The reply of President Wilson to
Pope Benedict is one of the greatest
papers we have ever read. 1t is a
masterpiece. We believe Mr.. Wilson
has made out his case, and has stated
more clearly than it has yet been done
the absolute necessity of fighting to
successful conclusion in this great
war, or of losing every point gained

GIFTS FOR SOLDIERS

The American Red Cross with its
three million members has just COM
pleted plans for the Christmas cheer
of every soldier and sailor in the Ma
tional Service. Many of the men who
will be in the cantonments and
trenches this year will be spending
their first Christmas away from
home. None will be fogotten.
Red Cross chapters nearest the 50
army camps and cantonments will
probably arrange in their towns, COM
munity Christmas trees with carols.
pageants and holiday movies to which
the 100000 men in training will be in
vited.
Arrangement of the details of the
Christmas celebration for our men in
France is being made, but the Red
Cross will see to it that every soldier
has his Christmas package with it's
message of goodwill from the women
on the home side of the Atlantic.
There will be surprise in every pack
age, but all of them are likely to con-
tain writing paper, pipes, tobacco,
cigars and cigarettes, unbreakable
chiefs and playing cards.
Many of the chapters are already
at work finishing their Christmas al
lotments of comfort bags. Most of
them are made of khaki and are fur
nlshed with extra pairs of woollen
socks, housewives with needles, pins,
thread and buttons. Detailed sugges-
tlons of how to wrap these Christmas
packages for shipping will be issued
by the Red Cross. The Red Cross will
also welcome the cooperation of any-
one desiring to have a part in sending
Christmas cheer to the men in train
ing or at the front. Some people will
want to give money to buy articles,
bags, mouth organs, envelopes and
paper, safety raZors, extra SOAP,
spoons and knives. Some will want
to have personal part in tying up the
packages. Children will be asked to
help with the package making.
The gifts will be bought from con-
tributions especially given for the
Christina sgreeting. The Red Cross
War Fund will not be used for this
purpose.
Last year the American Red Cross
sent presents Of various kinds to the
men on the Mexican border, and the
marines at Haiti and San Domingo
lhe articles were suggested by Cen
eral Pershing on the request of Red
Cross officials. Commenting on the
Red Cross Christmas gifts to the SOL
diers, he said, "These things bring the
soldier to remember that the people
at home are behind him. You do not
know how much that is going to mean
to us who are abroad. You do not
know how much that is going to mean
to us who are abroad You do not
know how much that means to any
soldier who is over here carrying the
flag for his country"

We cannot help admiring the splen.
did patriotism of DR.. Jeter, who has
recently, at great sacrifice, entered
the service of his country as soldier.
But it does seem that man who had
already given two sons had done his
part in that direction. Here's hoping
that the doctor and both his boys will
return safely from the front.

Much agitation is going on about
the necessity of our people eating
corn bread. That doesn't worry this
scribe one bit. Corn mullins, corn
cakes, corn pone-any old way, it is
good. If nothing worse than the ne
cessity for eating corn bread results
to us from the great war, we can
stand that with contented mind.

MORE TROUT FOR HoMEsrAK

MOhE IhOUT FOR HOMESTAKE
Superintendent of the Glenwood fish
hatchery, Sam Thompson came in on
No. l6 Saturday evening with 10000
native trout fry which he turned over
to Frank Bartle and the writer to plant
in the Homestake creek. This shipment
of fish was intended for Minturn, but
when Mr.. Thompson arrived there with
them the party to whom they were con-
signed refused to receive them. From
past experience Mr.. Thompson knew the
fish would be properly cared for at
Red Cliff, so he put them back on the
train and brought them up here. Ed.
Marlow set up all night and cared for
the little fellows and Sunday morning
they were taken out to the stream. This
makes about 100000 fry that have been
put into the streams adjacent to Red
Cliff this year.-Red Cliff News.
