LOOKING BACKWARD
Looking backward over the two
years that have lapsed since that
memorable day, April 6, 1917, when
President Wilson signed the joint res
olution of Congress that formally
alligned America with the nations of
the earth that were fighting to save
civilization and liberty from becom
ing a mere memory, it is difficult to
conceive that the span has been so
brief.
Mortal mind finds it difficult to
grasp the immensity of the stupen
dous events that have transpired in
tkflf Kviaf tima fnv AVPni AnV H ! 9
buab Uliu w 11 . t iui . . j
been filled with glorious deeds, each
worthv a Daee in history: deeds of
devotion, of sacrifice, of duty done,
deeds that will grow brighter and
more glorious in the perspective of
the years; deeds that time will illum
ine until they shine with a bright
ness unparalelled in all the ages.
" The wonderful story of America's
accomplishments since her might was
hurled into the breach to stay the
onrush of the horde of Huns that
spring two years ago is a record of
the achievement of the unparalelled,
of the seemingly impossible, and will
form the brightest chapter in the
world's history. The names of those
men who by their deeds of sacrifice,
of natriotism and of devotion to dutv
furnished the theme for this wonder
ful story will form a roll of honor to
be inscribed on tablets of memory
that will never perish.
The wonderful story of America
and the World War the greatest of
all the ages will be told in song and
story, will be illustrated with the
painter's brush, and the figure that
will stand out in greatest relief, that
will loom largest on the horizon of
nistory, growing witn every passing
year and an inspiration for every
American youth, will be that of the
courageous, the indomitable but pa
tient President, Woodrow Wilson.
Inspired by partisan and selfish
ambitions, traducers are attempting
to defeat the very purposes of this
man who now sits at the peace table,
seeking to achieve the full fruits of
the victory that has been won at the
cost of so much blood and treasure;
seeking to bring to a war-worn world
an era of lasting peace. Washing
ton and Lincoln had thpir trnHnpprs
little men who sought to detract from
the greatness of men they could not
even imitate; men whose purity of
purpose and towering intellect they
could not appreciate. But like Wash
ington and Lincoln, Wilson will grow
in the love and admiration of his
country and the world until his fig
ure towers alongside those of the
greatest men of all time Wilson, the
father of the new freedom.
