THE WAR .SITUATION.
Beth' Great Britain and the United
States" have again stated the terine
on which ,they will. lay down their;
arms. Last week Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain reiterated.
his peace terms, and on Ilifonday last
President Wilson, before a joint ses-
sion of Congress and. Senate,. gave to
the world his views of the terms the
Allies now fighting e German world
domination would etmsider peace. The
Presiderit's speech Was far more spe-
cific than those of the British Prem-
ier, at the same time pledging his
country to the Alhed policy of no sep-
arate neace, and. said the United States
were with the Allies in the war until
the ead. President Wilson began with
the diclaration that the days of pri-
vate itternational understandings are
One and that covenants Of peace must
teermresse:fed in the open. The oeher
peace given briefly were: -
Abeohite freedom of the seas in peace
or wan!, except as they may be closed
by international stetion; removal:. of
economic barriers among nations as-
sociating theenselves to Maintain
peace; -
Guarantees of reductions of arma-
ments to the lowest Doint consistent
with domestic safety;
Impartial adjustment of colonial
claims, eased on the principle that -she
people concerned have equal rights
with the'Governments whose titles are
to tea determined: .
Evacuation of all Russian territery
and opportunity for Russia's political
development;
Evacuation of .Belgium, evacuation
of French territory . and righting of
the Alsace-Lorraine wrong;
Readjustment of Italy's 'frontiers,
along recoeenizable lines oUnational-
ity;
Free opportunity for 'autonomous
development of the peoples of Aus-
tria-Hungary;
Evacuation 'of Roumania, Serbia,
and Montenegro and guarantees for. all
the Balkan States; sovereignty for
Tnrkey's portion of the Ottoman iEm-
pire, and autonomy for other nation-
alities;
An independent Poland, with aecess
to the seas and' general association of
nations for mut-ual guarantees of in-
dependence and territorial integrity
to large and sin alt states alike.
On the western front fighting out-
side of aetillery duels and raids; has
almost entirely ceased, owing to the
severe weather. The British trenches
are reported to be buried in snow-
drifts. Besides this the weather has
turned. colder and a biting svind keeps
piling up the snow and making trans-
port work very diffleult Notvrithstand-
ing the bad roads the British machine
keeps on"worleing smoothly but more
slowly. for the men in the trenches
have to be provided for and prepara-
tions must be made for the carrying
on of the war. Although there is little
fightine, the men in the front lines are
enduring great hardships in their fight
with the weather and are beginnitig
to long for spring, meek though Will
likely usher in a •reneeinterise
hostilities.
On the Italian front, although win-
ter weather has also i me to it, the
fighting continues, and very encourae-
ine news conies of Italian successes.
We stated last week that the moun-
tain pass as were rapidly being sealed
up with Snow. Since .then the heave
snows have continued, and the Aus-
trian Army with its German contin-
gents in the mountains are being
threatened with destruction from star-
vation and ccld. On the other hand,
there has been little snow on the itlains
where the Allied forces are, and as
they have excellent railroad commun-
ications behihd them, they are stiffer-
ine from no Tack of supplies.
FROM KILLARNEY.
Dear Expositor. --i made a New
Years resolve to address a line to you
and I must nat make a confession like
a friend said to ma, when I asked him
whet resolve he had made, and he re-
plied that he could not hope to improve
upon' some of the resolves •he had
made in the past which had not been
kept, but rather to take a hint from
Sir Hugh John McDonald, when asked
the other day what his reeolve was
replied that he could not do bette
than adopt the. matte of the Boy
Scouts: "Ta do a good act each day,"
That is a very good one for us all but
I have my misgivinge right on the
start, as I it down to write a few
impromptu thoughts, mind you, with-
out notes, as to it being classed by
your readers a good act, but feel sure
of generous treatment, wheu they take
into consideration that it has been
open season for the past ten days, for
deceased turkey and all:minor fowl ef

such history. making prices for all
kinds of produce, and when those
prices are brought to mind, it. also
brings to our minds the•spectre of the
great conflict we are engaged in. And
allow me to say no matter what our-,
Past political leanings may have been
and n matter if we think the past sins
of the Borden government were many
or few; I am proud we have almost a
solid west behind the Govern -
meet. I am also proud that Sir Wil-

midst .of a heated campaign and hold
a series of meetings which were at-
tended by thousands and received the
greatest courtesy on all sides. We

Yesterday, (January 3rd), was the

Vimy Ridge on the 9th of April, and
still carries part of a rifle .bullet in his

rushes at the ridge before a Hun
sniper spotted him. War is all that
Sherman said it was. We are bound
to think so, when we think of the

lowing is a list pf volunta
ter of a Year ago of the nobility of the
tors to rils tee. British ,

year of war has added to for Polling SubtDivision
that fine

Was shown to me the other day; as
I sat near, a Mettler at her son's me-
morial service, and,the bravery shown
by that- moth* as :the service pro-
ceeded, it touched me so deeply, that
thought- a V.C., would be only a.
bauble to °freer such a Spartan moth-
er. I think, that, although. in • the,
past, the name of mother, was hallow-
ed, that after the war it will OccUPY
a much higher place in the historiee
of the world. What a great task lles
ahead of the future historian to ad-
equately place the mothers cif this Do-
minon in their proper category, and
no earnest wish is that it may be
properly done. After thus touching
briefly upon those history making
day, and the many empty chairs
throughout our land, it would dice
tnore than the wit- of Mark Twain or
Charlie Chaplin, as the emigrant, to
bring the smile -Lincoln smiled that
fateful April night at the cleverness
of the actor.- but it was when victory
waA assured after a four years strug-
gle, and as a New Years w:sh let us
all join in wishing for assured victory
for the Allied cause. Then' we will
see additional glory in the cdd flag.
