Of the terrible suffering in Serbia and war
wrecked Armenia, a terrible responsibility
is laid upon this nation, so rich in worldly
goods.
America has responded to the call of hui
mainly with an almost unbelievable gen
erosity, but the giving has as yet just
begun.
Serbia and Armenia are very far away,
but not too distant for the cry for help to
be heard in this country Letters written
to relatives and friends in this country are
such as to stir the most calloused and to
appeal to all who live in comfort to give
something of that plenty.
Families separated and suffering, chill
dren starving, girls sold into bondage, men
and women subsisting on herbs and roots
and the off-scourings of cities, eating car
rion and even the filth of barnyards-these
are not imaginary pictures, but are true
representations of what these Christians
are suffering at the hand of the Turks
And that which makes it most pitiful and
which should bring it most closely home
to the American nation is that the fortunes
of war have been especially hard on Ar
menia because so many of its inhabitants
have embraced the Christian religion.
The American nation has given and is
there is much yet to be done. The cry
from the peoples of the world rings out,
Come over and help u.s." and we who
have so much will not fail to hearken to
that cry.

APPLICATION TO
DREDCE is RENEWED

Renewed application on the part of
the Warren Fish Company for per-
mission to dredge and occupy the
slip east of their dock, and to use
the same as an anchorage and moor
ing slip, was reopened by the city
commissioners yesterday, and a num-
Der of endorsements of the Warren
Company's plan were sent in. The
commissioners, however, read all
these and took no action on the per-
NIT after Sorne discussion. On the
contrary, the matter stands now
where it was left when the applica-
ton was first made o week or more
back. >-J
One Of the endorsements which
was attached to the application for
permission to improve the slip was
from Frank E. Welles, of the E. E.
Saunders Fish Company, who called
attention to some of the real adj
vantages which would accrue from
permitting the improvements as de-
sired. Others endorsements were
also read.

SOUTHERN LOYALTY

An article by S. S. Mcclure in a recent
issue of a New York paper, testified in no
unneasured terms to the loyalty of the
Southern States, in this crisis of the world S
history. Among other things, Mr.. Mcclure
said:
"Everywhere II the South I have seen
men in every bus less working for the
common need in organization and produc-
ton The South is especially keen on the
war A pacifst is a copperkead there"
Mr.. Mcclure spoke well ands,ruly. No
where else in the United States has the
manhood of the country rallied to the call
to arms with greater singleness of purpose
than in the southern states. There a
number of reasons for this, first and fore
most of which is that the Southerner is a
patriot both by birth and tradition.
Nine times out of ten the Southerner
is born on Southern soil,-if not, he has
come of stock born in the United States,
and whose traditions are indissolubly one
with this country.
In the west and the east there is strong
admixture of foreign blood. In the south
the per cent is very small. Where it does
obtain, in the Gulf states, it can hardly be
called foreign, for the Spanish and French
blood of the south is older than the F1-rltan
blood and equally as American.
The Southerner is the intense home
lover. His home and his country are one.
Born on American soil, as we<e his fore
fathers generations of fighting forbears
are back of him. He is ardent, by nature
imbued with an undying sense of love and
LOYALTY to his birthplace, and he has gone
out with love of country burning in his
breast tohght for his native land, to up
hold the honor of the Stars and Stripes.
What was true of the Spanish-American
war is true today. The men of the south
have responded to the call to arms almost
as a man.
Dixie is ringing out on many a battle
field in France leading to victory.
Mr.. Mcclure has we'll said that in the
South there is mo grumbling about taxes
or about sending our boys to France And
at the first call of their country the South
responded with that singleness of purpose
which characterizes the true American IN
all that he does.
Long ago the South and the North
buried their enmity. Long ago the south
ern man and the southern woman put by
the bitter memories.
No less loyal because not unmindful of
a sacred past-rather borrowing from that
splendid past valor for the present, he men
and the women of the South have given
themselves unreservedly for their country.
AS the South has forgotten the ennity
that once existed it would be we'll for the
North if there was less comment on what
might be and a generous acceptance OF
what is-an intense and abiding love of
country, devotion to the principles of
liberty, which southern manhood is show
ing in the world conflict.

Monument In the war program of the gov
eminent recently said: rS
IF only the people of the United States
could be made to realize that the very best
thing they can do for their country is to
lead normal lives, to go about their daily
living in the usual way, to live from day
4 to day, in SO far as possible, as if there were
no such thing as war, the war problem
would come far nearer settling itself than
they can possibly settle it with ill-consid
cred enthusiasts and spasmodic efforts"
From some quarters there has come the
cry that this should be giftless Christmas.
That all the money that can possibly be
raised should be sent to our soldiers IN
France, and that this is no time for festiv
tiles of any kind.
But this is a short-sighted way to look
at Christmas giving. It is true that there
is great and crying need both at home and
abroad, but the only way to meet that need
is to maintain our commercial equilibrium,
and the way to do this is to go on about our
business of buying and selling, of taking
and giving, Just as we have always done.
The Christmas season has come to be
something more than mere sentiment. 1t
is fixed season of trade, and however 10th
we may be to acknowledge It, 1t is a time OF
barter and sale The holiday season always
in a measure offsets the dulness of the sum-
mer season, and the failure to spend money
at this time would be a direct and dis
astrous blow to Our commercial life Any
interference with the regular channels OF
trade at this time would not only mean the
loss of many dollars to individual mer-
chants but might promote panic in the cen
tres of trade which would work great IN
Jury to the country, in turn reacting upon
our allies abroad. -
The important thing to do is t. spend
our money with what wisdom we may. To
put it into those channels where 1t will do
the most good. This is no time to hoard.
neither is it time to waste There is need
for every dollar in the United States, but
the place for it is not hidden away where
it lies idle but in the regular channels OF
business where it can do the most good.
Idle money is worth nothing at all. But
every dollar that is put in circulation IN
this country, is worth one hundred cents.
In spite of war prices, times are good
Let us keep them so by making every dol
lar do it's part in the work OF the world.
So shall we not only maintain prosperity
in our own country, but we shall keep our
credit and shall be enabled to do our part
for our own and those of the allies who
look to us for support and assistance.

APPEAL TO HUMAN HEART

The wonderful success Of Haw-
thorne's THE Scarlet Letter" which
has been reborn in William Fox's
film of that tragic novel. has been at
tributed to its appeal to the human
heart. For sixty years it has held its
grip on the world. leaving in all who
read it greater sympathy with the
fallen, but exalted Hester.
Soon after the book was published
in 1850, it was made into an opera in
Europe. In America, 1t has been
dramaticized and the nations great
est actors and actresses have played
Dimmesdale and Hester. In Massa-
chusetts the drama has had the ef-
feet of passion play.
In the william Fox production the
pathos Of the novel has been made
more affecting by perturbation. The
spectator sees the action as If he had
