New Year's j Prediction
By Geo W. B. Conrad,- . . Standing on the threshold of a new O ear, my rolnd naturally reverts to the ! many events of the old year. "The old J ear passes out -with its many Joys end sorrows, Joys because . of i . the '"losing of the world's greatest war; and sorrows because of the great and unprecedented sacrifice of human life. But to give up one's life for a great principle Is not sacrifice; it is the method through which the Almighty makes known and perpetuates his . purposes. Ko one will deny that the , . world is made better ; through this great sacrifice. ' - It was an intelligent, worthy sacrifice.' as evinced by the fact that every-
one adjusted himself uncomplainingly to the, conditions existing.. Above all .things this war has "opened the eyes of the blind and brought freedom to the captive" those blind to the Im- - mortal principles of the '.'Prince of , Peace," and freedom to those whose lives were characteristic of pure selfishness, with no thought of his fellowPan. . . Let our one wish be that peoples ot the world truly realize the immortal doctrine of . Fatherhood of God and brotherhood .of M man. "How can ye love God whom ye have not seen and . hate your brother whom you do see?" - ; Through the acceptance of this great - . principle all selfishness shall vanish, , and race prejudice which has done so much to hinder our real progress will he a thing of the past. H. G. Wells, rhe noted writer in commenting recently on this subject says: "I am con-
vinced that there is no more evil thing : In 'this present world than race prejudice; it is the worst single thing in i life now.'' - :.- ;. I . . , . Speaking of our own great country, let us strive to live up to the ideals as promulgated in the Declaration of ; Independence and the Fourteenth - Amendment. Is there not in these ' rreat principles a suggestion of the Sermon on the Mount? vv Let us hope also that the New Year ill find tbe human family closer together religiously. No one will quesr :ion that the church has been handicapped by the exercise of religious , prejudice. What a, beautiful thought " .- when we realize the unselfishness and
. . ioyal work of the Jewish Rabbi, Catholic and Protestant on the battlefield.

LOCAL SOLDIER SAW ACTION III BIG BATTLES
Another "Dad's letter" cornea from Robert Clark,-written on German paper, with a German pen and with "fatherland". Ink. The letter was written from Jarney, France. - -' Clark says: , i '' -' - X "Am going to write you a little of what I have been doing, father. Sailed on the Grampian June 11. There were thirteen vessels and a battleship leading the way. , Saw no submarines and landed safely on June ?4 at-LlVr erpool. . : "'."-. ; ' ,.. ' -' ' ' "We followed the Germans for several days and I got my first Hun In that first skirmish. The Germans stopped at the Vesle river and gave battle, . We were stationed at Chateau Thierry on the other side of the river from Fismes, which waB about three miles from the lines. We -were on one side of the river;-the Germans on the other. We wentinto action two times here. Later we were removed to another sector at St. Blain and were there near Tour for -two weeks. "Our division struck next on the St. Mlbiel salient, but it did not mean anything to us, the infantry Just walked over to their objective. : "Our next drive was the biggest the Argonne. We fired from Dead Han's Hill 304. The -barrage of the artillery dug and chased the Germans out. The French and English had said we couldn't do this. . After this the Germans went out and beat It" to the rear. That night we stood on guard all night long waiting for a fair calling for barrage, but nothing happened. The next morning we advanced and taking a good position fired ! "Our artillery went blank after this as we had out-distanced . them and marshy land was between us. The Germans would shell as fast as the engineers' could build the roads. But somehow we beat them. Then our atrcrafts came to the rescue, too. We sure had a hot time. " "Later, we were caught by our own artillery and here is where we lost our men. After that we, did a little guard duty on the" first lines and then went to the rear, , Had been in action 24 days. We had not been in the lines all that time of course, but had worked in reliefs," making everything safe for the infantry. '. "We went to Euville for a rest and the Sunday night before the armistice was signed we moved back to the rear lines. If the armistice had not been signed we would have, been in another barrage tbe morning of tbe 12th, and would . have gone over the top with Mets as our objective.. ' V. f ."About November , 14th we went back to Euville and are now on our way to Germany, to occupy some territory."v" . : . ; -

0E1AIIDS PLACE FOR JAPAir VITII -JKTOF ALLIES (By Associated Press ' TOKIO, Dec. 31 "Japan should demand at the peace conference," writes Iichyro Tokutoml, Japan's foremost journalist, '.'that she be treated as a member of the company , of the victorious powers; not placed in a position of splendid isolation. Japan has done her bit- in the war and now that the war is over we do not want to have Japan put aside as a nation of no account." V Mr. Tokutoml pays a glowing tribute to Marquis Saionji, Japan's principal plenipotentiary. He says the marquis was intellectually ; very liberal and democratic, though an out and out aristocrat In his tastes and private life. He lived and studied long in France. "What Marquis Saionji brings home from France," writes Mr.. Tokutoml, "will be of spiritual benefit. And this is what Japan wants. Of sharp, cunning, good bargain drivers there are not a few among our diplomats -and politicians, but Japan must be represented at so momentous a conference by a man who is more than all that. Temperamentally Marquis Saionji is more Latin than Anglo-Saxon and is the reverse of Teuton." ,
