! HOW THE WAR WAS WON

The year opened with the opinion
generally prevailing that the world
war could not be brought to caneEu-
sion in less than eighteen months. II
was an open secret that the German
high Command was planning to make
supreme effort 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 trent in preparation for the
grand offensive.
Interest during these days conferred
in events that were transpiring in
Russia and in long-range peace discus
Sions in which President Wilson and
Chancellor Won Hes'tling figured. On
January President Wilson, in an adj
dress to congress. promulgated the
famous ID points which he declared
should form the basis of world peace.
In Russia Premier Lenine and For
eign Minister Trotzky intrenclled
themselves in power by dissolying the
constituent assembly which met at Pc
trograd January IS. On January II
an4aA-Russian congress of soviets was
convened TO replace the constituent as
scilbly. There was little activity on
any front during the month"; but on
January 80 u was announced officially
that American troops were holding

The Americans holding this sector

NEW BRIDGES COMPLETED

A e bridge has been competed
By the county commissioners at the
mouth of Eureka canyon where the
railroad crosses the Austin road and
joins the main road into Eureka,
says the Eureka Sentinel. On ac-
count of the narrow grade on parts
of the road down the canyon the
board has put the road Over the hill
in good order and desires that IT he
used in future, claiming that a little
travel over 1t will make it a better all
the year route than the n down the
canyon.
Another bridge has been completed
on the south side of the Pinto sum-
NIT, and It is planned to extend the
new grade there and save the put
ting in of another bridge, which II is
thought will make a road that can
be travelled during the winter months
without shoveling out and will also
make a much easier grade for traffic
coming up the mountain.
