TIE TREATY OF GHENT

~ ISPATCHES from New York re-
call the fact that had the Euro
- pean war not interfered, there
would begin tomorrow night,
in Ghent, Flanders, celebra-
ton of the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the signing of the treaty of
Ghent by representatives of the United
States and Great Britain. The burgo-
master of Client was to have tender
ed a banquet to fifty American, fifty
English and fifty Canadian delegates
in the hall where the treaty was
signed.
Later. Sulsrave Manor, the ances-
trail home of George Washington in
England. was to have been presented
to the American people by the Bri-
tish peace centenary committee. The
home already has been purchased. 1t
probably will be rehabilitated and pre-
sented later.
Believing, despite the war, the an
niversary should not pass unobserved
in the United States, number of
widely-known citizens or this coun-
try who are interested in the move
ment last night issued a communica-
ton asking that the day be remem-
bered and celebrated at specified
dates beginning February IA, and it
is to be hoped that the idea will he
well received. Now is the time to
talk peace. We have no thought of
war in our hearts. Every tie that
will strengthen the peace bonds be-
tween the United States and any other
nation ought to be fostered.
In light of the fact that Ghent is
now the very center of a bloody war
in which England is one of the con-
testants, it is interesting to note that
one hundred years ago to-day there
was signed in that city the treaty of
peace between Great Britain and the
United States, which marked the close
of what has happily proved to be the
last war between English-speaking
peoples of the earth. The American
Peace Centenary Committee rightfully
holds that this anniversary ought not to
be allowed to pass without inviting the
thoughtful attention of their fellow
citizens to the contrast presented by
the century-long period of peace
which English-spealling peoples have
enjoyed among themselves on the one
hand and the appalling destruction
Of life. properly and great monu-
ments of civilization which the Euro
pean war involves on the other. 1t
had been the commissions hope that
the example which the English-speak-
ing peoples set in their relations with
each other would be followed by the
other great nations of the earth in
their several international relations
and that the spirit of peaceful and
friendly cooperation which each of
these peoples manifests toward the
people of the United States would also
mark their dealings with one another.
But Notwithstanding the untoward cir
cumstances that have marred the an
niversary the celebration should not
be entirely abandoned. We are quite
in the mood to jubilate over the
blessings of peace.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
n TERRY CHRISTMAS! HUM
'SV bug! Out upon Merry
" i Christmas, What right

=
4VA Christmas, What right
have you to be merry?
What reason have YOU to be merry?
You're poor enough"
Thus Old Scrooge, in Dickens fa-
NOUS Christmas carol, replied to his
nephew when that cheerful young per-
sonage extended to his grabbed uncle
the compliments of the holiday season.
And thus some solemn-faced souls,
with their eyes on blood-soaked Eu-
rope, cry to-day
NO Merry Christmas this year"
they say, and bid us observe the joy
Gus season in sackcloth and ashes.
To such we would reply in the lam
guage of Scrooge's nephew, when he
responded to the old gentlemans
tirade, thus:
Come then, what right have YOU
10 be dismal? What reason have YOU
10 be morose? You're rich enough"
And so we are, rich in every bless
ing that the world knows-peace,
plenty and freedom are ours. If ever
a nation had cause for rejoicing at
-
year of our Lord, nineteen hundred
and fourteen.
Merry Christmas means more than
the mere words express The phrase
has a subtler sense for those who cele-
brate Christmas for what it is; and it
bears the stamp of divine approval,
too, for "the angel OF the Lord said
60,
bring you good tidings of great JOY,
which shall be to all people"
So. despite the gloom that shrouds
the horizon, we rejoice in the coming
of Christmas again, for where on
earth can Christmas be celebrated as
ii should be tomorrow except right
here in America?
Would it not be folly to hearken
to those who tell us to forget our
Christmas customs and pledges be-
cause other nations have forgotten
theirs? Have these forgetful people
anything better to offer us? Are they
not looking 1ongingly toward the
shores of the only nation whose gov
ernment is founded on the principles
vi lINlnS hOWn ny lnt tTIedl Mas
ter of Christmas Himself?
In all truth we have more need of
the spirit of Merry Christmas in our
hearts to-day than ever The great
example of giving that He set should
be before us now as never before. The
hearty good will, the pleasant cheer.
the sweet charity of Christmas in
America this year will hearten the
whole war-racked world. just as our
gifts of food and clothing will put
new life into the hungry and the de-
spondent
Here and nowhere else the fire of
the Christmas spirit burns bright. Let
us all add our mite of fuel to its
flame, until again it shall illuminate
even the darkest corners of those
lands wherein it's light is no longer
seen or where its flashes are but faint
and ftful.
Let us celebrate Christmas as never
before! Let us rejoice that it has
been given to us. not only to bear the
torch aloft, but that we have the

THE NIGHT BEFORE XMAS
by Wing Dingcr

'Tis the night before Christmas,
And all through the place
In haste that's quite feverish,
Daddy will chase.
First down to the cellar.
He'll go at top speed.
To bring up some boards
That for platform he'll need.
And then he'll trot down
once again for the tree.
Doing all by his lonesome
Enough work for three.
The tree being set.
Then he'll hike up the stair,
To bring down big armfuls
OF ornaments there
Then up on ladder
For hours he'll stand.
As tree trimmer, while others
Remark. "Ain't it grand?"
At two i'm the morning,
All others in bed
He'll finish his job
And feel pretty near dead.
But when in the morning
He hears the kids shout
He'll quickly forget that
He's all tired out.
