Major Shaw in a letter dated Dec.
19th states that Lieut. Earl O'Neil left
on that day with a draft of men for
France. He was the first officer to go
that went overseas with the Battle as
he has proven himself to be a good

BillEF REVIEW OF YE/11
DATES IN 1916 THAT WILL JIAVE
PLACE IN HISTORY.
The Allied Nations Regan to Exert
Their Strength After Months of
Preparation and the Evidence
Started to Accumulate That the
Teutonic Powers Were Sure to
Go Down to Defeat in the End.
lil7 year 1916 will be re-
membered in history as the
year in which, the tide
changed in the Great War
and the Allies secured the advantage
over the Central Powers. During
1915 the Teutons scoffed heavily,
while the Allies had to content them -
.selves with holding fast and prepar-
ing to smash their way to final Vic-
tory. Last January opened with Very
few encouraging signs on the hori-
zon. Tho Gallipoli campaign had
Just proved a failure; Serbia was
added to the list of martyred nations;
General Townahend's force had been
cut oft in Kut -el -Amara, and Russia
still seemed prostrated from the de-
feats of the previous spring. The
Alltes began slowly to show signs of
growing power, and in a few months
the initiative commenced to pass
from the hands of the Teutons. Be-
fore the end of the summer the
Allies had taken the offensive on
every front. Now the Germans and
their friends are on the defensive on
every front with the single exception
of Roumania, where the end is not
yet. Final victory for the cause of
civilization is assured.
