Russian Peoples Call.

There is. moreover, a voice calling for these definitions of principle and of purpose which is. it seems to me, more thrilling and more compelling than any of the many moving voices with which the troubled air of the world is filled. It is the voice of the Russian people. They are prostrate and all but helpless, it would seem, before the grim power of Germany, which has hitherto known no relent- ing and no pity. Their power, appar- ently is shattered, and yet their soul is not subservient. They will not yield in principle or in action. The conception of what is right, of what is humane and honorable for them to accept, has been stated with a frank ness, largeness of view, generosity of spirit and universal human sym pathy which must challenge the a0- miration Of every friend of mankind, and they have refused to compound their ideals or desert others that they themselves may be safe. They call to us to say what it is we desire, in what if in anything our purpose and our spirit differ from theirs, and I be- live that the people of the United States would wish me to respond with utter simplicity and frankness. Wheth- CT their present leaders believe it or not. t is our heartfelt desire and hope that same way may be opened whereby We may be privileged to as sist the people of Russia to attain their utmost hope of liberty and ord cred peace.
 II will be our wish and purpose that the processes of peace. when they are 1 begun. shall be absolutely open and that they shall involve and permit henceforth no secret understandings of any kind. The day of conquest and aggrandizement is gone by; so is also the day of secret covenants entered into in the interest of particular gov ernment and likely at some unlocked for moment to upset the peace Of the world.
 It is this happy fact, now clear 10 the view of every public man whose Thoughts do not still finger in an age that is dead and gone. which make it possible for every nation whose pur- poses are consistent with justice and the peace of the world 10 avow now or at any other time the objects it has in view
 We entered this war because viola tions of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the fife of our own people impossible un less they were corrected and the world secured once for all against this recurrence.
 What We demand in this war. there, fore, is nothing peculiar to ourselves It is that the world be made fit and safe to live in. and particularly that ii be made safe for every peace loving nation which, like our own, wishes to live it's own life, determine it's owr institutions. be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other people ot the world as against force and selfish aggression. All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest and for our own part we sec very clearly that unless justice can be done to others it will not be done tC us. The program of the worlds peacr therefore, is our program, and that

From the annual report of the secre- tary of the interior:
 Tn this department we have during the past year had glimpse of the ex= banding romance of chemical study. We have found adventure in the search for the hidden secrets of petroleum, natural gas and coal tar, of coal smoke and the refuse from hundred fur naces and SIT okestacks. We appear to have suddenly driven into a chemical age or perhaps 1t would be more ac- curate to say that we have suddenly realized that we are such an age. New explosives, new fertilizers, new sources of power, of food, new materials for construction and destruction, new conservatives of life, and new agencies for the sweetening and wholesoming of life-these are to the credit of the modern chemist, and as by-prOduct of this war we are to have higher ap- preciation of this branch of science, and our genius for discovery which has so greatly been applied to problems of mechanics will find in analytic and synthetic chemistry field of oppor- tunity subject to almost infinite ex- pension."

Christmas mail this year was 25 per cent heavier than ever before, accord ing to the post office department. The congestion was less, however, because the packages were mailed earlier than in former years.
The Monticellonian., 1918-01-18

All wooden Christmas boxes for sol diers of the expeditionary forces re- ceived too late for shipment will be re- turned to the senders if return postage Is mailed to the superintendent, rail- way mail service, New York, N. '.
 To aid in supplying suitable material with which to illustrate sermons, lec- lures and school work, the division of pictures, committee on public informa- ton, is preparing official stereopticon slides showing America's participation in the war.
 These slides will be made available soon for general use, at a nominal charge to cover actual cost.
 An embargo has been placed on the exportation of butter, except to nations associated with the United States in war.
 The first acquisition under the new seleetive-service regulations is for bricklayers. In sending the call the provost marshal general asked for 1000 men to fill an urgent need of the | armies in France.
 Only white men are wanted. They report to the aviation section, signal corps, Kelly field, San Antonio, Tex.

In their campaign for guarantors for Junior Chautauqua this year the members of the Junior Chautauqua were greatly disappointed when only L. Gsaraators were secured to pay tae necessary S60 l. looked for the moment as if the Seven Joyous Days were to pass without the pleas. ures and delights of the Junior feat ure this year It might have so pas 9 l had not the Juniors, through them trainine, learned not to be discou,ae ed at obstacles and to rely upon then own resources.

beg to saE in explanation that we were unable to get the required mum bef of euafantofs, and so fe.t that VI caald not ask I7 gu8raatars to stand good fer q $6ooQ guarantee You Will perhaps remember that there was some doubt as to the adyisability of trying to continue Junior Chautau- qua in Putnam A few of us were de- termined, however, that Putnam, which was the banner town for Junior Chautauqua in 1914, the first year Chautauqua was held here, should be still on the map, and that We would have Junior Ghautauqua regardless of the number of guarantors.
 The Junior Winter Club alumni, under the supervision of Miss Doro- thy Powell of Swathmore. Penn, gave an entertainment at the Putnam High school, the net proceeds of which were S30-o0 and 1t is this amount that we are sending you today.
 
 The Junior Winter Club, backed by the Winter Club alumni, seek to be independent in the matter of their obli-ations in securing a supervisor for the Winter Club work. They are planning to pay the balance in a short time We suggest, that instead of deseias for guafaators for 1919 Ju- aiar Winter Club, our i4ea Is to have cHe Alumni become the gua antors. .

It is now possible for farmers e secure the p5stp5 az of the eaIliag of necessary farm Iaborers for an in- definite time. probably until fall at least.
