Two Chrstmases for the American people is the
treat that is being offered by the American Com
mittee for Armenian and Syrian Relief
Having enjoyed the felowships and precious associa
tons OF our Christmas December 25, we may
By means Of offerings made that day have a vital
part in the Christmas Joys celebrations Of Ar

The old style calendar is still used in Asia Minor
which, with other differences in customs, brings their

There may be cakes. candy and cookies in the
stockings of the little children in Syria this yearin
fact. there may be stockings but when a child or
is hungry there is nothing sweeter than plain
bread perhaps unleavened and when woman or child
is shiyering with cold there is gown coveted
fhan plain wooden blanket.
These things committee hopes give 10 AZ many
women and children as possible as lrstmas present
this year. but the number that will be thus favored
will be in direct proportion the thoughtfuness and
the brotherlness OF the and OF America as
they this year gather around Preside and altar
entity to observe the great holiday OF good cheer.
The Christmas ship has sailed, but comparatively
speaking its entire cargo Of wheat flour rice etc, will
tc but a mouthful when distributed among the hum
dreds OF thousands OF hungry people.
The committee is expecting to send another ship as
soon funds for the be secured but in ad
don to these shipments OF food landed at the port OF
Beirut there is urgent need OF help at other larger

this Tahriz and Tihis for instance in point OF

To reach these and other centers money is being

A GOOD MAN GONE.

WHEN former State Senator George Fisher Pierce,
w OF Milford, died from paralysis early this week,
Delaware lost OF its leading citizens His political
commercial and social records stamped him as a man
who loved his State, his county his home town and
the commentator OF his friends and neighbors He
was not seeker after public applause. and yet It
to him by reason OF the manly attitude he assumed
and adhered TO in political and legislative crises.
The political and official preferment which was ac-
corded to Mr. Pierce by those him most init
mately ample attestaton OF their confidence and
esteem
Delaware is the richer because Mr.. Pierce lived II
is the poorer because he has died

Editorial Opinion


From the New York sun.
What President Wilson suggests to
the statesmen OF the belligerent Pow
ers is a task Of definition. He categor-
ically denies that he proposes peace.
He does not offer mediation. He asks
for formal disclosures Of national
aspiration and racial ambitions.
The limitations he imposes on
his present project he makes
clear beyond the possibility OF mis-
conception. It Is not how peace may
be attained but why war is maintain
cd. that engages his immediate inter
est
The Importance Of the explanations
he seeks is obvious. Their bearing
on the duration Of the war and on
the ultimate terms of peace would be
of major consequence. Yet this does
not measure the significance to the
United States Of the scheme Of world
politics which influences the note
published this morning.
BY its terms and explicit declara-
tiOns the President makes plain ms
intention to labor for the creation OF
pOstbellum conditions that IN interna-
tional transactions will obligato this
country In manner it has hitherto
scrupulously avoided. This project
is not new to Mr.. Wilson. He has
frequently declared that in the pres
ervation OF world peace we must
hereafter play a part unlike thai
which has been ours in the past
That declaration is now embodied in
an official document conceived under
the eravest circumstances and given
to the world in the most impressive
form.
Serious as is the Presidents aim
with respect OF the conflict now dew
astating the world. it is to America
less momentous than the change II
our historical attitude toward foreign
affairs that may eventually flow from
its development.

From the New York Post.
The election OF Senator Salisbury
as President pro tenn OF the Senate
has been a matter of considerable
comment. locally, by Republicans. as
well as Democrats. This vote Of con-

prepare for the campaign two years
from now.
Nor let US deceive ourselves that
the Democrats are not making capital
OF this. Right now they are busy per.

CONGRESS QUITS WORK
FOR The Holidays

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Congress
will quit work today and go home for
Christmas.
In anticipation of the adjournment
many solons departed several days
ago. But the big crowd leaves today.
The President was not much in
favor of the idea, nor was Speaker
Clark, because there is 80 much legis-
lation for the thoroughly Democratic
present congress to finish before It
dies March and is replaced by one
not quite so Democratic.
However. Pres dent Wilson did not
"disapprove" Of this adjournment, ac-
cording to Democratic Leader Kitchin.
To make up the time thus lost both
Houses will convene between 10 and
IL o'clock for the remainder Of the
session. Kitchin said all appropriation
bills would be passed and there will be
no special sessions.
