TO THE LEGIONS OF GOOD EEL lOWS-YOUR CHRISTMAS
 WORK IS AT HAND

It becomes the pleasant privilege of the Tribune this morning to sound it's sixth annual call te the Christmas Good Fellows. Little more than a month remains in which to organize this vast resource of kindliness into an efficient agency for carrying holiday happiness into those byWays of Chica go and it's ehvirons which know too little of the blessings of life
 Tens of thousands of readers of the Tribune have been enlisted in the army of Christmas Good Fellows since the time-December 10, 1909-when the Original Good Fellow called at this office with letter which said in part:
 Last Christmas and New Years Eve and spent from s1O to $2O0.
 Last Christmas morning over 5000 children awoke to an empty stocking the bitter disappointment that Santa Claus had forgotten them.
 Perhaps it wasn't our fault. We had provided for our own. But they seemed far off and we didn't know where to find them Perhaps in the hundred and one things we had to do, some of us didn't think of the heart sorrow of the child over the empty stocking"
 Remember the letter? Of course you do. The wave of cheer started by that letter rolled out into the darkest cor ners of Chicago,
 And every year sice then the Tribune has made an appeal at this season based on the original lteter or the orig inal unnamed Good Fellow. And thou sands of the same type of unnamed Good Fellows have filled empty stock ings by sending little of the money that might have gone for useless things.
 This year the war came, and with it temporary hard times. And the suffer ing was visited upon the poor. To the Tribune made it's emergency appeal several weeks ago to the great un- known brotherhood of Good Fellows to get out early and help.
 The United Charities testifies to the noble generosity of the response. Thou sands of unnamed Good Fellows are providing for the daily wants of thou sands of Chicago's worthy poor This work will go on without Interruption
 At the same time there is now before us the specific, joyous duty of bright ening the Christmas of the poor-the Childrens Day, There must be Christmas jubilee. beyond and above the year round help.-Chicago Tribune.

The Busy Mr. Carothcrs

The mention by the Associated Press dis patches yesterday morning of the visit of George C. Carothers who is described special agent of the state department to Maytorena, and as holding conference with General Scott at Naco' calls attention to the peculiar place in the ma chinery of government. occupied by Mir Carothers. He undoubtedly has had and still has authority from the state department to do something, but just what, has been made clear He is the first of many agents the first of whom was John Lind regarded by the Huerta government as hos tile to it. Another was William Bayard Hale and still another pr. Tupper of the International Peace Forum.
 All these agents, of doubtful authority were with different revolutionary leaders, Carohers with Villa Hale and Tupper were frequent visitors to Carranza. When the break between the First Chief and Villa began, Carothers recognized the guide, philosopher and friend of the latter and was regarded by Carranza unfrendy to him.

 Though at q loss understand why the U. $. sent a special agent follow the army of Villa, do not comprehend why the same was not done woth the other armies Carothers the first and only representative at that time, to follow any of the armies of the Constituencies. Much later another representative dispatched to watch the dealings of Don Venustiano Car While this discrimination may of little importance, still it may in tme throw some light on the present complicated situation
 That Mir. Carothers has overstepped the boun daries of authority, is stated by many Mexicans who had the opportunity to watch his attitude and his work More than protest, l am told has made to the state department, about his in terferng in affairs with which he is not at all con cerned They claim that instead of looking after the American interests in Mexico he became the agent of General Villa. Not only he his agent and advisor, but his press agent He gave interviews for the picturesque bandit general He foretold his movements and pictured him before the press representatives in glowing terms In government he acted though he were paid member of the Villa staff
 The statement mentions also that the secre tary of state for Carranza had lately protested in an interview against the presence of Carotbers in Villas camp describing him "meddler who is plotting with the reactionares back into power in Mexico"
 Mir Wilkens adds: There number of individuals in Mexico who allege that Carothers involved in various business deals that might at least affect his judgment representative of the U. S. These statements have been persistent and numerous and I should think that MT. Caro- thers would take steps either deny them put stop to them"

PARIS, Oct. 23.-An official state
ment issued this afternoon said the
gaps between the allied positions in
the north are closing up, and the Ger
man attacks continue violent. AS a
result, fighting is somewhat of a pen
dulum character. Various gains off
set by various losses have occurred
in the territory.
The statement declares that slight
retirements were necessary where the
German assaults were the most se-
we're. 1t holds that the lines in gen.
eral are unchanged. The enemy con-
tinues active near Arras. 1t is re-
ported the Germans have withdrawn
their advanced lines eastward from
Mariakerke and Middlekerek, as re-
suit of the firing from the British
monitors.
The Germans are heavily entrench-
ed on the east main highway connect
ing Ostend and Nieuport and are also
active along the heights of the Meuse,
near Verdun.
