Ten Years Ago Today.

Ten years ago today the great war
started. 1t is difficult to realize the
lapse of time. On the 2Sth day Of
Serbia. Quickly followed the other
happenings that went to set Europe
af1ame The Austrian declaration of
war precipitated Russian protest, and
war between Russia and Germany
came at once. The fully prepared Ger
man war machine moved swiftly. Ger
man troops flowed into Belgium and
thence into France. Russian troops
attacked East Prussia. England, hesi-
tating a few days, soon Joined the con-
flict on the side of the anti-Teutonic
powers.
Ten years. In that time the great
est war in history has been fought,
nations have been wrecked, govern
ments overturned, Russia has ceased
to be an empire and become a COM
munist state, Germany has become
republic, new states have been brought
into being. The world has been
changed almost beyond recognition in
it's political aspect. Millions of men
have died and other millions have
been manned. Immense uncountable
treasure has been wasted.
Ten years! A brief span in time,
but a tremendous stretch of happen
ings. No other decade in world his
tory has been marked by such mo-
mentous events.
