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 all, of the territory
divided up years ago among Germany,
Austria and Russia. Finland threw
off the shacliles placed upon her by
Russia and out of the turmoil of civil
war emerged as a 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
Der 6 and during the next few months
reports indicated a 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.

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

Practically every phase of American
life felt the dominating influence of
war throughout the year 1918.
In the field of national legislation
womaB's suffrage and nationwide pro-
hibition were urged as war measures.
The woman's suffrage amendment
was defeated in the senate October /
after having passed the house. A
nationwide prohibition measure, TO
become effective June 80 1919. was
enacted by congress and approved by

BY DONALD r. eIGGs.

More history has been made in the
year 1913 than in any year that mas
passed since time began. This mo-
mentous twelve months period comes
to a close with the world at peace al
ter more than four years of the most
sanguinary fighting of this or any
other age.
During the year great nations have
crumbled, new nations have sprung
into being, thrones have tottered and
fallen, monarchs who once ruled hun
dreds of millions Of people with an
iron hand have fed for their lives or
have fallen 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 it
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
lions. 1t finds the German empire dis
rupted and threatened with dissolu-
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
ear, but these fragments have told
terrible story of anarchy and class
strife in which thousands of persons
have persisted, slain in bloody riots or
ruthlessly executed by the bOlshevik
leaders who control large part of the
once great empire. Peace finds the
menace of autOcratic militarism sup
planted by the menace of bOlsheyism,
which is attempting to extend its an
archistic 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.
