By DONALD F. BIeGs.

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 a close with the world at peace af- ter more than four years of the most sanguinary fighting of this or any other age.
 During the year great nations have erumbled, 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 fled for their lives or have fallen victim to the wrath of peO- ples 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. It finds the once great empire of Austria-Hungary in ruins from which there are already rising new free na- tions. It 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 czar, but these fragments have told terrible story of anarchy and class strife in which thousands of persons have perished, 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 SUD- planted by the menace of bolshevism, which is attempting to extend it's an arehistie 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 a conclu- sion in less than eighteen months. It 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 it vas 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 long-range peace discus sions in which President Wilson and Chancellor von HeStling figured. On January President Wilson, in an ad- dress to congress, promulgated the famous "A 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 Pe- 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 30 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 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 the Ukraine signed separate treaty of peace with 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 the Russian delegates at Brest-Litovsk signed the peace treaty with Germany.
 Germans Begin Great Drive.
 On March 21 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 50 miles, extending from the Riv- CT Oise, near La Fere to the Sensee civer, about Croiselles. Wave after wave of the finest German troops were hurled at the British lines, and in a few days had advanced 15 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 southward. and at the end of IS days

lively few strikes occurred during remainder of the year.
DISASTERS

Fires, railroad accidents and explo- sions took a heavy toll of human life on land during the year 1918 while the elements combined with the torpedoes of the German U-boats to send thou sands of innocent persons, including women and children, to their death at sea.

JACOBSON IS REPAIR
ING ARP l. A N E
Minot Aviator, Whose Machine Was
Damaged on the Fourth, Will Soon
BE Ready for Wolf Point Cele-

Mr.. and Mrs. Chester jacobson left
Tuesday for their homestead at OPP
helm, Mont, where they will spend
several days, awaiting the arrival OF
repairs for Mr.. Jacobson's Curtis air
plane, which was damaged at the end
of the fifth flight in Minot on the af-
ternoon of July 4.
The machine has been taken apart
and some-of the repairs have already
arrived. 1t is believed that the ma
chine will be ready for flying again
by the middle of next week.
Mr.. Jacobson was scheduled to fly
at homecoming celebration to be
held at Wolf Point, Mont, on July
and 6. He intended flying from Minot
to Wolf Point, distance of 225 miles,
early on the morning of the fifth, but
the accident to his machine prevented
this. The Wolf Point celebration has
been postponed until the machine is
repaired and he will fly to that place
later.
Mr.. Jacobson's wife accompanied
him on his thrilling flight on the morn
ing Of the Fourth, being in the ma
chine when he gave an exhibition of
the "barrel roll,' feat more danger
GUS than the loop-the-loop.
On the afternoon of July 3, Mr.. ia
cobson flew east of the city, escorting
in No. 3 from Surrey, which carried
Louis Hill and his private car. Mr..
Hill witnessed the flight in the after
noon and pronounced the work the
finest of its kind he had ever seen.

from North Dakota and Chas. Lano,
the tallest North Dakota man in the
late war, visited the Independent Of
tilce Saturday. Both men are from
Mohall. Breslin was 81 years old
when he enlisted, and because he was
telephone lineman at the time, he
was placed in that branch of the ser
vice in France. Within two months he
was at the front.
Mr.. Lano, who stands 6 feet 4 inches
in his "sock feet" is regarded as the
tallest soldier who went from North
