HUNGRY WILL BE
PROVIDED FOR
Free Lunch Counter to
Be Opened by SAL
vation Army.
GET MANY APPEALS

Free lunch counter for Canton!
That is what Adiutant Demberline
of the Salvation Army is planning tc
install in this city after the Christ
mas season.
The lunch counter will be modelled
after like institutions in New York
Chicago and other large cities, and it
is the hope of Adjutant Demberline
that this plan will meet with the APP
proval of the business men of Can
ton to the extent that they will as
sist him by donating articles of food
that they can spare for the cause OF
taking care of those in need of some
thing to eat.
The food problem is one of the
greatest the Salvation Army has to
solve. There are more applications
for help from those in need of food
7han for any other charity. Every
day many requests are received at the
army citadel for relief in that quar-
ter, and the army cannot always rem
der the aid they would like to.
1t is impossible to make UP baskets
and distribute them to those in need
of food on account of the cost, but
the cheaper plan of installing a free
lunch counter will meet the need ac-
Cording to Adjutant Demberlines way
of thinking.
To institute the free eating place
will require the cooperation of the
business men with the Salvation
Army. Adjutant Demberline suggests
that the butchers send their soup
bones and what meat they can spare
10 the citadel every day and that the
bakers and grocers do the same with
what bread vegetables and other ar
ticles of food they can contribute.
If the merchants will do that Adju-
tant Demberline is sanguine of the
success of the free eating place for
the poor.

This plea merely befogs the issue
for readers not well versed on the
subject, because it tends to create the
impression that legislators who oppose
ship subsidy are against the rebuilding
of the American merchant marine.
AS matter OF fact, the men who are
opposing the principle of a subsidy
opposing the payment of millions of
dollars annually from gae public treas
ury to private ship owners-are more
anxious to put American shipping on
its feet than the friends of the sub

Both friends and opponents of ship

The decline has accompanied the ad-

1859, 66.9 per cent of all foreign com

Worcester, Mass, Dec. 23.-Flying at
a speed of from 80 to 40 miles an hour,
a mysterious airship last night appear
ed over Worcester, lowered over the
city a few minutes, disappeared for
about two hours and then returned to
cut four circles above the gaping city,
meanwhile using a searchlight of tre-
mendous power. Thousands OF persons
thronged the streets to watch the mys-
terious visitor.
The airship remained over the city
for about 10 minutes, all the time at a
height that most observers set off at
about 1000 feet, too far to enable even
its precise shape to be seen. The glar-
ing rays of it's great searchlight, how
ever, were sharply defined by deflec-
tion against the light snowfall which
was covering the city at the time. The
dark mass of the ship could be dimly
seen behind the light.
After a time it disappeared in the
direction of Marlboro, only to return
later.

This is the slogan that has been
adopted by the millionaire shipowners
who will profit, chiefly. from the pas
sage of ship subsidy legislation.
Aware that public sentiment is hostile
to the bill that the party in power will
attempt to pass within the next few
months. the subsidy grafters have de-
cided to make their fight center on an
appeal to the patriotism of the Ameri-
