Clueless 767

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition. The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase. The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week. The judge's decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome. Feel free to give an explanation if you think it might help. Clues should be submitted by 3:00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday December 31st.

This week's challenge is:

PEACE (5) or for the more adventurous:

WAR AND PEACE (3,3,5)

Good luck!

Future setters should note that a complete list of previously used words on Clueless, Peer Review and Weekend Peer Review is available here… https://tinyurl.com/4dzss5np

Please note, I have taken the liberty of shortening the deadine for entries this week in case people have plans for New Year's Eve.
By the same token, I think Swarb should post PR whenever he is ready on Wednesday, rather than be tied to a computer waiting for my result
