The Associated Press Learns
That Negotiations Have
Not Been Broken Off, AS
Has Been Reported.
ARCHBISHOP CLUNE HAS

Dublin, Dec. 22.-There is
no truth in the rumor that
negotiations for peace in Ire
land have been broken off,
The Associated Press is au-
thoritatively in f o r m e d..
There has been only a hitch
in the peace discussions and
the belief is expressed that
the negotiations soon will be
resumed with good prospects
Of success.
1t is reported that Arch
bishop Clune has returned
to London for further con-
sultations with the premier.
The archbishop, on his pre-
vious trip to London, is said
to have obtained from the
premier an outline of the
terms on which the govern
ment is ready to arrange a
truce with the republican
army and some idea of the
conditions the government is
prepared to grant the Sim
Fein for a settlement of the
question of independence.

YOU CAN'T BE COLD and HAPPY:
DON'T FORGET The POOR TODAY

One of the Journal representa-
tives made trip yesterday into a
few Of the homes of Albuquerque
poor. The experience was pitiful
There were families almost desti-
tute. The children We're thinly
clad, illy-fed. In some houses there
was no fuel and the little boys and
girls were trembling from the cold
that may bring the city White
Christmas.
These poor unfortunate children
expect nothing Christmas. You can
give them surprise and make
them happy by giving dollar or
two to the Empty Stocking Fund
1t will help buy them a toy, a bag
of nuts and candy. And better than
that, it will be the means of pro-
viding warm clothing for as many
as can be supplied from the Empty
Stocking Fund that generous AL
buquerqueans have built up with
their donations in the past week.
Names of more than hundred
and fifty children have been given
to the Journal and Salvation Army
and these boys and girls will be
invited to the Empty Stocking
Fund Christmas tree at Jefferson
hall at Z o'clock Friday night.
Only few responses were made
yesterday to the appeal of the
Journal for toys for the tree. Sure
ly many children in Albuquerque
have a picture book, a train, sets
Of blocks and other playthings that
they are willing to give to some
poor child. And the more toys that
are brought in by children, the
more money there will be in the
fund to buy warm mittens and
shoes and stockings for cold little
hands and feet.
