u AMERICA STAR OF
PEACE" -bERNSTORFF

Washington, Dec. Fisherman AM
bassador Bernstorff has given out the
following as a "Cllristmas interview"
on the Wilson peace movement:
The eyes of the world are turned
in hope on America this third war
Christmas. She stands alone, among
the great powers, outside the circle of
combatants. She unites in the labors
of peace within her borders all the
which are fighting one another
across the water.
las once the star Of Bethlehem
guided the kings from the East
through the night watches to the full
tillment of their hopes, 50 from the
words Of President Wilson shines the
light Of a new message of peace on
earth into the gloom of %purposeless
slaughter in Europe.
Germany stands ready to follow
this light. Secure in her strength,
but not d~omineering; conscious that
she drew the sword not from lust of
conquest, but only in defense of her
national existence, she demands not
foreign territory, but only assurance
against future aggression or against
alliances which threaten the worlds
peace"

ONE BRITISH PAPER
SEES GOOD IN Note

London. Dec. 26. -Analyzing the
criticisms of President Wilson's tote
to the b%elligerent nations the Man
chester Guardian, in a remarkable
editorial which %endeavors to interpret
the presidents viewpoint, sounds a
word of caution against hasty and i'll
considered action in making a reply.
The Guardian believes that the note,
if coolly considered and wisely an.
swered, can only help the allies
cause and throw into stronger relief
the moral weakness Of the German po-
sition.
The newspaper emphasizes a point
which, it says. seems to have been
forgotten in this country, that the
identical note was addressed to all
b~elligerents. and says a careful read
ing of the passage in which President
Wilson suggests that both sides are
fighting for the same end reveals that
the president said that this is what
the belligerents tell their own coun.
trymen."

CHRISTMAS FINDS LULL
ON WESTERN FRO.>7

London, Dec. 26.-The third Christ
mas of the European war passed
without much fighting on the
British and French fronts, where
virtually only the artillery was
active and the men were Toasted and
entertained as far as was compatible
with the sterner business of war.
Roumania's first Christmas as a
participant in the wal witnessed
neavy fighting on the Roumanian
front. Ground was yielded by the
R~oumanianS at some points under the
pressure Of the Germans and north Of
the Buzeu-l,inmnik road a height was
lost by the Russians.
In the northwest corner of Dobrud-
ia province the army of Field Marshal
Won Mackenson has begun to attack
the ~bridgohead of Matchin.
British mounted troops, with the
cooperation OF aircraft, carried a
strong position at Maghdaba, twenty
miles distant from Ell Arish, in Meso-
potamia.
Macedonia. except for an artillery
struggle, is void Of momentous &C
tivity. The same is true generally of
the Austro-ltalian theater, except for
the Julian front, where even such
operations have been prevented by
mist.

Federal Council Endorses Pres
ident Wilson's Action.
ANXIOUS TO GIVE ASSISTANCE
Would Be Glad to Act in Any WAY
in the Effort to End Present
Conflict in Europe.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Switzerland,
in a note to all the warning powers,
has announced its support Of Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal for a discussion
of peace terms.
The note was sent to the belliger-
ents by the Swiss federal council, and
DR.. Paul Ritter, minister OF SWitzer-
land here, presented a copy Of it at
the White House. The translated
text follows:
THE president Of the United States
OF America, with whom the Swiss fed
er&l council, guided by its warm desire
that the hostilities may soon come to
an end. has for a considerable time
been i'll touch, had the kindness to
a%ppraise the federal council of the
peace note sent to the government Of
the central and entente powers.
In this note President Wilson dis
cussed the great desirability OF inter
natioral agreements for the purpose
Of avoiding more effectively and per
manently the occurrence OF catastro-
Plies such as the one under which the
peoples are suffering today. In this
connection he lays particular stress
on the necessity for bringing about the
end of the present war.
Wilson's Course Approved.
''Without making peace proposals
himself, or offering mediation, he con-
fines himself to sounding as to wheth-
er mankind may hope to have APP
preached the haven of peace.
The most meritorious personal mi.
tiative of President Wilson will find
a mighty echo in Switzerland. True
TO the obligations arising from OBJ
ed by the same friendship with the
states of both warning groups of pow.
erS, situation like an island amidst
the SETTLING waves Of the terrible
world war, with its ideal and material
interests most sensibly .ieopardizeG
and violated, our country is filled with
a deep longing for peace, and ready
to assist by its small means to stop
the endless sufferings caused by the
war and brought before it's eyes by
daily contact with the interned. the
severely wounded and those expelled
and to establish foundations for d
beneficial cooperation of peoples.
This Swiss federal council is there
fore glad to seize the opportunity tc
support the efforts Of the president Of
the United States. 1t would consider
itself happy if it could act in any, nc
matter how modest a way, for the
rapproachment of the peoples now en-
gagged in the struggle and for reach
ing a lasting peace"

PERILS OF CHILDHOOD

a~HILD Betterment," a
"V periodical published by
the Child Betterment
Bureau, with headquarters at
Chicago, is urging a law to
prohibit the sale of poisonous
fly killers, which annually
cause the death of large num-
bers of children. Arsenic is
the principal ingredient Of poi
sonous fly killing devices.
These devices too often are
placed where little children
can reach them. In 1914 no
less than As deaths of children
were traced to this source. As
a result of laws passed to stop
the sale of these devices, the
death rate in 1915 fell to 26.
Here is an instance where
legislation is needed, because
of the ignorance and careless
ness of parents and others.
There are plenty of ways to
destroy flies without the use of
poisons of the kind which have
been proved so fatal to chill
dren. Missouri should legis-
late against the fly-poison de-
vices.
But who will guard the lit
tie child against the tub of
boiling water placed on the
floor by thoughtless person?
And against the open fire
place, the matches left where
baby hands can get them, the
bottle of blueing, the unguard-
ed stair, the bonfire and other
perils? No laws can take the
place of human care and
thoughtfulness. = St. Louis
