COURSE OF A DOLLAR
LOAN TO UNCLE SAM

1t is easy to visualize the course
of dollar saved from waste and in
vested in Government bonds: First,
it goes to the Government as a
loan for the war; second, it is eX-
pended by the Government for food,
clothing, and ammunition which go
directly to a gallant soldier or sailor,
whose fighting strength is kept up
by the food, whose body is kept
warm by the clothing and whose
enemy is hit by the ammunition.
1t has not been expended in the
purchase of needless food and
clothing for the man at home, and
is therefore released for the use of
the soldier; it is saved wealth to
the man at home and can be loaned
to his Government at interest, with
resulting benefit to himself and to
his Government.

VIII it not be better to fill the law
making bodies with men who will
have an eye singled for the common
good than to continue to send to
Olympia representatives of trusts
and corporations who adopt the As
tor policy of "The people be damed,"
and who seem to get away with it?
This is the time to think and plan.
Our political enemies have been
thinking and planning while we slept.
And so long as we sleep they will
continue to laugh in their sleeves
at the fools born every minute, born
by the ten thousand while the prof.
teers and the plundersers wax rich
in peace time and in war time on
the foolshness of the many.
These are momentous times in the
history of humanity. Great changes,
more significant than we realize, are
taking place. Kingdoms fall be-
cause they rest on injustice, kaisers
succumb because they have burdened
humanity with curse for centuries.
Liberty rises out of travail and an
guish, as life itself comes from out
the womb of suffering, and the
voices of the people, mighty in its
power, demands that the rights of
man shall supercede the greed of the
selfish, and in this terrible cataclysm
that has overcome the race each
must be hero in the strife, that
those who come after us may, like
ourselves, be and remain free because
of the sacrifice made by those who
go before. Do well your part; there

WE WILL WIN THE WAR
AND THEN MAKE PEACE
From Presidents Message)

Let there be no misunderstanding.
Our present and immediate task is to
win the war. and nothing shall turn
as aside from it until it is accom-
plished. Every power and resource
we possess, whether of men, of
money, or of material, is being de-
voted and will continue to be devoted
to that purpose until it is ac-
chieved
eve shall regard the war as won
only when the German people say to
US, through properly accredited rep
resentatives, that they are ready to
agree to settlement based upon
: justice and the reparation Of the
wrongs their rulers have done. &
when this intolerable Thing, this
German power, is, indeed, defeated
and the time comes that we can dis
cuss peace-when the German people
have spokesman whose words We
can believe and when those spokes-
men are ready in the name Of their
eople to accept the common judg-
ent Of the nations as to what shall
henceforth be the bases Of law and
of covenant for the life of the world
we shall be willing and glad to
pay the full price for peace and pay
ut ungradugingly. We know what
that price viii be. 1t will be full,
impartial justice-justice done at
every point and to every nation that
the final settlement must affect, our
enemies as well as our friends"

RED CROSS SEALS
DRIVE TO CONTINUE
TO DECEMBER Ia

With recorders coming into the of
flee of the Washington Association
for the Prevention and Relief of
tuberculosis until the last day, the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals
officially closed December %. Some
energetic managers will continue an
aggressive campaign for another
week, while the seals will be gen.
orally available until December 81
as the holiday greeting they bear
make them appropriate also for New
Years gifts or letters.
To date it is impossible to esti
mate the relative standing of the
various communities, but it is evil
dent that the sale has been a record
breaker and that the quota of two
seals per capita will be reached if
outstanding consignments are turned
into cash. Much depends upon the
response received from seals sent
out to individuals by mail and those
consigned to the schools. Early
returns from both sources have been
satisfactory, and if the average set
is maintained it seems certain that
the allotted quota for the state in
the national campaign will be as
sured
The success of the sale is estimat-
ed not only by the increased revenue
for the work but by the large num-
Der Of new friends won to the cause,
who will, assist during the coming
year IN the vigorous campaign con-
templated by the Association to ex-
tend the visiting tuberculosis nurs-
ing service and sanatorium provis-
ion throughout the state.

BEN TILLETT BEATS
CAPITALIST FUSION

The late parliamentary by-election
in England has not attracted the at
tention it should have. The death
of Sir William P. Byles having va
Gated the seat in North Stafford, Ben
Tillet, the labor leader, was nomi-
mated as a labor candidate, where
upon the Liberals and Conservatives
put up as coalition candidate Sir
Claude Mallet. AS Sir Claude
family goes back to Henry VIII, it
is of some antiquity. In addition he
has been an ambassador in the Brit
ish diplomatic service. Ben Tillet
on the other hand, has served on a
fishing smack, been a bootmaker's
apprentice, sailor in the navy, anC
dockyard worker and strike leader
for which latter activity he has been
in Jail more than one. He is more
over of the Socialist faith. His
four previous efforts to enter par
Lament were easily defeated, but at
North Stafford he vanquished Sir
Claude by 1892 to 1,545 votes, ar
extraordinary overturn, even in view
of the "stale" register and the small
poll. This result will seem of espe-
cial significance to those who look
for a Labor ministry for England
at the close of the war, if not be-
fore. 1t is certainly a sign of the
extraordinary growth of British la
boris power in politics since the war
began.-The Voice, Winnipeg, Man.

bringing their scale for journeymen
to $4.75. The girls will receive
maximum of 1925 a day for day

orators.
Increase Over Former Advance
The new figures represent an in
crease over the advance recon-
mended by the federal mediation
board which visited the city two
weeks ago and which was agreed to
as a temporary settlement by both
sides to permit the operators and
switchboard men to return to work
pending permanet arrangement
which was to have come out of the
conference held in the California
city.
The scale as reported from the
South yesterday was as follows:
Students and Juniors-First three
months, SO, $500 and $1,000 for day,
evening and night work, respective
ly; second three months, $3.50, 5000
and $11.3O; third three months, $40,
$1,000 and $11.80; fourth three
months, $1,000, $11.40 and $12.30.
Operators-First six months of
first year, $11.10, $12 and $500;
second six months, $11.7O, $3.50
and $3.50. Second year, S12.30,
$500 and $14.1O. Third year, $3.50,
$3.50 and $14.70. Fourth year,
$3.50, $14.10 and $3.50.
New Scale for Wiremen
For the wiremen the new scale is:
Journeymen, old wage $4 day, new
$4.75; foremen, old wage 1925 a
month, new $40; head gangmen, old
wage $3.50 a day, new $5.15; cable
splicers, old wage SAFE a day, new
$3.50. Helpers are granted an in
crease of 25 cents a day.
There remain to be adjusted few
matters affecting men and women
strikers in the Northwest who have
refused to return to work, the dis
patches say.
The unions signed the agreement
with the understanding that it
would be officially announced by
the company before January 1
Company officials say efforts to adj
just the Northwestern differences
will be continued.

peace or take any action not loyal

who was foremost leader of Italy's
entrance in the war with the Allies.
M. Golitti at the outbreak of the war
favored Italy's acceptance of the prom

her warning on England and the Allies.
From this he has been held to be
strongly pro-German.

GERMAN FOOD PLOT Barred
Traffic Via Sweden Shown BY Papers
On Suspect.

New York, Dec. 24.--Important docu-
ments said to reveal extensive food
traffic between the United States and
Germany through Sweden, were seized
by federal agents in Brooklyn when
they raided the apartments of Gustav
A. Meyers, a purchasing agent for cer-
tain German firms, and arrested him
as an alien enemy.
According to government agents,
some of the papers show Meyers
shipped to Germany foodstuffs valued
at hundreds of thousands of dollars
and that he had been in communica-
ton with Germany as recently as a
week ago.
Bank books showing deposits of
$4,000 to his credit also are said to
have been found.
