Prosperity in 1915
Upon Faith in Oiir
Our Nation is being penalized by a crinis of European methods and ideas.
We cannot escape entirely the bitter fruits of a war founded in governments sys
tems where Monarchy, Paternalism, Public Ownership and Autocracy go hand
in hand. l
i
Now as never before we have opportunity to compare American ideals and meth
ods with those practiced in Europe, and to measure what American systems
and institutions have gained for humanity.
Probably we will learn more and more each day of the coming year to appreciate
"all we have and are;" to regard our citizenship in a more precious light; to
see our problems more clearly, more tolerantly. '
The war has made material progress difficult throughout the United States., it has
added to the obstacles of financing constructive efforts. It has enforced
economies upon the large and small; has laid on the shelf plans for many de
sirable things.
Prosperity in this country during the coming year demands above everything else
faith in our Republic and faith between man and man. It cannot be; had in
suspicion and distrust.
i
If this military calamity teaches us a deeper arfj more useful patriotism; if it serves
to advance understanding among us of Inc another's rights and wrongs; if it
removes prejudice and strikes down distrust then this war will not be with
out benefit to the citizens of the United States. '
We hope for prosperity the coming year. To have it will require hard worLcourage
and faith in ourselves. . ., . u

Is described by n London artist, n
member of tho Honorable Artillery
Corps, who, with tho sonsltlvo cyo
pf his fcraft, tolls ot his impressions
with moro than ordinary vividness.
His lotter Is undated, but was pre
sumably written somowhero In Del

pect of having a very hot time,
1 ' which wo havo boon praying for.
ju mo nisi pinco inn iwo wo woro
digging n second lino ot trenches
and enmo In for somo vory hot fire.
Tho next lny thoy caught us as
wo wont to dig In slightly moro
'advanced trenches; and wo lay In
a small ditch for about three hours
with shell and rlflo bullets Jumping
about over our heads and flicking
lenves off tho stunted willow trees
In our ditch. Ono was quite snfo
and rather bored, as It poured with
rain. I played n gamo of plcquot
with tho man next mo and won two
1 francs, then tho rain Btuck tho enrds
I together.
I "Tho night boforo last wo left
at about ti. H was qulto pitch
black and Intensely cold, nnd snow
lay heavily ovcrywhoro on flolds,
roofs and trees aa wo marched
silently through tho vlllngo and out
Into a long, long road with a won
derful nvcnuo of trees llko Hobb-
I.oma'a famous plcturo at tho Nat

J ablo to keep our footing on tho
frozen nnd uneven ground, and al

j booming of guns. Hockots shoot
I up, leaving n long stream of stars,
and allowing' up tho silent country,
1 snowbound nnd vory peaceful-look-Ing,
until ono comes to n vlllago
totally desortod, nil nod walls, heaps
of dobrls and groat obeli holes In
rond and root tolling their dread
ful story, And as If n mlrnrlo had
'happened, there stands tho church
1 untouched.
"Wo halt silently nnd movo on

I knowing whero ono Is, and feeling
caught In on ovory bIiIii, Is dread-
fill to mo. Wo dn guards, each

Ing, with slight sniping to remind

i broken country. Horo wo nro at

penr, a fow whispered orders, and
wo find oursolves In tho trenchos.

ing breakfast. Suddenly my sllco
I of bread nnd Jam Is covored with
clay, knocked off tho top of tho
parapot. Tho snipers aro at work,
and wonderful shots thoy nro, too.
j Over a hundred bullets were put
Just In top of our trench, and when-
'over an observer's head went up to
look through a small Inclosuro, they
(woro at It again. Suddenly their
'batteries opened flro on us, nnd
getting tho rango with marvelous

and pieces of shell como flying Into
I tho trenches. Ono man fiends a

PARIS, Dec. 30. Ab tho war In
Europe progresses, tho difficulties
that besot nowspaper publishers la

greatly Increased. With the out
break of tho war many newspaper'
men wont to tho Tront nnd their
plnccs had to bo filled. Then provi
sion had to bo piado for paper, in
event tho city should bo besieged.
Tho various Journals reduced their
circulation to tho fowest number pos
Blblo, nnd In their destro to econo
mize, cut down their pages from six
to eight sheets, nnd In somo cases
as low aa two pnges. Advertising
dwindled down to nothing, nnd the
proceeds from subscription nnd Mies
wero all that remained. Sacrifices
woro mado on ovcry hand and cur
tailment practiced wherovor possible.
From jHio editor-in-chief to office

or oven 00 por cent word mado, sd

none of its business, nnd also allege
that It Is arbitrary and capricious.
A certain nows story might receive
