py, if not zi "nierr_v” Christmas. "|lie events of the past four and a half years. the clouds that over- hung the last four Chrstnias Days and the glorious halo of peace that ushers ‘in this day' arc too pro- found, too stupendous, too full of' unutterable thoughts for iiierri- incnt and. for many, too full of sadness for happiness except in the sense that the sacrifices made were not in vain.

Ihe year just closing has been

tory -of the world. We saw civili-

zation in ocath grips with 'savag-

ery. saw the fabric reared by two thousand years of Cliristianity trembling in the storm of war; and we saw civilizaton win ont, saw the storin clear away. saw the world once more redeemed by thc blood of sacrficc.

Having seen this' and these this

day will mean more to us than any Christmas Day we have yet seen: thc principles for which millions have died will hold a deeper mean- ing and become more firmly inter- woven into our lives than cvcr be-

the most eventful one in the his-’

that tiic ideals ot Lliristiaiiity are not only worth living for but north dying for .ind that greater love hah no man th ii this that .i man lay down In lite loi his friend Over fifty thousand Laiiadiaiis, nearly h\c liiindred oi oui own sons in tins piovintc have laid do\\n then Ines that tht. ideals of (.lnsti.iinty which had survived

[two tlioiisaiidycars of ,sowing and _growing might not perish from the earth. These ideals remain, puri- fied and enolbled and strengthened by sacrifice. much of the drosi burned out. the faith of the world renewed that righteousness shall not -perish from thc earth. VVC iavc passed through years of noble deeds, of heroism and of sacrifice; have seen the best that men ant. women could do and it is ours tc profit by it. to prolit intellectually, morally, spiritually.

Lct this day be a hallowed one,

marking the bcgiiiiiingof the neu Christan era, the striving for high- er ideals, for a more sincere and practical Christiaiity for less sel- fishness and more thought for oth- ers.

\Vhcii a shipper asks for a cur tol

ship a consignment of potatoes to some outside market and is told he must wait a day or two, as soine- times happens. he is inclined to ask petiilantly “What is the rail- road doing?” The question is a simple one but the answer to fit is an astounding onc_

_There was some inovemciit of

potatoes during the first half of October. The real business of ship- ping began on October 15. From that date to 30th November. 1003 Island cars of potatoes were mov- ed by the Car Ferry to the Maiii- land, represcntng 425,000 bush- els.

From December I, when it bc-

came- necessary to ship in lined and heated cars.`to December 21, last Saturday, i _yo cars, or abontf55-ooo bushels were sent across the strait.

essitatiiig thc use of fifty' cars i day, was attended to.

VVheii wc i‘cniciniber that thi

whole freight cquipnicnt of thi _Prince l'I<l\vard Island railway consists ol' 330 cars, ten per cen of which are always undergoing repairs, some ~i»dca may be had o ` thi: amount of "clicckerpIaying’ done by thc iiiaiiagcmeiit to accom- plish what they did. At present 6( Island cars a day on an averagi cross the strait inward and out Ward by the Cnr _l"cl'l‘y. The bllll of the potatoes is shipped althougl considerable quantities are stil _ moving. .Sliipinciit of oats is non beginning and the remainder of thi year will bc fully as busy as tht last two months have been.

The lintente belligerents are'

discussing the proposed League of Nations, each largely from its own viewpoint. No definite statement has yet been made as to the terms and conditions upon whiclrsuch a league should-be based, All howev- cr, profess to believe that a friend- ly league of all the nations would solve many of the international probleiiis which under present con- ditions can` be settled only 'by the arbitrament of the' sword.

Count D’Estournelles de Con-

stant has submitted' to' Premier Clemenceau his idea df how' such a league should be established. These, summarized, are about as follows: _

"i. Compulsory arbitration with-

out limitation or exception. This leaves out - the old exception of questions involving national honor and dignity. ~ ‘"2. Limitation of armaments, “3. The establishment of a coun-

cil of administration of the nations for fomiulation of ii new internat- ional administration ancl 'internat-

ional law procedure. _

"4, The application, of 'sanctions’

for melting effective the decisions of the of nations. ‘Sanc- tions’_ is' a _diplo_mal:ic expression '~menni‘rlg the various steps for en- _forcing compliance. 'Ifhey are four

whereby the courts of all countries will be closed to a recalcitrant nat- ion. It will thus practically bi quarantined and placed outside thi |pale_ of civilized states. ' _

This mil- itary sanction is the most difficul 'and delicate of all delicate ques- tions involved in creating the soc; iety of nations. - _
