Christmas Parcels.
Local Red Cross Chapter Gives Information
Regarding Sending OF Holiday Parcels
to Men Abroad.

Local Red Cross Chapter Gives Information
Regarding Sending OF Holiday Parcels
to Men Abroad.
The families of men in service abroad
have been longing for some means of
making Christmas overseas as merry
one as the conditions permit Sensing
This desire. the War Department has de-
cided that each man may receive from
his family Christmas package of stand
ard size and approximately standard con-
tents.
An ARRANGEMENT has been completed
between the War Department, Postoffice
Department and the American Red Cross,
whereby the latter has undertaken to CO.
operate in the preparation for mailing of
these Christmas parcels. To simplify the
execution of this plan large number of
especially manufactured cardboard car
tons have been purchased which will be
distributed through the Chapters to the
relatives and friends of men IN service
overseas.
The amount of shipping space which
has been set aside for the transportation
of Christmas parcels will permit the
sending of but enc parcel to each man.
To avoid any duplication and to make
sure that each parcel will be correctly ad-
dressed, Christmas Parcel label is now
being issued to each man abroad.
Men will be instructed to mail this
label home to some relative or friend,
who upon receiving it, will apply to the
nearest Chapter, Branch or Auxiliary
Headquarters, or such other places as may
be designated by the Red Cross, where
upon presentation of the Christmas Par
eel label they will receive one carton, 3
by by 9 inches in size.
The person receiving carton may I'LL
it with any combination of articles which
will fit in it and which are not barred by
the Postoffice department. When COM
pletely packed and ready to be mailed the
weight of the carton must not exceed
three pounds.
A parcel ready for shipment will then
be presented at places designated where
Red Cross representatives will examine
the contents in order to exclude any artl-
Giles barred by the Postoffice department
from Christmas parcels, remove any
notes or messages found among the con-
tents, wrap, tie and weigh the parcel and
place on the parcel the Christmas Parcel
label received from abroad bearing the
address of the men for whom it is intend
ed. The person sending the parcel shall
then, in the presence of Red Cross rep
resentative, affix stamps sufficient to
carry the parcel to Hoboken, N. j. The
postal charges for Christmas packages
shall be at the rate of fourth class or
parcel post zone rate. The Red Cross
inspection label certifying as to the COM
plete inspection of the parcel by the Red
Cross shall then be placed on the parcel.
Parcels ready for mailing shall remain in
the custody of the Red Cross until de-
livered by its representatives to the Post
flee authorities.
No Christmas parcels can be mailed
later than Nov. Is, 1918. In the event of
Christmas parcel label lost no duplicate
can be issued. This rule cannot be altered
by anybody.

MUST SECURE LICENSE;

The Food Administration has called at
tention to the fact that shippers of hay,
potatoes and apples, except farmers who
are marketing products of their own
growing, are required to take out a
license. Persons shipping these COM
modities should make application to the
License Division of the United States FOOD
A administration, Washington, D. c., for
such license. It is important that the
shippers of hay, potatoes and apples ap-
ply for license in order that those ship
pers who are guilty of unfair practices
may be dealt with under food regulations.

dubious. They have tried to stretch Class 1 by repeated classifications and combing out men improperly placed in the deferred classes. But even with these sweeping reclassifications there will be a shortage of man power in the first class.
 Class ? probably will be invaded by the end of August. There is only thin line between this group and Class 1. It is made up of men with wives or families only partially dependent on the registrants. Married men whose wives have incomes or proper ty in their own right, and registrants who married since May, 1917, are also in this group.
 There is a great deal of speculation as to what caused the agreement to defer the new draft legislation. Con gress was not anxious to vote a new draft just before election, and would prefer not to vote on the change of age limits until after the fall cam paign is out of the way. Members say that Secretary Baker and Provost Marshal General Crowder were en- tirely willing for the new draft legisla- ton to be deferred, and so advised and this recommendation relieved Congress from an embarrassing situa- tion. ss s8ESl H

CONSIDER NEW
 PLAN FOR DRAFT
List of Men Available in First Section Will Be
 Exhausted Soon.

Washington, July 18-With the drafted men being sent to training camps at the rate of 100000 per months and only about 600,OOO men of the ready for service" group in sight, the draft authorities are be- ginning to hum the war tune. ''Where do we go from here 2" The 1000 include all the men now in Class 1 plus the estimated number to be se- cured through the latest registration of twenty-one year olds.
 The failure of Congress to enact a law changing the age limits is likely to bring about a serious situation in connection with the draft by Sept. 1. Congress will doubtless reply that the new man power was not made available before the adjournment be- cause Secretary Baker advised that it be passed over. The Secretary of War spoke to the members of the Military Affairs Committee of the House about new programme" un- der contemplation.
 The details of this plan have never been disclosed. Whatever the new idea is. it will have to be translated into action soon, for all the men con- stituting the group when it was antici- pated it would be the only class to be called for a long time to come will soon be in khaki.
 Even if Congress on reconvening in August immediately changes the age limits so as to tap new reservoirs of supply for Class 1, the classification of the new registrants would consume enough time to make it October or November before they would be available.
 As the matter stands today, six weeks more will see the extinction of the present Class 1, augmented by the new twenty-one year old regis trants. They -aust then go into Class es 2, and 4 if the worx or train ing an army is to continue without interruption.
 Class contains about 700,000 men; Class 3, 100000. and Class 4, 9,500,- 1000, according to estimates of the Provost Marshal Generals office. Class is made up of rejects" and only small percentage of this class ever will be called
 Officials of the Provost Marshal Generals office admit the situation Is

PAN-GERMAN SAYS WAR WAS
 LONG DESIRED

New York, July 18-The present war is a war of revenge" long de- sired @ by the Pan-Gernans writes Kurd yon Strantz, a 'Pan-German leader in a book entitled "Our Ma tional War Goal" published in Ger many.
 German newspapers received here quote the author as saying:
 Tn my boyhood days the German war of. retaliation, as we must name this world war more correctly, was the dream of my life, the realization of which I have never despaired of, although I did doubt that I would live to see it in view of the unfortu- nate peace policy followed by the post Bismarckian administration.
 "But I have lived to enjoy that happiness. By word and letter I have fought for this war of revenge which finally is to restore our old national and political frontiers which we had gradually lost in the East and West since 1852. Neither 1915 nor 1871 re- stored those frontiers.
 Bismarck started our national rise but he did not complete it. His dis charge impeded the victory-promising course, as his successor gave half of German Africa senselessly without any compensation to our new arch enemy, England. Herewith began the descent which only this world war could arrest and which l longed for and foresaw when such thoughts were unpopular"
 The Berlin Vorwaerts says that the entire enemy world will learn of this confession with great satisfaction and adds: "If Herr von Strantz had been paid for his book by enemy agents he would not have better worked into the hands of the enemy countries. The book, says the Vorwaerts, is proof of the criminal activities of certain Pan-German circles which now open 1 Iy boast that they had longed for this war as their greatest happiness.

WAR LABOR BOARD
 DECISIONS MADE
Two Important Matters Ali fecting Living Wage and
 Eight Hour Day.

The National War Labor Board au- thorized the following:
 | The National War Labor Board has arrived at two important decisions affecting the questions of the living wage and the basic eight-hour day.
 In the first decision the board re- adjusted the existing wage schedules in eight plants, employing 5000 men, at WayneSboro, Pa., fixing 40 cents per hour as the minimum rate to be paid any class of workers, including common laborers, and announced that it now has under consideration the question of determining the living wage which, under it's principles, must be the minimum rate of wage to per init the worker and his family to sub sist in health and reasonable com fort. Final determination of the question was made a special order of business for Tuesday, July 23. In the Waynesboro case the award of the board gives many of the work CTS wage increases greatly in excess of their demands, to gain which they were recently on strike. For in i stance, the minimum rate is fixed at 40 cents per hour, while minimum rate demanded was 30 cents per hour. Un- l til now common laborers at Waynes- boro have been receiving as little as l p cents per hour. The increase to the lowest paid men, therefore, will be S1 per cent. Skilled workers were awarded the increases they demand | ed
 | The second decision was made in the controversy between the Worth ington Pump & Machinery Go. and it's employees in the Blake-Knowles plant at East Cambridge, Mass, and in the Snow plant at Buffalo, N. Y. The East Cambridge plant has been tied up for several days by strike of 1000 workmen. At both places the paramount issue was the application of the basic -eight-hour day A wage dispute former a part of the contro- versy at East Cambridge. The sec tion of the board assigned to the case, | composed of Loyal A. Osborne and Fred Hewitt, representing, respective 1y, capital and labor, readily came to agreement on the question, of wages, but disagreed in the question of the application of the basic eight-hour day, MT. Hewitt holding that the ba- sic eight-hour day should be applied, MT. Osborne taking the opposite posi- 1 ton.
 The controversy was referred by the section back to the entire board which approved the sections award as to wages at the plant at East
 Cambridge, and decided upon a res olution offered by Frank P. Walsh,
 one of the two joint chairmen, that
 the basic eight-hour be installed at
 both plants, at the same time an lnouncing that the board is consider ing the matter of the determination ] of what should be fixed as the proper
 working day. As in the matter of the
 living wage, final consideration of the
 question of the basic workday was
 fixed as a special order of business fo1

HOUSES BEING
 BUILT IN DUBLIN

Dublin. July 1S-The rebuilding of the houses in Dublin ruined during the Easter rebellion of 1916 is pro- ceeding very slowly. More than 200 houses were destroyed, and not more than twenty-four have so far been re- built.
 In the main street devastated by the fires, O'Connel street, only one house has yet been finished The main cause of the delay has been the great ly increased cost of materials, and the difficulty of procuring them, especially timber.
 Five years from the date of de- struction was estimated as the period necessary for complete renewal, but since so little has been done in the past two years the term is likely to be greatly exceeded.
