origin in American sympathy for
the Cuban patriots who for several
years had been trying to throw off
Spanish rule but it is doubtful if
there would have been war had
it not been for the event which took
place in Havana Harbor on Febru-
airy Is, 1898. That event was the ex-
plosion and sinking of the U. S. S.
Maine. The excitement over this
resulted in diplomatic relations be-
tween Spain and the United States
being broken on April 81 and the
declaration of a blockade of Cuba
the next day. Her national honor"
thus assailed, Spain declared war on
April "a and our declaration fol-
lowed the next day.
The overwhelming victories won
by our navy-at Manila and at San
tiago-and by our army-in the
land fighting in Cuba-soon demon
strated what the inevitable out
come of the war would be. So on
August II peace protocol was
signed and hostilities ceased after
100 days of fighting. The war, how
ever, did not end officially until
December 10 when the peace treaty
was signed in Paris.
Although the period of actual COM
bat by our fighting men was rela-
lively short Zone year and Is days.,
World War l was our second long
est war with foreign power. Here
&c tho of to To
that statement:
On February l, 1917, Germany
began unrestricted submarine war;
fare and as result we broke diplo-
matte relations with her two days
later. On April 6 congress declared
war on Germany and on June 26 the
first American troops landed in
France. However, it was not until
October 81, 1917, that American SOL
diers fired their first shots at the
enemy. Hostilities ended on Novem-
Der II, 19l8-one year and fifteen
days after they had begun on Octo-
Der q of the previous year.
The cessation of hostilities on
Armistice Day did not mean the Of
fetal end of the war The treaty at
Versailles was signed on June %,
1919, but when it came up for ratifi-
cation by the senate on November
10 it was rejected. That meant that,
officially, we were still at war with
Germany. 1t was not until July 2,
1921, that President Harding signed
a joint resolution of congress
(passed by the house on June 30
and by the senate on July y de-
claring peace with Germany. On
August Is peace treaty was signed
in Berlin by representatives of the
United States and Germany. This
was ratified by the German national
council on September II and by the
United States senate on October 10.
Then, and not until then, was the
| war between these two countries Of
ficially ended - four years, six
months and twelve days after the
| American declaration of war back
in 1917
AS for World War II, it began
officially for the United States on
December 7, l94l, when Japan de-
clared war against the United States
| and Great Britain and before the
declaration reached Washington by
air or cable, made an attack on
Hawaii, the Philippines and other
| American possessions in the Pacific.
Our declaration of war followed the
next day. Four days later Germany
and Italy declared war on the United
States and on the same day con-
gress, in joint session, issued our
| declaration of war against those two
nations.

Washington, D. C.
When the mysterious Ninth army
suddenly rose full-armed on the
western front and the First army,
beside it, started General Eisenhow-
er's winter offensive there was one
question on most peoples lips. Will
peace come in Europe before
spring? In Washington, on the lips
of many thoughtful people, there
was another question, too: eff it
comes Tor for that matter when it
comes) will we be ready for it?" In
one of the many compartments of
government which must be prepared
for the ordeal of sudden peace,
preparations are now going for
ward which, I believe, are both sig
nificant and hopeful.
Specifically, I am thinking of a
report made by the director of the
budget, Harold Smith, summary
of which was passed along by Sena-
tor Murray, chairman of the COM
mittee on small business, for the con-
ISOLATION it might bring. The direc-
tor of the budget believes that in
formation needed by the govern
ment and valuable to small bust
ness is going to be obtained, while
the statisticians who obtain it are
at the same time going to cut down
on the number of forms which the
small businessman will have to fill
out.
Filling out forms, especially the
income tax blanks, is the subject
of considerable testing these days.
But there is a more serious side to
the process if we accept form fill
ing-out as a symbol of the growing
part which government plays in reg
ulating our personal and business
affairs.
That is why this promise coming
from the bureau of the budget is
significant, especially when it is con-
sidered side by side with two trends
to which my attention has been
called this week and to which too
few people have paid sufficient at
tention.

OUT OF RANGE


Then ne circled our blind, but
kept well out OF gun range. Nick
kept up his calls. The duck again
seemed 10 stop in mid-air.
We grabbed binoculars TO deter
mine the specie. II was a black
mallard. His bill was wide open
and il looked exactly as though
he was laughing at us--out loud.
Finally the mallard shook his
head. winked his eye and took
out for the south like B-29.
We do not wish 10 cast any
doubt as 10 Nick's duck calling
ability, but there are great
number of hunters who do not
know duck talk" According 10
the best authorities, they will
scare away more wild ducks than
they will ever bring within gun
shot.
FLY AWAY BLUES
For instance. still quoting the
experts. a cracked or blue" note
will put every duck in hearing on
the alert. A sharp "quack" is a
danger note. A mallard hen. in
calling 10 ducks passing overhead
or swimming in. generally SAYS:
"Qu-a-a-ack, quack, quack"
one long and eight short ones.
Feeding ducks chuckle. like a NAL
lard hen with her mouth full OF
mud and duck weed.
Duck calling. according 10 the
old timers, is an art. so Nick and
this writer are now looking for a
duck calling school.

COFFEE HAS
PRE.WAR
QUALITY
America tradition OF Fire
coffee has been kept
secure

One Of the accomplishments on
the home front in this war has
been the maintenance of fine quail
ity in coffee. At no time has the
coffee drinker in America been
denied delicious flavor in his cup.
Today Hills Bros. Coffee has the
same popularity that it had in
peacetime. For its flavor has been
maintained by selecting only the
finest coffees obtainable and then
roasting the blend by a special
process, Controlled Roasting"
The basic principle Of this ex-
elusive Hills Bros. method is roast
ing a little at a time. Automati-
cally measured quantities of coffee
are introduced into the rooster in
a steady stream and pass along in
a continuous flow. The speed Of
operation and degree Of heat never
vary, and every berry is roasted
to absolute perfection. Thus, any
chance of flavor variation is elm
mated.
Those who drink Hills Bros.
Coffee are quick to praise it. For
this is coffee flavor at its finest
flavor that never falls short sines
every pound has the same uniform
goodness.
