NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

Any day is a good time to make
good resolutions, but the advent of q
new year is one Of the best times, be-
cause it is a milepost on the road Of
life.
Resolutions which cannot reason
ably be lived up to are better never
made. Failure weakens character,
causes loss of confidence and leads
the mind to a feeling of ''What's the
use?"
Real happiness in life cannot be
bought with gold Many of the hum
blest people are happier and more cons
tented than q neighbor who dWells in
a mansion.
One should try to make each day as
It comes the happiest day Of ones life.
Why waste ones life away living in
anticipation of day that may never
come? Each day is like a mirror. One
side is bright and the reflections seem
even better than they really are. The
other side is rough and dark. Try to
keep the bright side turned your way
and at the end Of the year may each
of us look back with a better feeling
at heart and a clearer conscience, that
we have performed our duties to the
full extent of the opportunities given
us.

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 note to all the warning powers,
has announced its support of Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal for discussion
of peace terms.
The note was sent to the belligerv
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
eral council, guided by it's warm desire
that the hostilities may soon come to
an end, has for a considerable time
been in touch, had the kindness to
appraise the federal council of the
peace note sent to the government OF
the central and entente powers.
I'm this note President Wilson dis
cussed the great desirability of inter
national 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
or 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 ini-
tiative of President Wilson will find
a mighty echo in Switzerland. True
to the obligations arising from OBJ
serving the strictest neutrality, unit
ed by the same friendship with the
states of both warning groups of pow
ers, situation like an island amidst
the seething waves of the terrible
world war, with its ideal and material
interests most sensibly jeopardized
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 a
beneficial cooperation of peoples
This Swiss federal council is there
fore glad to seize the opportunity to
support the efforts of the president Of
the United States. 1t would consider
itself happy if it could act in any. no
matter how modest a way, for the
rapproachment of the peoples now en-
gagged in the struggle and for reach.

AMERICA STAR OF
PEACE -BERNSTORFF

Washington, Dec. 26.-German Am
bassador Bernstorff has given out the
following as a christmas 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
races 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
fillment of their hopes. so from the
words of President Wilson shines the
light of 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 domineering; 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

ONE BRITISH PAPER
Sees GOOD IN Note

London, Dec. 26. - Analysing the
criticisms Of President Wilson's note
to the belligerent nations the Man
chester Guardian. in a remarkable
editorial which endeavors IL 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 pc,
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
belligerents, and says 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."

Distant Thunder.

If we count the seconds that elapse between our seeing flash of light ming and our hearing the thunder we can tell how far off the thunderstorm is. As light travels 186,000 miles a second, we may for all practical pur- poses regard ourselves as seeing the lightning the instant it flashes. But sound travels only 1,0S7 feet second. If, then, we multiply 1,0S7 by the num- Der of seconds that elapse after the flash before we hear the thunder. we get the distance that lies between us and the storm. If we count five sec onds. the flash is mile away. As a rule, we do not hear the thunder ait all if the storm is more than twelve to fifteen miles away from us. But the rule has exceptions.
