GIFTS TO EUROPE

ents for Sufferers in War
Zone Sailing Ocean.

than twelve hundred tons of Christ
mas gifts, including almost every
thing from toys and dolls to clothing
and food, gathered from every state
in the union for the children of Eu-
rope, the naval collier Jason sailed
today. The docks were black with
thousands of school children as the
ship cut loose. A message of God

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Chicago
Herald's Christmas ship-the U. S. S.
Jason, Lieutenant Commander c. E.
Courtney commanding-starte at 10
O'Clock this morning on her voyage
across the Atlantic ocean, loaded with
a cargo of Christmas presents which
have been donated by the people of
the United States and which on Christ
mas day will be delivered to the mill
lion and more girls and boys whose
fathers have died on the battlefieIds
in Europe during the awful war now
raging there.
Mr.. Courtney prepared memoran-
dunn of the wonderful cargo on the
Christmas ship and here is what it
said:
The last package was placed
aboard at IL o'clock Friday morning.
There is not room for another gift.
The matches are all closed. The ship
is fully loaded.
There are 10000 cases aboard and
this is what they hold:
Fourteen cars of childrens clothes.
Five cars of womens clothes.
One car of mems clothes.
Five cars of toys.
Two cars of shoes.
Two cars of foodstuffs.
One car containing $4,000 worth of
merchandise bought in New York.
Twenty-three cars of miscellaneous
merchandise.
Twenty-nine cars of assorted goods.
A total of 80 carloads of Christmas
presents.
There are about eighteen carloads
of small packages, making the total
number of Christmas donations placed
on the Jason an even 100 carloads of
Christmas happiness. Think of it,
Never before in the history of this
country has a real Christmas ship
started on a trip across the Atlantic
under the circumstances like those un-
der which the Jason sails.
Old and young, rich and poor, and |
very poor ones at that, they have all !
contributed toward the great Christ |
mas fund which is being carried by !
the novel ship commanded by the |
greatest admiral, Sir Santa Claus.
The entire undertaking has proved |
the greatest success imaginable From |
nearly every city, town and hamlet |
in this great country of ours >have
come responses to the appeal to do
on Christmas day for the
children of the war zone
People have given gladly. Everybody
has been eager to help along the good
cause. In one word it has been the
greatest success" which could be
hoped for.
And when on Christmas morning
Santa Claus puts in his appearance
at your peaceful homes we'll may you
,eel proud that in those days of terri
Die strife and untold suffering have
-ou done something TO bring a goodly
christmas cheer to a home that with
,ut your aid and assistance and kind
less would indeed have proved a very
lad and gloomy place.

There is every indication that the

EXPECT GLYNN
TO BE BEATEN
Democrats in Washington Figure That
Whitman Will Be Elected-Hope
for Gerard.

Washington, Oct. 29-As the time for
the November election draws near it is
possible TO say quite accurately what the
Democratic leaders in Washington really
expect as to the outcome of the cam
paign One OF the things to which some
of the most astute of them look forward
is the defeat of Governor Glynn and the
election OF Whitman in New York Ii is
expected that Gerard will win the
senatorship, but Glynn, it is anticipated,
will run materially behind him.
The election of Penrose TO the Senate
in Pennsylvania and defeat Of Palmer
and Pinchot are also expected On the
other hand, the chances for election of
Roger sullivan in Illinois are looked on
by the leaders here as good.
The Democrats expect Neeley Demo
crat, TO win the senatorship in Kansas.
They take it for granted that Connolly
will be defeated in Iowa and Cummins
reelected. THE defeat of Senator
Thomas in Colorado is said to be Ger
tain. Democratic chances in Ohio are
reported good. The Democrats here have
little hope either OF Nebraska or South
Dakota.
As to the House of Representatives
continued control BY the Democrats by
a majority which will run from thirty
to forty.ilve is expected in the best in
formed Democratic quarters. II is adj.
mtted there will be a large slump from
present Democratic strength IN the
House.
