not to be held at the instance of the
Germans and will not work for sep

Dutch Socialist leader and chairman
of the executive committee, in an in

Press.
He spoke first of the decision of the
French Socialists not to send dele
gates to Stockholm, saying that in
spite of this action French Socialists
would be represented, if merely by
minority delegates. He was reminded
of the assertion made in France that
the only thing the conference could
accomplish would be to further a pro-
ject for a separate peace.
THAT is the last thing in the world

Final Word Regarding
That Christmas Dinner

UNCLE SAM will not place OBJ
w stacles in the way of the old
fashioned Christmas dinner, the kind
that gladdencd our hearts when there
were no wars or rumors of wars to
be financed by the American people.
The United States food administra-
ton is heartily in favor of the con-
ventional Christmas spread, consist
ing of turkey, the piece de resistance,
of course; cranberries, goose and
vegetables. By eating meal of this
kind, wheat, red meats, fats and 9TH
: er war foods may be conserved, with
out any danger of rising from the Ia
BILE with an aching void in ones alb
doninal regions. Furthermore, Christ
mas comes on Tuesday, meatless
day. War plum pudding is also recon-
mended for patriotic dinners. For full
details as to its ingredients and man.
ner of preparation, see the War Econ
omy cookbook.
1t will not be possible to have all
the good things in their former album
dance, but the outlook for delecta-
BILE and satisfying Christmas dinner
is conceded to be excellent. There is,
to be sure, the price to consider. That
is matter each individual must set
tie according to his conscience and his
purse. If he has kept up the pay
ments on his liberty bonds, contribu-
ted generously to the Red Cross and

left to buy a turkey, he is entitled to
the feast.
This is the brighter side. There is

Caesar or Christ? This is the press
ing question which confronts us at this
Christmastide. If the Kaiser wins It
means that twentieth century Caesar
will dominate the world and that Christ
will be put in the background.
Writing not as preacher, but as one
who studies world politics, there are just
two dominant ideas battling for suprem-
acy. The Kaiser says that might is
right, while the Christ said right IS

ings" Of Jesus is, BLESSED are the

If he had said, Blessed are the sub

his prophecy was being fulfilled in this
generation. If he had promised dominion
to the warrior, he would have been
hailed in Germany as the true Savior OF
the world, and the Kaiser's claim to rule
by divine right would not have appeared
so infamous.
A keen student has said that If Jesus
had changed the latter part OF the beatl-
tude, and had promised the meek GER
tain inner and mystical rewards, we
might have assented more readily
am sure this is so, if he had even toned
it down by saying, BLESSED are the
meek, for they shall have peace" we
would have felt that it was becoming to
be true; at least, until the Huns broke
loose and overran the Belgians, their
weaker neighbors. We have got to make
the words of Christ come true or this
world will revert to Kaiserism.
