CHRISTMAS DAY. Christmas day, the day of peace on earth good will to men, is again at hand. The world has not witnessed .much progress during the past twelve months to that end, when thought is given to the frightful gtruggle in Eu- rope, but it is not beyond hope. It is even possible that through this terrible war in which some of the ieading civ- ilized nations of the world aro en- gaged, and from the horrible condi- tions which are resulting therefrom that there will be a greater disposition to look upon peace in a different light #s soon as it has been restored to those nations which are at war. But the anniversary of the birth of our Savior will be observed through- out Christendom nevertheless. It will be on a lesser scale in other countries, because of their troubles, but here joy will reign supreme. We have cause for thanksgiving that we have been spared the ravages of international and internal conflict, but not without stopping to realize the lessons which are being taught by the actions of oth- ers and deploring the fact that they are not enjoying the fruits of peace, the same as we are. Still we are not called upon to dim our faith or to make less merry our Christmas. We should all the more be spurred on to impress upon others the real meaning and benefit of peace. We should fee]l it all the more our duty to do all in our power to aid those who are less fortunate than ourselves and to make stronger the bond of brotherhood. Christmas has its lesson for those at peace as well as those at war. s - A NATURAL RESULT. It is quite in accordance with its move for peace that Germany should rejoice at the note which has been sent to the” belligerent nations by President Wilson, even though it has been carefully stated therein that it was not prompted by any move in be- half of peace but had been contem- plated for some time. Berlin has rea- son to look upon it as a bolster to the effort which it is making nevertheless for it asks for the setting forth of the objects for which each are fighting and such must be looked upon as a basis for the consideration of peace. Germany has even declared its will- ingness to set forth its terms of peace. There is thus reason why Berlin should hail with delight the United States note, but it does not meet with the same reception in other capitals. Tt is even possible to see opposition to it in the speech of King George in proroguing parliament when he de- clared his faith in the ultimate success of the allies’ cause and sald: “The vigorous prosecution of the war must be our single endeavor until we have vindicated the rights so ruthlessly vio- lated by our enemies and established the security of Europe on a sure foun- dation.” This is in keeping with the state- ment by Premier Lloyd George and it Is in accord with the attitude taken by Russia and the other allied na®ions which have recently .announced, their determination to stand together and to push the fight to a successfulggon- clusion, and the very fact that T, lin refolces in the note may be suffit cient reason for the other nations looking upon it with suspicion and disfavor. ISLAND MUST BE FORTIFIED. Denmark has apparently come to the conclusion that it was expected it would when the offer of the United States to purchase the Dahish West Indies for $25,000,000 was made, and that is that it could not afford to turn down the proposition. Generous to the point where they could not with rea- son ask for more if there was a dis- position to part with the small islands 80 far from home, the offer has after lengthy consideration and a vote of the people been accepted, and all that now remains is the formal transfer. . , Monday, Dec. 25, 1916, icy on its ‘part. ‘It was the fact that|can be remedied by rubbing the hands they are not now fortified but are in|with salt and then washing them in a position where they might be seized | cold water.
