The Stacker

It first observed in the time of Napoleon that General Winter on the side of the Russians powerful than any or all the armies of the czar That not the first time he had served the Rus sians. He had been with them in the of Charles XII and Peter the Great; he had been with them in almost every war But in the present war, while the Russians war; he has not done very much for them
 Every winter until the present one there has seen greater activity the eastern front than any other. But General Winter has seemed to be in sym pathy with the Germans He betrayed the Russians at the Mazurian Lakes, and elsewhere, he withheld from them expected support in critical periods.
 His partality for the Teutons is manifested in his operations lack of operations the Italian Alps The hard pressed Italians had hoped, and had to expect that his would bring them surcease from their efforts in repelng the invader; that he would afford breathing spell in which they could provide against the threatened avalanche of next spring .t
 But climatic conditions in the Alps in that part of the Alps through which the Teutons struggling unusual, almost unprecedented. As winters are known there, there is winter at all now. The Italians must depend upon themselves such forces as the French and British send to their assist snce, to hold back the invader.

ENGLISH WAR GIRLS
 REMAIN FEMININE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Dec. 26.-English war girls apparently have been unable to forget that they still are feminine. There is some criticism that beauty parlors are flourishing where none eX- isted before the war and that strong girls are manicuring, making face creams instead of munitions, and way ing hair instead of milking cows
 Chemists who carried few "beauti- fiers" before the war now find them one of their chief sources of income. Many have added hair waving salons and manicuring parlors to their estab- lishments. The case is related of one woman in thit city who started making face creams asld lotions five years ago and was on the verge of bankruptcy when the war began, but who now has a flourishing business.
 In one local government office there are thirty wom Tn of ages varying from eighteen to forty who have just dis covered that whereas none of them made up' in any way before the war all now pay regular visits to the hair dresser and manicurist.

GRACE CHURCH
 CELEBRATION

The Christmas program rendered by Grace English Lutheran Sunday school Christmas evening was enjoyed by large and appreciative audience. The Christmas tree, with its candles and other decorations. presented a beauti- full reminder of the happy season of the year.
 The little people were most happy in the rendition of their songs and stories of the Christchild and they re- ceived most respectful hearing from those present. After the main part of the program was completed the gifts were presented to all the children in the audience, and the pastor and wife were the recipients of a very beautiful electric reading lamp and a casserole.
 Next Sunday evening the choir will give its Christmas cantata, which will be something unusual in this line. The members expect to sing to large audi ence on that occasion.

USE FOUND FUR DUPLICATE TOYS

Did Santa Claus leave any duplicate toys at your house?
 Is the problem of what to do with the three or four Teddy Bears that Bobby got. or the half dozen games that came to Johnny worrying you? If so the solution of your puzzle Is at hand. It was furnished yesterday by Adjutant John J. Shearer of the Salva- tion Army, who asks that all persons who have duplicate toys which they can dispense with turn them over to the Army's Christmas tree.
 Distribution of 800 Christmas stock ings with toys and a Christmas treat is no small task One way to help is to give your duplicate toys, the presents that Santa seems to have doubled on, | to help make the holiday season bright CT for some needy child. All persons who have any toys they can furnish | for the Christmas celebration are asked | to notify the Salvation Army.
