Cross is planning to provide
every American soldier,
wherever he may be, with q
Christmas package which
will contain little Injuries
not obtainable in the camps
and surely not to be had on
the firing line. In this way
they hope to help, if pos
sible, to give Christmas
cheer to the men who can't
be where they would like to
be on that day-in their
own homes.
This is the plan: In view
of the fact that the packets
destined for France must be
in Chicago by November !,
they could not be made up
here and delivered in Chica-
go by that time, the Bureau
of Supplies in Chicago have
prepared packages which
may be purchased from
them. The value Of each
package is $500. Money for
this purpose is not to be ap-
propriated from the war
fund but is to be raised
through contributions by
individuals for this specific
purpose. i
If You give $500 a pack
age will contain your name
as the donor and q return
card that you may hear from
the man for whom You
helped m a ke Christmas
pleasant. Less than 81 may
be given however; but in
that case a return card can
not be sent. You will know
you helped all you could
J. Albert Kiedaisch, |
chairman Of the committee |
on comforts for fighting
men, has consented to re-
ceive the contributions and
forward them to Chicago
for you. So mail check to |
him or leave the money at

WHERE THE WAR WILL BE WON

What has become of the old-fash-
Toned opinion, held by some high
strategists both in the allied and the
Teuton camps, that the war would be
decided in the East? says the Atlanta
Journal. Time and again during the
first two years of the conflict events
lent a color of likelihood to that the
Dry Had the entente attack on the
Dardanelles succeeded, or the Ger
man thrust into the Balkans been
carried far enough to become a men
ace to British power in the Leyant,
or if the advantages which the Rus
SLAMS, first under Grand Duke Mich
olas and later under Brusiloff, gained
against Austria had been duly sustain
ed or if the Teuton drive upon Ru-
mania had expanded into the far-con-
tinued campaign which once was pre-
dicted, or if the allied army based at
Saloniki had carried out the often
rumored plan Of recovering Serbia
and pressing on into Austria-had any
of these possibilities materialized at
a favorable conjunction of circum-
stances, the prediction that the war
would be decided in the East might
have been fulfilled.
But all the elements in the present
situation point to the Western front
as the decisive field. Particularly
does this appear true since the Rus
sian Reorganization. The allies now
must look to their western forces,
along with those of valorous Italy, to
strike the telling blows; and Ger
many must look to her western lines
for the defense to which she is re-
duced. 1t is there that the major
strength of both sides will be mus
tered and by reason OF Russias pres
ont inaction Germany can do q good
deal OF effective concentrating. 1t
is there, too, that American troops
will march for the great, victory
bringing blow against Kaiserism.

THE NATIONS COAL SUPPLY.


From various sections of the coun-
try come complaints of the existing
| coal shortage. The situation is as
suming the proportions of a crisis. It
is alleged that some operators, dis
satisfied with the maximum price fix
ed by the government for bituminous
| coal, are curtailing production, and it
is reported that the President, after
conference with the fuel admins
traitor, has asked the Department Of
| Justice to look into the matter
That the President, under the pro-
i visions of the food and fuel control
law, has ample authority to keep the
| mines at their maximum production
there is not the slightest doubt Dur
ing t he consideration Of the bill by
congress there was a general and fire.
| quent discussion of the possibility
| of operators attempting to thWart the
| purpose of the act by closing their
| mines or reducing the output. and a
specific safeguard was provided The
law stipulates that if any producer
fails to conform to the prices lXed by
the President or if he conducts his
business prejudicial to the public in
terest the President is empowered to
| take over the business and conduct it
| for such time as he may consider nee
essary. In addition to this authority
for Selling the mines. The law il? poses
| a heavy fine and Imprisonment for vi
| 0lation Of the act.
Consequently there exists no room
Tor doubt as to the power Of the
| President. The mail ruestion is
whether the operators are conducting
their mines prejudiclal to he public
interest. and upon this point there is

never a sound in her bare feet, and
saw, somewhat to her surprise, that
the dungeon door was open. Quickly
she flung it shut, pushed the tiny key
that moved the "catch," and was rush
ing up the stairs again with never a

A strange sight met her eyes in the
twins room. The twins themselves

and our ruby rings are gone. We
heard him step across the room and

went into "Prudence's room and woke

we didn't waken her because we didn't

girls-and you tell the rest. Prudence"

at the dresser, remembered that :

we keep the money and the silver
ware, and 1 ran downstairs and
slammed the door and locked it, and
went back up. I didn't hear a sound
downstairs"
Mr.. Allan laughed heartily. "Well.
your burglar was in that closet after
the money, no doubt, and he didn't
near you coming, and got locked in"
In few minutes they heard foot
steps around the house and knew the
officers had arrived. Mr.. Allan let
them into the house, four of them, and
led them out to the hall. There could
be no doubt whatever that the burglar
was in the dungeon. He had been
busy with his knife, and the lock was
nearly removed. If the officers had
been two minutes later, the dungeon
would have been empty. The girls were
sent upstairs at once, with the Allan
boy as guard-as guard, without re-
gard for the fact that he was probably
more frightened than any one of them.
The chief officer raped briskly on
the dungeon door. Then he clicked his
revolver.
There are enough of us to over
power three of you," he said CURLY.
And we have men outside the house,
too. If you put your firearms on the
door, and hold both hands over your
mead, you'll be we'll treated. If your
hands are not up, we fire on sight. Get
your revolvers ready, boys"
Then the officer opened the door.
Evidently the burglar was wise enough
TO appreciate the funlity of fighting
against odds. His hands were above
ais head, and in less than a second he
was securely manacled.
