FRICTION BETWEEN
PORTUGAL AND HOLLAND
IS REMOVED

The Hague, Netherlands, Dec 49,
Negotiation and arbitration, as the
preferable alternative to colonial
war, have finally removed what was
for many long years source of fric-
ton between Holland and Portugal.
These two small countries, so famous
three or four centuries ago as colon
i1ing pioneers and who still hold i'm
portant colonial possessions, conclud-
ed boundary treaty as long ago as
the year 1904 for the settlement of
long-standing frontier disputes in the
island Of Timor, but the terms Of the
treaty have only just been put into
execution by the transfer to Portu-
guese hands of the district of Mauca-
tar and, on the other hand, the ces-
sion Of the Noimuti, Tahakay and
Tamiru Alfalfa districts to the Neither
lands East Indian government.
Timor, which is situated due south
of the Philippine Islands, in the Malay
is owned, half by the
Portuguese and half by the Dutch, and
the existence of such features as the
Portuguese enclave of Moimuti, and of
the Dutch semi-enclave of Mamatar,
has at times led to armed collisions
between the respective local authori-
ties. These anomalies are now done
away with by the definite mutual
transfer Geographically reported by
the governor general of the Dutch
colony. The lony delay in the carry
ing out of the treaty was largely due
to fresh differences that arose in the
work of frontier delimitation, which
it was in due course agreed to sub.
NIT to arbitration. The Permanent
Court of Arbitration nominated M.
Lardy, the Swiss minister in Paris, as
and his decision fell in fav-
or of the Netherlands.

PEACE!

Germany's proposal for peace
comes as surprise to the world, al
most as much as it was startled by
her declaration Of war.
AS she was heartily condemned
for precipitating nearly all Europe
into war, she is now to be as heart
lily commended for her proposal for
peace
We hope that the warning nations
will give listening ear and a quick
response to Germany's brave effort
to bring about peace.
The dove bearing this olive branch
which may mean SO much for the
future of Europe, should not be re-
fused a resting place and a respect
full hearing.
This symbolic bird has seen
enough of war to have caused her
feathers to droop and his wings to
grow weary in her search for condi-
tions just such as have called forth
this proposal from the central pow
ers.
We all know there has been moth
ing gained by the war up Il this
date by any of the nations engaged
in it, and that there is nothing to
be gained by it from its further
prosecution.
While nothing has beln gained by
| it, no pen can enumerate all that has
been lost by it.
Lives, unparalleled in number
have been snuffed out; treasure. un-
told in value, has been lost.
Cities have been destroyed; homes
have been ruined; commerce has
been stopped and hatreds have beer
engendered that centuries may moi
heal.

ANIMALS GIVEN UP TO
AID WAR FUNDS

London, Dec. 12.-In these days
when nearly everybody is giving up
something to the cause of the war, pet
animals have played prominent part
as a form of war charity. People have
given their dogs and cats to charitable
institutions to be auctioned off to
raise money for wounded soldiers. So
many unsaleable pets have been Of
fered as to make them burden to
the animal protection societies.
At a recent sale many Of the cats
and dogs were SO old, decrepit and
dirty that no bids could be obtained
for them, and they we're handed over
to the societies to be put to death by
gas.
