Will the New Year bring peace? Peace in Europe will be the great est gift the new year can bring the world. The armies of the Allies and the Teutons have been locked in bat tle so long that the world has be- come almost callous. Every day we have read in the news dispatches ac counts of horrible fighting. Today forty thousand men were wiped out. Yesterday whole battalions were decimated. The day before thous^ ands of men were caught in a trap and killed. '' Reports state that Ger many’s list of killed totals over 2,- 000,0001 Beautiful cities and price less works of art have been razed. Helpless women and children have been driven by the enemy from their homes and starved or thrown on the .mercy of the charitable. No longer are we affected by the horror of these dispatches. Our minds have refused to grasp the trepiendousness of it and we read the war news with hardly more of a thrill than we get from a sensational murder. Solent dispatches from Europe have emphasized the peace note. German Socialists, apparently, are p] Qrr j e demanding that something be* done to Florrie end the slaughter. Austria likewise is ready for peace—in all probabili ty has been for some time. It is not unlikely that France and England, despite their assertions to the con trary, would be amenable if proper terms could be obtained. The neutral world is crying for peace. Will the New Year bring it? Nineteen sixteen will hold much for the United States in the way of prosperity and progress. We have reached a period of construction which will begin this year. Many se rious problems are before the people for solution, and the tendency is te ignore radicalism and to concentrate our efforts an a safe and sane policy. But of all the gifts which the New Year may have in store for us, the greatest would be peace in Europe. Deep blue eyes, the coquette; gray eyas, keen intelligence; green eyi jealousy; black eyes, intensely loving nature, and brown eyes, a kind, hap py temperament. Eyes which appekr impressive and interesting and sud denly flash forth into clear light de note a loving nature and a deep un derstanding of trouble or sorrow Eyes which are always inquisitive, yet, when they look at a person, seem suddenly to become kind and warm, are not to be trusted too far. They belong to the self-seeker. v Auditor’s Appointments. . Snelling, Wednesday, J*t>- B. Dunbarton, Thursday, Jan. 6, Robins, Friday, Jar*, 7. MiUette, Saturday, Jan. 8. Baldoc, Monday, Jan. 10.
