DIRECTIONS FOR CHRISTMAS
BOXES 70 SOLDIERS

I Many inquiries are coming to the
Denison chapter of the Red Cross CON
corning Christmas boxes to be sent
the soldiers overseas by relatives and
friends. The boxes for packing have
not arrived yet but will be here soon
Following are the principal regula'
lions governing the sending of Christ
mas boxes to the boys this year as is
sued by the general bureau.
We have a sample box at the pres,
ent time. 1t measures 9x4X3 inches.
They will be given to those persons
holding Christmas label which are
being sent out now by General Perish
ing's order, one to each man who will
mail the label home tor the one person
whom they wish to send the parcel.
All parcels must be in our hands ready
for transmission not later than Novenl.
Der 18th. Details for handling this
matter at a later date may be given.
The following rules should be borne
in mind when considering what ar
ticles should be put in packages and
nothing should be included that is pro.
hibited from the mails.
Bear these facts in mind when pack
ing your Christmas packages:
Nothing should go into Christmas
packet which will not keep fresh from
the time of packing until Christmas.
Dried fruits and other food prod
ucts should be packed in small tin or
wooden boxes one-quarter and one-half
pound size.
Hard candy, including chocolate,
would probably be safe in tin foil or
heavy cardboard but no soft chocolate
nor anything that could possibly be
crushed should be used as the remain
ing contents OF the package might be
spoiled.
Several dainties packed in oblong
boxes holding each quarter pound
will provide a better variety for a
packet than a larger quantity of a
single confection: ~,
No liquids or articles packed in
glass should be placed in the package.
For wrapping the gifts. use a khaki
colored handkerchief, twenty-seven
inches square. g..
No notes or messages can be sent
as this is contrary to postal regula-
lions. .-.

TO The People OF Tennessee.

A careful investigation by this If
fee reveals the fact that one Of the
reasons for the scarcity Of gasoline
in Tennessee is that people to whom
gasoline is shipped in iron barrels are
not taking prompt steps to return
the barrels, which the present war
situation renders necessary.
Therefore, ! strongly urge my peo-
pie to Immediately empty the iron bar
rels and return them promptly to
their owners. By doing this you will
greatly improve the gasoline situa-
ion, and will be helping the move
nent Of badly needed gasoline to our
troops in Europe.
Get busy. start the barrels rolling.

The peace proposals of Austria
Hungary submitted to the Allied
powers smacks of either the fool
or the knave. They propose to
meet and talk it over, and moth
ing to be binding. It simply
means to cater to a sentiment be-
tween individuals having a mis-
understanding to meet and talk
it over" This is a war to the
hilt. President Lincoln said to
the Confederates: Zone thing
must be settled before will agree
to any conferences that the
Union must be preserved" So
we must say to Germany. The
military autocracy Of Germany
must be finally and forever alb
olished. With that agreed to as a
basic proposition, the Allies might
agree to talk the other matters
over. They make no such prop.
osition. Therefore, like the civil
war, a fight to an unconditional
surrender must 60 on: Not one
Of the Allies will for a moment
agree to the filmy peace PROPOSE
ton of Austria. Now when we
can clearly see a final and sweep
ing victory, no one need be sur
nrised at a cry for peace. We
have spent too much money and
blood to ever agree to anything
they might suggest. The enemy
win have to take the terms that
Allies make, and that at the cap
itol Of a government that has for
feited all claims for mercy.
