The battle to decide whether his

siege of Paris is still in progress, ac-

Future militIry historians will
write volumes about the details of

Waterloo-is contained in one SEN

SIGNS Of HOLIDAY
SEEN ABOUT CITY
Salvation Army Kettles are Sta
toned in Business District,
While MiStIetOe and Holly
Dealers Are Busy.

Everywhere one goes these days
that unmistakable spirit of Christmas
permeates the atmosphere. That feel
ing Of good fellowship and mutual in
terest in the holiday Of all holidays
prevails over practically all things
and all activities.
Criterions of the Yuletide are on
every side, but probably more pro-
nOunced in the business streets of the
city. Almost every store has exterior
Christmas decorations of red and
green. Here and there an electrically
lighted tree looms up TO greet the
passerby.
That omnipresent token of the
Yuletide season-the Salvation Army
kettle-has already arrived. Every
day the kettles with their blue bon
neted misses as guardians are stationed
in the business sections. Now and
then the tinkle of coin dropped 10y
the charitable passerby is heard and
the reports are that the kettle fund
viii be as large this year as in the
past.
Dealers in mistletoe and holly have
erected their stands and the Christ
mas trees are beginning to arrive.
Every store window is filed with in
Vulnerable suggestions for Christmas
gifts and practically all displays are
arranged in keeping with the season.
Rarely is a window deserted Of AZ
least one interested person, whether
the display be of toys OF jewels.
All these tokens are indications that
Christmas is near at hand. There is
an unmistakable something that spells
the coming of the holiday In almost
every store the shopping starts early
and ends late. The lobby OF the post
office is crowded practically all day
with long line of Santa Clauses wait
ing at the windows to send away their
presents
Already warning is being issued
against the dangers of the Christmas
tree Beware of the little tapers that
glow so prettily among its branches.
Beware of the sparkling gewSaws that
shiver against it's eedles. Beware of
the fluffy white snow, tinseled and
heaDed at it's feet Among many
''DOn'ts'' relative to the danger of the
parlor monarch of the wilds here are
some of the more important.
Don't leave the lighted tree I'M
watched.
Don't put cotton beneath the tree
to make the carpet look like snow.
Don't let children touch the tree.
Don't use festoOns of tissue paper
or ordinary cotton OF, the tree.
Don't use ornaments made OF eel
ulOid
Don't remove presents from the tree
until the candles are eXtinguished.
Don't permit draft 10 sway the
branches of the tree while candles are
lighted.
Observance of these warnings of
the Christmas tree viii aid greatly In
eliminating fires and probably fatal
tiles during the Yuletide season in
South Bend.
Charitable organizations are pre-
paring to take care OF the poor OF
the city on Christmas day. The Elks
will have a tree for the penniless
boys and girls and the city is pre-
pairing for a big municipal tree with
proper celebration on the court house
ward. Plans are 10 have everyone IN
South Bend enjoy this holiday and
that which is felt in the air already
is the planning for the happiness OF
others on Dec. 20.

BUSY THESE DAYS
Many Christmas Presents Are
Arriving at Local Office.
Employees Are Now Work
ing Overtime.

South Bend is not only responding
literally to the "Shop Early" move
ment but also to the Mail Early"
crusade which has been advocated by
the postodice department Already
hundreds OF Christmas presents have
been mailed from here and the South
Bend postoffice officials state that the
people here are sending their gifts
earlier than during amy past holiday
season.
Parcel post is playing the principal
role at the pOStOttlce these days.
Since a year ago the postofice depart
ment has increased the weight limit
of packages which may be sent into
what is termed the first zone" from
80 TO 90 pounds. Under the new
wiling packages up TO so pounds may
he mailed 10 towns or points within
radius Of $50 miles at a nominal cost
Nais .'frst zone includes such points
as Chicago. Milwaukee Toledo, Indi-
annapolis, Grand Rapids and Kalama-
zoo. Five cents for the first pound
and one cent for each additional 10
ounces is the rate on parcel post pack
ages in the first zone.
Parcels for points i'm the United
states and Canada outside of the
first zone" can he mailed when
Weighing 20 pounds or less, the rate
being fixed 10y the zone. Because of
the European war the parcel post ser
vice has been suspended with many
foreign countries and there viii be a
large decrease in the shipments out of
the United States
Already the employees at the pOStOf-
flee are beginning to work overtime
and every effort is being made to
make the delivery service as prompt
as possible. Assistants viii be en-
ployed within the next few days TO aid
the regular workers in caring for the
large amount of business. Incoming
as we'll as outgoing business has
shown a decided increase revealing
the fact that persons all over the
country are mailing their gifts and
presents early this year i'm order to re-
lieve the rush just before Christmas
day
II was stated at the postoffice yes
terday that Red Cross seals will be
permitted upon packages during the
holidays but not after Ii was pointed
out that senders should observe that
any parcel post packages should not
be sealed with the Red Cross stamps
or sealed i'm any other manner. This

DIR. MACARTHUR VISITS MAINE.

Dr. Robert Stuart Macarthur, who with Mrs
Macarthur is on a vacation trip down the
Maine coast, stopped over in Rockland last
week and was prevailed upon to give free
pu bic lecture in the Baptist church. His sub
ject was "Topics of the Hour, but he con-
fined himself principally to the work of the
Baptist Alliance in Russia and Burma and rem
iniscences of his recent visits there, closing
with brief review of the war conditions in
Eu rope. "Never BEFORE" he sad Ibid real
ize not only the wickedness and horrors of war
but its dreadful stupidity" In his opening
remarks DR.. Macarthur said that the day was
a joyous enc, inasmuch as it marked the 44th
anniversary of his marriage with Mrs. Mac
Arthur, who sat in the audience. Great APP
plause greeted this announcement, and the
speaker was frequently applauded through
out the evening. The Courier Gazette in re-
porting this lecture said 1.-The great speaker
was in turn tender. witty, eloquent and superb
ly dramatic-the Macarthur liz short that the
world honors as one of her greatest platform
orators of his generation" Those who heard
Lr. Macarthur on the two occasions many
years ago, when he lectured in Belfast, and
who still have vivid recollections of his elo-
quence and the charm of his personality, will
envy the Rockland people who heard him on
this occasion and regret that his itinerary did
not include Belfast He went to Castine from
Rockland for few days stay.
