foreign money order business is in a
chaotic state. 1t began to fall off with
the beginning of the war, and has de-
creased gradually ever since.
II attribute its decrease in a great
measure also to many young men
from the foreign countries returning
home to fight at the outbreak of the
war. Of course they, prior to their
departure, were regular patrons, FOR
few of them did not send money
home at Christmas-tim particularly,
and often during other periods of the
year. The older people, who are left
behind, have less money to send"

time and firm believers in this gov
eminent, as the postal savings &C
counts also show, they are literally
sending "tons of money" back home
now. Their sums vary from 81 to
SIS, posted employees say.
The postal department is using ev-
cry effort to encourage Christmas
sending, although no false hopes of
quick delivery are held out. Supple
mental instructions are printed in vir-
tually every language, including Chi
nese and Japanese, on how to make
cut money order, and they have been
found very useful. The Chinese
Christmas, of course, does not fall on
the same day as it does in this coun-
try, but the Chinese are inclined to
make presents during the American
holidays as well as their own.
Norway, Sweden and Denmark
come in for good share of the
Christmas money orders. Most of
their former citizens in this country
appear prosperous, it is declared, and
they are liberal at holiday times.
Many persons who desired to send
holiday remembrances to friends in
Belgium, Egypt, Mexico and Portu-
gal, as well as Austria, have been
surprised to learn, recently, that mon
ey order business has been suspended,
owing to the fact the United States
has no conventions, as postal agree
ments are called with them.
The Christmas money order bust
ness usually stops about December 10.
Recovery of funds has been more dif-
ficult by the war, and claims for un-
collected orders now require about
six weeks for settlement.

White House Society

The program for the White House
winter social season has been an
ncunced and, as was generally expect
ed, 1t omits the colorful diplomatic re-
ceptlon, because of the war, and also
the time-honored New Years recep-
ton for the public, in accordance with
the custom President Wilson set when
coming into office.
In place of the diplomatic reception
there will be two diplomatic dinners.
The entente diplomats and all neu-
trails will be entertained at the first
and the Teutonic diplomats and all
neutrals will be guests at the second.
The social events all come on Tues
days instead of Thursdays, as former
ly; the season begins earlier and ends
IN February instead of March, prob
ably due to the fact that the White
House wants it over by Inauguration
time.
This is the program as officially an
nounced:
Dec. 12-Cabinet dinner, p. m.
Dec. 19-Judicial reception, 9 p. m.
Jan. diplomatic dinner, 8 D. m.
Jan. 16-Diplomatic dinner, 8 p. m.
Jan. 23-Congressional reception, 9
r. m.
Jan. 30-Supreme court dinner, 8 p.
m.
Feb. 6-Army and navy reception,
3 p. m.
Feb. 13-Speaker's dinner, 8 p. m.
Before the war the diplomatic re-
ception was the social show of the
winter. Invitations were sought so
eagerly by those who were not quite
sure to be invited that the president
set the rule of placing an arbitrary
limit on the number, outside of the

WORTHLESS TESTIMONY
TO WOES OF WAR

women In mourning garb and men
with solemn faces, waiting in line
these days all over the United States
before postoffice windows where for
eign money orders are issued, tell a
wordfess story of the sorrows of wars
destruction reaching across the seas
to America.
A third Christmas-time of world
conflict has seen long lines of happy
folk, radiant with holiday spirit at the
prospect of sending something "home
to the old folks" turned into silent
parties of mourners, sending back
money to alleviate suffering and filled
with anxiety and distress with the un-
certainty of its safe arrival. There is
also the grave uncertainty that when
a gift reaches it's destination no one
will be there to receive it.
Postal clerks have been quick to
note the change. Veterans in the
service who have been issuing Christ
mas money orders to all parts of the
globe for years say they no longer
hear eagerly told stories of the gifts
the money was to buy. They hear only
hopes that it may arrive safely to
provide food, clothing and fire or per-
haps medicine.
The line is a little shorter and the
people average much older this year
than formerly. It's decreased numbers
is attributed to the fact that the gov
eminent, despite determined efforts,
is unable to guarantee safe and
speedy delivery of money orders in
the war zone. Old age has taken its
place in line because the sons of many
are now across the seas on the fight.
ing fronts.
Through the postal money order
department the United States will be
Santa Claus to far more people of the
entente allies than of the central
powers this year. Delivery of orders
in England and France have been in
terfered with only slightly. No de-
livery is being made in Austria, and
German points receive their orders
late, if indeed they get them at all.
Virtually no orders are being sent to
Russia, largely because Warsaw,
which was the central station for the
of orders, now is in the war
zone. This situation has affected the
money order receipts in this country
greatly, too, for in former years Rus
slams in the United States led all the
remaining foreign-born citizens in
sending money home at Christmas
time.
Prisoners of war will receive many
money orders this Christmas. This is
particularly true in England, where
delivery is good. By an agreement
made several years ago in a conven-
ton of various countries to effect a
postal agreement, it was arranged
that orders to prisoners of war should
be transmitted free of charge, and the
United States is living up to the
agreement scrupulously.
Submarine activities have had
much to do with decreasing the
Christmas business in foreign orders,
md if the total for this year falls be-
ow that for 1915 as it probably will,
he undersea liners will be blamed for
much of the decrease, according to
third Assistant Postmaster General
Cookery.
OF course it is impossible to say
ust how much the submarine activi-
les have affected the money order
usiness," he said, shut they have cut
down much.'

was in the city Sunday and Monday
from their home at Williston, paid the
educational spirit of Marion county a
high compliment. He alluded to the
fact, that at the meeting of teachers
at Fellowship Saturday, three COM

entertaining the next meeting, and a

their visits is unknown.
