without a dissenting voice or vote.
I'VE address ourselves TO the:
Sons Of liberty IN all lands; are
now watching with heavy hearts the
desperate contest OF their brothers in
spirit and arms now battling on the
plains OF Russia. Born amidst the
thunders OF the greatest war of all
time. the great Russian democracy
brought TO all lovers OF mans free

insidious foe. now spreading death
and devastation in It's ranks and now
masquerading as a friend and pene-

ZIONIST into the very councils OF the
revolution, the Russian democracy is
now passing through the most criti-
cal time in its struggle for existence.
The American Alliance for Labor and
Democracy sends greetings to the
fighters for liberty in Russia as
brothers in the same cause. The aims
of the Russian democracy are our
aims; its victory is our victory and
its defeat is our defeat; and even the
traitors that assail the Russian de-
mocracy likewise assail us. In the
conflict for the liberty OF Russia, the
liberty OF America is likewise at stake.
Every Russian soldier who faces un-
finchIngly the enemy in the field Is
striking a blow for the liberty OF
America.
The American Alliance for Labor and

for other government bureaus to fill

As the duties of these divisions
who have already left the city will
be principally the inspection and
certification of shrapnel, shells, and
small arms ammunition and guns of
various kinds, the only reason for
leaving is that the required 10000
square feet of office space literally
cannot be obtained in the Capital
City of the nation at war.

This is the first exodus OF its
kind. Many high-salaried officials
are affected by the order OF removal

local channels will be thousands of
dollars weekly.

1.-THE cock shall not thrice crow this
night before you shall deny me-" 1t
Is mentioned In the Bible to denote
the watches OF the night.
The Christmas festivities in the
early days of Christianity lasted sew
eral days, beginning prior to Christ
mas day and the revelries of the
night, in which wines flowed freely,
doubtless led TO a curfew call which
descended to the cock as the other
watch calls OF the soldiers bugle.
In the present world war when the
haunt of the soldier is again world
wide Il is not unlikely that II might
exert an influence on the life of the
domestic animal. The horse, It is
claimed by scientists. can scent the
battle from afar and his nature even
feels the approach of war.
Even again the time of the uni

be changed by the effect of the mill
