TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

It has been the custom for years
with the Kings Daughters of Car
son to provide the needy Of this city
with a good substantial box of pro-
visions and a few dainties at Christ
mas time. These boxes have always
been greatly appreciated by those re-
ceiving them and a great help through
the winter. While the recipients
might struggle along they are looked
for by some and counted on.
The Kings Daughters have been
called on to such an extent this fall
that they feel that if there is any one
in our midst who would like to help
less fortunate than themselves,
their help, however small or great,
would be greatly appreciated by this
order. There are sent in these boxes
groceries of all kinds, canned fruit,
homemade jelly and preserves, or
anges, chicken, duck or turkey, cauli-
flower and celery. Almost any thing
will be acceptable. This call will re-
main open till next Tuesday, Decem-
Der 10Th, and any II wishing to
donate will kindly send same to Mrs.
Fred Cushing's home, where the
boxes will be packed and sent out.

Nelson made the point that this

Mack would go home and get his pis~
toll and return in thirty minutes.

To RAISE TEN MILLION
FOR NEW SUFFERERS

NEW YORK. Dec. ga campaign
for the raising of $10,000,000 during
the year 1917 for the relief of Jewish
war sufferers opened with a mass
meeting at Carnegie Hall last night.
The Rev. DR.. judah L. Magnes, acting
vice chairman of the American Jew
ish Relief committee, who has recently
Investigated the condition of Jews in
Europe, opened the meeting with an
appeal to the Jews of America to sup
plement the generosity by which they
have, since the war began, contribut-
ec more than $6,000,000, by supreme
effort to raise an additional $10,000,-
600 during the next year.
Those of us in America" he said,
who have not actually seen with their
own eyes, cannot begin to picture
what it means for whole people to
be on the verge of starvation, and for
large part of that people to be ac-
tually starving.
Peace, should it come, will not at
once ameliorate their condition. The
devastation has been too great; the
overthrow of normal economic condi-
tions has been absolute, and there will
be for years widows and orphans to
be provided for, aged men to be sue
cored and able bodied men and women
to be found employment.
Il have suggested, and my sugges-
ton has been received with favor, that
the Jews of America raise fund Of
as many millions as there be needed,
to be loaned without interest, to &C
complish this rehabilitation wherever
it may be needed. From what we
know of the Jewish people, we need
have no fears as to the security, for
that is to be found in the character
and racial stability we boast"

CHARGE BIC TRUST
TO THE NEW5PA PERS

| VIENNA, Dec. "a oncordia,' q
journalistic association of Cranz, con-
sisting of German-writing newspa-
/ papermen of Bohemia, Salzburk and
the Tyrol, has involved itself in a
bitter controversy, and in doing so Is
throwing some interesting side lights
on the newspaper situation in Aus
tria by charging that a definite effort
is being made to assemble the press
of Vienna in a gigantic trust.
Privy Councillor Sieghart of one of
| the largest of the Vienna banks Is
the man the "Concordia" is fighting,
and the journals claim he, not contenI
with controlling large part of the
Vienna papers. is now trying to ex-
tend his. sphere of influence to Boz
hemia and the Tyrol. The control is
being exerted, they claim, through
the banks, and they want the new gov
eminent to take hand in the interests
of free and independent press.
Privy Councillor Sieghart, when
the attack on him opened, defended
himself vigorously, and lin a COM
munication to the new Koerber min
istry devlared. first, that he is not an
owner of large part of the Vienna
press, second. that he has no inten-
tons on the press Of Bohemia and the
Tyrol, and, thirdly, that he never had
any intention to create a newspaper
trust.
"Concordia" returned to the attack
with another communication to Koerb-
er, in which 1.-THE association declared
that Councillor Sieghart controlled the
Vienna "Fruendenblatt" and its ad-
juncts; the Military Press" the
"Vidette;" the Vienna "Mittagzeitung; F"
the Vienna "Allgemine Zeitunk;" the
"Illustrierte Wiener Extrablatt;" the
"Neue Wiener Tagblatt;" the Austrian
"Volkszeitung" and the Vienna "Ach-
/ tuhr Abenrblatt."
AS to Bohemia and the Tyrol Con
cordia enumerated the purchase or
control, through the Sieghart bank,
one Prague daily paper and seven
provincial papers-papers which are
financially bound up with many others
in Salzburg, the Tyrol and Upper
Austria.

The boundary line between the
Argentine and Chile consists of 1000
miles of Andean peaks, most of which
are over $4,000 feet high and some
which rise to $4,000 feet. This mas

few places even by men on foot, and

Chile May Take Care of Her
Endofa New Andme Rail,0ay

VALPARAISO. Chile, Nov. 22.-The
Department of Public Works has again
seriously taken under consideration the
proposition of constructing the Chilean
end of new Trans-Andine Railway.
The line, which official reports say will
be built at the earliest possible
moment, will cross the Andes in the
foreign regions of Lonquimay. The
Argentine end of the new trans-contin.
entail has been completed to whiting
thirty kilimeters of the Chilean frontier
where work was halted to await like
development on the western slope of
the Andes.
That Chile has not as yet rebuilt her
section is due to difference of opinion
among government engineers as to the
most available route. Two counter
lines across the mountains of central
aud northern Chile, but the exhaustive
report of Senior Domingo Duran, gov
eminent expert, which has just been
submitted, seems to have settled the
matter in favor of the southern pass.
The bleak nature of the Andes in the
northern and central parts, with the
liability of avalanches which might
block the line for months, has appar-
emily determined the government TO
commence work in the south where the
forests of the plateau will hold the
sliding SHOWS.
At present semi-weekly trains are
