NO PEACE FOR IRELAND London, Dec. 4.—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Hope for a CtAstm . peace in Ireland was lost today. The chance for definite action disappeared witfi the proroguing of parliament by ’ King George. Great Britain prepared today to bury her worries in a three-day holiday. Newspapers will not publish foi three days and communications and transport will be curtailed. King George, after giving assent to the home rule bill passed by parliament, referred feelingly to the Irish situation, hoping the bill would mean a return to constitutional government. King George also declared the league of nations had shown its value. Miss Gladys Flanders and Mrs. J.' H. Heller went to Pleasant Mills this morning to assist Miss Fanny Heller in the closing of her school. MI . Flanders is the kindergarten teacher in the Peru schools and is home for the holidays.

Cheery Message To Disabled Men (Continued from page one) that improvement and will continue to I have. What 1 speak of here is a barge which I make against myself 1 is well as against the rest of the! ■ eneral public here on the outside. ] The charge is that of negelect. True, the nation has given liberally to see that you are properly housed, dieted and care dfer professionally. Millons have been voted at a mere nod cr these purposes—and then we have virtuously turned away and said, "Well, that job’s done—these boys ran’t have too much.” “But tlie job hasn't been done. You nen know. Where are the visitors who once thronged the hospitals bearing flowers, gifts and entertainment? Where are the folks with three automobiles who used to vie with each other for the honor of taking their wounded heroes out for a spin? Where ire the thousand and one litle human tter.tions from the world outside that mean so much more than medicine and with which the public showered our disabled in war days? Those are the questions you might ask but don’t because you are men—fighting men, fighting now the hardest battle of all And what is our answer? The men and women who are honored to have been your comrades-iu-arms are declaring a new deal. Our local posts in the vicinity of every hospital have their programs under way. You will hear from them. If you don’t, write our national headquarters] We are all going to get together again. Life is going to be made more livable while you are in hospital than when you get out, there will await you at the hands of a grateful people importunities whereby you may train for and take up suitable and congenial occupations in which to start life anew, with an even chance. America ineeds you. The American Legion has no monopoly on loyalty in this country, or on feelings of gratitude to you who have given so much. There are one hundred million others who feel S 3 we do in the Legion. We shall have their support, I know. We’ve all been and we’re sorry. We’re all buddies still— and intend to prove it. jThe American Legion is yours, if in way it can sarve you, command it | We fought together-we’ll stick together now.

With all best wishes of the season and profound admiration, 1 salute you Throughout Indiana, committees from Legion posts will visit hospitals where there are ex-service men. Th<> former soldiers, most of whom are suffering from wounds received in battle, will receive appropriate remembrances from the Legion posts. The state department sometime ag.i assigned to nearly Ifty of the posts a hospital, each, where ex-service men are stationed, and the post members have been making weekly visits to the disabled men.
