F()LLm We are living, we are moving i In a grand and awful time In an age on ages telling To be living is sublime. Almost as if by magic, the thrones of the autocrats of Europe have fallen before the blows of the armies of democracy. The Kaiser, and Czars and Kings and kinglets have been svept aside. ; Royal privileges musty with the traditions of thousands of years are discarded like the putting aside of an outworn garment. And this process was hastened, and possibly its accomplishment was only made possible, by the wonderfully awift and efficient work of the armies of the United States, hurled to the rescue at a seem ingly critical time, and followed up. with a force that no human agency could halt. ( And the great contribution to the cause of world democracy and order and decency was made from motives absolutely unselfish. . The Yanks were the modern Crusaders, but equipped for victorious effectiveness beyond the wildest dreams of the old Crusaders. And now that Democracy is triumphant on the bloody fields of battle and in the diplomatic councils of the Old World, it will be the steady aim of the great Republic of the New World to continue to play her supremely important part in the carrying forward of the work so well begun and so far so brilliantly accomplished, to the ultimate end of entire success. The United States has ushered in the golden age of unselfish ervice. . v We will be the head almoner of the world. We will bind up the wounds; we will feed the hungry; we will bring order out of chaos. And all, all only for the good of all the peoples, victors and van quished, and for the betterment and the uplifting of all mankind. Some of the Bolsheviki mutineers on the German battleshhs are disposed to start something. But the Versailles conference had this very thing in mind," and those misguided Hun sea soldiers wilL surely "get theirs,' and get it good and plenty, if they monkey with the buzz saw.
