Christmas Shopping

tation and delivery facilities necessarily
involved in the large volume of Christ
mas purchases,
At conference between officials of the
Council of National Defense and repre-
sentatives Of the retail merchants of the
country, the merchants entered into the
following agreement:
l. Not to increase their working force
by reason OF the Holiday Business, over
the average force employed by them
Throughout the year and not to increase
the normal working hours of their force
during the Christmas season.
2. To devote a certain part of their
advertising space from now on to the
following purposes

What the Y. w. C. A. Does

The Immediate protection and assis-
tance of women and girls effected by
the war is the task undertaken by
the Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton. All the resources of the society,
its fifty years experience with girls and
the cooperation of more than a
thousand Associations from the Atlantic
to the Pacific are directed toward this
end.
The general lines followed in this
emergency work are Hostess Houses
in the camps, emergency housing for
employed girls, foreign community work
among women who cannot speak English
work in colored communities effected by
the war, and extended recreational
work among girls in the vicinity of the
environments.
Five hundred and eight-one associa-
ton workers are, employed on war work
in the United States. There are social
workers, both white and colored, club
and recreation leaders, physical directors,
detitians, business women, household
and employment experts, edlcationahsts,
and physicians Association members
now number 361, ,32O.
From the beginning the War Work
Council planned to include not only
American women effected by the war, but
because of the pleas from France and
Russia, the first budget contained an
item for work in Europe. Administra-
tive industrial and recreational secre-
taries were sent to place their experience
at the disposal Of the Russian women.
In France the activities have fallen into
general dlvisions-social work among
American war relief workers and CO.
operation with French women in work
for their own people. The object, in
France as in Russia, is to cooperate
with the women of these countries devel-
oping such phases Of social service for
women as will meet war conditions and
at the same time become permanent
foundations for future work.

Island Pond, VT, Oct IL, 1918.
To The Editor of Herald:
In my article of October Sth, if
there was any conclusion that | in
tended to cast reflections upon the
Red Cross, such is not the proper
influence. | do know that deaths
have taken place in two or three
instances through neglect, but |
am informed that the Red Cross
has been worked to the limit, that
every available source has been can
vassed for nurses and that nothing
has been left undone within human
possibility, to provide care. The
unfortunate deaths from lack of
care may have been due to the fail
ure of the public at large to respond
property to requests for service.
This is probably the worst epidemic
that has visited Vermont in 25 years.
1t has carried many strong and
healthy persons to premature death.
The whole country was shocked, not
to say surprised, at its virulence;
but happily conditions are greatly
improving. and the fatalities here
have been much loss in proLor-
ton to population than in other
sections of the state. .,
To save life, everyone should work

American Sol oldiers Forbidden to
Do Public Speaking

From several parts Of the country
have come reports Of speakers who claim
to be British or Canadian soldiers, or
American soldiers returned from France
and who are charging admission or
soliciting voluntary contributions. In
some cases these speakers apply to the
Committee Of Public Safety for endorse
ment,
The British Bureau of Information,
5l1 Fifth Ave, New York City, informs
us that there is small although con-
stantly changing, list of men who are
allowed by the British and Canadian
authorities to lecture in uniform. Any
person who is not on this approved
list and lectures in uniform can be
arrested by the United States police
under the United States law
The British Bureau Of Information
would like to be informed of any doubt
full cases which come to your knowledge,
We suggest that if you will wire or
write this Committee about such cases,
we will take them up with the British
Bureau Of Information. If the British
Bureau Of Information finds that the
lecturer is not authorized to lecture for
money, it will send a statement to that
effect to the State Council
The British Bureau of Information
is also desirous to receive complaints
about British or Canadian soldiers who
are making Objectionable statements.
Speakers who represent themselves as
being American officers or soldiers but
appear to be imposters, should be re-
ported to the nearest office of the Depart
ment Of Justice, which will follow up the
case.
At the present time American officers
and soldiers are forbidden to do any
public speaking. If, therefore, Ameri-
can officers and soldiers are found
violating this rule, please report to the
Military Intelligence Division, War
Department, Washington, D. c., the
names of such speakers the place where
the speech was delivered, the nature
of the talk, and under whose authority
the speaker claimed the right to lecture.
The Vermont Committee of Public
Safety earnestly request the members Of
the District Committee to give the above
notice due publicity.
