PEACE.

Although the date: of publication
Of the Herald comes some days after
the signing Of the Peace treaty, we
feel that we cannot let such mon
entous issue pass unoticed in our
weekly paper. The awful cloud Of
war that had enveloped the universe
for the past four years with It's un-
speakable atrocities has been broken
and peace is shining over the whole
wide world today. Pray God that it
may be a lasting peace, that as we
know that the world is composed Of
many nations, and it is the people
that make the nation and the individ-
ual that makes society, so we must
improve the individual if we hope to
have peace within our nation and
with the world. May we then have
peace within ourselves that we may
be able to truly join in the song as
sang by the angels so many thousand
years ago, "* And on earth
peace, good will towards men," Il
Ring out old shapes of foul disease
Ring out the narrowing lust of
gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of
old,
Ring in the thousand years Of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free.
The larger heart, the kindher hand;
Ring out the darkness Of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Huge quantities of whisky were
still flowing into Michigan to-
day despite efforts OF federal Of

liquor from going across the

So far Michigan state and

no means of helping the federal

Approximately 200 whisky
runners were reported arrested

the night. There were no ar
