Show TO STOP FIGHTING FOR TWENTY DAYS. Senator Kenjon has introduced a resolution in eor.pxess, calling on the warrinr, nation?, in the name of the congress of the United States, to de-Clare de-Clare a twenty-day tnio"1 during the Christmas period. A n; nst commendable appeal, but one certain to moel sith rejection. The allies could nell afford to giant a twenty-day truce, during which lime the trpt ches would be evacuated and the aitillery cease to crah. but with Germany time is ev erything. Everv day's delay helps spell Germany's defeat. But what a pleasing diversion it would be for the soldlen at the front if they could go bono to loved onet at Christmas' We wonder what would happen If the men from tlw contending armies vcre allowed to fraternize during the lull in the battl" ant some one wore to ask them whj they were seeking the blood of each other, while their l;un!lles so sorely were in need of their helping hands? |
