OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES BIRTH OF A YEAR OF WHAT? ‘With the birth of the new year the question will naturally arise, “What will it bring us?” Will it be peace, or war? be plenty, or what? No human being can answer that question today, though some may make a ludicrous bluff at doing so. At no time in the life of the pres- ent generation has the birth of a new year been fraught with so mueh un- certainty with regard to the world in general and our own country in particular. ‘We all hope and pray that the war may end and that the world may re- turn to some semblance of sanity and commercial stability. But there is no certainty—only an intense long- ing for something that is not. We are pinning our faith to the ability of our country to keep free from foreign entanglements, but again there is no certainty—only an abiding faith that may be founded upon the phantasies of our dreams. We are looking and longing for the day to come when men will cease to butcher one another and return to the more humanizing pursuits of a peaceful life. But our longing re- sults only in more looking and long- ing. There is no peace. ‘We anticipate a year of great com- mercial prosperity for the people of our own country, and it will be theirs if no unforeseen combination of in- cidents overturn the tranquility "of the nation. But in this, too, there is an “if,” and the if is not of our making. We are promised a year of unex- ampled ‘activity among the factories, and ‘in the fields, and in all of the marts of trade, but much of it will depend upon the actions of other na- tions than ours. And we are today a government and a people without friends among other peoples of the earth. We have grown and expanded and developed until we are the richest of all the countries of the world, and yet our great wealth is today of ac- tual menace to our peace and se- curity of the future, for the nation ‘that is hungry for gold will not be choice in its mode of attack when the time for invasion comes. But let us face the future with optimism and with faith, with eyes open to every essential fact, and with a firm deternmination to persevere and to conquer in the face of all ob- stacles. Let us dare to be just and right in all of our dealings with nations and with individuals, and when san- ity returns to the world we will reap as ‘we have sown. Let us'put our own house in order by placing the country in a state of defense sufficient to insure us from attack from without, and then let us give the world to understand that we are a just and righteous people, that ‘we seek to do harm to no man Will it or collection of men, and that wel|! ‘have nothing in our hearts but good will towards all people. The new year will bring us some- thing, but what that something is to be will depend greatly upon the course we ourselves pursue. Never-in the history of our coun- try has it been put more plainly and emphatiecally and squarely up to us. —— The Democratic party made a char- acteristic Christmas present to the American people. It consisted of the re-enactment of the emergency tax law, which will take $80,000,000 out of the pockets of the people during |’ the next year to make up for Demo- cratic extravagance and mismanage- ment. And even with this law re- enacted the deficit for the remainder of the fiscal year will, according to Representative Kitchin, the Demo- cratic leader, amount to $6,000,000 a month. We hope that the Demo- crats had a very Merry Christmas. it et A, It is just a year ago today that President Wilson sent ‘his first note iprotesting British interferemce with American shipping. “Might make the notes annual affairs and after three or four England may take some mno- tice of them. ‘We adopted a ‘“‘wat¢hful” waiting” policy, expecting that President Car- ranza’s present ‘to President Wilson would be tnat long postponed salute to the American flag, but we “watch- ed and waited” ‘in wvain. e———— This is surely-a’case of making a little food go'a long way.

New York, Dec. 27.—Germany has won the overland pathway to her place in the sun, as the close of the fighting of 1915 merges into the sec- ond winter of the European war. But the seas still remain shut to the Teutons and economic distress and food scarcity are exerting a more pro- nounced pressure for peace in the central empires than among the other belligerent nations. The primary cause of the war has been lost this year to both of the or- iginal participants. The conflict be- gan over the irreconcilable Balkan differences of Russia and Austro-Hun- gary. Each power wanted to be su- preme in southeastern Europe. The end of the fighting in 1915 finds Rus- sia held in check peyond the Balkan border, while Austro-Hungary is play- ing a minor military part in Serbia under the direction of Marshal von Mackensen and the German general staff. German influences are now dom- inant in the Balkans. The kaiser has wrestled the first prize of the war from the Slavs themselves, and from his own southern ally as well. Bulgaria’s entrance into the con- flict on the side of the Teutons has been the year’s most important de- velopment. The military conse- quences which have followed Bulga- ria’s action, have given to the Ger- mans a clear road from Berlin to Bag- dad. The Messopotamian metropolis has long been marked by German statesmen to become the Berlin of the Middle East and the center of Germany’s place in the sun. The year’s events having opened for Ger- many the rear entrance into Bagdad, the kaiser must continue to fight -to the point of exhaustion for perman- ent posses-ion of this precious right of way. The British fleet can pre- vent Germany from expanding over- seas, but it cannot block the road to the new empire in the east. This is interest 'in Bagdad. An Anglo-Indian expedition, after twelve months’ toil northward through Mesopotamia from the Per- sian Gulf, is now trying to enter Bag- dad by the front door. But the Turks under German leadership:have thrust tae invaders ninety miles to the south: W Your Great- Grandfather’s Ink was an inconstant mixture, thickened or thinned as it required.

The military developments of the ‘year “make “it certain' that ‘the Rus- sian-bear will not e able'to take his/ drink of warm water at the Persian Gulf, and little less than a miracle must now happen to give the czar Constantinople for an outlet to the unfrozen seas. The British effort to enter Constantinople by way of the Gallipoli peninsula has failed during the year, and Great: Britain is now reluctant to undertake a second-cost- ly experiment in southeastern Europe for Russia’s sake. The ease with which the Teutons and Bulgarians have been able to overrun Serbia ap- parently has been due to Great Brit- ain’s disinclination to risk wasting her strength in a major Balkan offen- sive. The odds all favor the Teu- tonic allies in the Balkans because of their unimpeded lines of communi- cation. British interest in the Balkan campalgn is primarily due to its bear- ing on the security of Egypt. Lord Kitchener’s visit to the Levant dur- ing the latter part of the year and his quick return, seem to have cre- ated a- belief in London that Egypt can be better defended along the Suez canal than in the Balkans. The ad- vantage of communications, which the Germans: possess in the Balkans, would pass to the British if the Teu- the dominant reason for Germany’s: tons and the Turks were to attempt an offensive by crossing the desert to the east of Suez. The Russians, however, are urg- ently pressing Great Britain to pur- sue ,the Balkan campaign. Other- wise, the czar will probably be the war’s principal loser. His own troops, waiting, as the year ends, to invade Bulgaria by way of Rumania, can hardly prove equal to the task unassisted. The Teutons, Bulgarians land Turks have certainly 700,000 men available for Balkan operations and this force might possibly be increased to a million.
