to the World

Amsterdam, Dec. 24.-"If the enemy
does not want peace, then we must
bring peace to the world by the bat
tering of our iron fist and our shining
swordV Kaiser Wilhelm declared in a
speech to the second army.
"Despite three years of war and suf-
fering, the kaiser continued, "our old
offensive spirit is still effective"
"This is shown" the German emper-
or added, "by our recent great victor
les in Flanders and at Cambria, where
the arrogant British first felt the
crushing power Of our offensive blow.
The kaiser, continuing extravagant-
ly praised the tactics, strategy and va
Ior of the successful defense of his
troops on the west front He referred
specifically to the defense which Ger
man troops interposed "against the at
tempt to advance toward Brussels y as
"the most gigantic feat in history. "
"The year 1917" the kaiser said,
"has proved that the German people
have in the Lord of Creation above an
unconditional and avowed ally upon
whom they can absolutely rely.
"Without Him all would have been
in vain"
The kaiser IS speech was made Satur-
day to the second army, somewhere on
the west front.

Market Quiet But Firm
and Gains Maintained

New York, Dec. 24.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review to-
day said:
Christmas sentiment pervaded Wall
Street today and generally quiet but
firm mal1ret prevailed. For the first
hour the market was characterized by
shorts covering and holiday readjust-
ments, In the upward movement some
profit taking was manifest, but the
early gains were generally maintained.
During large part of the session
stocks were dull and uninteresting.
Peace talk was heard in brokerage
houses, but the gains were largest in
stocks that had been oversOld. United
States Steel common monopohzed be-
tween 25 per cent and 60 per cent of the
days trading, selling at one time more
than two points above Saturdays close.
Rail stocks were comparatively neglect
ed. Oil, tobacco and motor stocks were
a strong feature of the early trading,
while the equipment issues responded
later on. odd-lot buying, so prevalent,
late this week, continued.
Trading was dull, reflecting the ap-
preaching holiday.

NUx, IRON, PEPSIN
AND SARSAPA ARILLA

The combination Of two great
medicines, Hoods Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron, by taking them in conjunc-
ton, one before eating and the other
after, brings into cooperation the
above-named substances, best for the
blood, nerves and digestive organs.
This combination is especially
recommended in cases that are
scrofulous, or rheumatic, anemic and
nervous, or where the blood is both
impure and pale, deficient in iron =
one of the most common disease
conditions of the present day.
In cases where a laxative is needed,
Hoods Pills should be taken. They
work in perfect harmony with Hoods
Sarsaparilla and Peptiron, and are
mild and efficient.

The Name Of Old Glory
BY JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY

Old Gloryl say, who,
By the ships and the crew,
And the long, blended ranks of the
gray and the blue-
Who gave you, Old Glory the name
that you bear
With such pride everywhere
As you cast yourself free to the rap
turous air
And leap out full-length as we're
wanting you TOT
Who gave you that name, with the ring
of the same,
And the. honor and fame so becoming
to youF-
Your stripes stroked in ripples Of
white and Of red,
With your stars at their glittering best
overhead
By day or by night
Their delightfullest light
Laughing down from their little square
heaven of blue!-
Who gave you the name of Old Gloryq
say, who
Who gave you the name of Old
Glory'
The old banner lifted, and faltering
then
In Vague lisps and whispers fell silent
again.
Old Glory-speak out!-we are ask
ing about
How you happened to "favor" name,
80 to say,
That sounds SO familiar and careless
and gay
As we cheer it and shout in our wild
breezy way
We-the crowd, every man Of us; call
ing you that
We-Tom, Dick and Harry - each
swinging his hat
And hurrahing "Old Glory!" like you
were our kin,
When-Lordl-we all know we re as
common as SIM
And yet it just seems like you humor
us all
And watt us your thanks, as we han
you and fall
Into line, with you over us, waving
US on
Where our glorified, sanctified betters
have gone
And this is the reason we re wanting
to know
(And we're wanting it SOL
Where our own fathers went We are
willing to so.)-
Who gave you the name of Old
Glory-Oho!-
Who gave you the name of Old
The old flag unfurled with a billowy
thrill
For an instant, then wistfully sighed
and was still.
Old Glory: the story we're wanting
to hear
Is what the plain facts of your christ
ening were
For your name-just to hear it,
Repeat it, and cheer it, s tang to
the spirit
As salt as a tear
And seeing you fly, and the boys
marching by,
There's a shout in the throat and q
blur in the eye
And an aching to live for you always
or die,
If, dying, we still keep you waving
on high.
And so, by our love
For you, floating above,
And the sears of all wars and the
sorrows thereof,
Who gave you the name of Old Glory
and why
Are we thrilled at the name of Ole
Glory
Then the old banner leaped, like s
sail in the blast,
And fluttered an audible answer al
last
And it spake, with a shake of the
voice, and it said:
By the driven snowwhite and the liv'
ing blood-red
OF my bars, and their heaven of stars
overhead
BY the symbol conjoined of them all
skyward east,
AS l float from the steeple, or flap al
the mast.
Or droop Ter the sod where the long
grasses nod
Ny name is as old as the glory of God
So l came by the name of Old Glory

EFFORTS TO AID BElGIANS
THREATENED BY BREAK
WITH GERMANY.

An entire diplomatic structure to
project probably two million prisoners
in the midst of their enemies, to care
for whole conquered nation in Bel
gium, to represent the interests of four
sovereign states in Germany and Ger
man interests in nine enemy countries,
crumbled when diplomatic relations
between Germany and the United
States were severed
One Of the most complex, ultra legal
humanitarian machines ever evolved,
the slow, patient work built up during
two and half years of effort, thus is
sacrificed.
American organization and genius
and American means of restraint in
the war zones will cease to operate.
All American representatives will be
withdrawn from Germany and the du-
ties they have performed will fall on
unframed forces.
From Belgium the United States will
not withdraw till II is impossible for
her to continue. The 100 Americans
who have from. the wars beginning
proved ihe directing genius for the
greatest and longest sustained relief
work In history will remain at their
posts unless they are forced to cross
the frontier.
Belgian relief ships will continue to
run FOR the present. it Is understood,

Ready to Supply Own Needs.

The figures are suggestive OF what
has taken place in other industries
which could not be so closely iden-
titled with the actual movement of the
troops. The fact that Ave times as
many railway cars have been shipped
abroad Ind, for example. no distant
relation; that cotton manufacturers
nearly trebled, that wool manufactur-
ers quadrupled, that leather far more
than doubled, that steel manufactures
as whole rose from S1S4. 4.OO0. 900 to
$777.OOO,OO0--all these show what the
war has done to put this country In

was postponed on account of the hike
planend for that day.
The Hike.
About o'clock in the afternoon
the Scouts fell in line, everybody with
his pack of provisions on his back
ready for the hike.
After reading the rules regarding
the hike the Scout Master led the
way down Mill street as far as the
creek, then turned and went up the
stream for about half a mile, where
we stopped and cooked supper. Af-
ter we had gathered plenty of fuel
the Scout Master gave instructions in
the art of building fire. In short
time the odor of ham, salmon, eggs,
ETC., filled the air. AS every one
knows, there are and always will be
many sad experiences for the boy who
tries to cook his first meal. This was
particularly true of one Scout, who,
having built up his fire with small oak
limbs and put his skillet of salmon on
top of this. When the limbs had
burned in two, his skillet tumbled
down and wasted about half of his
precious salmon. However, those
who got their meal successfully cook
ed shared with those who were not so
fortunate and as soon as we had eaten
as much as we could, all fires were put
out and we began our journey home.
After we had disbanded everyone de-
clared he had had a fine time.
