No fuss, no Journalism. Just the con-

Just 4 partial realization of the
faint hope that filled some dying
Woman's soul as she took the last kiss
from her baby's innocent 1ips-the
hope that some one in the world that
was growing dark SO fast might give
her child q little of the vast love that
filled her own breast, a tiny bit of the
comfort she would have loved so
greatly to, bestow, a touch of the pity
that was so great it seemed like pain.
Just a hint, in brief, of motherhood's s
divineness.
Women are sure to respond to this
appeal. Already superintendents of
various, orphan institutions have ap-
proved the plan. 1t is simple. Find
out some orphan who has no visitor
or who is visited at rarest intervals
nnd visit him. That's all! But how
r.uch that little means! Truly in this
world Of ours, when wisdom is so often
COMPOUNDED, the greatest things are
the simplest, and the most good is
cften accomplished By having faith in
what we feel
So much for this Christmas. We
have an idea that tho plan has too
much in it to end there or even to be
confined to Christmas in the future.
Assuredly throughout the year there
will be occasion enough for visiting
tho. orphans from time to time. AS
snredly, when the idea has taken root
ane been approved this year in prac-
tice. there vii be many women who
will make it a point to drop in every

Certainly God did not invent orphans

Won kLuck

1t was three weeks ago today
That we first heard the allies say
Tomorrow morning you'll have learned
How Won Kluck's righ. flank has been turned"
Somehow the turning movement stuck
He didn't bulge, did Herr Kluck;
A few days later word from Paris
Won Klucks right wing, and rank by rank
Maneuver round and turn his flank.
But these corps had rotten LUCK
It's dead cinch to turn Won Kluek.
A week went by when were glad
To get cable from Petrograd.
1t said Won Klucks communication
Was threatened with annhilation
But he stood pat and passed the buck
He's got flank, has Herr Kluck!
And all last week headlines whrled
With the various ways Won Kuck hurled"
Won Kluck's right flank was being pounded;
Won Kluck's whole armyd been surrounded;
The hour for turning that flank had struck!
But the flanll's still there, and SOS Won Kluck.
So take your kaisers and princes and Grafs
Your iron crosses and general staffs,
Your Gen. Joffres and Sir John Trenches,
With all their men in their shelter trenches;
Ill take for mine that game old buck
Who won't be turned-ja, Herr Won K1uck

Pointers for Women

Almost every woman who has raised
family will remember instances
where she has prevented serious sick
ness by having the right medicine at
hand ready for instant use when
needed. A common cold can be cured
much more quickly when properly
treated as soon as the cold has been
contracted instead of waiting until it
has become settled in the system. You
will find chamberlain's Cough Remedy
especially efficacious in cases Of colds

It will be, at its best, the saddest
Christmas, the globe around, in many
a long decade. And while America
will give thanks, in a few days, it will
be for what we have escaped, rather

SHORTENS ALL ROUTES

The adage that time is money" never
has been more forcibly illustrated than
in the methods employed to fix the rate
Of tolls which shall be charged vessels
passing through the Panama Canal There
are numerous elements entering into the
rate OF $50 per net register ton which
has been proclaimed. but chief among
these elements is the question OF time.
South America long has been a BARRED
to more than half the commerce of the
world. Ships have used the route around
the southern tip Of South America for
centuries freight has-been transhipped
by railroad and mule across the Isthmus
Of Panama for half a century. and for
nearly as long a time freight has been
transhipped across the Isthmus Of Te-
huantepec, the lower tapering stretch
of Mexico. But OF all effective devices
to overcome the natural obstacle Of the
South American continent, the Panama
Canal promises to be most effective. 1t
viii shorten most Of the commercial
routes Of the world. The nations OF the
earth have been linked more closely to-
gether.
VOYAGE Shortened Greatly.
Vessels bound from New York to the
west coast of South America will have
their voyage shortened greatly. A ves-
sci bound from New York to VAL
paraiso. Chile, will save 3.747 miles by
using the canal. A freighter making
nine knots an hour will save seventeen
days on that trip. a vessel bound to
CaIlao, far north on the coast of South
America, and therefore a shorter dis
tance from New York as the crow flies.

America Amuses Chinese
ORIENTAL DIPLOMATS CRITICISM
He Suggests an Emperor

Americans are a wonderful people, but
they either wear too little or too much;
they can't cook; think too much Of the
almighty dollar End ought to exalt their
President by creating him Emperor.
So run some cf the remarkable obser-
vations of WI Ting Fang. former Chinese
Minister to the United States, in a book
OF his own entitled America, Through
Oriental Spectacles." soon to be pub
lished. His pointers to Americans are
not dressed like jokes, but II after all
they should be found to be such they
are nothing more than Just plain jokes
not ambassadorial.
One OF the distinguished Chinaman's
real jokes is recalled. which took a very
happy turn. While representing his coun-
try I'm Washington he attended a wedding
celebration and jokingly asked a daugh-
ter CT the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court:
when will IT be your turn to become
a bride"
"I do not know" she replied, II have
not been asked yet"
Then Mr.. WI beckoned a young man
and asked him II he would like to marry
the young lady. Said young man blushed.
admitted that he would be charmed and
in less than three months was charmed.
They were married.
should BE Emperor.
Protesting his seriousness, Mr.. WI says:
Il have often heard the remark that the
President of the United States is no more
than a common citizen, elected for four
years, and that on its expiration he re-
verts to his former humble status Of a
simple private citizen. and that he has
nothing in common with the dignified
majesty of an Emperor. but were the
highest official Of the United States to
be officially known In future as Emperor.
all these depreciatory remarks would fall
to the ground"
Fashion is the work Of the devil" il
the way tbs chapter on American dress

woman is uncomfortable and unhealthy
and quite indecent. he SAYS. "Orientals.
he adds, would prefer that dresses be
worn more loosely SO that the2 figure
should be less prominent"

sidered as indecent in one country is
thought to be quite proper in another" ."
he goes on. Women would never think
of doing this Clearing the upper part of
their bodies as working women in China
do in hot weather.. even during a season
Of extreme heat. yet they do not OBJ
ject even in the depth OF winter to
uncovering their shoulders as low as
possible when attending a dinner party,
a ball or the theater.''
Mr.. WI prefers singing and dancing
girls to so much oratory at banquets. He
SAYS they are more entertaining. He
can see no consistency in allowing prize
fights while tabooing bull fights and cock
fights.
Plenty of Titles.
The former minister is not quite con-
WINGED that Americans do not like titles.
While here he met so many generals.

he says. With equal seriousness. he refers
to our captains of industry who have
"arrogated to themselves a higher utle
and call themselves railroad kings cop

General Average Found.
An exhaustive inquiry among steam
shin owners revealed the fact that II
costs about ten cents per day per net
register ton to move a modern freight
vessel. Although scores OF operating
sheets were examined, the operating
cost was found to be nearly ten cents
per net ton per day in all instances AMI
the general average ascertained Is A.
most exactly ten cents. Having founo
these different elements, the fixing OF
tolls became a matter OF arithmetic.
Obviously, II IL costs ten cents per day
to move a net register ton OF ocean
freight, the snip owner can dilofu " poy
ten cents to save a days operation. The
ship sailing from New York to Valparai-
so, saving, seventeen days steamins
time. could afford to pay $40 for the
privilege of passing through the Panama
Canal. A higher toll would make II
cheaper, so far as this single element Is
concerned. for the vessel to adhere to
the old Cape Horn or Straits OF Magel-
Ian route. Consequently there is lin
itation on the amount of tolls which can
be collected.
Out of the great average Of savings.
il was found that the greatest amount
of shipping probably would be attracted
to the Panama Canal by toll slightly
in excess Of 81 per ton and the exact
rate of s12o, subject to change by Presi-
Dental order. finally was decided upon.
Owing to the greater safety OF the
Panama route, ship owners will irake
an additional saving through their ability
TO purchase insurance at lower rates
than when they risk their vessels In
the uncertain weather that is encoun-
tered at the Horn. But the main consid-
Grafton in fixing tolls was the saving OF
time So much time saved 30 much

BATTLE IN WEST FLANDERS
 RAGING WITHOUT RESULT
GERMANS ADMIT RETREAT

LONDON Oct 29.-The Russians have apparently driven the right wing of the Germans according to the statements made by military critics who have founded their opinions the dispatches from the eastern war theater The German left was shattered about fort night ago near Warsaw. The Germans have offlcally admitted that their forces and those of the Aust1ans have retreaed in Poland and matters look exceeding
 y promising for the allies in that direction It is assumed however, that a. long time must eapse before the real decision the great battle which is now drag gng out like the battle on the Asne The Russians have tremendous forces in Poland and can bring up fresh troops after every engagement The decisive defeat or the Germans and Austrians would mean for them most serious disaster while if the Russians fall back they have the Vstua to protect them well several strong fortresses along it's banks For days 1t is expected
 the great hosts on both sides will be engaged in ing for positions and in entrenchng themselves against the coming assaults which will be delayed very long, The Austrans are said to be sending large renforcements to the front but the necessity for keeping strong bodies of troops along the Servan borders is serious handicap to them They are also compelled to keep strong watch on the Italians but is thought that with all these draw backs they can put nearly million men in the eastern field
