cHR1srAfAs THIS YEAR

Because Of the fact that Christmas
came upon Sunday this year there will
be two day celebration of this great
festival which means so much to the
world, which hasn't recovered from the
fnghtful ravages Of the war but which
is nevertheless making long strides in
that direction and at the same time lay
ing the foundation for having world af-
fairs come more nearly to complying
with that song of the angels at the first
Christmas-"Peace on earth. good will
toward men"
Through the birth of a single baby
great powers for good came into the
world. A decade ago it was believed
that such world conflagration as it
has gone through was impossible New
ertheless we were misled and the leading
nations Of the world went through an
experience which none cares to repeat.
No sooner was it ended however than
there was at once set in motion a move
nent TO guard against anything of the
kind In the future. There was an inspira-
non for establishing an international So
ciety for the prevention of international
var widespread desire expressed for the
reduction Of ornaments and through
such action the promotion of peace, jus
tee and liberty throughout the world.
With the conference for the limita-
ton Of ornaments now in session in this
country, and with every indication that
Il will result in accomplishments ever
beyond our fondest hopes Christina,
means much to the world this year ou
OF the ordinary. The united purpose o
the people bids fair to accomplish tn,
long desired results. There certainly
can be no more enduring expression o
good will among nations than the firm
resolution to respect the rights of other
and to strive for the extension of justic
and fairness rather than strife and trou
bic.
As we listen to the message ot peac
and good will as it has come dow
through the centuries we have reason t
rejoice that there is tangible evidence o
Il being given a new and worldwide ap
plication.

A NArloNAL pIsGRAcE.

Just because it was possible to delay
action upon the anti-lypching bill in the
lower house of = congress until after
Christmas it doesn't mean that the OPP
posing forces are sufficiently strong to
might be expected the chief opposition
to the bill comes from the southern
states. There lynching has been in
dulSed in for so long that it has become
established as a custom and it is next
to impossible to get any action in some
of the state courts to check it or to pun
ish the participants. Naturally it is &c
be expected that opposition will be man
ifested from that section. Such repre-.
sents the sentiment of many of the PEG
pie there but it is not believed that this
attitude of state where lynching is
winked at will be sufficient to win ovel
the majority of congress.
Lynching has long been a national dis
grace. Efforts on the part Of states tt
control it are invariably successful ex
cept in the case of a few. There it flour

SUBMARINE ELIMINATION

Direct and powerful was abe attack
which was made upon the submarine by
Lord Lee in behalf Of Great Britain's de-
sire for the elimination of that form Of
naval equipment. He pointed out that it
was possible to curb it through the use
Of many vessels Of another type and that
It was chiefly menace to merchantmen.
His plea was for the purpose Of direct
ing attention to the menace which the
underwater boats are bound to be to the
British isles through the cutting of Of
the food supply. They are dependent
upon the outside sources for the needs Of
the country at all times and anything
that endangers the means Of getting
such supplies must needs give worry TO
any nation that is placed in such po-
sition.
When Lord Lee made the point that tbs
submarine should be abolished in order
to prevent any repetition of the killing
of non conbatants as was the case in the
late war where the underwater boats in
sible for the loss Of 10000 lives, it was
an appeal that could not fail to impress
each and every one of the nations. He

warfare in which there had been abuse
The same thing might be said of the air
plane and even a better case made on
against the use of poison gas.
From the time that it was made know

elimination of the submarine it has beer
evident that 1t did not strongly appea

mean thai there is a disposition to up
hold the use made of them by the Ger
mans but there Is a feeling that they ar
most valuable means of defense for tn
small nation. a means that does not in
volve a tremendous outlay. Thus Will
Lord Lee has unquestionably made
strong argument in behalf of discardin

bounds of justice to all that there shout

PERHAPS no better type of the bravados
that infested England in the 18th CEN
fury could be brought to notice than the
murderers of Thomas Ball These men,
Burnworth, Blewitt, Dickinson. Berry,
Legee and Higgs- were committed to tbs
stockhouse at Kingston for this crime on
March 80, 1925. On the 1st of April they
were arraigned at the bar, five of them
pleading mot guilty. but Burnworth re-
fused to plead. He gave as his reason
that when he was arrested his hat, wig
and watch had been taken away, and he
would not plead until they were return
ed.
However, when they were returned he
still continued to act stubbornly. He
seemed to have no realization of the i'm
portance of the crime for which he was
arraigned. They were all indicted for
the murder of Thomas Ball, Blewitt and
Burnworth with having discharged the
pistols, and the others with having aided
and abetted the crime.
