1t was big undertaking, calling. as

100 men and wagons. horses and other
equipment. That it is practically Or
ganized and ready for service now is
largely due to the interest the govern
ment has taken in hurrying the plans.
The government also is urging the
tstablisln. ut of an amhuilnc,: corps
in this city to work in conjunction
with the national guard and the field
hospital organization. These prepara-

his 4-year-old daughter In Dayton
Ohio. telling how she expected Santa

would close when she was put to bed.
and the discouraged father carefully
folded the letter into tobacco pouch
that the little girl had given hiM last
Christmas and drank chloroform.
Each year the tragedies OF the holi :.
day season increase their list at the
receiving hospital. generally beginning
earlier than this year. Henry Bum
horst, the man who attempted to take
his life. left his family in Ohio about
six months ago with bright hopes at
home, the pledge having been made
that he would bring the family to the
new home before Christmas.
When he arrived he worked In the
Crown Hill Laundry and lived with his
brother at 1919 East Twenty seventh
street. Every week he put aside 50
against the day when he would be able
to send for his wife and little daugh-
ter, Mabel. Also he had to contribute
$3.50 a week to the support Of his
aged mother, who lived in Dayton.
He had saved more than $50 20

Singing Words Spoken

LONDON. Dec. 2i.-Much hard
language was indulged in. and VEN
omous feeling aroused in the house OF
commons yesterday afternoon over the
retirement OF Vice Admiral Sir Francis
c. Bridgman from the position Of first
sea lord of the British admiralty.
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
who Is member OF the house, and
Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord
OF the admiralty, reviled each other TO
the utmost limit allowed in the British
parliament
"Backstairs methods" "bribes and
threats" gross insinuations' and
"skulkins" we're some Of the choice
phrases exchanged
Briefly, Lord Charles Beresfori
charged Mr.. CnurehQl with pursuing a
policy OF bribes and threats. II, he
said, the sea lords disagreed with Mr..
Churchili's autocratic assumption Of
the executive as we'll as the adminis-
.'".A'N ootiioiHs tlES WIRE ulSIlllSScu
in insOlent letters.
Mr.. Churchill's reply was crisp and
singing. Lord Charles Beresford, he
said, had made a number of insinua-
lions OF very gross character.
HE has skulked in the BACKGROUND
waiting for an opportunity to make
charges unsupported by facts" Mr..
Churchill declared. He has leyele,i
scurrilous allegations Of espionage,
favoritism. blackmai and ineffciency,
against me; but | have never taken
him too seriously. He Goes not mean
to be offensive as he really is. am

fleet, as know how sore he is about
1t, but since | have been at the ad-
miralty have discovered that it would

val men to approve such an appoint
ment."
Mr.. Churchill stuck to his guns IN
saying he had written to Admiral
Bridgman insisting on his resignation
solely on account of the admiral's
health rendering him incapable of ade-
quately fulfilling his duties.

The campaign department headquarters
have been giving you all the help pos
Sible. II has treated each and every

ner. 1t has given each Of your cam
paisns every possible impetus that was
consistent and fair. II has warned eacn
OF you that the race for votes is close
and that you may not have votes
enough to win. That is better to have
million votes too many than to lose
by the lack Of one. That il is better

hours than it is to idle them away. II

but Yourself. Therefore, do not come
