BY GORGE e. BOWEN
of the Viuilantes,

In the main, it cannot be said OF
America that she is without her Amer
leans or that the faith and service Of
the mass is un-American in spirit.
Dollars do not always so with de-
mocracy, but when informed. inspired
and enlisted they can be mighty useful
to 1t.
There has been a mistaken Idea In
certain sections of America that dol
spelled "aristocracy."
They don't. That is an imported
idea. And that ii is perlshing in the
land Of its origin, witness the war and
the CONSERVATION Of the few arsto-
Gratis. both external and inbred.
There have been, possibly are, q
few external aristocrats in America,
who. in moment of excessive vanity
measured their social Importance by
the size of their material fortunes.
The war erased that absurd notion.
almost with the first blare Of the
trumpet.
Millionaire Prlvates In Ranks.
There are millionaire privates In the

who have renowned all the prestige

Men are more than money. The outer
veneer has been quickly shed. The

What he thought was his pride. In
days OF social and financial triumph.
he finds was but cheap and trivial
plaything. Now, his renl pride Is
thing of purpose, power and dignity.

u. S. Senator Knox
Condemns the President

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 2.-There
is strong opposition at the Capitol
to the Presidents plan for going to
Europe. Virtually all the Republican
members and many Democratic mem
bers look with disfavor on the pro-
ject of the President going out of the
country for six weeks during the sit
ting of Congress at such an import
ant time.
Many Senators are especially dis
pleased because the President has ig-
nored the Senate in the formation of
the American Peace Delegation. Sem
ator Knox, who has served as Secre-
tary OF State and Attorney General
contemplates making a speech in
which he will condemn the President
for leaving the Senate without rep
resentation on the Peace Commis-
sion. Senator Knox has gone over
records and plans to show that the
Senate should be recognized as part
of the treaty making power of the
nation under the Constitution, and
that it should be represented.

do themselves in their observance of
Christmas.
Task Easier
\ The lifting of restrictions on mer-
chants and merchandise with the
ending of the war, have made the
task of Christmas shopping easy for
patrons 0Td merchants. The ban
on many articles much desired by
the shoppers, but hitherto tabooed
because of their being inessential to
the WiEniEs of the war, has been
lifted, and householders find almost
normal condition under which to do
their shopping.
Merchants are gratified over the
apparent willingness of the con-
sumers to do their Christmas
shopping early" Thousands of
article" for Christmas use, which in
former years would have been pur-
chased at the last minute of bust
ness before Christmas, and being
purchased in local stores every day
The campaign of publicity waged
by various branches of the federal
war government, has instilled u
knogledEe of the sdvisability of
early Christmas shopping every
where, and it is readily apparent in
the increased volume OF buying be-
ing done u month before Christmas.
Shopping Earlier
While the armistice has been
signed and employers of labor are
looking forward to a relief in the
labor market, the early shopping
this year has been, and merchants
expect will continue to be, highly
instrumental in solving the labor
problem. With extra clerks and de-
livery labor hard to secure, it is
hoped that the early shopping will
continue to such an extent that the
usual great rush of orders will be
eliminated at the last minute, and
the usual necessity for a great num-
Der of extra clerks and help, will be
eliminated this year.
Merchants report that in spite OF
the limited closing hours, which
confines their business to the hours
between and $40 o'clock and 9
until o'clock on Saturdays, neces-
sary because of the necessity for
fuel conservation, the receipts from
business transacted daily are larger
than corresponding days of previous
years.
Business men are unanimous in
their opinion TIT the commercial
and labor markets show unusual
stability, as is evidenced by the
volume of safes and satisfactory re-
ceipts their books show for the first
few weeks of holiday buying.

REEFS IN BATTLE ZONE

Poplar BIuIs, Mo.-LouIs knott,

from France, tells of being out on a
scouting party in the edges of No
Mans Land when he heard famil-
air sound, yet strange considering
the surroundings 1t was a beehive
full of working bees. He says he
stopped, thought of all the good eats
surrounded by the array of minia-
ture bayonets, and then had a happy
idea. He slipped on his ever-handy
gas mask and proceeded to the at
tack. In a few moments he had ten
pounds of honey. which furnished an
unusual wartime and battlefield
meal.
