HEAVY
PARCELP0ST
BUSINESS
POSTMASTER BYRNE HAS RE-
QUESTED THE DEPARTMENT
TO FURNISH TEAM FOR CHRIST.
MAS DELIVERIES.

Postmaster c.. l.. Byrne has re-
quested the department to furnish
this office with a team for the de-
livery OF the parcel post business
during the holidays. Last year the
department furnished one, and with
out doubt will comply with his re-
quest this year.
The parcel post business has
grown to wonderful proportions in
this city and the office force here is
expecting a record breaker this year.
The employees are preparing for the
rush, and every one will be glad when
it is over. The limited space in the
present quarters makes the handling
of this immense business extremely
difficult, and every one will welcome
the day when the new federal build
ing is completed and ready for oc
cupancy.

To CALL OFF
MINERS STRIKE
IN COLORADO
MINE WORKERS TO CALL OFF
STRIKE WHICH HAS LASTED
FOURTEEN MONTHS.

Denver, Colo, Dec. S.-A recon-
mendation to settle the Colorado
miners strike by calling it off was
made by the international executive
board of the United Mine Workers
to the Colorado miners convention
today.
The strike has lasted fourteen
months. The board announced in
its recommendation that the miners
are not surrendering, but are taking
President Wilson's advice to act for
the good of the entire country. The
board charged that the mine owners
have refused to do as Wilson sug-
gested, and will seek employment for
those who ca;not fill their former
places in the Colorado mines, and
promises assistance to those who fail
TO secure employment.

FOUND DEAD
IN OFFICE
DR.. WILLIAM c. JOHN DIES WHILE
ALONE IN HIS OFFICE IN MUS
kOGEE. HAD BEEN IN POOR
HEALTH RECENTLY.

Muskogee, Okla, Dec. William c.
Johns, prominent physician, was
found dead here in his office in the
Equity building. II is believed that
he died of tuberculosis.
Dr. Johns came to Muskogee eight
months ago from Oklahoma City. He
and his wife went from Muskogee early
in November to Chicago According to
friends of the dead man, Mrs. Johns
remained in Chicago, while her hus-
band started south, presumably for
Muskogee. Before leaving, DR.. Johns
had cancelled his offices in the Equity
building and had turned in the keys,
but his office furniture remained in
the offices.
Two weeks ago Johns wrote to
friends in Muskogee that he had been
hit in the head while in Wichita, Kan,
and was robbed of all his money. His
friends forwarded him money and De
was in a very poor state of health and
has remained in his office since that
time, sleeping on a folding davenport
Meals were carried to him regularly
and friends frequently called at his of
fees. He steadfastly refused to go to
the hospital. According TO friends,
Johns smoked a great deal while ly-
ing on the lounge in his office. Cigaret
stubs were found scattered over the
room Monday morning. An elevator
boy in the Equity building declared
that he entered the rooms at S:15 on
Monday morning and found Johns still
alive. He asked the sick man if he
wanted anything, and received a mega
tive reply. An hour later the man was
found dead

THOUSANDS AT BATTLE FRONT
SELDOM FIRE A SHOT

Bar-Le-Duc,. Dec. ITEMS of thou
sands of soldiers in the active fighting
army at the front have not fired a shot
for a month or two at time. They
serve their fortnight at the extreme
firing line, some hours day in the
trenches, or Just next to them with
their own artillery throwing shells ov-
er their heads, but never having the
chance to empty cartridge at their
adversaries. The intervals in the re-
serve lines are spent in hard work,
trenching and fortifying, repairing the
roads, building shelters for themselves
and the horses and in towns, where
quartered, keeping streets clean.
The private is becoming thoroughly
tired of the war. but his attitude to-
ward all the unromantic aspects of
his work is fine. He understands that
in mending road he is contributing
to the success of the French armies
just ds thouSH ne were Hi'hS d bui' -
though he wants the war to get Oh
ward and end, he cheerfully takes the
commonplace with the excitement
Some of the excellent roads back of
the line are being repaired with poles
cut from the forests laid crosswise,
making the old-fashioned American
corduroy road"

BUG IS NOW
IN JAIL
INSURANCE - SEVERAL HUN
DRED DOLLARS WORTH OF
GOODS RECOVERED.

On the night of October 30, the
store of c. W. Tate at Fox burned,
with its contents. There were sew
eral circumstances surrounding the
burning of the building that aroused
the suspicious of the sheriff
and he began to work on the case
with the insurance people, who were
not entirely satisfied that everything
was well with the claim against them.
Yesterday, as result of the in
vestigations, Deputies Harris and
Brooks went to Fox and placed Tate
under arrest. He is now in the
county Jail, awaiting a hearing.
The officers found approximately
eight hundred dollars worth of mer-
chandise said TO have been taken
from the stock involved, stored in
the loft of a schoolhouse. The goods
will be transported to this city and
stored pending action in Tate's case.

means of defense; and it has always
been of defense that we have thought.
never of aggression or of conquest.
But who shall tell us now what sort
Of navy to build? We shall take
leave to be strong upon the seas, in
the future as in the past; and there
will be no thought of offense or prov
natural bulwarks. When will the ex-
perts tell MS Just what kind we should
construct-and when will they be
right for ten years together, if the
relative efficiency of craft of different
kinds and uses continues to change
as We have seen 1t change under
our very eyes in these last few
months?
"But turn away from the subject
II is not new. There is no new need
to discuss it. We shall not alter
our attitude toward it because some
amongst us are nervous and excited.
We shall easily and sensibly agree
upon a policy of defense. The ques-
tion has not changed ITS aspects be-
cause the times are not normal Our
policy will not be for an occasion.
1t will be conceived as permanent
and settled thing, which we will pur-
sue at all seasons, without haste and
after a fashion perfectly consistent
with the peace of the world the abid-
ing friendship of states, and the un-
happered freedom of all with whom
we deal. Let there be no misconcep-
tion. The country has been nisin-
formed We have not been negligent
of national defense. We are not un-
mindful of the great responsibility
resting upon us. We shall learn
and profit by the lesson of every ex
perience and every new circumstance;
and what is needed will be adequate
ly done"
To peace in Europe the president
referred briefly, 1--WE are the cham
pions of peace and of concord" he
said, And we should be very jealous
of this distinction which we have
sought to earn Just now We should
he particularly Jealous OF it because
Il is our dearest present hope that
this character and reputation may
presently, in Gods providence, bring
us an opportunity such as has seldom
been vouchsafed any nation, the op-
portulity TO counsel and obtain peace
in the world and reconciliation, and
healing settlement of many mat
ter that has cooled and interrupted
the friendship of nations. This is
the time above all others when we
should wish and resolve to keep our
strength by lf-possession, our in
huence by preserving our ancient
principles of action"

ton of the marine contract and ships
articles so entered into, as aforesaid,
between the said ibellants and the
Iibelee, discharged the said ibellants
from and out. of the said vesse!." y
The libel further alleges that How

EDITOR
"SEE HAWAII NEXT"

Until one begins to set down in black and
white the varied features of Hawaii as they
are of concern to tourists no idea can be gained
of the variety of amusements and entertain
ment that this territory offers.
AS the special articles for the Star Bulletin 5
Newspaper Day edition-next Saturday-come
in and are assembled, the wide range of posi-
bilities in this island group are realized anew.
The RESULTS an unanswerable argument in
favor of increased promotion work to adver-
tise to the world, particularly to the people of
the United States, the attraction of our country.
The special edition Will be full of facts and
will carry many especially wall-written de-
scriptive articles. The Star Bulletin aims to
materialize thoroughly the idea of the Promo
tion committee in printing an edition that will
convince tile tourist Hawaii is the place for
his next trip
