FROM OUR BOYS
I'm KHAKI.

! told you when | kissed you,
Those lips of yours so sweet,
That l was going to leave you,
And again we may never meet.
Don't give up my darling,
If you love me you will wait,
If we don't meet on earth again,
We will meet at the golden
gate.
Some girls are not patient,
Who will not wait so long,
Will go and love a slacker,.
When their soldier boy is gone.
When he goes to fight the battle,
For his country and for you,
His thoughts are always resting,
On the one he thinks is true.
When he returns in years to
come,
And finds his girl untrue.
His whole life is ruined.
And he's feeling mighty blue.
Bear the strain little girl
May your love be true.
To the soldier boy in khika,
When he comes marching back
to you.
Throw your arms about him,
And let him kiss your sweet
little lips.
Then he will tell you,
About his wonderful trip.
Don't respect a Stacker.
They deserve not a chance,
IHey WHO you tiOIlOT,
Are on their way to France.
| will close this letter,
Hoping you will be mine some
day.
As | bid you good bye.
For the hour and for the day.
1t is good bye for the month,
Good bye for the year.
Remember my love will never
die.
Twill love you true as ever,
And it may be good bye forever.

Darling when | am far away
from you.
Somewhere in France,
| ask you to always think of me,
And pray that / may have a
chance.
To leave you dear it was hard,
The hardest thing of all,
But | am no Stacker,
When | hear my country's
call.
To be at home with you little
girl,
Is happiness that is true.
But | can not see the enemy
down,
The Red. White and Blue.
| used to be with you often,
Beautiful happy days,
But it makes me blue,
To think that we are SO far
away.
Some day in the far future,
This great conflict will end,
And a soldier who loves you.
Will come to you again,
1t is the duty of every girl,
Who is left behind,
To always remember the boy
she loves,
Who is on the firing line.
The girls here are beautiful,
But anywhere | roam.
There are none to compare.
With the one | left at home.
When the boys are marching by.
In step with some national
hymn.
1t thrills my heart to know.
That | am one of them.
| wonder if she prays.
For the boy that went away,
Into the fields of hardship,
Serving his country dav by day.

| that will contribute to the max.
ing of every day of the coming
year a brighter and easier one
for the recipient. In all your
preparations for this happy sea
son, keep constantly in mind the
fact that we are at war; that our
beloved nation faces a peril new
er before known; and that, to
conquer the foe will require all
the fortitude, all the self-sacri-
flee and devotion of all our peo-
pie. The needs Of our nation
should be paramount and must
be kept ever before US.
In selecling and sending gifts
we should not overlook the un-
precedented congestion of rail-
road traffic. occasioned by the
demands of the war and send only
such articles as will require the
minimum Of space.
Let me appeal especially to
patriotic housewives, the loyal
mothers of the state, to bear in
mind the worlds shortage of es-
sential foods. Every cake elimi-
mated, every pound of candy un-
made. every ounce of meat or
fat saved will be patriotic contri-
button to the cause of humanity
and liberty in this titanic strug-
gle.
Unless we are able to save at
least one-third of our normal con-
sumption of wheat, flour, sugar,
fats and meats, we will scarcely
be able to meet even the mini
mum requirements of our soldiers
and sailors and those OF our he
roic allies. and their civilian pop
ulation. Gaunt hunger must not
stalk abroad in the homes of pat
lent. suffering bleeding France,
nor sit unbidden and unwelcome
guest at the board of constant,
heroic. devoted England. while
we make gourmands of ourselves.
Waste under these circumstances
unnecessary consumption of these
vital necessities is not only repre-
hensible. but smacks of treason
to our flag. ! am fully persuad-
ed that these simple sacrifices on
our part will contribute, not only
to a speedy termination of this
awful conflict, but will bring real
happiness and genuine satisfac-
ton to our hearts and lasting
good to deserving and oppressed
humanity.
I'VE are waging a desperate
battle for the supremacy of dem
ocratic ideals. Let us. therefore
enthrone in our minds, hearts
and homes a real democratic
Santa Claus and demand at his
hands, some needed sacrifice
some substantial and lasting
good to humanity by the just
and proper distribution of his
favors.
Done in the executive cham
ber in Nashville. Tenn. on this
the 3rd day Of December, 1917.
I'm witness whereof, / here
unto set my hand and cause the
great seal of state to be affixed.

A DEMOCRATIC CHRIST
MAS FOR ALL.
Gov. Rye Appeals TO Citizens
To Observe Christmas in
Plain and Simple Way.

A democratic Christmas plain
simple, genuine in spirit, but not
extravaSant or overdone-is the
suggestion of Gov. Tom C. Rye
to the people of Tennessee in a
proclamation issued Monday. In
this time of a worldwide war,
when there is so much want and
suffering, when food and cloth
ing are needed for our soldiers
in the battle lines, and to sustain
our allies fighting for democracy,
the people of this great democra-
cy are asked to sacrifice some of
the pleasures of the Christmas
time. Make gifts if yon will,
but make gifts that will be use
ful as well as pleasing,
The movement for a plain, SIM
pie and democratic Christmas is
being urged all over the United
States, and the national govern
ment urges all states to make the
holiday season fit present condi-
tions.
The proclamation by Governor r
Rye is as follows:
ITO the. People of Tennessee:
Il would not, even if | had the
power, rob the youthful mind of
pleasure which the anticipated
visit of Santa Claus suggests.
and | am loath to disturb the eX-
travagant dream of our grown
up children and cause a rude a.
waKening by touching in with
the wand of truth. But in this
hour of the nations travail.
when our people are having to
meet tests. never before dream
ed of. | appeal to the intelligence
Of the people of this common
wealth and beg that in the midst
of time-honored festivities of a
hallowed season, we keep upper
most in our thoughts the abnOr-
NAL conditions produced by a
worldwide struggle in which our
own nation has been compelled
to unsheathe its sword in de-
fence of principles that gave it
birth.
Even in times of profound.
peace, it would seem there is lit
tie excuse for our extravagant
and needless Indulgence at Christ
mas time. If this he true, then
certainly, under existing condi-
tioDs, there can be no reasonable
excuse for such extravaganza
now. We are waging holy COM
bat TO make the world safe for
democracy. Let us. therefore.
make our own Christmas typical
of our ideals of a worldwide de-
mocracy.
Let me urge our little friends
throughout the state. when writ
ing to their patron saint. to call
especial attention to the needs
of those less fortunately situated.
who might be overlooked and for
gotten by Santa Claus on this an
nual visit. The writing of such
letters will evidence a beautiful
spirit of self-sacrifce and cheer
ful willingness to enjoy less your
selves that others may not be
forgotten. With your gifts. re,
member the gallant soldiers and
heroic seamen. and all our patri.
otic men and women who have
gone from us to make. if neces-
sary. the sublime sacrifice that
free government may not perish
from the earth.
In making gifts, select then
from necessary articles; gifts
that will not only bring pleasuat
because of the thoughtfulness Of
the donors, but answer some es
sentiaf need of the hour; gift

CALLS SUBMARINE
CAMPAIGN FAILURE
Admiral Lacaze, French Admir-
atty Head, Declares German
Hopes Misplaced.

PARIS. Feb. Eft Germany Is
building hopes that her new subma-
rine blockade will cut off the allies
supplies. decrease their military
strength and thus end the war
these hopes are misplaced. The
blockade will never succeed"
Admiral Lacaze, Frances minister
of marine. gave this reply today when
asked for a message to America on
how France views the German sub
marine war.
ct is impossible for me to see how
competent German officials believe
their new move-which is said to be
aimed principally at France and
Italy-can achieve the hoped-for re-
suits" he continued. ION the whole
1t cannot change conditions much
from the past.
"Also since the beginning of the
war. we have doubled our seaboard
imports. The blockade may reduce
the present figure somewhat, but 1t Is
materially impossible for the Ger
mans to abolish these imports.
Take the two main French i'm
ports-coal and flour. The enemy
has been able to sink only a little over
half OF one per cent-.o053 is the ex-
act fgure-of the general average on
coal, while the flour loss Is less than
one per- cent. This flour loss does
not equal the amount the French
baker normally wastes"

SEES NATIONS PERIL
NLOVE OF LUXURY
Rev. Or. Gordon, in Washington
Address, Favors American
Participation in War.

"If George Washington were here
in the flesh today he would sound a
warning against the lack of serious
ness and the the love of luxury which
makes America Indifferent in this
hour of national peril" said the Rev.
DR.. James L. Gordon, pastor of the
First Congregational Church, in a
Washington Birthday address at the
Takoma Park Presbyterian Church
last night.
Dr. Gordon bitterly scored Prussian
militarism and said he believed that
only the entrance of the United States
into the European war, which he
deemed inevitable, would arouse the
nation to its responsibilities.
Until the Prussian military ma
chine, with utter disregard of right
and wrong, invaded Belgium, no man
ever had occasion to be ashamed Of
the fact that he was a German, but
tell you tonight that it is now time
for every German to hang his head
In shame" declared DR.. Gordon.
Right Against Wrong.
ut is now only a question Of right
and wrong. The Kaiser and his forces
are wrong, and every force on the
side of the allies is right, and, in the
words of Patrick Henry, If that be
treason, make the most of it,"
eff there is any German in this au-
dience tonight who tells me that he
will never come and hear me talk
again, 1 will have to say to him:
Very well, then, shall have to get
some one to supply your place, as 1
have done in the past
1.-The United States will pay dearly
in the next fifty years for its fall
ure to protest against the wanton in
vasion and violation of Belgium"
DR.. Gordon said he found in the
character of Washington an ideal for
America at the present time.
when the rest of the world shall
have stamped out the deviltry which
is now going on in Europe, 1 believe
we shall then enter into an era of
EVERLASTING peace, but to share In its
benefits we shall have to share in
the burden of bringing it about" he
said.
Overdose of Chaplin.
DIR. Gordon incidentally praised
Billy Sunday, declaring that, in his
opinion, 1--WE have had an overdose of
Charley Chaplin and we now need
little dose of Billy"
Mrs. Ivy Herriott Shade, soloist OF
Trinity Episcopal Church, Takoma
parish, sang The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," and DR.. A Owen Penney sang
'HThe Sword of Bunker HILL" Major
d. F. Fletcher, president of the Ia
koma Park Citizens Association, I'M
der the auspices of which the meeting
was held, introduced DR.. Gordon.
Major Fletcher announced that the
association had obtained an appropri-
alton of 500, 900 for an eight-room adj
dition and assembly hall for the Ia
koma Park School from the conferees
on the District bill.

An appropriation for four ad-

the Comptroller of the Treasury has
been asked by Secretary of the
Treasury McAdOO. The SECRETARY de-
clares that increased army and navy
expenditures and the creation of new
bureaus and commissions has so in
creased the work that additional help
