PRISONER
IS REPORTED SAFE

McKeesport, Pa. Dec. 3o.-Post-
master Frank McFadden has re-
ceived letter from Robert Snyder,
Of this place, now a prisoner in an
internment camp in Mecklenburg,
Germany. in which he asks the
postmaster to notify his relatives
that he is we'll
Snyder says he was employed on
Il horse transport that was taken
by the Germans while on a return
trip from England in 1916. The
ship was sunk and the crew made
prisoners and taken to Germany.
Snyder assumed the name of
OConnor when he shipped on the
vessel. he says, which accounts for
the failure of the State Department
to find his relatives at that time.
The letter had evidently passed
through the hands of the German
censor without Investigation.

RESOLUTION IS
NOW IN ORDER
DESPITE WAR
Cold Weather and H. c. L
Furnish Suggestions for
Indoor Sport.

The year 1917 seems TO be deter
mined to make itself remembered, and
so it ends up with q cold snap which
nobody will forget soon, even in the
excitement OF entering upon the new
year.
But though the basins all frozen
over and even the gas Is working very
poorly in some quarters. there's one
thing which will flow on forever, like
the weli-known brook. You can't stop
| em-the New Years resolutions.
"Everybody's @ResolutIn'."
Everybody is making them. Just the
same as ever.
Ot course. they come a little higher
this year. like everything else. When
prices were cheaper, Of course. reso-
iutlons came cheaper, too 1t hurts
| Whole lot worse to give up smoking
when smokes have gone up in price.
Everybody is "resolutin." Even
those OF us who don't write 'em out
ana hang EN- up over the bed. are
'resolutin'" Just the same, even IL
we don't tell folks about 1t.
Mars changes the complexion of ey-
lfrS Sth&pg.' ChristInas was SafferSrt
Pthis SearAe~erything had a martial
air about II. the toys and everything
else. And so the New Year will be
, just shade different too.
There will be lots Of resolutions this
year which have never been made
before. In days gone by one was
content with giving up smoking or
"Cussin' or some petty Indulgence
which nobody minded and which the
| 'resoluter' was sure to take up again
in day or so.
But this year 1t seems a bit differ
ent. Doubtless every single soldier
boy who wears the khaki has resolved
to win the war at any cost Unques-
tionably. housewives are resolving to
cooperate in every possible way with
the food administration. Mothers are
resolving to bear with fortitude the
ordeal Of seeing their boys depart to
| fight.
Women Have Mission.
Girls are resolving to do their bit
| Just a little better than they did last
year, and everywhere women are re-
solving to put their shoulders to the
| wheel and bear the burdens of the
| men who have gone to the front
It's thing that happens every year
this ringing in of the new year. But
1t doesn't happen very often that such
year is rung out as 1917 has been.
And probably 1t will not happen soon
again that a year like 1918 will be
rIng in.
It's the same old thing-just another
year. But 1918. somehow. is different.
1t Is greeted by a nation of serious
men and women with A unity OF pur-
pose to make the New Year one which
| Will be remembered as a milestone IN
| progress.
