Probably in the lives of no one living, has the New Year’s greet ing been possessed of such mean ing, as it does at the present time. Seldom in all history, has a year dawned with more potential pos- sibilties for being new in wider scope and sense and bringing deeper happiness, than that of 1919. For the whole civilized world at least, it is the dawn of a new era, which promises an en tirely new order of things, work ing for the betterment of man kind and civilization. It is a new era for Belgium liberated and delivered from the iron heel of her oppressor. It is a new era for storm swept France to rebuild and restore her devasted towns, villages and fields. It is a new era for Britain in social development, in classes be ing levelled, in far less luxury, in truer love of industry, in im proved education, in woman’s life mightily uplifted and in the provision of work for all. It is a new era for her great colonies Canada, Australasia, and Africa, as they enter into larger spheres of influence within the empire and outside. It is a new era for Italy, in re gaining all of “Italia Irredenta," with perhaps additional territory. It is a new era for the smaller nations in that their right of self development is assured, and pro tection afforded them in this, by the larger and stronger. It is a new era for the U. S. A. Henceforth they will exeri an in fluence unparalleled in the histo ry of any other nation. An in fluence, which if rightly used, will bring to them honor and glory of a lustre which fadeth not away. It is a new era for the central powers, which may enable them eventually to rehabilitate them selves in the regard of the world. Yes, a most momentous dawn is breaking over the whole world. May it indeed prove the dawn of that day which the prophet of old, foresaw and foretold, when on a scarred and scorched earth the Sun of Righteousness would arise with healing in his wings. Thursday, January 2, 1919 EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS Additional evidence of an in disputable nature has just been furnished by Prince Albert of Monaco, in placing the responsi bility of the war on the Kaiser. I beg to inform the public generally, that hav The Prince has given to the ing bought out the well known grocery busi Associated Press a letter which ness of L. A. Chapman, I shall be pleased to he had addressed to the Ex-Kais er, and which rivals in import meet all his old customers and a great many ance the revelations made by ones. My aim will be to continue the same Prince Lichnowsky the former efficient service as has been maintained in the German ambassador to Great past by my predecesor. Britain. In this the prince re At all times it will be my endeavor to please minds the kaiser that for 17 years, f he had been warning him against in every respect. ? the course he had been pursuing V y Wishing a happy New Year to all. and proceeds: “It was open to y y you to become the greatest figure of all time if you had directed y your power to repairing the in justice weighing on Europe and given your high authority to the ? ¡S ideals of right, justice and peace to which mankind now is eagerly Successor to L. A. Chapman turning. But instead you main y tained the brutal customs of a t V military monarchy until Germany which could have won world power based on civilization, has dragged you down in its false ideas and blind folly.” Whittier’s words form an apt commentary on the above: I Warren McWill « “Of all the words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these, ‘It might have been.’ ’’ The ceremony at the London guild hall on Saturday, in honor of President Wilson, was more striking than the banquet at Buck ingham palace. The old hall is one of London’s most notable fanes, only the Tower and St. Paul’s cathedral and Westminster Abbey and Hall rivalling it in historic associations. The Lord Mayor was formerly a sort of king within the limits of the old city of London, which covers an area of a mile square. Even to day, the King of England can not theoretically cross the bound aries without the consent of the Lord Mayor. On state occasions the latter meets the monarch at the border and graciously allows him to enter. The ceremony while somewhat farcical, yet is picturesque and appeals to the historic sense. Edgar B. Piper of the Oregon ian was one of a party of editors to visit England and the war zone, as guests of the British government. On his return he published a series of letters in his paper, which were very illum inating. The concluding one appeared Sunday and in it he en umerated the main impressions of what had been seen and heard. These covered fifteen points, go ing President Wilson one better. The last one stated the main factors which proved decisive, namely: (a) the naval leadership of Great Britain in the wars: (b) the military leadership of France: (c) the political leader- si.ip of America. This puts the case in a nutshell. There's a. Salesman from Yirgim ía who was chewing and swapping yarns with the men on the Post Office corner. “Have a chew,” says he to Jake. Jake doesn’t think he’s chew- ingunless his cheek bulges out like he had the mumps. “Call that a chew?” ne snorts. “Sure!” says the salesman. “This is Real Gravely. That small chew satisfies, and the longer you chew it the better it tastes. That’s why it doesn’t cost anything extra to chew this class of tobacco.” • • • • I t / mi f u r t k t r — t k a t 't toky yaw ta n to* tko to o d tatto o f 1 Jii 1 I jn • / 1 a k o tta w ith - am m tr a t a i l.
