 HEARTS OF ORPHANS
1T. $. Soldiers Give Christmas Enter tainment to French War
 Orphans.

With American Army in France, Saturday, Dec. 22.-The United States, represented by contingent of her fighting men, tonight took to her bosom 600 of the war orphans of France and made them happy. In ad- dition 10000 francs were raised with which to provide for the children during the coming year. This was all done at Christmas entertainment ar- ranged by the officers and men of a certain National Guard division in con- junction with the French authorities and the French war officials. Each boy and girl received what he most desired from gigantic Christmas tree set up in a division headquarters town. An American lieutenant played the part of Santa Claus. It was the first real good time the children had had since the war began, for the fathers of nearly all of them are dead, having given their lives for France. Many of them also were motherless.

William H. Hardy, tho only living survivor of the expedition sent to open up the closed ports of Japan in 1853, just happened to be revisting on November 17 last the scene of his old cruise when there was a celebra- ton to commemorate it. Some one discovered him. He was dressed again in a "Jackie's" uniform and taken to Perry's old flagship, the Susquehanna, where he again trod the decks.
 Roland s. Morris, our new ambas- sador to Japan, heard of him and in sisted upon taking him to see the em- peror. MT. Hardy had no formal clothes, so the wardrobes of the city were ransacked until he was out fitted with frock coat and silk hat. Then, as he stood before His Impe- rial Majesty, the ruler of Japan, 1t was discovered that the bell-shaped bottoms of his "Jackie's" pants were sticking below the dress trousers. Also, his sailors blouse was in evi- dence around the neck. But he came back from the party happy that he was showered with such honors and the last one of the old crowd left.

ROIARIANS WILL MAkf' OLD SHOES
 DAY A SUCCESS
Ministers and Others Coop. crate in Plan to Collect
 Shoes for War Victims.

Members of the Rotary Club have received orders to report at the court house Wednesday morning at o'clock with automobiles for assignment to districts of the city in which they are to collect old shoes. to be sent to the war victims of France and Belgium. Each Rotarian will be accompanied by two high school students, who nave volunteered to aid in the collection, and each party will be provided with COW bells to let the folk know they're in the neighborhood.
 Ministers of all churches yesterday announced the old shoes collection and ,requested that those who had shoeA for which they had no use con tribute them to the destitute Belgians and French, through the Rotary Club. General response is expected, and It is now believed that more than l0,OOO pairs will be obtained as result Of the collection Wednesday.
 As indicating the determination of the Rotarians to do their part, and the cooperation they are receiving one incident serves. A Rotarlan who does not own car said yesterday he had . friend "who has agreed to loan me his car, his wife to drive it. and his two sons to help gather the shoes" ~
 Among other tenders of cars is one from the Oilar-O Overland company, which has offered the use of two trucks. The committee in charge of, the col lection requests that those who will rive shoes tie each pair together and place the shoes on the front porch, that no time may be lost in gathering them, After the shoes are assembled at the courthouse they will be packed and shipped to the American Red Cross Society at New York, where such repairs as are needed will be made. The shoes will then be trans shipped to Belgium and France for distribution among the destitute.
 The need for this work cannot pc overemphasized. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the two war fSvaEed countries who are bare- footed. It is almost as important to provide shoes for these sufferers as It ;s to provide food. In the winter they are now experiencing hundreds will die unlses their feet are covered.
 If you want to help," says DICK Knox. vice chairman of the Rotary Clubs committee, "get out those shoes you are going to throw away; tie each pair together and place them in cnnsnicuo1ps place on the front norch. Our fellows will do the rest
 The feature of this work that is unusual in campaign for relief IS that aid can be given sufferers With out expense to the contri'butor-peo- ple are asked only to give something they will not use, anyway.

The straight line is an abomina- ton to the Chinese. They endeavor to avoid it in their streets and build- ings, and have banished it completely where country field paths are con- cerned. They will always substitute a curve wherever possible or they will torture it with zigzag. To the Chinese mind the straight line is sug- gestiye of death and demons.

take time to reorganiZe the govern
ment's policies, and executive adj
ministration. but the men who are
burdening themselves with the task
are certain to realize the fruits Of
their labors before many months.
The commercial and business OPP
portunities lie in. every branch of
industry and trade, just as much so
as confronted the United States 100
years ago. War has created a
scarcity of labor and the wars me-
cessities practically monopolize
transportation facilities. Thus inn
mediate industrial operations would
encounter almost insurmountable
obstacles and heavy financial COM
mitments for new enterprises would
not be justifiable at this time. Mer-
chants everywhere seek American
goods and orders are the easiest of
things to secure, but deliveries are
impossible, except for such goods as
the government permits for the re-
quirements of the war. There is a
worlds shortage of tonnage and no
private enterprise or opportunity can
be permitted to occupy one yard OF
space that energetic prosecution of
the war requires.
Has Fsw ports.
Russia has few ports, and the full
transportation facilities from them
are more than necessary for hand
ling absolutely essential freight. In
refusing to permit private enterprises
to hinder the wars requirements,
Americans must recognize that Rus
STA is taking a proper step to as
sist her allies to win the essential
victory. To this end all else must
be subjected. This con-
dition is likely to continue as long as
the war lasts, but on the other hand,
American capital and merchants in
terested in the Russian field should
not lose O. moments time in having
their representatives in this field
studying it's possibilities, creating
making business con-
necuons, learning where the oppor-
tunfty in their particular lines lies,
themselves of the require
ments of the Russian trade in all its
details, obtaining knowledge of the
people and their language, in order
to facilitate negotiations and there
by equip themselves for the huge
business which is GER
tain. to be coincident with the close
of the war. Those who neglect to
take advantage of the present for
these preliminary steps will find that
when the war is ended others who
have done so will have a decided add
vantage and the field will be occupied
by these and others who are
nearer Russian mar
kets".
