CHRISTMAS CHEER
FOR NEWARK POOR


make it a merry Christmas, indeed,
for as many as We can.
Some Present Cases.
The following cases have been
brought to our attention for presenta-
ton to the Newark public:

NO. 1.
After a long Illness, a man in this
city died. leaving his wife penniless,
with the responsibility of caring for
and supporting four children. She is
a cheerful, courageous little woman
and is making a brave fight against
big odds. She has not yet won out,
but in Just a year the oldest child
can obtain working papers and come
to her aid. The workroom for women
connected with the Bureau of Asso-
ciated Charities found her work at
scrubbing three days a week in fac
tory, where she earns So week, and
Is very well liked, being a good
worker. She wants more days work
| but pending that needs some help to
maintain her home. A definite
amount to aid this family, weekly, for
few months would encourage this
mother.
| The Evening Star suggests that an
| other So a week added to this
mothers present income would enable
! her To care for herself and four chill
| dren until her labor will bring hel
the necessary added income.

NO 2.
There are only two little girls, with
! their mother, in this family, but they
sorely need all the things that other
| little girls need, and many of which
their father provided until he became
q victim of tuberculosis and was sent
to Verona. The father has a good
woak record. and his employers fitted
! him out with necessary clothing fol
his stay at the sanatorium and prom.
ised him employment again when he
is restored to health. Meanwhile, his
wife has no work, and, though rela.
tives have given her shelter, they
cannot do more, being themselves
poor. The Evening Star asks some
4 share of Christmas joy for this fam
ily. The sum of 80 a week would
make this family comfortable for thu
winter, who will provide it?

a general impression is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss Of life and greater pain
are caused. The view is almost GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let, says the Scotsman, unless it is OF
the ~soft-nesed type, is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives Its victim a fair chance Of re-
covery. 1t does not, as a rule, mutt

struggle in the Senate committee on
banking and currency. In the midst OF

UHLANS INVITE DEATH
Work of Cavalry Is TO Draw
Enemy's Fire-Cannot Hope
to Defend Themselves, But
Aim Only to Locate Oppos-
ing Armies.


Rotterdam-Of the German uhlans,
of whom much has been heard In the
European war, Luigi Barzini, a wide
iy Known Italian war correspondent,
says in the Corriere Della Sera:
AS we neared a small station and
the train lessened its speed we saw a
small troop Of cavalry guarding the
railroad crossing-a patrol of uhlans.
Their demeanor was calm. Although
they were in the enemy's country, their
care free attitude gave the impress
sion hat they were merely in q man
euver camp.
THE swarms of cavalry the Germans
send out ahead of their advance are
way, on any path. 1t is their business
to see as much as possible. They show
themselves everywhere and they ride
until they are fired Upon, keeping this
up until they have found the enemy.
Theirs is the task Of riding into death.
The entire front Of the enemy is es-
tablished by them Inc many Of them
are killed-that is a certainty they face.
Now and then, however, one Of them
manages to escape to bring the infor-
nation himself.
THE fire with which the uhlans are
received permits Of a fair estimate Of
the strength of the enemy, for they
know that usually all the soldiers shot
as soon as the cavalry of the enemy
shows itself.
A every bush. every heap of earth,
the uhlan must say to himself: Here I
Will meet an enemy in hiding He
knows that he cannot defend himself
against a fire that may open on him
from all sides. Everywhere, there Is
danger for the uhlan-hidden danger.
Nevertheless, he keeps on riding.
calmly and undisturbed. in keeping
| with German diSciDline.n
In contact work, as the task de-
scribed by Barzini, the uhlan rides in
small bodies until he has drawn the
fire of the enemy Instead Of retreat
Ing, as he may do in ordinary recon
Nuisance work, he endeavors to trace
the front Of the enemy, riding parallel
to it-usually until the vs. man is shot
down. The contact action has, mean
while, been closely observed from the
German front and the advance and at
tack of the infantry is governed by the
information gained at the expense OF
the uhlan, for whom there is no hope
as soon as he is detailed for this duty.

seem to mind this part Of his work.

Not Due to ignorance.

Doctor Briggs received a note from
farmer living back quite a ways in
the country. requesting him to come
as quickly as possible to see his child
who was very sick with "a very bad
cold"
The doctor examined the child and
then turned to the mother.
