LONDON, Dec. 6.—In a detailed restatement of policy issued by Lloyd George today calling a forced trial and punishment of men responsible for the war, however high their place, he pledged the entire Influence of the British Government at the Peace Conference to seo that justice was done. In declaring for the expulsion and exclusion of all enemy aliens from British soil, the Premier pointed out that a considerable portion of enemy residents ln the United Kingdom during the war had abused British hospitality, and thus had forfeited their claims to remain. In a statement Lloyd George said: "The kaiser must be prosecuted. The war was a hideous, abominable crime, a crime which sent millions of the best young men of Europe to death and mutilation and has plunged myriads ot homes into desolation. Is no one responsible? Is no one called to account? Is there to be no punishment? Surely that is neither God's justice for men responsible for the outrage on the human race, and they must not be let off because those heads were crowned when they perpetrated the deed. The British Government referred the question of the culpability of the kaiser and his accomplices to law officers, COPENHAGEN, Dec. 6.—Allied and American forces will temporarily occupy Berlin, as exercising police supervision, according to tbe Deutcho Allemagne Zeltung, of Berlin. o PARIS, Dec. 5.—Paris is filled to overflowing, and prices of all hotel rooms following the requisitioning of 25 hotels for the Peace Conference purposes have doubled and trebled and are still going up. Food Is still in ers'.rlction, and prices generally are similarly mounting People arriving ln the city frequently go to fifteen or twenty hotels before they secure any rooms. The city ls getting more crowded daily with the bulk ot the Conference officials and others interested in getting rooms, such as several hundred of the world's newspaper correspondents. LONDON, Dec. 6—The entire Turkish fleet is now ln the hands of the Allies, he Admiralty announced today. The warships, after surrendering, were interned in the Golden Horn at Constantinople. The former German Cruiser Goeben was among the surrendered vessels. LONDON, Dec. 6.—The substance of discussions in London this week between representatives of Great Britain, France and Italy, with regard to the coming Peace Conference were cabled to the American Government, and It Is believed that the message reached President Wilson before he sailed for Europe. Reuter's Limited says there is reason to believe that the President's advisors think the views of Conference will coincide with those of the President. Responsible opinion holds that the ex-emperor and other persons wbo are guilty should be dealt with by tribunals of the associated governments. "Not dead, but sleeping. "Night came releasing them from labor— Whon a hand from out of darkness Touched them and they slept." The funeral of the late William O.

RED CROSS SOCIETY. The house to house collection will take place early next week, as tho usual date, December 24th, would not be convenient to most people. It Is possible that some might think thnt tbe work of the Red Cross is no longer necessary now that hostilities have ceased, but upon reflection all must perceive that this not the case. Unfortunately the hospitals are still full of wounded men needing succor, and wil] be for months to come yet. ln addition to this the epidemic throughout tbe continent has hindered the work very much, anil the secretary read au urgent appeal In the Dally Province of a recent date, exhorting all to do tbelr utmost to make up the deficiency of tbe last few months. The October and November collections were omitted iu Cumberland, by order of the board of health, but let us see to It that the Society loses nothing through this, rather let tho result be a practical demonstration of our thankfulness that the war Is over. The Bewlng meetings in the Council Chambers? will be started as soon as arrangements can be made, but in the meantime sewing and wool for knitting can be obtained from Mrs. Hideout's store. AMY H.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7th,'UU- THE SON OF GOD GOES FORTH TO WAB In the groat drive last October one American regiment got too far in front of tbe fighting and found Itself caught ill a forest, surrounded by the enemy and cut off from rescue. Some ono escaped to bring tbe news. Theu the youngest part of tbe army—the air service—prepared to bring comfort and aid. Every day for five long days tho airmen flow over to drop packages of food aud messages of encouragement till the main line caught up. Though some had been killed and many wounded under the constant shell lire, the survivors In the wood had kept their morale. "Pressed on every side yet not crushed, pursued yet not forsaken, smitten down yet not destroyed," they had kept up courage because they knew help would come. The war In France is not all of the war. If we believe in democracy we must stand by every placo where democracy is in danger; and if we believe in Christ we must prepare to bring aid to every sector where the Son of God goes forth to war. He lights "not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the dark ness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." The war for democracy ls just one part of His war. On one neglected front 4000 miles away a whole nation has been for three years in thc position of that imperilled regiment. A Christian race, they had been living too far within the enemy's lines to be safe! Holding the frontier for us, they have paid a fearful price, for every generation bas undergone a massacre on the least excuse or none. Yet they have held out somehow, "pressed on every side but not crushed," encouraged through Christian schools and churches and friendship, until the horrors of 1016. Then in one concerted drive tbelr country was stripped ml the people exiled before Europe or America knew anything about it. Belgium we know; hut "for these pci pie that huve lived so far away among fanatical heathen masters," as a missionary says, "who is there to speak?" Some one did speak at last; word was brought back to tbe main lines, but only after 3,000.000 people had been thrust out of their homes and driven out iuto the desert to die. Could tbe remnant hold out till help came? The beleagured race bad endured the unfairesl attack tile world bad ever seen. Fahers aud older brothers bad been captured, taken In gangs outside their villages and shot down. Mothers and their families bad been ordered out of their homes wltb no chance to pack up food or clothing for tbe long journey. Girls of high- school age bad beon stolen to be slaves or worse in cruel heathen bonies. Tbe great rank and Ilio of the captive army had gone where lit waa bard to reach them—out Into tin' hostile desert, unfed and unsheltered refuse of the war with God. "A noble army, men and boys, the matron and tbe maid;" that Hue of our hymn has come ulive in tbe near East. .Most of thc men nnd boys have already "climbed tbe steep ascent, of heaven"; they have chosen death. But could tbey not have made terms of peace? The only terms were such as :i soldier must reject. Suppose a captive Canadian soldier were promised life on condition of working his enemy's gun? * * * * Then how could an Armenian accept life on condition ul denying allegiance to his Com- ander-ln-Chief? If tlie soldier would give his life for a country known only three hundred years, what would you expect of au Armenian whose people bave been true to tlieir religion nearly six times as long? Tbey wero pioneers of Christianity, They have obeyed Christ so long that It Is grained In. The women have stood their ground, too. "I will not turn," said one school girl, urged again and again to reconsider nud save herself, from wha'fate she well knew. "Nobody ean mix In my decisions. I will not turn, und It is I myself that say it." And what of the little four-year-old who came walking barefoot into a relief station, a week alone on the road, her only clothing a torn pinafore, and her only food, who knows what scraps aud refuse? Was she not a good soldier, too? Since 1915 Christian America has I een sending help to that vast sorrowful company—a million and a half in dire distress, at least half a million little orphaned children. Hundreds f.f thousands of the wanderers did die, yet a few in every group won through to some relief station in Asia Minor, or to safety across the border in Russia, Persia or Egypt. Did you help? Most of these first refugees are already on the way to be self-supporting. The boys and girls are In school learning how to make their living, the older people are provided with new materials to take up their old trades. Hut. after all, these fortunate ones are just the fringe of the besieged, only the outskirts of the forest that ls being recaptured. The British army, victorious in Palestine, has already released pitiful thousands more, "smitten down, but not utterly destroyed." living God knows how. For them the urgent need Is more money at once for shelter and clothing and food. Last year the Sunday Schools of Canada gave over $100,000 to win the war ln the near East. This year they plan for a gift of $200,000, just one- tenth of the $2,000,000 asked from the schools of North America. This means that the help of every school will be needed If the relief is to reach the sufferers, Only 28,000 schools in the United States and Canada out of about 200,000 had a share In the gift sent last year. Our watchwords thhis year must he "Double our Gifts" and "Double tiie Number of Giving Schools." Plan for big results. You have plenty of time if you begin now. Make sure that your school has a share in the $2,000,000 gift of 1919 by doing your best on Januaryl9t.Ii next —the old Armenian ChriBtmas—when the relief offering is to be taken in all the Sunday Schools of Canada. A letter and package of literature are being sent to every available minister and Sunday School Superintendent In Canada by the Executive Secretary of the Canadian Committee, Rev. S. T. Bartlett, Wesley Buildings, Toronto. He will be glad to send to any enquirer full particulars of the appeal. Germans Shed Their Wings LONDON, Dec. 5.—There will be no formal surrender of German airplanes as was at one time expected, because it has been found impracticable to assemble 2000 airplanes at one place, und it is extremely doubtful If Germany bas a sufficient number if reliable pilots for that purpose. Hence tlie first surrender in history of an air fleet being effected by piece meal. Tlie Germans are shedding their wings in the course of their retreat and the advancing Allies are picking them up.

ABE & CO. send back the glowing young hero of yesterday to live again the sodden life of the dawn-to-sunset worker. War has been described as the failure of peace; and his is one of the reasons why it has failed again and again and yet again and always throughout the ages. Peace does not offer enough latitude for youth; and the young blood that flows hot and strong. Various remedies have been offered for the correction of this crucial error of civilization. It appears to me that the evil is about to correct itself. It is an old saying that every disease has its own cure. But we go further than this; every disease is in fact its own cure. The defence that science has erected against smallpox Is a pocket edition sized and cured hy the aroused blood corpuscles. I have a feeling that this war will do a great deal toward squeezing the romance out of army life. The dreadful squalor of modern fighting gives a new aspect to this age-old drama. After the war is over, the farmer may go hack to the palace gate; he may wear again the gleaming cuirass; his sabre mny flash as of old,-but it will never be the same. Under the shining armor he will, In Imagination feel the cVawlfng vermin of the trenches. When the military band escorts him down the Linden he will remember how, on another day he was escorted into a trench that crawled with lice and gave forth reeking vile odors; that was horrible with filth and mud. Never again can they make him feel romantic about the business of making war. Tills life of a soldier in modem war is the life of an underpaid, overworked ditch digger, compelled to live in discomfort and danger. Taking It by and large, the life of a modern soldier is almost as dull and monotonous and tedious as the life of the dullest civilian. All the glamor has gone. All the magnificence of the manoeuvring armies has passed. The armies do not manoeuvre any more. They go to live in a ditch and stick there (literally) until they are relieved hy other troops. Even the awful grandeur of the artillery duels of the past has heen eliminated. The modern gunners usually do not know what they are shooting at; seldom see what their target, is and sight their guns hy mathematics. The courier with the foaming charger of other wars has become a desk telephone ln this war. There are still gallant charges—probably such stupendous deeds of bravery have never been witnessed before in the whole .history of the war; but it is different. The Othello of tomorrow, as he relates his exploits to his Desdemona, can bo imagined as telling how he led a charge against the enemy: "And did it win the battle?" the wondering maiden will enquire. And the truthful Moor will reply: "Nay; there were 3000 odd charges made along the 500-mlle front that afternoon and mine was one of them." It ls too big. Too vast. The hero of war is lost. . His deeds of heroism have been swallowed up. He is a speck In a mighty picture. He is a grain of sand on a vast stretch of sea beach. He is an atom. That's not the stuff upon which the war monster can feed with safety. With the adventure gone and the pic- turesqueness gone, the war monster is due for a very slim diet. And there is another, still more compelling reason upon which perhaps we may venture to lean. This is an age of intense individuality. In this age, people are struggling for individual expression. Every man and every woman Is aware of the God-given right to he heard. War denies individuality to men. It ships them in bundles and kills them In bundles and buries them in open ditches. War is out of tune with the times. This is one of the strongest reasons why we must fight on at any ' cost until Germany is beaten. The giving of world power to Germany means the submersion of the Individual. It means turning men Into machnles. It means crushing every human soul into a mould.
