The address of James S.

The newspapers not at fault because of the transformation they disseminated, except insofar they accentuate it in foolish headlines TheIe is still fatuous notion abroad in the land that the American people want good whether it is true not and they getting it.
 Mir Douglas makes it very clear that the war is not going to be short one; that we have nothing to expect from the starvation internal distress of Germany; that in the matter of food and supplies Germany is in better condition than and that the stories of German misery part of German propaganda.
 Many of already knew that but still the folks who make up news, unable learn anything, continue, in semi i-official reports. to aid the propaganda and fool the American people, We were warned against this year ago by the British by Mir. Roger W. Babson, but seem incapable of learn ing anything
 The is to be won. says MT Douglas only by long hard knocks by ability to crush the German armies; crush the spirit of the German people until their armies have been destroyed To destroy them must have a great superiority of an-power We have now not nearly half enough power.
 If the people better understood this if all the people understood it well the 150O who heard MT. Douglas, there would be tightening of the American belt and stiffenng of American determn- alton which will never come to us with stories of magnificent victories and peasurabe prognosticatons.

The advisory committee of the Ma tional Council of Defense at Washing ton. with the endorsement of the wom- ans committee. has sent out instruc- tions to the various state councils ad- vising them to notify all merchants and manufacturers as to the national councils policy of Christmas gift buy, ing and manufacturing.
 With the idea of reducing the num- Der of holiday gifts in the interests of | thrift and economy and also that q large number of persons engaged in | the manufacture of such articles as are used mostly for the holiday trade may be released to other more essential oc- equations, a nation. .wide publicity campaign will be started shortly Chambers of commerce, boards of trade and other commercial organiza- tions will be asked to assist in this war measure
 In this connection the National Coun- cil of Defense has issued the following statement:
 The Council of National Defense and Advisory commission have re- ceived inquiries as to the attitude Of the government toward Christmas buying. Manufacturers and merchants are desirous to be advised at this time in order intelligently to plan for their lChristmas stocks. Therefore, the coun- cil and advisory commission now an- nounce that it is their belief that Christmas giving which involves the purchase of gifts should be discour- Iaged as relieving to that extent the lpresent heavy burden placed upon la bor. transportation and other resources of the nation, and also as being in har- mo~" with the previous announcement of the Council and advisory commis- sion urging thrift and economy upon the country"
