the war ministry and holds the premier to an open accounting for muddling up the war moves. He still says that he is the friend of his protege, but personal friendship does not count to the extent of covering up blunders. He wants re- suits.
 If he were simply playing politics, he would assume a certain degree of responsible ity for his friends alleged fail ures and wield the whitewash brush to excellent advantage. Also, he might be moved to join the war cabinet and by sitting close by the prime min ister's side, steer him clear of pitfalls in the future. But that is not Northcliffe s style. He prefers to paddle his own can oe and he wants the other fel- low to paddle his. Moreover, he believes in pitiless publicity and he puts 1t into practice. Censorship has no terrors for him; neither does he tremble in the presence of the insolence of office. He bends his knee to no dignitary and does not turn aside for time-honored tradition. Princes and prime ministers are only spokes in the wheel in his scheme of things, and when they have served their purpose he would uneeremoniously set them aside. This is the people $ war, as he sees it, and he be- ieves in keeping them in formed.
 Northcliffe is essentially a man after our own heart. He appeals to Americans as does no other Englishman of his generation. He understands our ways and his utter fear lessness and frankness inspire confidence. Our leaders. will do well to pattern after him. So far, he has seen fit to sim ply compliment our attitude and activities. But between the lines of his stirring criti- cism of his own country $ course we think that We can read much that applies to us Perhaps not; but he has given Us something to think about.

GERMANY |S NOW CONSERVING
 CLOTHING
(By Associated Press)


 BERNIE, Switzerland, Dec. 6.-To conserve the diminishing supply of clothing in Germany the German government has imposed regulations requiring that, for all articles of lin- en or personal wear to be purchased, three similar worn articles must be returned. This increases the scope aigor of the clothing cards introduc- ed less than year ago.
 The regulation applies to cotton stockings, gloves, collars, table lin sn and cloth materials for various household purposes. For every suit or overcoat too we'll worn or one in good condition must be surrendered The only articles of ordinary wear or use that are exempted from card reg ulation are wooden shoes and silk things.
 More than year ago there was much talk in Germany of reducing the consumption of cloth by inducing pa triotic minded women to return to the old but fashionable tight skirt. The maximum quantity of material in me ters, which should be used for a dress was even stipulated. The economy was not successfully accomplished however, for the German women. though they shortened their skirts appreciably, wore them wide and full
 Now therefore, there is pending a rigid specification limiting the num- Der of yards of cloth which may be devoted to any garment of given pro portions-depending upon the size of the prospective wearer And if the wearer needs linen and othe gar ments than outer clothes, she must turn in three corresponding, worn-out pieces of lingerie.
 The strict rules and regulations that are growing stricter each month have led naturally to an increased amount of deception and .coufalass attempts by those who possess stocks of clothing to evade the card system by selling at abnormally high prices to those who cannot procure cards. The latest reports from Berlin tell of the arrest of woman who was found to have cancelled a stock of 1500 dog en pairs of stockings, These she was peddling in little cafes and resorts where there was minimum danger of her discovery and at utterly dispro- portionate prices.

ANCHORAGE NOW WANTS
 %. INTERIOR MAIL ROUTE

At a meeting of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce recently it was agreed to take every available means to divert the mail route from. the Fairbanks trail to the government railroad. In view of the fact that mail could be in Fairbanks via Cor dova or Valdez before it would reach Anchorage, it is not believed that there is much danger of any change.

NORTHCLIFFE'S NERVE.

Whatever else may be said about the intrepid English publicist and patriot, it can not be charge that he lacks the courage of his convictions and the daring to express them. Lord Northcliffe is not given to indirection, either in word or deed. He goes straight to the point. He has the rare faculty of hewing to the line, regardless of where the chips fall. When he has something to say, he says it, He will not sacrifice a truth to save a friend. The winning of the war has become a strictly i'm personal matter with him In the face of the grave danger tn. ie confronting his country and her allies-dangers such as no living man comprehends more clearly than he-all per sonal friends and foes look alike to him. So has he raised
 himself above the level of pet ty politics and international prejudices until he stands out today, a superb international statesman-the highest type that the war has yet developed.
 And so it was not surprising that he should speak his mind
 plainly to Lloyd George con
 corning the shortcomings of
 the prosecution of Britain s
 war program. The prime min ister is his personal friends. He, more than any other man, was responsible for the rise of the present regime. To accom- plish this, he shook staid old England until she shivered. That was just a short year ago. His enemies charged him with seeking to Wreak vengeance upon the war ministry for cen soring his publications. He was also charged with playing politics. Their opposition did not deter him a particle. He dared the British lion in his den and cowed him into sub mitting to his war program. Then he handed the reiens of government ever to Lloyd George. Now he refuses point blank to associate himself with

SALIENT FEATURES OF
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Remarkable Document on War Issues
Issues Sent Broadcast Through
out The World

The following are some of the sa-
lient features OF the Presidents mes
sage. wonderful document sent
broadcast to the world.
The intolerable wrongs done and
planned against US by the sinister
masters OF Germany have long since
become too grossly obvious and
odious to every true American TO
need TO be rehearsed.
l hear the voices Of dissent; who does
not? hear the criticism and the
clamor Of the noisy, thoughtless and
troublesome. But / know that
none OF these speaks for the nation
They may safely be left to strut
their uneasy hour and be forgotten
This intolerable Thing of which the
masters OF Germany have shown us
the ugly face must be crushed,
and, if it be not utterly brought to
an end, at least shut out from the
friendly intercourse of the nations
We shall at last be free to do an un-
precedented thing to base
peace on generosity and justice, to
the exclusion of all selfish claims
to advantage even on the part of the
victors.
We shall regard the war as won only
when the German people say to us,
through properly accredited repre-
sentatives, that they are ready t.
agree to q settlement based upon
justice and the reparation of the
wrongs their rulers have done.
The wrongs, the very deep wrongs,
committed in this war will have to
be righted That, of course. But
they cannot and must not be right
ed by the commission of similar
wrongs against Germany and her
allies.
The thought of the plain people here
and everywhere throughout the
world is the air all govern
ments must henceforth breathe if
they would live.
Recent experience has convinced me
that the Congress must go further
in authorizing the government to
set limits to prices. The law of
supply and demand, | am sorry to
say, has been replaced by the law
OF unrestrained selfishness.
The hand of God is laid upon the ma
tions He will show them favor,
deyoutly believe. only if they rise
to the clear heights of His own
justice.

A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT
Bow scouts 10 Have AnOther Day


II is a great disappointment to the
committee in charge of the Christmas
seals that more was not gotten when
the Scouts sold them last Saturday,
and it has been discovered that, ow-
ing to the fact that SO few boys were
able TO take part in the drive, some
parts Of the town were not covered
The boys will endeayor 10 visit this
section in the next few afternoons,
and It is hoped that the necessary in
crease OF the sum already obtained
may be procured then. But it is inn
perative that good size sum be OBJ
tanned to keep the district nurse, and
the committee has decided that the
stamps shall be put on sale in the
most Office from Saturday and sold
there for one or two weeks. as may
seem best, when il is found out how
well they are doing.
VIII the merchants on Main street,
Conduit street and the people living
in that section, and on Gloucester

on them, and if they miss them buy
them at the bank.
