 Mars sets two hours and 30 minutes after sunset on December l, and this time Is diminished to two hours and
 eight minutes by December 3l. This planet is also very far below the celestial equator at this time, and 1t Is also so far from the earth that 1t Is in very unfavorable position for observa- ton.
 Jupiter is now very conspicuous object in the eastern heavens, where 1t Is seen slowly retrogra ding in almost tho exact center of the constellation

 may be seen on the nights following December 62, 5, II, 12, IS, 19, 23, 26 and 80.
 Saturn is in the constellation Leo about one degree to the west and north of the bright star Regulus. It hence rises about 10 hours 80 minutes p. m. | on December 1, but so early as eight | hours 80 minutes D. m. on December 21. | Toward midnight this planet is in ex- Icellent position for observation. but its rings are now seen very obliquely, their apparent width being but about one-fifth of their apparent length. Throughout all of the coming year they will grow narrower. until by the end of December, 1919, they will appear to be hut one-twelfth as wide or as long. Throughout this time we will look on the south side of the rings. On De- cem Der 22 at 10 hours 42 minutes a. m. (eastern standard time) the sun will reach its lowest position in the sky and this will therefore be the shortest day of the present year.

URGING ENGLAND AND AMERICA ID
 WORK IN HARMONY
Reconstruction Commission Suggested to Deal With Economic Relations
 of Two Nations

London, November 5.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Business men of the United States are urged by the directors of the American Chamber of Commerce in London to endeavor to in duce the United States Congress prompt ly to create an American reconstruc- tion commission to deal with the eco- homie relations between America and Great Britain. This proposed con1mis- sion, asserts the statement issued by the directors of the American Chamber of Commerce here, should contain strong representation of men of sound experience and judgment in matters of foreign policy and trade and should have authority to proceed to act at once With similar bodies of Great Britain and other countries at war with the central powers.
 The time has come for the business communities of the United States to pre- pare to formulate an after-war policy, says the statement. The American cham ber is prompted to make this recommen- dation because it believes the establish ment of friendly trade relations between English-speaking peoples and the re- rroval of all business distrust and sus- pcion are essential in a successful and permanent league of nations.
 The chamber also points out that the restrictions which have been imposed upon Americas trade with Great Britain. nhave led to the belief in one country that they directly benefit the other. l" This situation, the chamber says. inevit- ably raises the issue with Great Brit ain. Nothing" it adds, would suit Ger many better than to breed discord out of them. Nothing this chamber believes, is more important to the future of the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-12-01

world than good-natured adjustment or these issues between the English-speak- ing peoples
 It is none too soon, says the cnaInoer, for the United States and it's allies to agree upon plan for the equitable dis- position of all raw material so as to re- constitute the stocks depleted by the wastage of war and by the criminal folly of German submarines.
 Another matter urgently calling for joint action is that of dual income tax assessment.'' says the American cham ber,s statement Not only does the pres ent situation work unjustified hardship on individuals of both nauonalities but it also practically prohibits the employment of the capital of one country in the en- terprises of the other, and is thus 8 strong deterrent to all cooperation be- tween them in the work of reconstruc- tion."
 One of the first purposes to be aimed at in the proposed after-war trade re- construction should be the restoration of private initiative and business, says the American chamber. The chamber, however, realizes that government con trol over virtually every form of ac- tivity cannot be relaxed immediately upon the end of the war, but it asserts that the revival of private enterprises Is of supreme importance to the future.

>THE STARRY SKIES IN DECEMBER


With the coming of our months of
 the shortest day, when the sun reaches
 It's lowest position below the celestial
 equator, we see the whole eastern half of the heavens filled with the bright
 stars of winter. It Is true that the beautiful Leo, the last of the winter
 train, has not yet appeared. so that not until next month will the transforma-
 ton of the summer into the winter sky
 be complete, but the very brilliant stars of the Twins, the Bull, and of Orion.
 and the golden Capel1a now shine so lconspicuously in the east that the att tention, even of one who knows little or astronomy, Is attracted to this re- zion of the sky.
 | Low in the east there are also appear ] ing the two beautiful blue Dog stars, iSirius and Procyon, of which the former l is of no less than four times the bright ness of standard first magnitude star and is the brightest true star in the en- l tire heavens. The brilliant, golden planet, Jupiter. which is at present to | the left and above the Dog Star, shines out, however, with twice the brightness | of Sirius. and this is, indeed the most brilliant object now in our winter sky. Toward midnight, when Leo and the planet Saturn have also risen well above the eastern horizon, the whole southern
 and eastern heavens will, indeed, be a ! beautiful and striking sight

SOLDIERS URGED ID {. KEEP UP INSURANCE McAdoo Points Out They Can Maintain It for
 Five Years

Washington, November 3o-As soldiers are demobilzed, effort will be made to Impress on them the desirability of their continuing payments on their govern ment voluntary life insurance, which can be maintained for five years after peace. even though the soldier has returned to civil life. This will be done by insur- ance agencies In the army working to- gether with authorities of the treasury s war risk insurance bureau.
 Secretary McAdoo, in a statement. has urged soldiers to retain their insurance to protect their families and to retain the right to convert this into other forms to be provided by the government. An additional reason. 1t is said. is the treas ury's desire to make of the soldiers and sailors insurance a demonstration that government life insurance is successful. and can be extended.
 T desire to remind all Americas sol- diers and sailors said MT. McAdoo's statement, that 1t is their opportunity and their privilege to keep up their in- surance with the United States govern .ment after tho war has officially ter
 
 turned to civil life.
 "In its present form this insurance Is annual, renewable term insurance at net peace rates. issued against death and total permanent disability. Under the provisions of the war risk insurance act, every person holding this insurance may keep 1t up in this form even after he leaves the service, for q period of five years. All that is necessary Is the reg ,,1.r nc yry1Apt If DF4miumS. later than five years after the termina ton of the war as declared by presi- dential proclamation, the term insurance shall be converted. without medical ex- animation. into such form or forms of fn nsurance as may be prescribed by reg ulations and as the insured may re- quest This insurance will continue to be government insurance.
 ..The advantages of keeping this insur- ance in force cannot be emphasized too a yay4able right given by the govern ment to our fighting men as compen- satton for their services. If this right Is lost by allowing insurance to lapse 1t can never be regained. When govern holder cannot again obtain insurance ex-s cept from private companies at con siderable increase in cost. Moreover. many of tho men may have become un- insurable IS 8 result of the war through physical impairment, and if these allow their insurance to lapse they will lose the last opportunity for their families to have tho protection of life insurance"

FROM ,CZECHO-SL OVAKS
APPEAL IS MADE TO ALLIES
TO GO TO AID OF HARD
PRESSED TROOPS

Nladivostok, Sunday, Oct. 8 (By
The Associated Press)-An appeal
to the allies to avert the loss of Sa-
mara and Yekaterinburg, as well as
to revive the morale OF the Czecho-
Slovak forces fighting in East Rus
sia, has been received here at al
lied headquarters. The situation
there is said to be serious.
Czecho- -Slovak units which have
been fighting at Yekaterinburg, ka-
zan, Simbirsk, Samara and Oren-
burg are imperilled, 10000 bolshe-
vik troops having joined the Ger
mans in opposing the allied forces
in the region.
News comes from Tcheliabinsk
that the Czecho-Slovaks are losing
heavily and retreating along the
northern front.
Along the northern front, Ufa,
which is one of the principal con-
centration points for Czeaho-Slovak
troops, is threatened, and its loss
would be well-nigh fatal to the
Czecho-Slovaks at Sama.a
Discouraging reports are received
from Orenburg, which has been sup
posedly held by Cossacks. German
activities in Astrakhan indicate a
by the enemy through
Turkestan and the exploiting OF vast
quantities of cotton, wheat and min
erals.

cepts contain no specific provision
for any single one of the manifold
crimes, nor do they make any refer
ence to the arraignment of the mas
ter criminals who inspired the or
ganized atrocities
Before President Wilson accepts

upon him, we trust he will see fit to

each and all OF these problems must
be faced"
