Mr. Spotton's entire address was filled with mud -slinging and abusing people of estimable reputation. Such are the big fellow's tactics in order to secure the sympathy of those who do not know the facts. Because that Mr. Musgrove holds a Governmet position he is unable to come back at George on the public platform. wall," to use the -phrase of Field Marshal Haig, were fighting to keep the Teutons from reaching the Chan- nel ports, and farther south, the French army struggled grimly to hold the beast back from Paris. Lit- tle did the Allied world dream in those terrible weeks that in less than four months, the forces of de- mocracy would be triumphant. No prophet could have foretold that during the second week of November the armistice would be signed which meant the complete surrender of Germany. With this collapse came the end of militarism, and the great autocrats of Europe were all, over- thrown. Men who, in July, believed that they were about to dominate the world were fugitives in Novem- ber, flying from the execrations of their Former subjects. Now that the war has become leis - tory, it is interesting to look back at the important dates of the past four years and to trace the gradual growth of the omens that pointed towards the final victory of the En- tente allies. There were .two great factors in the success of the defen- ders oi'. civilization.

In all these Life and death struggles, the Allies came out ie orious, Theymade it certain that the ultimate dstination of the Germans was downfall, and not world domination. Even though the Central Powers could not score a decisive victory, they were able to win spectacular campaigns enough to buoy their peo- ple up with hopes of final triumph. Each summer of the war was ended by them with something that looked like a brilliant feat of arms. In the autumn of 1914, they massacred the Russian armies in East' Prussia, and ended the only invasion of German soil; in 1915 the great Russian re- treat, after a winter of victories against incompetent Austria, took place; in the autumn of that year little Serbia was completely crushed; in the autumn of 1916, Roumania was smashed in a swift and - cruel campaign; and then followed the Russian revolution and the , melting away of the cumbersome but import- ant armies of the Slay. !?he Rua - elan revolution, which was intended to create democracy, brought forth Bolshevikism, tete most important menace that modern civilization must face now that the war is over.
