WAR SUMMARY

The third Christmas of the war passed without much fighting on the British and French fronts. Ruman- ia's first Christmas as a participant Tn the war witnessed heavy fighting on the Rumanian front. Ground was yielded by the Rumanians at some points under the pressure of the Ger mans and north of the Buzeu-Rimnik road a height was lost by the Rus sians
 In the northwest corner of Dobrud- Ja province, the sector to which the Russo-Rumanian retreat has taken them, the army of Field Marshal von Mackensen has begun to attack the bridge head of Matachin, after Isakish on the east bank of the Danube was captured. In addition to announcing the evacuation of Isakish, the Rus sians admit the occupation of Tultcha.
 British mounted troops, with the cooperation of artillery carried strong position at Maghdaba, twenty miles distant from Fl Arish, which was captured on Thursday. Incom plete reports. says the statement from London, show that 11SO prisoners were captured and large quantity of arms and war material taken. Heavy casualties were suffered by the Turks
 The Russians claim to have inflict- ed heavy losses on the Austro-G German when the latter attempted to recap ture heights occupied by the Rus sians on Sunday in the wooded Car pathians.
 Macedonia, except for artillery struggles, is quiet. The same is true generally of the AustroItalian theatre except for the Julian front, where even such operations have been pre- vented by mist.
 Two British destroyers have been l sunk in a collision in the North Sea. l Fifty-fve officers and men were lost.

 If debating is good for Pittsburg why cities and small towns? With the high school ch dTen stirring things up looking problems improvement and government, perhaps the grown-ups will feel interest affairs It's quite true that high school debates don't settle nation, the debaters do pick up lot of worth information in the process And if we'll they improve the general standards of public speaking will welcome the appearance of community debating?

UNCLE SAM ON WORRY.

Uncle Sam has turned nerve specialist and philosopher at the time The Public Health Service has under taken campaign against the great American worry diseases and the things that produce them has concluded that the chief of breakdowns disorders in general just plain worry The partmenal experts thoughtfully spare the public the statistics and up their conclusions this gem of philosophy:
 "So far is known, no bird tried build nests than its neghbor No fox fretted died of anxiety he lay by enough nuts for two winters instead of for and dog lost any sleep the fact that he did have enough laid aside for his declining years"
 It's of to push this of doctrine The thing that has raised above the the of civilization steady and cumulative has been, as much anything else, the png up of surplus tions thrift has regarded one of the great virtues. Nevertheless it's genuine public service point the evils that follow overdeveloped thrift
 Too many of turning the virtue into vice by senseless and purposeless accumulation after have all we need. And still more of making the vital mistake of worrying and fretting while engaged in acquiring justifabe competence. Worry never by lowering vitality and thwarting what New Thought teachers call the currents of success" stops good things from coming to It weakens our powers for obtaining good things, for enjoying them when they come

sxTY-FoUR HONEST CITIZENS.

writer for McClures Magazine wanted to see wheti- CT the average honest He picked out 100 men and representing twenty different trades and pro fessons, and mailed each letter with dollar bill in it The letters the right addresses but the wrong names so that any recipient would infer that the letter to him by mistake.
 Sixty-four of those dollar bills back. Thirtyhree of them were returned by and 3l by men The natural conclusion 64 per cent of people are so honest that they keep dollar they know doesn't belong to them when they might do so without detection Perhaps percentage should really be put higher than that There may have been many of the remaining wanted to return the money but failed to do so they forgot about it or because they were not sure now to do it.
 Most men and are honest. There's no doubt about it. Even this experiment interesting it is, unnecessary Anybody might have arrived at the same conclusion by consulting the credit of any big bus ness institution merely by observing the vast scale on which business is done in this country. Credit itself is evidence of widespread honesty.

THE PROFITS OF PROHIBITION.

The spectacular anti-quor campaign in Boston, which has just ended was enlivened by remarkable offer made by Engene N Foss former governor of Massachusetts. MT. Foss, who is mutimilonaire was keenly inter ested in making dry. In to the proquor argument that prohibition would hurt the community prosperity seriously with the citys finances by deprivng needed Mir Foss submitted this proposal:
 q will agree that Boston suffers direct loss in the lack of revenue liquor licenses rents and all other taxes connected with the saloons will also agree to positions for people thrown out of work by closing of the saloons To show his good faith he promised to put up a milliondoar bond.
 This was mighty interesting But far it might be regarded merely unusual form of philanthrophy MT apparently did not mean it He is more of hardheaded business than philianthropist He ac companied his offer with this condition:
 Provided the city will contract with me for years give onehalf of any savings the city may make directly indirectly account of the city going noicense This matter is to be referred to commission three the mayor appoint one, to appoint one and those to choose the third member
 Circumstances make the acceptance of his offer i'm possible. But the fact that it made and made with apparent sincerity by emineny successful business man as business proposition is remarkable and sgnf- cant It's hard blow at familiar stereoyped ment that cities need the saoonicense money for public expenses And the conviction is rapidly spread ing nowadays that, as Mir Fosss proposal implies so- briey is as profitable city it is for individual a corporation
