10Th CENTURY FRENcHMEN
Begin to Realize Where North Ameri-
can Indians Begin to Hunt
Far Fond

II. p Dawson, Chairman OF the Red
Cross War Council, announces the re-
ceipt ofsthe following cable from the
Red Cross Commission to France:
along the desolate path of ruin
behind the French and British lines
from Belgium to Switzerland, the
American Red Cross work for relief
and economic rehabilitation under
Edward Eyre Hunt, Chief of the Blu
reau, has rapidly taken shape. Re-
turning refugees and repatriates have
earth under them and sky over them
that is all The land has been
swept clean.
"The Twentieth Century French
men have to begin again where North
American Indians would begin-by
hunting for food, temporary shelter,
a few clothes to cover them, hand
full of household goods and utensils
such as pots, pans, knives and spoons,
an agricultural implement or two and
perhaps a rabbit and some chickens,
and, if they are very lucky, a goat or
a donkey.
ut is to help such people as these
that the American Red Cross has To-
Gated its relief warehouses at
strategic points Just behind the lines,
such as scissors, Noyon, Ham and
Peronne, and is shipping in food,
clothes, blankets, beds, mattresses,
stoves, kitchen utensils, reapers and
binders. moving machines, threshing
machines, garden-tools and hundreds
of other articles of prime Importance
TO people who were prosperous and
contented only three years ago. The
service of relief and economic re-
Mobilization has divided its field into
six districts.
"One for the extreme north and
Pas de Calain; one for the Somme;
one for the Disc; one for the Aisne;
one for the Marine and Meuse; one
for Meurth and Mosell.
Resident American delegates have
been assigned to these whose duties
are to oversee distribution of relief,
to report new needs, and to cooper
ate in every possible way with the
admirable relief work of the French
Government and scores of devoted
French and other organizations

when aAdsn were Modest Appeals.

A hundred years ago the modest
appeal" rather than the beating of
the big drum" was everywhere re-
garded as the acme of good advertise
ment, says The Christian Science
Monitor. So james Platford, in issu-
ing at that time an invitation to an
and sundry, through the columns Of
Cowboys Manchester Gazette, In Eng
land, to visit his Flora Gardens, would
rather do anything than overstate his
case.
Deeply impressed with gratitude for
the many favors conferred on him, he
begs leave to inform his numerous
friends and the public generally that
the above garden is now open for the
entertainment of those who win favor
him with their company. He has also
to inform them that a very respectable
band of music viii perform every
Thursday evening, when the admission
viii be one shilling each.

y HRISTMAS is the apothe0sis OF
enfeeblement. 1t is the exaltation
of childhood 1t Is the glory OF
the little child.
We celebrate this festival In bleak
December, the uncrowned month In our
northern zone, lighting its dull skies by
the eternal fires Of love in human
hearts.
There is not in all this land home
where the rain beats through the roof,
where the mother and father gather
the children more closely to shelter
them, but the Christmas truth is shin
ing, BLESSED are the poor"
Those is not a homeless boy who in
the December night creeps out of the
snow into an empty dry goods box In
the alley, not little fellow up under
the rafters of the poor house on the
county farm, not founding left in
basket at the rich mans door, not a
shivering, tiny girl untitled for a fight
with the storm, but the new truth OF
the Christmas spreads its wings over
them.
"Wlfen l am weak, then am strong
Who is weak? Who Is infirm upon his
feet and walks with a crutch? Who Is
afraid of the northeast wind? Who
says: II am better; yes, think am
getting better. But somehow l do not
get my vigor back?" Who leans up
against the bale of goods in the half
hidden counter and knows that she
came back to work too soon? Who
was born blind?

meaning There never was conqueror

Protect Texas Angora

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The Demo-
cratic goat was led out on the floor of the
House today and torn to pieces by Repre-
sentative J. Hampton Moore, of Philadel-
phia, Likewise. the Virginia peanut was
attacked
In an attempt to prove that the pending
revenue bill had been drawn so as to make
the North pay the additional taxes, Repre-
sentative Moore referred to Representative
Claude kitchin, of North Carolina, father
of the measure as the great deficiency

Kitchin in his remarkable vocal perora-

bill to the House.
Calling attention TO the manner in which
kitchin Democratic leader, has fought a

REPRESENTATIVE Moore said that because
of the war in Europe there is great demand
for condensed milk, but American manufac-

Moore but the American manufacturer is
forced TO pay duty, not only on the sugar
he uses in manufacturing the product but
on the can 1t is put in and even on the

Representative Moore argued that the
Industrial tax hits the employees, as well as

COLLINGSWOOD STIRRED
BY OUSTING OF PASTOR
Call on Rev. DR.. j. N. Mcdowell,
of Presbyterian Church, to Re-
sign Arouses Protest

colingswood is stirred by. the compul-
sorry resignation of the Rev. DIR. j. n.
Mcdowell pastor of the Presbyterian
Church.
If the general opinion of the community
and the words OF, sympathy received by the
clergyman today are any criterion there
may be further developments in the case.
A commission appointed by the West Jer-
: sey Presbytery decided at a meeting last
night to ask the minister to resign. He
abided by their request.
No reason was given for the enforced
resignation of the pastor, but friends of
the clergymen believe that borough politics
Is at the root of the trouble Others be-
leve that a sermon delivered some time
ago In which he denounced gambling at a
fair given by the fire company may have
aroused feeling against him.
.'se Doctor Mcdowell said. however he did
--Aet -Ssiisve that politics had anything to do
with the commissions action. He said it
was possible that he might have been a
little too conservative for the people He
expressed the hope that there would not be
any factional fight and said he did not want
any sympathy.
The Rev. DR.. Samuel d. Price. chairman
Of the commission which decided on sever
ance of the pastors relations with the
church. said today over the telephone that
Doctor Mcdowell was "a gentleman of fine
personality. ability and man of splendid
type"
Such being the case ne was asked why
the commission decided to dispense with
his services
At this Doctor Price became somewhat
evasve and endeavored to explain the
situation by comparison Haven't you ever
courted a young lady" he said. "and then
ma N nd ha for
you and turned your attention elsewhere?
Would that signify that anything was
wrong with the girl?'
Doctor Price declined to become more
definite. Next Sunday he said, formal an
nouncement of the commissions action will
be made. At that time II will be stated
that no charge of personal nature was
made against Doctor Mcdowell. The date
of the dissolution of the pastoral rela-
tion will be determined by both parties
Doctor Mcdowell will preach at the church,
h is said, until he gets another charge.
Numerous friends Of Doctor Mcdowell
called at his home. 635 Lnwood avenue. and
expressed their regret at the commissions
action.
Mrs Mcdowell is heartbroken over the
decision made by the commission. Il have
no Idea why my husbands resignation was
requested she said ''he was a devoted
and sincere worker but there is nothing
left to do but abide by the decision A
min ster these days has to labor hard to
please his congregation. 1t had always been

minister, but think views in this con-
nection will now be changed"
Mrs. Mcdowell was formerly Miss Clara
II. Anthony. She sang in the choir of the
Methodist Episcopal church when Doctor
mcdowell met her four years ago at the
outset Of his pastorate.
