Switzerland estimates total 1918 war expenses exceed 209 billion dollars, and the 1918 outlay alone surpasses the combined estimated value of all Germany and its possessions. The Batesville Tribune notes this in its December 19, 1918 issue.
The Kittanning Virginia Free Press quotes that President Wilson believes a Republican Congress will back any war winning policy, while he trusts a Democratic Congress when attacking American industries and adopting free trade. The piece frames this as a key partisan tactic.
Former President Roosevelt hails the election as a victory for straight Americanism while noting the pro-German and pacifist vote backed the Wilson ticket. The piece details Wilson’s peace conference lineup, naming Woodrow Wilson, Robert Lansing, Edward M. House, Henry White, and Tasker Bliss as commissioners and ratifiers with varying influence.
A wartime venting poem denounces German aggression and vengeance, calling the Hun a coward and describing mass suffering. It shifts to a political critique urging Indiana legislators to resist local special bills and promote prudent state lawmaking.
The piece notes time lost in legislative sessions with frequent adjournments and a backlog of about 1200 bills. It argues a sixty day window yields only 43 working days for debate as many measures die in committee. It also mentions U S efforts against tuberculosis led by the National Tuberculosis Association with state and local support.
The 1919 Red Cross budget includes 2 500 000 for anti tuberculosis work instead of the seal sale. Members joining at Christmas will receive ten seals to aid in prevention and treatment efforts. The drive runs December 16 to 23 to push universal Red Cross membership with the seal program not sold this year. Glass stoppers advice: grease to ease sticking.
