History in the Making! Do you realize, Mr. Seattle Man, that the greatest war in the history of the world is in progress? It is an event of the most far-reaching consequences, and one that will change the entire map of Europe. And it is taking place right now, within the life- time of us all. You owe it as a duty to your children to keep them thoroughly posted on the details of the struggle. History is best learned by following it day by day in the making. Your children have studied history and geography in the school room. They have remembered parts of what they learned, no doubt, as all of us have. But they will have a knowledge of this biggest world war at their tongues’ end for all time if you discuss it with them each day in an intelligent, careful way. The Star is in the best position of any paper in the city to furnish you this in- formation. No paper in Seattle can give you the graphic first-hand pictures of the war that are shown in The Star. The important phases of the struggle are sum- marized daily, while descriptive accounts of the fierce struggles which are changing Europe’s complexion are interestingly portrayed. The Star suggests that you clip these more interesting features day by day, and make a scrap book of them. At the end you wil! have a daily history of the war that will be of more lasting good to you than all the books you can buy. over it, a sound almost too deep for utterance. It thrills the listener through with indescribable hor- ror. IT IS THE TRUE AND HORRIBLE SONG OF WAR!” BANG [knkabo BEng Syst Que Mavs Opoiav Also, to Nick, the czar.

But listen to Bill: | “By the grace of God, we, Wilhelm II., king of Prussia, emperor | of Germany, etc., call upon our faithful subjects to rise united in de fense of the beloved fatherland.” And Nick rises to remark: “By the grace of God, we, Nicholas II., emperor and autocrat of all the Russias, king of Poland, grand duke of Finland, etc., believe| unshakably that all our faithful subjects will rise with unanimity and devotion for the defense of Russian soil.” Then Wilhelm pitches into Nick and Nicholas makes a pass at Witheim. Then tens of thousands of faithful subjects in the prime of life are slaughtered. Then millions of women and children weep and go hungry. Then, the fields are uncultivated and civilization becomes a barren waste And Wiihelm says it is all done “by the grace of God.” And Nicholas says the same.
