AN ANTITHESIS OF PEACE

Today is the second Christmas since the cessation of actual hostiIities in the great world war; The second time since CLrismastidc of 1913 that the larger part of the world has not been drenchcd m blood and the Christ teaching of peace and good will replaced by the stern faced viSagc of the grim war god.
 Twelve months ago the warning na- tions had just entered the twilight zone of transition between war and peace. So high were its hopes for the future that the millions of people were bowed down by the grief of tremcnduous sacrifices that peace and good will seemed already present One year ago statesmen of the world were mak- ing preparations for opening the Versailles conference out of which 1t was hoped that d program for permanent peace would be de- reIOpcd, In the intervening time that has passed events have taken place that were filled with meaning and importance to all peoples The statesmen gathered in France did evolve a plan, largely at the insistencc of the American President, by which it was hoped that future wars might be averted In one country alone has that proposal been attacked and that our own. That the world is disappointed in its hopes for future peace in this time of the season of peace, must be charged to opposition that developed in the United States senate Even while the league of nations idea was being worked into practical shape, those opponents were attacking it. Long before they Lod ever seen a copy of its provisions

The daily Alaska citizen., 1919-12-25

before its contents were known, those men
 most responsible for the present mfortun-
 ate situation had formed a definite policy
 of dcnunciation and opposition from which
 they have not departed Undctcrrcd by the
 fact that the thing which they were attack
 mg the future peace of the world, iS great
 CT than the political welfare of any man or group of men, these men have deliberately sought by campaign of misrepresentation and calculated half truths to bring about the notification of the league of nations because some of them saw in such defeat a chance to injurc the leader of the opposi- ton party.
 The result of that vicious campaign is turnout the world today This Christmas Day finds hope dulled. Antici- patton, of millions of people of the realiza- ton of hopes for freedom, happiness and an era of peace and good will which would be free from the threat of war have droop- ed to weary doubt. Cynicism has replaced ideaIism, Egotism supplanted cooperation. How has it come about! The war ended. President Wilson went to France, fought the materiaIiStic traditions of continental emerged from that struggle, losing much and winning great deal, and came home Then the dominant party in the American senate began a campaign of of disilIusionment of dis trust, of jealousy A veteran reading the speeches of the opposition might wonder why he had fought or by what right the government had drafted him. The dead, if they could have heard them, might queS- tion bitterly why they had died. A resolu- tion, introduced on the day prior to ad- joummcnt, would have peace declared and provides that the United States shall re tain all the material gains. Materialism| gone mad in the United States senate| threatens to rob the American people of thc| real victory, the only victory worth while that over national and personal selfishneSs. The league of nations in substance pro- vides for the protection of the weak against the injustice of the strong. It is an at tempt to apply the traditions and ideals of the American people to the whole world. A noble effort to establish the Savior $ .' Peace and Good WiIl' on earth. And had the covenant of the league of nations been handed down from heaven, given to man by the Saviour Himself, one of the senators who has been Ioudest in his opposition, ac- cording to his own words, would con temptuously reject 1t.

THE BATTLE OF THE GIANTS.

The game begins with both sides
 keen, The men are feeling fine, Skip Heilig has the first put shot His lead is little lame Then Suter's lead takes an inturn pot And lays the stone the same Up comes Reeds second man With a tee high draw to broom, And puts the stone right in it place; A bully shot, his team all croon. Eddie's second comes down the ice, With pretty inturn draw, But he hogs his stone and is left
 alone While his men exclaim, Oh-shaw. Now Heilig calls to his third, a guard, We'll show the mutt how to curl, But the stone he says picks up
 straw, And its a joke to see it twrl And so the game progresses, While the pretty girls all scream, As the score in the leventh stands
 nine to nine, In favor of both Skips' team Now comes the battle royal. Suter says he'll not go 10 defeat But Heilig says, old boy I guess Right now SCu are my meat Suter's Men begin to see That if the game they win, It must be by careful play, And their faith in their skip they pin Their play is keen. they take the
 broom, They have two stones in home, Poor Heilig can't see how to pass the
 guard. And Eddie is laughing some Gottam he says I'll split 'em up, And with a mighty back hack weight When To, as the stone leaves his hand, He seems to see his fate He yells I gave the wrong turn, And he sees things thru a fog, And his men they weep, as they see
 defeat, With his stone just over the hog. The galleries now are some what put, With Suter's two stones fl, To see what will the outcome be, With Heilig's last stone to win. And as down the ice he gangs ava" That pretty draw to make, He says, to Ed, now old sport I'll make your inwards quake The draw was perfect, His men all shout, As they see the shot he makes, pass

WILSON SEES
FIRST PLAY
IN EUROPE
Takes Small Party With
Him to See castor
and Pollux."

Paris, Friday, Jan. 24.-President
Wilson went to the opera tonight to
see a performance of Castor and Pol
lux. 1t was the first time he had
gone to a regular performance since
he left Washington. The president
took with him a very small party. in
Guiding Henry White. General Bliss
and Rear Admiral Grayson.
The performance was put on in
gala fashion and the audience appar-
emily was a holiday one. Most of
those present obviously came for two
things-to see the president Of the
United States and to hear the opera.
Although much Of the vast auditor
.ium was taken up by persons of off,
rcial rank, there was room for the
public which waged a merry war all
day long with ticket SPECTATORS to
get seats
When the president entered he re-
ceived a tremendous demonstration.
The Star Spangled Banner was sung
and then the Marseillaise after which
the performance began.
Once between the acts the presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson went behind
the scenes and shook hands with the
principals of the chorus and ballet.

"SIR" IN BRITISH
BOOK, "WHO'S WHO"

New York, Jan. 25.-The British

SUI which has just been received
here, lists the commander-in-chief of
the American Expeditionary Forces
in France as General Sir John
Joseph Pershing, G. c. B."
On July II, 1918. King George
awarded the Grand Cross of the Or
der Of the Bath to General Pershing
and in August, King George, during a
visit to France. personally gave the
decoration to him. The award of
the Grand Cross of the Order Of the
Bath to a British subject automatical-
ly makes a knight of the recipient
and gives him the right to prefix
Sir to his name.
The decoration given General
Pershing, however, was an honorary
one and it was said at the time that
the American commander would not
receive the title of Sir as he was
not a British subject.

DECLARES o
EMPLOYEES ARE
P%REJUDICIAL..
TO FAIR TRIAL

Detroit. Mich. JAM 25.-In asking
for a change of venue from Wayne
county today, counsel for the Chicago
Daily Tribune, sued by Henry Ford
on a charge of libel, alleged among
other things that the large number
OF Mr.. Ford's| employees in Detroit and
the electioneering one in his behalf
during the recent senatorial cam
paign were prejudicial to a fair trial
of the case.
Elliott G.. Stevenson. of counsel for
the Tribune, represented to the court
that it is impossible properly to prove
his contention by affidavit and asked
nearing in open court. = w
The petition for a change of venue
asserts that the plaintiff. Ford, TAX
ing advantage of delays in bringing
the suit to trial, spread broadcast
a pamphlet designed to prejudice the
public and jurors who might be called
to try the case: that the plaintiff also
caused publication in newspapers of
misleading and untrue articles for the
in a false light before the public as a
patriot.
Other reasons advanced in the petit
ton were that Mr.. Ford employs, di-
rectly or indirectly. from 5 $4,000 to
$4,000 persons in Wayne, county: that
during his senatorial campaign he
circulated misleading and untrue ar
ticles on his attitude toward the war
and on preparedness for war, and
that by the expenditure Of large sums
Of money as a candidate he influenced
many persons who might therefore be
expected to aid him in every way, to
the prejudice Of the defendant.
In conclusion the defendant alleges
that the list of jurors was improperly
selected. :
The Tribune's alleged attacks on
the Detroit manufacturer were based
on his alleged pacifism. The Tribune
was among the leading newspapers
advocating preparedness for war al
the time the. Ford peaceship sailed.
