FRANCE WANTS ROOSEVELT

Former Premier Clemenceau of France in an open letter to President Wilson, wants to know why Roosevelt was not allowed to lead an American Army in France? No use, Premier. You must content yourself with the inevitable. Roosevelt, we tell you, made too many speeches in the last campaign, and, is therefore, physical ly incapitated-he must be able to come up to every letter of the require ments of the War Departments ex- animation blanks. The Premier said: "When the Americans landed on our soil we looked for Roosevelt and couldn't find him. In invaded France at the present hour there is a name which represents, by l know not what force of intuition, the beauty of Amer ica's intervention. It is that eff Roose- welt" Read those words again, dear reader. Read them over and over till you have grasped and digested their meaning and eloquence. They are words of a Frenchman-not of an American peanut politician. They are the words of a statesman, not of an opponent to Roosevelt through polite al fear. They are words that will go down in history as the voice of one crying out for the need of leader leader of an army against the great est foe of liberty of the present age the Kaiser: That voice will continue to cry out and resound with an echo above the squaks of Roosevelt's op- ponents, until we are made to realize that the refusal to send Roosevelt to France was the greatest blunder of the age!-Snowfak Herald.

|ST0P WORK TO
| HUNT FOR COAL

panvilte, Va. December iS.---T h e
local coal situation today reached that
stage where men and women employed
In factories took the day OF to make
a personal canvass of the coal yards
to contract for whatever kind of warm
comfort they could find. While coal
wagons can be constantly seen on the
streets these are orders given weeks
ago and which are now being filled.
The situation Is quite critical with no
immediate relief In sight.
Tho two girls colleges are said to be
running very short of coal but they
will probably be able TO continue until
the Christmas holidays. In view of the
shortage of coal in the churches IL is
being proposed to eliminate the sun
day night and the Wednesday night
services In order that rigid economy
may be practiced. The suggestion Is
made that on Sunday night there should
be union serviees until the coal situa-
tion has cleared up.
