Is the best news trfnee America's entry Into tine "World War, tor as -wo have pointed out Ireland was tho one weak Bpot In England's defensive and diplomatic armor. How tho peace terms will .suit those of us -who desire no con nection whatever -with England re mains to be seen Summarized the terms, at this -writing, appear to be that Ireland is .to be known as tho Irish Free State; that she Is to have a status like Canada and Australia; that she will have complete control of' her own finance; that she will -assume some part of the national debt; that she will give reasonable guarantees to the Unionist minor ity. If this summary bo correct, then however much It may fall short of what wo would wish, wo must still concede that the victory won has been a great victory, particular ly when we consider tho tremendous odds against which tho Irish have had' to contend. Besides wo should remember that It is those who have borno the heat and burden of, tho day of strife those who risked all and dared all for their country who only have the right to say what terms of peace will be acceptable. They know their strength and Its limitations, and If they find It ex pedient to "bring .tho war to a close on. any favorable terms, we on this side of the Atlantic, who have ex perienced nono of the horrors of tho savage warfare which England waged ini Ireland, have no night to disapprove of those terms, however much wo may dislike them. posscsB within her natural terrl tories, and how great has been tho Irish victory a victory for right and justice. ANSWER THAT PUZZLE. Tho LoulsvITlo Herald la mailing out thousands of copies of a puzzle, which it asks citizens to answer, but many of tho recipients would profeT to Tocelvo the Herald's answer to that more Important puzzle, why it injected the religious question into tho recent political campaign. How proud the Herald must bo of tho effusive praise from tho Torch, tho out-orJtown mudgutter organ, for Its conduct during tho recent campaign. TAKE NOTE. i ' ii ml Hats off to the Olan MHirphy! In! a recent report of the War Depart ment on family names in tho World War the name of Murphy led all tho rest. What's la a name? A good deal, and it is a foregone conclusion that a man with the grand old Celtic' patronymic of Murphy or Kelly or Burke or Shea will bo grabbed up quicker by tho recruiting sergeant than, a merer Smith, Brown.' or Bob inon, or even a Sims or a George 'Arvey. Tho Murphys have proved it. The Torch and Junior Order might well ndte this. , , PLORIOU8 TRIUMPHS. GIFTS FOR NEEDY. Th approach of Christmastldo Ktarts most people thinking about what they will give tor Christmas. Wis and practical men and women now mako out a list of friends to be remembered and bestir them- iel-ves to select suitable gifts. They fear, ahove all things at this season ol the year that sdmo worthy friend may be in advertency omitted front their lfet of Christmas benefactions, This fine old custom: of remember ing others at Obiristm&s rightly un dertsood and rightly practiced) springs from tho very soul of tho feast. For Christmas is tho feast of the love of God for man and of man for God, a lovo that is very fittingly expressed by gifts. The feast of God'a lovintg generosity to us be comes the 'feast of our loving gen erosity to Him. But 3di needs nothing, we can give Him' nothing. However in his divino wisdom Ho has provided for all this. Ho points to all those -whom Ho has taken for his brothers) and sisters ini this" Christmas mystery and declares to us that whatever we do to the least of these, his brethren, wo do It unto Him'. Hero is both the Inspiration fpr the feast of Christmas and tho opportunity of .being generous to God Himself in the- persons of those around us. "Even whilo'the ,blazo of Irish glories is at this moment throwing its splendor over tho memory of us all, I believe in my soul that the Parliament of regenerated Ireland will achieve triumphs more glorious, moro lasting, more sanctified nnd holy than any by which her old Parliament Illumined (the annals of our country, and our race." Thus spoko Isaac Butt in 1878. Lord High Chancellor Birkenhead, who is said to have devised tho form of the oath of allegiance: wh ich was accepted by the Irish Ro- pubKIcans at a moment when a peace breakdown seemied certain be cause' Dublin envoys rejected Premier Lloyd George's formula for swearing loyalty to tho!

Tho people of tho world do not want an excuse for failure rtlhoy do not even want a reason for failure. When England recognizes the "Irish Free State" by treaty, that means a recognition of Ireland as a separate nation under all interna tlonal law. CHRISTJIAS. NEARLY ENFORCED.

H There are some features of tho settlement which show bettor than anything else tho character of the autonomy Ireland shall possess1 we refer to thloso; relating to an army and navy. Under the poaco treaty Ireland can havo on army as great in propotrion to tho popualtlon as Great Britain. The latter has ten times tho population of Ireland, therefore Ireland's military arm would be under tho treaty one-tenth of that of Great Britain. The pres ent army of England numbers seven hundred odd thousand men with four hundred thousand territorials, this would give Ireland over Beventy ihouteand regulars and forty thou sand territorials or .milltja, which wo think is a greater number than Ire le&A would car to provide for.

Christian people the world over, In order to remind one another of the generos ity of God towards man, are in the habit of giving Christmas presents to those who are near and dear to them. God's1 Christmas gift to tho world Is peace, that true peace dt heart and mind which can come only from hils presence among us nnd within our souls. For hundreds of years before his birth the people longea lor mis coming; tho prophets had foretold the time and iilaco of hfa birth, and among many other things concerning his advent Into tho world, told of the pefctco which would ho the pi'ocioufc 'gift of the new born Babe. .At his birth angels hovered over the crib and an nounced to the world tidings of groat joy, heralding tho birth of tho Prince of Peace.
