arc approaching a season of the year
when indulgence in giving is prae-
tised on every hand. practised gener-
ously. lavishly, extravagantly, and
too otter practiaed senselessly and
harmfully.
Why cannot this giving be directed

Why is it not possible in the name
of the Christ who usually is so little
remembered in the observance of
such customs, to turn the vast OK
pebditure of the Christmas holidays
in the United States into food and
clothing and other necessaries Tor
the unfortunate PEOPLE of the afflicted
countries?
The United States is at peace and
intends to remain at peace with all
the world. It's good will extends
without partiaiity TO all the peoples
OF the earth. Some day. and some
day soon, It will probably have a
great deal TO say and great deal q

peace and with It's permanent main

Some very extraordinary projects

tions in which Secretary McAdoo and
Sir George Paish have been engaged

According 10 the latest Of these
proposals some agreement is 10 be

Hope in the Financial District
CFrom the New York SUM-

BY far the best day business has
seen since the war began was Mon
day when important steps toward
the restoration Of normal conditions
were taken with remarkable smooth
ness. The opening Of the new Fed

confidence, but that was a foregone
certainty. The encouraging thing
was the reopening OF the Cotton hx-
change. which took place without
even FURRY. A certain amount oi
damage to individual traders from
the resumption OF business had been

Hate and War
CFrom the New York Tribune)

AS the weeks go by the bitterness
between England and Germany grows
more and more intense. The fact is
regrettable but true. and there is no
point in CLOSING over the situation.
France is bitterly anti-German; but
so busy are the Germans disliking
the English that they have little ran
cor to express toward the French.
The one great hatred developed by
The war is that between the two most
nearly related races, England and
German.
The English newspapers are put
ting the initiative on the Germans.
Thev cite to support their view the
extraordinary poem from "Jugend'
called "a Chant of Hate Against Eng
land" which ends thus in transla-
ton:
We will never forego our hate,
Hate by water and hate by land,
Hate Of the head and hate Of the
hand.

SUBMARINES AND BATTLESHIPS.
From the Washington Post.
Upon the evidence so far presented
by the European war. IL would be
worse than folly to abandon the con-
struction of dreadnoughts and rely
solely upon a great fleet of submar-
ines. 1t may prove, as Rear Admiral
Sigsbee suggests, that the British
superdreadnought Audacious was de-
stroyed by German submarine, but
even though this were known def
nitely TO be a fact, the case against
the larger type of battleships would
still be standing upon thin legs.
Were il not for her great feet Of
dreadnoughts. Great Britain would
be absolutely at the mercy of Ger

As an auxiliary service. however.

their effectiveness The plain lesson
of the European naval engagements
is that the United States cannot al

Girls Then and Now

Listen at this from that bachelor,
Henry Burckhart,, of the Fayette
Democrat Leader:
Bob White in his Mexico Ledger
says; Time was when no young
woman permitted a young man to call,
or to walk with her while he smoked.
1t was customary for the gentleman to
ask that he be permitted to smoke in
her presence and he expected a re-
fusal."
Quite true when Col. Bob was a
young man. Doubtless Col. White
used to go to see his girl on horse
back, too; but unless the fellow drives
a Car he is considered a "cheap guy"
by the girls of this day. And smoke,
why the dear creatures delight in
cigarc te smokc-in fact some of them
smoke themselves. However, as Col.
White says, there are a few of ''us
old fogies" who like the custom of
"other days best, and sorry to see it
becoming a memory of the "oldest
inhabitants.
"But said the old lady, "tunes
have changed. 1t used to be when
little girl was bow-legged mother
could console herself in the thought
that being girl it wouldn't show;
but my, how times have changed"
