South America Stands
 By United States.

That the vast sums spent by Germany to influence public sen- timent in South America has failed Tn it's purpose IS clearly shown by the present attitude of those countries toward the United States.
 The action of Nicaragua and Honduras in severing relations with Germany may be lightly dismissed by some on the ground that the assistance of the small Central American Republics is not likely to be of much effect one way or the other in the war But their action is, in fact, a fresh and remarkable evidence of the way in which the entry of the United States into the war has stimulated a Pan-American movement which Germany will certainly have special cause to and which will permanently affect the politics of the New World. The array of Republics which in one form or another have now avowed their support of the United States is imposing Cuba has declared war on Germ any; Panama has undertaken to lend aid in defending the Canal; Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Uruguay have placed their coasts and ports at the disposal of the United States; Bolivia has broken with Germany and Brazil has de clared war with Germany and her strong fleet is helping patrol the Atlantic and the 150, 900 tons of German ships siezed in the harbor will be used to carry food to the allies. Argentina has only been prevented from a diplomat ic rupture by a quite unexpected German surrender on the special point in dispute; other Republics have formally proclaimed their approval of the action and mott yes of the United States"
 The growing friendship be- tween the nations of America is especially gratifying to the peo- pie of the United States, and is of great importance just now in the prosecution of the war.

 The German Minister un- nounces that, at the first oppor- tunity. a German squadron will salute the Argentine flag as a mark of respect, the Government having demanded a public cer- mony of reparation both here and in Germany"

 RURAL ROUTE

There is a rumor to the effect that with the view of curtailment of expenses, postal inspectors will go through the country dur ing the next few months examin- ing all rural route roads, routes to be discontinued where the roads indicate continued neglect. Thus one carless road overseer in one road district may be responsible for the loss of a route.

STILL TIME LEFT.

But a few days remain in which to enroll as a member of the American Red Cross. The big drive is now on and Cordova is expected to make a showing that its residents will be proud of. The local managers met last night and plans were formulated to have every man, woman and child on the honor roll.
 Because every man and wo- man in the United States should belong to this great as- sociation of mercy, the direct ors of the movement are hop ing that 10,0O0,000 members will be enrolled by Christmas day. The dues are but dol lar a year.
 How appropriate that the campaign for members comes at the holiday season!
 The Red Cross, more than any other human agency, is spreading good cheer over the world, to friend and foe alike.
 It is an emblem of the Christ mas spirit
 Noble women and charitable men unite their efforts to en- able it to alleviate the wounds of the suffering with light fingers of tenderness, and to bring the light of hope into the gloomy minds of those who know only despair.
 If there was eger a move ment that deserved the sup port of every person with com passion in his heart that move ment is the American Red Cross.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

While Christmas this year will he modified to great ex- tent in so far as the spirit of giving is concerned, it is not wise to suppress the Christmas spirit entirely and 1t is not nee essary to do so. Christmas is the greatest day in the year to the children and they should not be deprived entirely of the good cheer and happiness that accompanies it. Extravagant observation of the occasion, however. should be materially curbed. Our country is at war and nothing should be over looked that will aid in winning

CO[. HOUSE NOT COMMUNICATIVE
 WAR MAI TERS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Dec. 22.--Emphasizing the taciturnity of Colonel E. M House, head of the American mission to the Interallied War Conference, an Eng fish newspaper describes him as a man who would go so far as to ad- init it was raining if there was no one within earshot." This cement evi- dently was evoked from the efforts of newspaper men to interview Colonel House concerning his mission, while he was in London.
 Chesterfield House, that beautiful old home in the Mayfair district of London, was the scene of many in- teresting meetings during the visit of the American mission here. Colonel House and Mrs. House. who accom- panied him from the United States ilNeu there ana meetings were Heiu there between American and British ad- mirals, generals and inanciers. Lady Burton let Chesterfield House to the Duke of Roxburgh, who placed 1t at the service of the American govern ment, with all its Gainsborough and Reynolds pictures and precious old china and books, and even servants with cockades.
 Colonel House met the newspaper men in the library upon his arrival from the United States. He stood in front of the big English fire and beau tiful chimney-piece of the house that Isaac Ware built for Lord Chesterfield of the Letters" There was little news in what the Colonel had to say.

SELF RELIANCE TAUGHT

Soldiers in the national army are not given the training that regulars in the service former ly received. The introduction of boxing and other forGas of exercise shows how old rnles have been discarded and new trails cut out.
 This war gives little chance for the maneuver Of small or large bodies of men in forma. tion. Each soldier has to de- pend on his own initiative more than ever.
 He must learn to act on the impulse of the moment.
 And for that reason the new forms of training have been in- troduced. Army officers are teaching the enlisted men to use their brain and brawn. Training is directed to the end that a mental command may be instantly executed by the muscles. Boxing is ideal for training of this character. The man whose brains and muscles coordinate slowly will get a few stiff punches at boxing and his functions will speed up at once.
 The American soldiers, when they go into the trenches, will be able to exercise the famous American initiative with mus cles mGer nearly perfect con- trol.
 That is the great goal of army chiefs, and it ranks in importance with teaching the soldiers to obey commands au- tomatically and unquestion- ably.

FOUR MINUTE MEN.

The four-minute speech pro- paganda is just as much of a war measure as is any other of the many necessary steps now being taken throughout the en- tire countrv-all in the same direction and all for one pur- pose and aim, to win the war. Therefore. any man or woman who is asked by those in charge of supplying four-minute speakers to fill date and who declines to do so is, in a sense, a stacker. Gift of oratory is not necessary to comply with the request. All that is desir- ed is to simply keep the minds of the people refreshed on the subject of food conservation. Thos s. Scott is in charge of the talk supply in Cordova and he will gladly accept the services of all volunteers for that purpose. Show your pa triotism bv volunteering as a four-minute talker.

GIVES HIS VIEWS
ON THE MAKING
OF NEWSPAPERS
Don G. Seitz of the New York World,
Tells of Clash Between Editors
and Business Office.

Don C. Seitz, now business manag-

ness department.
Mr.. Seits's book Is highly infor.-
alive on all phases Of newspaper max.
ing and full Of hopeful thoughts and
experiences for neophytes in the pro-
fession or trade Of journalism, as he
terms it. He writes:
1.-THE editors have always been con-
temptuous Of the business office, re-
earding 1t only as place where sal
aries are paid, but with very little re-
spect for the struggle to gather in
the wherewithal to pay them. In the
early days Of the trade there was no
business office organisation; only a
clerk or two and the man who han
ded out and received the money for
the circulation. Sometimes the edi-
tor himself stood behind the coun-
ter when the rush was on. Mr.. Pu-
liter (late owner OF the New York
World and the Post-Dispatch) used
to humble his business managers by
remarking that when he was active
he had no business office which was
in a measure true. But the growth
OF the business made management
necessary and. like most things need
ed, II arrived and filled its place. D..
THE New York newspapers Of the
middle decade OF the nineteenth cen
tury had no advertising departments,
indeed, did not control the sale of
their advertising but farmed it out.

Stewart, first and greatest of New

content with an advertisement of $50

"One thing that delayed the de-

was the difficulty in printing any an
nouncement that was in excess of a
single column set in small type. For
years the papers were printed from
type presses where the matter had
