ET all the world put a mark on its calendar for this day—Jan, 27,! 1917—for in the Judgment Book of Life it is an anniversary date of a personage of supreme importance. ! What kind of a mark you should make, whether a cross of blac't | sorrow or a circle of triumph, remains for individual selection—each | to his own choice. | On this day fifty-eight ycars ago, in the year 1859, was born William of Hohenzollern, future King of Prussia and German Em-| peror, the man who unsheathed the eword of world war. All other horrors, all other losses of life and property, all other suffering and sacrifice, all other misery and sorrow that history records fall into insignficance compared to this ghastly conflict that upsets the peace and the happiness of everybody. Just 911 days have elupsed since Aug. 1, 1914, when Germany declared war on Russia and inaugurated the period of unparalleled destruction. Just 911 days have passed since the Kaiser, from the baleony his palace, announced to anxious crowds of his people: “A fateful hour has fallen for Germany. The sword has becn forced into our hands. And now I commend you to God.” Of the thousands who heard and the thousands more who read, this benediction of the world’s last hour of peace, uncounted numbers: lie in unmarked graves. Not all of them, probably not half of them, were slain by shot and shell. \ The bottom of tho sea holds victims of appalling disasters, bellig-| erent and neutral alike. The cities of Belgium, the plains of Polant,; the mountains of the Balkans contain in vast tombs slaughtered inno- sents who were crushed under the Juggernaut of War. Historians of the future, statesmen of nations yet to rise, pluloso- phers looking back on our desolatw days will dispute the responsibility for the era of needless horror. \ It is worth while for us now to mark this day on the calendar of time—to make a mark even though only for speculation what might! have happened if the hand had rejected the sword; of what the world} might have been if there was no such anniversary as this in the Almanach de Gotha. } For every one of the 911 days of war ten thousand lives have veen sacrificed or shattered, | ( olf ALOT PLLC IEA OO A He crank, While @ second, with a stecring oar, aat Ip _ What a reckoning for birthday reflestion and thoughts of peace!
