Celebration UD TO Peonle.

Milwaukee, Dec lido the people
of Milwaukee want Christmas this
year? That is the question which is
now being determined, in the opinion
of the medical fraternity, members of
which assert that, if it is to be an
swered in the affirmative, the public
in general will adhere closely to the
rules and regulations laid down by
the health department for checking
the Influenza epidemic, as care at this
juncture will either mean the lifting
of the ban by Christmas time or the
leSSening of restrictions to the degree
necessary for the observance of the
usual Christmas festivities. They as
sert that it is up to the people them
selves whether, by a little self4sacri-
flee now, they will celebrate later, or
whether they will disregard precau-
lions and possibly have everything
closed down tight for the Christmas
holidays. The influenza epidemic con-
tinues to show signs of lessening.

Henry Ford Scourqes the Tribune.


Editor Fl. L. Hoard in The jefferson
county Union: The beauty of being
rich is in being able to do big things
when you wish to. Henry Ford has
done a big thing and an expensive thing
in exposing the Chicago Tribune's war
record. He has issued a red hot book
let, 17-page bombardment that will
put everyone wise to the fact that the
Chicago Tribune lent it's great power to
Germany and against the Allies and
against our President in an endeavor to
prevent our nation from taking an ac-
tive part in making the world "safe for
democracy during the first years of
the war.
The Tribune is bound to suffer from
this expose of its conduct It will
probably never forget the scourging
that Henry Ford is applying to it's
rather tough hide just at this time -

tinued to strike pitiless blows into
which she put all her fury, her terror,
her frayed and ragged nerves.
The girl on the floor, from whlmper-

noiseless sobs of pain and bewilder-

she lay still.
The countess prodded her with her

But she was startled when she saw
the girls face. 1t was she who was

story, and the other servants would
talk. 1t was already a deep purple,

The committee, which knows oil
things, believes that you have reason

Save that she clutched her cloak
more closely, the countess made no
move. But there was soft stir among
the figures. Perhaps, after all. the
committee as whole did not know all
things.
ITO prevent this alliance, madame,

"A marriage of expediency," said
the countess impatiently.
The speaker for the committee
shrugged his shoulders. Perhaps" he
replied. although there are those Of
us who think that in this matter of
expediency, Karl gives more than he
receives.
'The matter lies thus, madame. The

Assurances that the coal and trans

en- yesterday to delegation of New
England labor leaders sent here by Fuel
Administrator Storrow.
The labor men saw President Wilson
Saturday and yesterday saw navy, ship
ping board, fuel administrators and rail

They declared that unless one million
tons of coal a month were furnished ia
New England. 10000 men would be out
of work within 10 days and that eventl-
ally 800 900 would be idle.
New England has been short of coal
most of the winter. Earlier in the sea

crease the number of vessels CARRYING
coal from Hampton Roads TO New Eng

departments had taken so many ships
for their own use that it was almost
impossible To obtain enough tonnage.
Now the navy department has agreed to
assist in furnishing the ships.
