Premier George Urges
Reign Of World Peace

London, Nov. 14.-"One of the
pricipal issues at the forthcoming
general election will be the nature
of the peace settlement. 1t will mean
the settlement of the world" Pre-
mier Lloyd George made this an
nouncement in an address to his Lib
eral supporters on November IL.
What are the principles on which
that settlement IS TO be effected" he
asked. Are we to lapse back into
the old national rivalries, animosities
and competitive armaments, or are
we to initiate the reign on earth of
the Prince of Peace? 1t Is the duty
of liberalism TO use its influence to
insure that it shall be a reign of
peace.
What are conditions of peace? ?
They must lead to settlement which
will be fundamentally just. No set
tlement that contravenes the prin-
ciples of eternal justice will be per-
manent one. The peace of 1871 inn
posed by Germany on France out
RACED all the principles of justice
and fair play. lie us be warned by
that example"

May Send Christmas Parcels
to War Workers Overseas

Provision has just been made by
government officials for sending of
Christmas parcels to workers in the
various organizations doing relief
work at the front, such as the Red
Cross, Y. NJ. c. A, K. of c.. Salvation
Army. and similar organizations with
the army or navy abroad. Parcels
may also be sent to individuals serv-
ing in the armies of any Allied coun-
try. Packages so shipped must con-
form in size and contents to the regu-
lations issued governing the send
ing of parcels to men with the Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces abroad.
No labels have been issued to these
people abroad, but they can be Sc
cured by relatives here by applying
to the local chapter of the Red Cross.
In order that the number of pack
ages may not be so great as to con-
gest the transportation facilities.
only the nearest relative is allowed
the privilege. Mrs. Nell is in charge
of the parcels committee and full in
formation can be secured from her
at any time before Monday evening,
when all packages must be at the
Red Cross rooms for inspection.

ENDLESS TELEPHONE CHAIN
AID IN WAR WORK DRIVE
Impossible TO Estimate Number of Pledges Received by
Novel Method Adopted by the w. C. A.

Several hundred persons in Har-
risburg sat up all night trying to
estimate through the choice and
chance division of mathematics Just
how many pledges to the United War
Work Campaign Fund have been
made through fertile idea of some
thoughtful-minded members of the
local Y. w. C. A.
The scheme provides for each per-
son who receives a telephone call
from q friend asking for his or her
support of the United War Work
Fund to call up seven other friends
and ask the same support, who in
turn will call seven others. And so
the pledges of support when the COL
lector calls multiply sevenfold, by
sevenfold, and perhaps you can esti-
mate the possible pledges gained in
a day through this means.
The whole thing is reported to
have begun yesterday in this way:
Mrs. William jennings. chairman of
the Home Service Division of the
local chapter, is said to have re-

WAR WORK DRIVE
FALLING BEHIND
Residents Are Offering All
Kinds of Ridiculous
Excuses

With about fourth of the reports
from solicitors received this noon,
only about four thousand dollars in
cash and pledges have been received.
This means that If Steelton is to raise
it's quota of $4,000 for the United
War Fund drive great effort must be
put forth in the remaining time, and
that many of the people who have
refused payment on pretexts of vari-
Gus kinds must make good. Solicitors
report excuses such as: Living too
high; Cant afford it," Must pay
on Liberty Bonds" and excuses of a
similar nature. The trouble is that
they are plainly excuses and not rea-
sons. The high cost of living affects
all and not only few; all have pur-
chased Liberty Bonds, and they are
an investment not a matter of CIV
ing freely such as this. 1t seems a
hard matter for people to realize
that the money is needed even though
Germany has been defeated. APP
parently it has never entered the
minds of some that our soldiers must
remain abroad for some time to
come. and while they are abroad
there is really more need for the Y.
NJ. C. A., knights of Columbus and
the other organizations now than
there was during the time of hos
tility.
The meeting of solicitors, which
was called for tonight in Freys hall,
has been changed to the High school
Auditorium, at which meeting fol-
low-up committees will probably be
appointed.

in front of a garage there. 1t APP
pears that the thieves stalled the au-

NEWS OF STEELTON
Red Cross to Elect Officers
Next Wednesday Evening

Steelton chapter of the American
Red Cross will hold it's annual meet
ing next Wednesday evening at s
o'clock at the chapter headquarters,
112 Harrisburg street, for the cleo
tion of an executive committee for
the coming year. Reports of the
years work will be received, and
such other business will be transact
ed as may properly come before the
annual meeting. The officers are
urging a full attendance of all the
members of the chapter.
A telegram from the state head
quarters showing the need of keep
ing up the Red Cross work has been
received by the local chapter. The
message follows:
"A telegram just received from
national headquarters directs me to
advise chapters that all production
activities must be continued with
the single exception of production of
surgical dressings, work on which
should be Immediately stopped. This
does not apply to those chapters
working on the United States Army
dressings, which include front line
parcels numbers two and three,
pneumonia Jacket and weigh bags,
and all dressings covered by our
allotment order number one hun
dred and seven, dated October third.
These Army dressings should be
completed without delay. You are
instructed to hold until further no
tice all unfinished supplies of surgi-
ca dressings except Army orders.
There are in our storehouses in
INran he
pie supplies Of surgical dressings to
meet any contingency which may
arise.
The calls from our commissions
in many parts of the world have
shown the unlimited need for civil
lian relief. You are therefore ini
structed and urged to finish at once
all uncompleted orders for refugee
garments so as to be prepared for
additional orders. With the near
approach of winter, one garment now
will be of infinitely greater service
in saving life than garments three
or four months later.
I'VE appreciate that to increase
this production Of refugee garments
will necessitate the diversion of sur
gical dressings workers to this diff
ferent field of activity. Red Cross
workers have never failed to meet
any emergency and we feel sure that
there will be no difficulty whatever
in enlisting their sympathetic and
active support in the work to which
the Red Cross is committed.
Carry On
The moment is now come to pre-
pare for Peace. But even with peace.
let no one suppose that the work
of the Red Cross is finished. Owing
to the shortage of shipping it may
take a year or more to bring our
boys home from France. Let every
Red Cross member and worker show
our returned soldiers and sailors
that to care for their health. well
fare and happiness. we are enlisted
with them to the end.
ION behalf of the Red Cross War
Council, we accordingly ask each
member of our splendid body of
workers throughout the land to
bear in mind the solemn obligation
which rests upon each one to carry
on. We cannot abate one instant in
our efforts or in our spirit. There
will be an abundance OF work to do,
and specific advices will be given.
but even at the moment of peace let
no Red Cross worker falter."

But laugh at danger
For know h es safe at last;
Thanks to his guardian angel,

Preserved him from disaster

For the brave boys there;
For the boys who fight for freedom,
For the boys who do and dare
And for Walter, bless his heart!

Well paint the old town red.
