Great Britain, Tlussia and France had
alnly tried to mediate. IlUhsta went
to the aid of Serbia by moblllzlnr; her
armies on tho Auitro-Hungartan fron
tier. On July 21, 1314, Garmany pro
claimed a "threatening (JanRer of -war"
and sent ultimatums to Russia, and
France. The next day ordcrd for cen

clared war on Ru3'tt In defenso of her
ally, Austria-Hungary.

armies tho lnadera advanced to within
twenty miles of the French capital.
The' Battle That Pared Kurope
Then came the battle of the Marnc, the
battle that "decided th.t Kurope should
still bo European and not Prussian."
This battle (September C-10) forced the
Germans to retreat to the Alsne, whero

conquest by the Germany of the Belgian

(October 16-28) and the first battle of
Ypres (October 2 2 November 13) tho
German losses were estimated at 130,000

.The Russian Invasion of Gallcla was
more successful. Tarnopol, Halle::, L,em-

hi March of the succeeding year
Praemyst had surrendered and the in
aslon of Hungary was thveatcned. In
December, thanks to the .relaxation of
Austrian pressure, Serbia oipelled the
Austrian Invadero from her territory. It
was in October of the first year of the
war that Turkey openly Joined thu Teu

' In naval warfare the British won the
battle at Helgoland light on August 28,

Second Year of the War
Activities on the west front began fn
March with un Allied offenslvo In the
Champagne sector, followed by the soc
ond Pattlo of Ypres, April 22-26, but
the preparations of the Allies for carry
ing the formidablo German entrench

It was
in Fcbrtiarv and March or tnis
year that tho Allies attempted to force

After long delay troops wero landed,
soma In April and others In August, on
the aalllpoll peninsula. Toward tho close
of tho year enormous Joseot; had been
suffered and the venture was apanaoncu.
rAll Poland was conquered and Cour
land overrun by the combined forces of
Jllndenburg and Mackensen. Tho Ilus

lier fortunes with tho Teutons In Oc-
' tober, and Serbia was crushed by u. slm
Ultaneoun Invasion of Austro-Germans
and Bulgarians which was completed ln
December.
To Americans, perhaps, the most mo
mentous occurrence of tho year wan the
deliberate Blnkmg by a German sub
marine on May 7 of the passenger steam
ship Lusltanla, with a loss of 1183 lives,
121 being Americans.
' Verdnn's Iferole lletUtanee
Two great battleu marked -the year on
t the western front The tlrst was the
" battlo of Verdun, begun ln February and
'f ended in July, The Germans were de-
icated with enormous losses through tho
.herelo resistance of the IYench under
General Petaln, whose brief message,
'They shall not pass," lias become his
toric .
A serloud blow to British prestige in
4'thi east occurred on April 29, when
General Townsnenu anu ni mmj u
aS.OOO'meh surrendered to tho Turks at
, ICut-el-Amara. .....
In naval engagements the battle of
Jutland on May 31 was the promlnont
ea fight. The British battle cruiser
fleet pnd the German Jilgh seas fleet
were the combatants, and thero was
heavy loss on both sides.

In the west of this campaign came with
tho battle of Cainbral, which began on
November 110 antt ended In December.
The battle was beirun by "tanks" with

decisive order. Her prompt withdrawal

fall of- 1910 came Cadorna's dashing
advance which won Gorlala ar.d almost
opet.td the way to Lalbach.
The I'irnt Itererie
In May of the following year the
Italians began a grat o!Tenslve In the
Ifonxo aiea. but when tho Itusalan up
heaval permitted the withdrawal cf
Austrian troops to tho Italian front a
new Austro-Oerman counter-drive wan
begun In October ar.d the Italians lost
280,000 men and thousands of guns. Thi
Italians made a ntand on the Plave and
Drenta rivers and opportune aid by
British and French halted tha advance
of the enemy.
The defeat of Caporetto, as this cam
paign has romo to be culled, was largely
occasioned by an lnoldlous Hun propa
ganda, whereby the Italian morale wa
petllously undermined. The reorganiza
tion of Kln-r Vlctor'u army, now led by
General Diaz replacing Cadorna, la ono
of tho most wonderful reversals of form
In the whole hlbtory of warfare.
In the belief that such a reformation
waa lmposJlble, Austria, prodded by
Germany, began a tremendous offenslvo
on tha Italian front on June IC, 1918.
French und British troops aided mail's
furces, with the result thnt Austrian
Initiative proved a boomerang and tho
Italian armies stood Immovably on the
line of tho Plave river.

political nnd social chaos, economic dis
organization' and great suffering.
Ukralnla, one of the Independent States,
negotiated and olgned a peace pact with
Germany In February, and ln March the
Bolshevik Government concluded a
peace treaty with 'the Central Powere,
thus ending for the time Russla'n par
ticipation ln tho war on the side of the
AJlles. Men and munitions thereupon
wro transferred by the German general
staff from the east to the west front,
and the Hlt.denburg hordes wero enor
mously strengthened. "
Tho Brest-Wtovsl: treaty, under which
this betrajal of tho aplri of Russia was
effected, has been exposed as one of
the many heinous crimes of treachery
and falsehood characteristic of Ger
many's course throughout the war.
The3e attributes were evidenced In the
Rumanian .negotiations, which reduced
that land to Impotence and to national
humiliation, and they have been listed
among the evils to be corrected tn the

H cannot bo denied that the early
days of 1918 were fraught with great
anxiety to the Allies and to the United

than a million of Its young men to tha
armies of -freedom.

1567 DaVs of Horror !
Convulsed Whole World
By the Associated Press
Tfio greatest war lu history end
ed thin morning at C o'clock, Wash
ington time, after 1GC7 days of hor
ror, 'during which virtually the
vhole civilised world ho.1 been cou-
VUECd.
Announcement of tho tremendous
event was tnudo ut the Stato Depart
ment at tho capital at '2M o'clock
this znorninK nnd ln a few seconds
wiia flashed throughout tho rontl
nent by tho Associated Press.
Details of tho terms, dictated by
Marshal Koch on Friday forenoon
to the Gorman armlstlco delegates
have not as yet been given out, but
it la believed they are such a nature
as to protect the world from a ro
Rumption of the strugRlo by the
Germani,. It in assumed tht they
call for the demobilisation of Ger
many's army, the surrender of part
of her fleet and tho dismantling ot
the rest and the evacuation of cc
cupled portlotiH of I'Vanco and Bel
Blum and of Alsace-Lorraine. It is
probable also that Germany han
ugrced to call home all her troops
now ln Russia and Rumania.
The terse announcement cf the
State Department did not tell any
thing of the ncene at Marshal Fetch's
headquarters at, the time tho armis
tice was signed. It was stated, how
ever, that at C o'clock, Paris time,
the signatures of Germany's dele
gates wero nftlxed to the document
which blasted forever the dreams
which embroiled the world ln n
otrugglo which has cost, at the very
lowest estimate, 10,000,000 lives.
Two More Monarch Kail
Wlion tho war began tho Teutonic
alllanco was headed by two of the
proudest houses ln history tho
Ilohensollerns und the Ilapsburgs.
Today, William II of Germany is a
fugltlvo ln Holland and Charles I of
Austria, whtlo ho muy be still In his
country, has been strippedjof powor
and has seen hl3 empire shattered
Into pieces.
Ferdinand of Bulgaria, another of
the rules ln tho Teutonic! combi
nation, has fled from his country, und
Mohammed V of Turkey, who also
Joined ln the attempt of Germany,,
to dominate the world, is dead, slain,
it is said, by the hand of an assassin.
Ilwolt Moves Swiftly
Whtlo the curtain was rolling
down on the most stupendous trag
edy in mankind's history, events
were moving with terrible swiftness
in Germany, tho nation about which
revolved the plot and counterplot of
the drama. Berlin. Lelpslc, Stutt
gart, Cologne, Hamburg and Frank
fort are In the hands of tho revolu
tionists who last week raised the red
flag at Kiel. Germany's navy ap
parently Is scattered into disjointed
units, each seeking sanctuary ln
Danish ports or waiting In German
harbors for the latest turn of events.
Crowds singing tho "Marseillaise"
are marching through the streets of
autocratic Berlin, and a soldiers' and
workmen's council has taken over
tho government of tho empire.
Three New Republics
Wurtembarg, Schleswig-Holsteln
and Ilesso-Darmstadt havo declared
themselves Independent republics,
following tho action taken by Ba
varia last Friday, Wilhelm It of
Wurtemberg Is reported to have ab
dicated. Paxony Is said to be near a.
like declaration, and the revolution
ists are said to bo In control at
Dresden,
Tho republic of Poland has terved
official notice on Austria that Poland
has annexed the crownland of
Gallcla.
Armlfrt Move Forward
As tho last hours of the mighty
combat drew near French, British,
Belgian and American forces were
rapidly pushing the last German
troops from France and Belgium.
General Pershing's men attacked
yesterday over a front of seventy
one miles from the Meuse southeast
ward Into Lorraine. This drive, prob
ably the last to be recorded ln tho
war, gained an average of two or
three "miles and approached within
ten miles of tho fortress of Metz.
William May Be Extradited
It Is suggested that William
Hohenzollcrn is not safe from the
consequences of his deed, even
though he hoa fled to Holland. After
tho sinking of tno iuaitania ana
during the early days of aerial raids
on London he was three times In
dicted for murder In England.
Under international law. It Is said,
requlrltlon for his extradition may
be mado by England under the in
dictments still standing against him.
