commanded attention today.
The hill of Tahure In Cham

President Wilson Is deter
mined to use all the agencies at
his command to stamp out con-

try to interfere with the manu-

set forth in the strongest pos

claring in response to the Aus
trian note the right of this coun-
try to manufacture and to ship
munitions to any of the belliger-
ents, and he intends that this
position shall be backed up to
the limit.
The plot uncovered in New
York, following the arrest of
Max Breitung, Paul Sitbs and DR..
Herbert Kienzle, is only an out
cropping of operations which are
understood to spread over the
entire country. PROFESSIONALLY
the president knows much more
about these affairs than has SO
far appeared.
In addition to the reports
being made to him by Bruce
Beitaska, chief of the divi-
sion of investigation of the
department of justice, the
president, 1t Is understood,
has in his possession some
important documents cap
tured in a manner similar
TO the Archibald seizure,
which throw an important
light on the question as to
where the money comes
from and who are the di-

ed places we can AZ our hearts are
full OF love for our fellowmen and
our desire earnest to make others
happy we shall not have to seek far.
Everywhere there are lonely ones;
there are those whose hearts are
bowed with grief-perhaps loved
ones are missing from the home. Let
us watch over the fatherless and
motherless darlings cast adrift upon
the wide, wide world. To those
whose paths are a bridge Of signs a
little loving kindness means much
and there is no cost. Let us pray
that our Heavenly Father may a.
suage the anguish of the bereavement
which has come to the nations at
war and leave them only the cher
ished memory Of the loved and lost
and the solemn pride that must be
theirs to lay so costly sacrifice up
on the altar OF war. Let us help
those who are cold and hungry and
make this the darkest Christmas the
world has known, bright and happy.
