for q prolongation of this appalling
war can be justly shifted to them.
There is no definite hope OF early
peace in what Germany has proposed,
no more than there is in reading the
temper Of the allies by the spirit OF
their reception Of the proposed peace
conference. The only thing that Will
give peace to Europe will be conces-
sions from both sides, and which neith-
or side is at present disposed to
make. The intimation that the restor-
alton Of the status quo before the war
would be the chief demand Of Germany
Is Of inconceivable acceptability to the
entente allies. Nor is Germany likely
to agree to any Of the exacuons that
are pretty clearly defined in the
minds Of her antagonists.
There can be no permanent peace in
Europe unless the causes which pro-
Voked the awful cataclysm have been
removed. A peace gained on any 9TH
er basis would in effect be but an arm
istice which might lead to still great
er conflagration, and it would be war
that the rest Of the civilized world
would not, could not stand for. And so
the present prospect seems to be a
fight to a finish-of one or the other
of the belligerents.

Villas PRESUMPTION

It seems that the reported offer OF
peace terms by Villa, and which was
considered too ridiculous by the ad-
ministration to be given a serious
thought, much less any official consid-
Grafton. turns out to be reality, pre-
sumptuous though it-appears. But why
should the administration affect the
aloof spirit with regard to any other
treatment of villa except that to be
dealt out to the common outlaw? Who
was 1t that encouraged him, not only
by letting him obtain arms and ammu-
milton, but at one time seriously en-
tertained the idea Of recognizing him
as responsible person to be treated
with through diplomatic channels in
preference to General CarranZa? That
was President Wilson's inclination at
a critical period in our relations with
Mexico, openly intimated to members
Of Senate committee with whom he
was In consultation.
II there is anything preposterous in
Pancho Villas present presumption 1t
Is nothing more than the logical out
come of the equally preposterous and
contradictory policy that has been pur-
sued by President Wilson in keeping
Us out Of war" The Villa paradox
has nothing on the Wilson vagaries-
OF course it is ridiculous to think OF
treating villa in any other light than
q marauding bandit, after the affair at
Columbus, New Mexico, but at the
same time it is humiliating to reflect
that this great nation was put In
position to create the presumption that
has been exercised by this peon swash-
buckler, whose alleged patriotism rises
no higher than loot, pillage and out
rage.

teresting job. The easy work is In
peril OF being commonplace. The
usual work and service, like common
place people, are liable to be dull, un-
inspiring. stupid, supplying. 1t rep
resents the prairie level, the ordinary
note in life's common song. the mono
tone in life's experiences. The un-
usual, the hard, the impossible, quick
ems the intellect, deepens the feelings,
gives firm grip to the will.
The hard job also is the one which
the absolutely impossible is not to be
attempted. One is not TO seek to raise
peaces in Iceland. Such attempts
spell wasefulness. The reason is ever
to be used. The hard Job is made
hard because the conditions are diff.
cult The teacher is to educate those
who do not want to be educated. The
doctor Is to restore those who may
not be conscious of their need Of
restoration, So far gone are they. But
such teaching, such restoration has
the highest value. The failure to
teach, the failure to restore, Is abso-
lutte loss. The doing Of the hard job
is a positive addition to humanity's
forces and resources.
For doing such work, for wisely
choosing the hardest job. 1t is nee
essary that one shall have a proper
confidence in ones self. That conf
dence is to be as free from presump-
ton and cockineSs on the one side as
it is from undue self-depreciation and
humiliation on the other. 1t Is to be
n faith in ones self. 1t is humble,
without being humiliating, strong
without bumptlousness. Arm without
stubbo1ness, and faciie without being
tickle. If such a faith, too. can have
a SAVIOR Of wit, dash OF humor, its
value will not be at all lessened.

OF the scheme, and he starts of well
by declaring that none but the elect

iscent OF a prevailing combination
compared with the reincarnated ego
tism Of these cosmic comicalites. And
what a pity it Is when we look back
and ponder the awful fate that over
took Sodom and Gomorrah. II Mat

A friend, a graduate OF college for
girls. has recently taken place as
teacher in a mountain missionary
school. The school is remote from
the influence and the environment OF
such city as the one in which is her
home. The work is one OF RESPONSE
bility. constant and eXhausting. For
it she receives practically no pay
more than her board and room. In
fact, she is rather a contributor TO It's
budget. Il cannot see Why Julia takes
that place when she might be a
teacher in school, on the Hudson,
said her mother the other day.
A recent number of Punch has a
cartoon picturing Mr.. Punch himself
and trawler skipper, who is about to
set sail on dangerous quest in the
North Sea. Risky work, isn't IT,
says Mr.. Punch. The trawler skipper
replies: That's why there's a hun
dred thousand of us doing it,"
The answer of the skipper contains
the essence Of the mothers question.
1t is the simple truth of preferring the
hard job, OF choosing the risky work,
Of willing the impossible.
Mr.. Booker T. Washington said to
me not long before his death: 1T is a
might good thing for a man to have
an awfully hard job!"
The hard job has certain advan-
tages. 1t is the job which summons
our greatest power. 1t calls out i'm
mediate energy. 1t demands steady
ing force. 1t also creates force, as
well as summons it. It not only dis
covers to US resources which we never
discovered ourselves, but it also
makes and develops and disciplines
these resources. 1t overcomes intel
lectual and physical apathy. It helps
US to find our second wind. 1t I'M

THE PEACE OF EUROPE

When Germany first announced her
offers Of peace it was proclaimed by
some that it was great stroke Of d.
plomacy, because it put the onus OF
the continuation Of the frightful con-
flict on the entente allies II they re-
fused to consider Germany's proposals.
We cannot see the logic Of such con;
clusion, because, SO far, Germany has
made no representation Of the cond1-
tons under which she would accept
peace. AS the situation stands today
Germany has merely suggested con-
ference at which probable terms and
conditions would be discussed. The
allies have not refused to confer, and
rntil they do refuse no responsibility

UNJUST DISCRIMINATION

The Postoffice Department under
it's present head Is run entirely on the
principle OF party politics, This rea-
ture Of its administration was pro-
nouncedly prominent in the late cam
pafgn. It is has been guilty of some
very picayunish acts. but none SO
small as that Of refusing to accept the
services OF woman rural carrier in
Minnesota who. had qualified for the
position. This was a case where the
widow of a rural. carrier passed the
required examination for appointment
to the vacancy caused by the death or
her husband, but was ruled out by the
Postoffice Department on the ground
that the services Of woman could not
be accepted. Women serve as post
masters. Why not as rural mail car
riers?

THE CHRISTMAS SPREE

It would be a great thing for all OF
us to become thoroughly drunk at this
season Of the year.-Iterally "soused
on imbibing to up limited indulgence
In tho Christmas Spirit. 1t is the one
xrei8 debauch that is not attended
with, the morning after headache. IL
is tnebriation without the subsequent
msntal distress of alcoholic excuses.
Il - intodcatton without the physical
proetratton that accompanies the jug
jax. It Il the -boozeless" dissipation
that brings JOY to those who give ana
happiness to those who receive. 1t IS
an exhileration you can experience
without money as we'll as with 1t. It IS
nothing more than giving free rein 70
the God implanted impulse In every
human being to do something to make
other people happy. Once the true
Christmas Spirit grips the m1ser 1t
makes him liberal, as 1t did Olo
Scrooge.'' It softens the heart Of the
hard and the grasping. 1t brings gen.
tleness to the gruff and oEeroearng.
It lights up dull eyes and sweetens
sour dispositions. It uphtts the most
respondent soul, inspires hope. in the
hopeless, comforts the sick. 1t brings
solace to old age, and imparts new
ughtness to youthful steps. 1t e1alts'
It ennobles and transfigures all VINO
partake freely OF its human1zing
draughts.
There are so many ways Of exempt
tyins the Christmas Spirit that it is
open to the indulgence Of all. 1t Is
one Of the things money cannot ouy.
It does not 90 with the costliest pres
emit but comes from the humolest
heart. 1t can dwell in the home OF lux
ury as well as radiate in the most
modest lodging place. 1t IS the PRIV
iiege Of the lowest as we'll as the high
est. It Is above rank, royalty or any
earthly distinctions-for it was born
In q stable. It graces humility as wen
asspower. It blesses the rich as well
as the poor, makes this poor old world
got round with gladness and gives "a
diant vision to sightless souls. Drink
deep Of It, and never sober up, for
it's a Gag" you can carry all the year
round without waiting for the periodl-
