have stood high in the councils OF
their respective countries, while the
men who are to handle Russia's inter-

NO CHRISTMAS TREE FOR
HOTEL TULSA THIS YEAR
Money Usually Spent for This Pur-
pose 10 Be Used In Feed
ing the Poor.

Appreciative of the fact that the
money usually spent in erecting, deco
rating and maintaining a Christmas
tree for its guests and patrons could
better be spent in filling the stock
ings of some poor child with goodies
or the larder of some needy family
with flour and meat. the manage
ment of Hotel Tulsa this year has
abandoned the idea of. having n
Christmas tree in the lobby.
This was the announcement of
Manager James yesterday, who de-
clared that the money usually spent
in this method of showing favors 10
its guests and patrons would be di-
verted to the fund of the Humane
society to be used by that organi2a-
tion.
I'VE believe" declared Mr.. James,
that the money that we usually
spend on our Christmas tree and gifts
should go to the poor who really
need il.
IVA think that the guests will ap-
prec.ate the fact that the gift thar
they were to receive will go to the
poor and with it will go their best
