.
1t is not dead. nor can it die
While men lift up our banners high.
1t will have an eternal youth.
While We love Liberty and Truth.

chant depend the success of the mon
ster fleet this country is building. On
their conduct of our foreign trade de-
pends the continued prosperity of the
army of labor in American mines,
mills, shops and factories.
World trade can be established only
on the foundation of good mer-
chandizing and good service. The
American laborer is the best laborer
in the world. The American manu-
facturer is the cleverest and most en-
terprising in the world. The Ameri-
can merchant, however, has not al
ways proved himself a good merchant
in foreign trade. He must do it now
or he will not do his duty.
Bankers Laying Foundations.
Today America is building ships at
rate ships never were built before;
building ships faster than Great
Britain is building them; building
them to make the Stars and Stripes
familiar in every port of every sea /;
building them to carry and to keep
prosperity in every American home.
Today American bankers are laying
the lines of American finance through
out the globe to facilitate trade.
Within little more than a year one
new York bank established thirty-nine
branches in foreign lands-fifteen I'M
der its own name and twenty-four
through a subsidiary. 1t is organiz-
ing eleven others in foreign countries.
One of its branches in Buenos Aires
has grown to have deposits of So, 900. =
900. and now a second bank is being
established by 1t in that city. A bank
is being established in Rosario. $50
miles up the Parana. Who knows of
Rosario?> And yet Rosario is the Du-
luth and the Minneapolis of South
America.
Within a few weeks the New York
bank has arranged to open banks in
Madrid. Barcelona. Lisbon. Zurich and
Brussels or Antwerp. Within a few
years its branch banks will dot the
world.
What this particular bank is doing
other banks are doing to minor
degree.
Greatest of Eras.
Asia, Africa, all the Americas are
nearer today by reason of the war
than before. They will be much near
er before another New Year rolls
around.
Be thankful you are alive. You have
lived in the most marvellous and most
glorious period in the worlds history.
No drama, no tale. no happening,
nothing imagined approaches in mag
nitude. in magnificence, in tragedy, in
importance one weeks unfolding of
the kaleidoscope wonder story of the
war that now is ended.
And no period in all history has so
much of promise, of prosperity. of hu-
man progress and human good. espe-
cially in this land of America. as that
which opens with the New Year.
Made in America should be the
standard of honest goods, excellent
&C rs at fair prices. the world over
That is a good idea on which to
base your New Year resolution, be
you banker, merchant, manufacturer
or laborer, for it concens all alike.
