"|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

Over fifty thousand Laiiadiaiis,

(.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

er ideals, for a more sincere and
practical Christiaiity for less sel-
fishness and more thought for oth-

\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 `

plish what they did. At present 6(
Island cars a day on an averagi
cross the strait inward and out

of the potatoes is shipped althougl
considerable quantities are stil _
moving. .Sliipinciit of oats is non

year will bc fully as busy as tht
last two months have been.
The ainoniit of produce inovc`(~

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
fold_: - _ _ _ _ _
.-First'--Diplomatic sanction- ”l_lie qu ry “is Wm _
 mo shall break di_l>;\be onyof the  pmblemgoi have_'rquii¢i:_ __ 
rant nation and give his passports
to the ambassador or minister rep ‘
reseiiting that nation. _
“Second-- judicial sanction
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. ' _
“'I`hirdf-- Economic sanction
whereby the economic means of 'al
nations shall be directed agains1
any recalcitrant state, Thi:
economic \veap0n of the Un-ite(
nations will be a great power in is-
lolating any oEending natflon, cut-
_ting off its foodstuffs and raw mat-
Ierials, when it acts in dcliaiice of
the society of nations.
“Fourth-`-Military saniztioiiz This
is»thc last sanction by which thc
joint nations would undertake to
enforce observance of the decisions
of the society of nations. This mil-
itary sanction is the most difficul
'and delicate of all delicate ques-
tions involved in creating the soc;
iety of nations. - _
this specification was submitted
stipulated that the French advoc-
lates ofthe plan s'hould_ consult
,with British, American and _Italiaii
‘organzations_. They concurring
_the proposition would- be placed
lon the programme for discussion
