grnyely assures u.s. '''the committee announced

but would determine the important questions
submitted to It with sole regard to what in It's
judgment would be best for the integrity and
efficiency Of the new system and the general
interests of the country" Yet while he refers to
expressions OF dissatisfaction with the commit
tees findings as "ill-consldered criticsm," he
Is careful to attach as an appendix TO his report
the lengthy supplementary statement issued at
the time by the committee in defense Of its
untenable and arbitrary rulings.

may be found of the secretary's pretense that the

Thn. Prppo,ed chri,tma, Armi,tioe.

An armistice lnsthe war arena over the
Christmas holidays is proposed from several
sources one suggestion coming from the pope az
Rome and another taking the form OF a resolu-
ton offered by Senator kenyon, appealing TO the
belligerents in the name OF the American con-
gress 70 declare q truce for twenty days so that
the people Of the world may fittngly observe the
Christmas season. Reports from Germany would
indicate that the kaiser is inclined TO look with
favor upon the planI stipulatlng the condition,
however, that all the other powers engaged in
the war accept likewise
The Christmas idea appeals to the sentiment,
and particularly to the religious fervor OF the
Germans, who have always made much Of the
'"wenacht's Feier' and asrecess Of arms TO
observe the Christmas festival would also strike
a popular chord with the English, French, Bel
gian and Russian elements of the allies. The
troops from India from North Africa, from Tur-
key and from the Moslem. parts of the Balkans
and Asia Minor do not have Christmas on their
calendar. nor do the Japanese. and they might
see no more reason for interrupting the combat
now than at some other time when they might
want-t celebrate a religious holiday. Should the
Christmas recess eventuate, II will stamp this
war above all as war between Christian ma
lions"
To Americans and other people not partici-
pating in the war, the importance of the ar
mistice proposal lies In the encouragement II
holds out for another armisuce. even though
not immediate, preparatory to final peace set
tlement. II the fighting can be stopped now for
little while It viii strengthen our hope that It
can by mediation or direct negotiations be
terminated for good at no distant time.
