Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. (Clarence ‘Clyde (Creeden was “chief engineer if 1918, on the U. S. S. Western Light, a ship returning to this country from* France. In midocean on November "49, 1918, he was handed a news sheet from the radio operator’s of!fice. Yesterday he brought that sheet into the Nugget office. Said (Mr. Creeden: “That is what we started out to do 24 years ago. This was the promise. Today, because the promise was not kept, we afe engaged in a still bigger war, a war that encloses the earth ‘like a great vise squeezing the moons thereon until the ‘blood TunSs.’ This is the news ‘sheet that was handed Mr. Creeden 24 years ago: “UJ. 8. Navy Press (iMarch 11, 1918). “‘Paris: Treaty of Peace between allied and associated powers was handed to German plenipotentaries advisers today. treaty ever drawn. It consists of over ten thousand words in fifteen measures. By it Germany loses great territories including Alsace Lorraine and reduces all her political and territorial ventures outside of Europe. “Her army is reduced to one hundred thousand men including officers. Conscription within German territories is abolished. Her navy is reduced to six battleships, six light cruisers, twelve torpedo boats but no subbarines. “Her navy personnel to consist of not over fifteen thousand men. And naval and military forces are abolished altogether. Her fortifieations must be dismantled and the Kied canal must be opened to all nations. Germany must reimburse all civilian damages beginning with a payment of twenty billion marks. ' "The Kaiser is to be tried by an international court. Germany must accept an international league of nations in: principle, but without membership in it. Report disposition of colonies left to the allies. Germany cedes to Belgium 392 square miles of territory, also cedes to Japan all of Tsingtao Peninsula. All the allies were represented at today’s meeting. Today's treaty terms’spell end of German power. ‘*Wiashing§on——President Wilson called by cable today on an extension of congress to meet Monday, November 18, Secretary Tumulty making announcement. Of course it would be impossible for the president to be here on day of opening. Officials stated that president was guided largely at an early date by advice of Secretary Glass as to the necessity of passing an annual appropriation measure which failed to pass at closing day of last session. The aggregate more than four billions. “‘Washington—iNavy is leading today in greatest drive for victory loan campaign, holding mass meetings and giving concerts.” It is interesting to review that » first news bulletin of the ‘‘peace”’ flashed to the Navy ships around the world, on that first Armistice Day. Much water has flowed under the bridge since that day, but one thing we can be sure of. If the United States on that day had as. sumed the leadership in world affairs that our President advocated, a position to which it was justly entitled, we should not today see our sons marching into battles around the world . Can 130 million, people learn a2 lesson of ‘history thatwas written only 24 years ago? We are just optimistic enough to think they can. The lesson is so recent that perhaps half of those living in the United States today can remember their experience. When this war is done let us not instantly dismiss our armies and the navy. Let us keep a force large enough to insure peace. This insurance will cost much less than war. Mrs. Bill Hateh of Clark street went to San Francisco: Tuesday to meet her husband who arrived Monday from Pearl Hanbor, where he has been employed in war work the past year.
