B0LSHEvIKI may
Be REORCAN|zED
(By Associated Press)


When the arInistice agreement be-
tween the Russian government and
the central powers goes into effect on
the eastern front today the enaissaries
Of the several countries will begin
negotiations looking toward peace be-
tween Russia and her former enemies.
Meanwhile it is indicated In London
that the allied powers may be prepar-
ing to deal more sympathetically with
the Rolshevik government
The armistice between Russia and
the central powers is to continue for
% days and for an indefinite period
afterward unless seven-day's notice
is given. Both sides agreed not to
carry on military transfers On the
eastern theatre except those begun
when the treaty was signed.
London newspapers forecast that
the allies will give recognition of the
Bolshevik in order to prevent Russia
from passing under the political and
economic heel Of Germany" Great
Britain is said to have decided to re-
lease Tchitcherin, Russian political
prisoner, and the Bolsheviki are now
permitting British subjects to leave
Russia. To the American delegates at
the Paris conference is said TO belong
the credit for tempering OF the allied
attitude toward the Bolshevidi.

1--WE MUST WIN"

ttTell the American people
for me it is a heresy to say
Germany cannot be beaten.
Germany can be beaten. Ger
many will be beaten"
1--WE have the men and
money to win. But let me
warn you it is one Of the
gravest blunders we could
make to assume Germany will
be beaten as a matter Of
course, no matter, what we do.
We must not assume if we
don't win the war, France will,
nor England will, nor even we
will, simply because we never
have been beaten in the past.
We will only win the war by
being a united nation and by
putting in all of our resources.
eve must make impossible
all utterances in public and in
private which would tend to
hinder the fullest prosecution
of the war. There must be no
pussyfooting in stopping dis
loyal agitators. There is no
twilight zone in patriotism.
We are either for the govern
ment or we are against it.

appointed by Mayor-elect Zimmerman.
The letter follows:
DR.. w. w. Zimmerman.
Mayor-elect. City
Dear Sir:
After careful and thorough consid-
GRAFTON I have been compelled to reach
the decision that it will be impossible
for me to accept appointment on the
Board of Public Works for the reason
that I cannot at this time make the
sacrifice that It would mean to me.
I would not accept the appointment
without not only being willing to but
giving all of my time that would be re-
quired to carefully look after tbs city's
interests and help give each depart
ment coming under the Board of Pub
lie Works such supervision that would
insure to the city a maximum Of ef-
ficiency and full value received for
every dollar expended. In order to do
this it would require a great deal
more Of my time than I can possibly
spare from the various interests that
I am connected with.
I want to assure you that I win be
very glad to aid in any way that my
spare time will permit in helping you
give the city thoroughly business ad-
ministration such as know it is your
desire and intention to do.
Regretting my inability to serve on
the Board of Public Works and thank
ing you for the honor conferred In ap.
painting me, am
Yours respectfully.

ONLY 6 DAYS
LEFT TO BUY
YULE GIFTS
Shoppers, Thwarted by Cold
and Smallpox, Start Rush
on Stores.

Christmas shopping started in real
earnest in Richmond Monday morning,
with only six days left to purchase
Christmas cheer.
Shoppers have been greatly handi-
zero weather and the smallpox situa.
ton. However, with the smallpox sit
uation daily growing better, the spread
of the disease checked and cases rap
idly disappearing. the big rush for an
nual cheer is expected to start.
Indications are that this Christmas
will be observed more reverently than
in the past, with the many soldier
sons of Richmond serving Uncle Sam.
1t will be the first Christmas since
the United States entered the war.
And OF course. war is rejecting its
spirit in every Christmas shop, IN
music, art, books and wearing apparel.
Toys Are Military.
But it's children's toys that has the
biggest war label stamped on them
Playthings now fairly breathe Of the
military and toy submarines to air.
planes can be purchased.
The 1917 type of toy submarine Is
an exact replica Of the real thing. By
the use Of a cleverly devised set Of
valves and levers the new toy sub
marine can be made to fire a torpedo
at some object in the bath tub or a
tub of water, then duck away be-
meath the surface as skillfully as any
U-boat ever built.
OF corse the torpedoes are innocent
little wooden cubes, but they can be
fired with remarkable accuracy.
The rush has already started at the
postoffice. Christmas packages have
been sent every day for more. than a
week, and many are for some soldier
boy from fond and proud mother.
