JIJ - It - I f T J I- A. uuiiie uiu nut uie in vain, xsngmer days for all mankind have dawned with the passing of the year 1918. HOW THE WAR WAS WON . j The year opened with 'the opinion 1 1 ' i - A- 1 J generally prevailing tnai ine wonu war could not be brought to a conclu sion in less than eighteen months. It was an open secret that the German high command was planning to make a i supreme effort on the western front, and during Tths early days of .1918 it was known that many divisions of German troops, released from the Rus sian frontV were being transferred to the west front in preparation for the grand offensive. ' ' Interest during these days centered in events that were transpiring - In sions in "which President Wilson and Chancellor von Hertling .figured. On January 8 President Wilson, in an ad dress to congress, promulgated the amous "14 points" which he declared should form the basis of world peace. ;j In Russia Premier Lenlne and For emen Minister Trotzkv intrenched themselves In power by dissolving the constituent assembly which met at Pe trograd, January 18. On January 21 an aii-uussian congress or Soviets was convened- to replace the 'constituent as sembly. There was little activity on any front during the month, but on January 30 it was announced officially that American troops , were holding front-Hnp trpnfhpa in Frnnne. nwnnv. lng a sector northwest of Toul. i ' I The Americans holding this sector received their baptism of fire when they repulsed a vigorous-German raid. ine Americans lost two Killed, rour wounded and one missing. On Febru ary 5 the steamerTuscania, carrying 2,179 American soldiers, was torpe doed and sunk, with a loss of 159 lives. On February 9 the Ukraine signed a separate treaty of peace with the central powers. S Conditions In Russia continued to be chaotic. The bolshevik!; declared the war with Germany over but . re fused to sign the( peace treaty demand ed by Germany. The Germans there upon renewed hostilities against Rus sia, capturing Reval, Russian naval base, and advancing on Petrograd. Le- mna anr T'mtvh-v than Q nnmiTipo that ,. Russia was forced to accept the Ger man peace terms. On March 3 the Russian delegates at Brest-Litovsk signed the peace treaty with Germany. I Germans Begin Great DriVe. On March 21 the long-heralded of fensive, of the Germans was launched. A terrific blow was delivered against the British lines . on a front of more i"u W UIIICO! CAlCUUlUg UUU1 L11C XVI V" er Olse, near La 'Fere, to the Sensee river, about Croiselles Wave after wave of the finest; German troops were hurled at the British lines, J and In a few days had advanced 15 miles. The British Fifth army at" the point where it touched the French lines was rout ed, and for a time the allies faced dis aster. The Germans continued to push southward, and, at the end of 15 days BROUGHT PEACE had advanced 47 miles from La Fere and were within six miles of Amiens. Here the advance was halted. In the meantime, on March 29. the allies, fac ing a catastrophe, at last agreed upon a unification of command, and General Foch, the brilliant French leader, was placed in supreme command of all the allied armies. A few days-after the launching of this drive. Paris was bombarded by a "mystery" gun which it was known whs at least 62 miles away. On March 29. Good Friday, this long-range gun made a direct hit on a Paris church and 75 worshipers were killed. On April 10.. the Germans shifted their attack and began the second phase of their offensive a drive against the British in Flanders with the channel ports as the objective. Here again theBrItish rere forced to give ground, but there was no break such as occurred earlier on the Somme front. The British and Portuguese were swept back along the River Lys. ! The Germans took the Messines ridge : and threw 125.000 men against the British belov Ypres. But the Ypres defenses held firm, and in the west the Germans failed in their efforts to reach Hazebrouck. The terrific drive spent itself and the Germans had failed , to threaten the channel ports seriously. ! On April 22 the British navy execut ed one of the spectacular feats of the war. blocking the channel of , Zee brugge, a German submarine base. Germans Renew Offensive. On May 27 the Germans renewed the offensive with a powerful attack between the Aisne and the Marne. In a day they swept over the Chemin-des-. Dames on the heights north of the Aisne and crossed the river in a rush. Next they took Soissons and reached the Vesle. On they went to the Marne, extending their front on the river from Chateau-Thierry to Verneuil, and threatening Reims in their advance. The drive was halted with the Ger mans occupying a front 16 miles wide on the Marne. In the meantime the Americans had won attention on May 28 by taking Cnntigny on' the Picardy front in a brilliant attack. On May 25. German U-boats began operations off the const of the United States, sinking 11 ships. The German drive for Paris was re sumed but the turning point was reached when on June 6 and 7 Ameri can marines were thrown across the path of the advancing army at Chateau Thierry. The Americans not only stopped the Germans but drove them back two miles, capturing several hun dred prisoners. ,In an effort to unite the Somme sali ent with that of the Marne to provide a base for another move toward Paris, the Germans launched another heavy attack west of Noyon on June 10. They made considerable gains on a 20-mile front but the drive was halted within two days. 1 Austrian Offensive Is Fiasco. Attention was transferred from France to Italy when on June 15 the Austrians "opened an offensive on- the Italian front from Asiago plateau ; to the sea. The attack proved a complete fiasco. It was repulsed at. all p&ints and the Italians pursued the fleeing A,ustrians across the Piave, taking 45, 000 prisoners. The German commanders, made one last effort to break through to Paris when the crown prince's army group on July. 15, the morning after the French national holiday, launched an offensive along a front from Chateau Thierry to Massiges, 30 miles east of Reims. -y This fifth and last phase of the great" offensive failed most signally, being stopped on the third day. The Ameri can forces played a big part in this sec ond decisive battle of the Marne. East of Chateau-Thierry the Germans forced a passage across the Marne and the Americans who opposed them were forced to fall back temporarily. Then, In a brilliant counter-attack, the Amer icans drove -the Germans back across the Marne, taking 1,500 prisoners, in cluding a complete brigade, staff. ".J ..... Allied Offensive Opens. On July 18 General Foch assumed the offensive. He struck the crown prince s rigm uhuk a vuai mow ana on : the first day the French and Americans fought their way for six miles along the Aisne. reaching the outskirts of Soissons. For two weeks the great counter-offensive continued. On July 29 the Americans met the crack divi sions of German guards , and defeated them in a stubborn battle at Sergy. Soissons fell to the French on August 2 and by the following day the entire Soissons-Reims salient had been wiped out. : ' The indignation of the British peo ple, -aroused by the Urboatj outrages perpetrated by the Germans, was in tensified early In July when news was received of the sinking by a subma rined of the hospital .ship ' Llandovery Castle, carrying wounded men and nurses between Canada and England, causing a' loss of 258 persons, includ ing 12 nurses. The United States con tinued to speed up its war activities' during July, and early In the month It was announced that Americans over seas or on the way numbered 1,019.115.; I The United States on July 7 agreed to allied action in Russia and prepara tions were begun for an allied military expedition into Siberia. On the same day Count von Mirbach, German am bassador to Russia, was slain at Mos cow. On July 8 it was announced that the Murman coast of Russia bad thrown off bolshevik rule and Invited aid from the allies. During July the first reports came from Russia of the executions of the former czar by a local soviet and. these reports later were confirmed. f V ' . General Foch opened the second phase of his counter-offensive on Au gust 8 when a surprise attack was launched on a 20-mlle front in Picardy, the allies gaining seven miles at some points and taking 7,000 prisoners. The following day Haig's men gained 13 miles in Picardy and the next day the French, attacking on a 20-mile front, wiped Out the Montdidier salient. Foch Hammers Foe. Then followed a series of sledge hammer blows oa all portions of the j front, , all - fitting into the general ; scheme of attack worked out by the ; master jnind of Foch. On August 20 : Lassigny fell and the former Somme front was restored. British and French j armies, aided by American units, con tinued the smash on the Somme front and on August 30 the Germans were hurled across the Sommei The British took Bapaume and were close to Peronne. Roye fell to the French and dozens of small towns were wrested from the invaders. Further north the British smashed the Hindenburg line and forced the Germans to begin a re treat from the Lys salient. On September 12, the First Amerl- can army, under the, direct command of General Pershing, began a brilliant action which wiped 1Ut the difficult St. Mini el salient in three "days. The Americans took 20.000 prisoners in this action. Serbian, French and Italian forces, on September 18, launched a big drive against the Bulgars in Macedonia. Al most simultaneously the British broke the Turk lines in the Holy Land. The Turkish army was shattered, and by September, 27 had lost 45.000 men In prisoners. In the meantime the allies smashed the Hindenburg line along a 22-mile front in the St. Quentin sector, and it. was announced at Washington that the United States now had 1.750. 000 men across the sea to aid in crush ing the crumbling armies of the enemy. The first decisive break In the ranks of the central empires came on Sep tember 27, when General Mallnoff, commander of the Bulgar armies which were routed before the advanc ing Serbs and . French, asked for an armistice. On September 30 Bulgaria accepted the armistice terms pro posed by the allies and surrendered unconditionally. Teutons Move for Peace. Turkey moved for peace on October 4 and the German people were thrown into a panic as they saw their allies crumbling. Prince Max. who had now become German chancellor, addressed a note to President Wilson, asking that steps be taken immediately to conclude an armistice and to open peace nego tiations President Wilson answered by asking whether he spoke for the people or the then rulers of the empire and whether the proposal was based on an acceptance of the presidents 14 peace points. Meanwhile the drive on the west front continued, and the Ger mans were driven from much ground that they had held since 1914. The Hindenburg line was smashed at many points. Pershing's men broke the foe's main line of defense west of the Meuse, and after days of hitter fighting clear ed the Germans out of Argonne forest. The Germans were forced to abandon the Chemin des Dares and to retreat on a long line from Laon as. far east as Argonne. Germany, sent another note to Pres ident Wilson on October 12. accepting the tetter's 14 peace principles . and urging the president to transmit its proposal for an armistice to the allies Prince Max assured the president that by reason of constitutional changes the existing German government spoke for the people. President Wilson re plied two days later, rejecting the Ger man proposals, declaring that any arm istice must be granted by the military commanders and must guarantee the continued supremacy of the allied arms. ! The answer of the allied armies to the German peace proposals was to deliver still harder blows at the retir ing enemy. In the north the Belgian army, led by King Albert co-operating with the British, began to sweep 'the Germans from the Belgian coast. , On October 17 the Germans were driv en from Ostend and Bruges and the British occupied Lille. The whole west front was In motion. The allies i swpnt eastward throuch Belsliim nH through the Industrial regions of France. , Chancellor Max, on October 21, sent another peace note to President Wil son, denying the charges that the Ger mans had been guilty of atrocities on land and sea. and again giving assur ances that the new government repre sented the people of Germany. .Presi dent Wilson replied two days later, agreeing to transmit the request for an armistice to the allies. Italians Rout Austrians. As this note was delivered the allies were smashing the Germans at all points on the western front and on October 24 the Italians launched a great offensive aga i nst the Austrians on the Piave front, who within a few days were in headlong flight with ( the Italians in pursuit. The Americans continued to smash the Germans In vi cious attacks. west of the Meuse. ' ' - The-month of November opened with Ihe German armies' facing utter- rout, the armies of .ier,? allies completely shattered and the end In sight.- Tur key surrendered unconditionally to the British and the Austrians' begged for an armistice while their armies were in full flight. The allied war. council at Versailles began to prepare the terms to be submitted to the Germans. The American First army smashed the German lines at , Grand Pre and advanced seven .miles west of the Meuse as the enemy line cracked. Austria-Hungary, ! on November 3, accepted the armistice terms which provided for' unconditional surrender. hostilities ceasing at thrfee o'clock November 4. On . November 5, President Wilson notified "Germany to apply to Marshal Foch for terms, he having been in formed that they had been prepared by the allied war council. German envoys were appointed and approached the allied lines but In the meantime the allied armies did" not lessen the pressure they were exert ing on the enemy. The Americans, having inflicted a severe defeat on the enemy, clearing the whole front be tween the Meuse and the Aisne, rapid ly advanced toward Sedan, cutting the vital communications between Metz and the long German line extending to the north. The Germans, as a result of the American advance, faced the necessity of undertaking a general re treat to save their armies from being cut off. On November 9 the kaiser abdicat ed and the crown prince renounced his claims to the throne. The govern ment of Germany passed Into the con trol of the social democrats and Herr Ebert was made chancellor. The kaiser fled to Holland and was per mitted to remain there by the Dutch authorities- At the same time vari ous other German princes abdicated and soldiers and workmen's councils sprang into existence at many points; Germans Sign Armistice. Un .November 11 the German en voys signed the armistice which amounted practically to unconditional surrender. Under the terms Of the armistice Germany agreed to evtffcu ate all Invaded territory and retire behind the Rhine, the allies to follow and hold all Important crossings of the Rhine. The Germans agreed to surrender the greater part of their navy and thousands of heavy guns and airplanes, rendering them unable to renew hostilities. The armistice became effective at 11 a. m., Paris time, November 11 Thus the ereat world war virtually came to an end, although technically it will end only with the signing of the peace treaty. With the cessation of hostilities revolution spread through Germany i and Austria. Emperor Charles of Austria abdicated and a people's gov ernment Was set up. Field Marshal von Hindenburg re mained in supreme command of the German armies and began to direct the retirement of the Germans in ac cordance with the terms of the armis tice. Carrying out the terms of the armis tice the Germans surrendered 71 war ships to the allies on November 21. Conditions were very unsettled in Germany during the closing weeks of the year, the socialist government ap parently sharing power with the sol diers and workmen's councils. Plans were under discussion for the sum moning of a constituent assembly to determine the future character of the government but activities of . the rad ical socialistic element under the lead ership of Herr Llebknecht threatened to disrupt the entire fortr.ier empire. On November 29 President Wilson announced that be would head the American delegation to the peace conference and that the other dele gates would be Secretary of Stsite Lansing, Col. E. . M. House. Henry White, former ambassador to France, and Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, United States military representative on the supreme war council. The president, accompanied by the other peace dele gates and a large party of assistants, sailed for France December 4. President Wilson arrived at Brest December 13 and proceeded to Paris, where he was given an enthusiastic re ception. He at once entered Into con ference with the allied leaders, in prep aration for the opening of the peace conference in January. British, French, American and Bel gian armies of occupation advanced into Germany as the Germans retired in accordance with the armistice, the allied armies reaching the Rhine dwv ing the early days of December. DOMESTIC AFFAIRS Practically every phase of American life felt the dominating influence of war throughout the year 1918. ' In the field of national legislation woman's suffrage and nation-wide pro hibition were urged as war measures. The woman's suffrage amendment was defeated in the senate October 1, after having passed the house. A nation-wide prohibition measure, to become effective June 30, 1919. was enacted by congress and approved by the president November 22. On Sep tember 6 President Wilson had or dered the manufacture of malt liquor stopped on December 1, as a food conservation measure. ; The government, early in the year, began to tighten its control over indus try and business for the purpose .of furthering war efforts and protecting the public. On January 16, to"reHeve a serious coal shortage which threatened to delay the shipment of war' supplies to France, Fuel Administrator Garfield ordered a general shutdown of Indus try and business In all. states east of the Mississippi river f orc a period of five days and ten succeeding Mondays. On; February 13 the order for heatless .Mondays was rescinded. , . - 1 Congress increased the safeguards thrown about-war Industries, by pass- ng the "sabotage" bill, carrying pen alties of $10,000 fine and 30 years' im prisonment for destruction of war ma terials or . interference with war indus tries. " President " Wilson signed this measure on April 20. The government also prosecuted vigorously many per sons accused of violation of the espion-' age act. On August ,17, 100 members of the I. W. W. were convicted of dis loyalty in the federal court at Chicago, after a "trial lasting several : months. Government control of the railroads was followed during this year by gov ernment control of all telegraph and telephone lines. Congress on July 13 authorized the president to take con trol of the wires" and the government assumed control on July 31. Oh No vember 17, the government . also took control of all Atlantic cable lines. ' . The first general election since the United States entered the war was held on November.' The Republicans won both houses of congress, the sen ate by a majority of two- and . the house by a margin of more than forty. During September. October and No vember the entire country was swept by a serious epidemic of Spanish In fluenza. Thousands of soldiers in the army camps) and other thousands of civilians succumbed thereto and to pneumonia. The country was surprised on No vember 22 by the resignation of Wil liam G.i McAdoo as secretary of the treasury and director general of the railroads. Representative Carter Glass of Virginia was named to succeed Mr. McAdoo as secretary of the treasury December 5. . , On November 28 Governor Stephens of California commuted to life impris onment the death sentence of TJomas J. Mooney, convicted in connection with the death of ten persons from a bomb explosion in San Francisco dur ing a preparedness parade July 22, 1916. . Plan .for making the United States navy second to that of no other coun try for 1925 were disclosed to congress by Rear Admiral Badger, chairman of the executive committee of the general board 'of the navy December 12. FOREIGN The map of Europe was being re made as the year 1918 came to a close. The Czecho-Slovak republic was alj ready in existence before tne close of the war, having been recognized -as an independent belligerent government by the United States, Great, Britain, France and Italy, but the coming of peace saw the formal establishment of this new government at Prague. The end of the War also practically assured the rising of a great new Poland, made up of mostrif not "all, of the territory divided up years ago among Germany, Austria and Russia. Finland threw off the shackles placed upon her by Russia and out of the turmoil of civil war emerged as a free and independent nation. The peoples of other smaller subject states asserted their independ . ence. . Civil war continued to threaten tfie new republic of China throughout 'the year. Hsu Shih Chang was elected president of the republic on Septem ber 6 and during the next few months reports indicated a possibility of an agreement being reached between the northern and southern sections of the country. Peru and Chile were reported on the brink of war during the closing weeks of the year. The trouble between these countries was an outgrowth of the nitrate war of years ago in which Chile won Taona and Arlca. Dr. Sidonia, Paes, president of Por tugal, was shot and killed at Lisbon, December 15. The assassin was killed by the crowd that witnessed the crime, Two days later Admiral Canto Y. Cas tro was elected president of Portugal. On December 16 the Finnish diet -elected General Mannerheim regent of Finland. ' LAB OH AND INDUSTRY Labor unrest, resulting in many .strikes, threatened to seriously ham per the government's war preparations early In the year but through a spirit of co-operation shown by both labor and capital the danger was averted and there was little labor trouble during the greater part of the year. During the early days of the yeai disaffection appeared among the work ers in the shipyards and by February 12 the situation had assumed a serious aspect with strikes In effect in five yards. By February 16 the strike had spread still further in 5 spite of an ad vance in wages announced by the la bor adjustment board. On February 17, .President Wilson, in a letter to William L. Hutcheson, head of the United Brotherhood of Car penters and Joiners, concerning the ship carpenters strike, denied the right of labor to strike at that critical junc ture. "Will you co-operate or will you obstruct?" the- president asked. The workmen . responded to the president's appeal and the strike was declared off. At the same time Secretary of Labor . . . - Wilson announced tne personnel or a national noara or moor, to be com posed of representatives of both labor and capital. On February 24 this board opened a conference for the purpose of establishing a basis for the settlement of disputes during the war. ? Former President William EL Taft, chosen by the employers, and Frank P. Walsh. selected by the lbor organizations, al ternated as chairman. This confer ence, on March. 29, reached an-agreement providing that all labor disputes arising during the war should be sub mitted to a board-of mediation.
