Uncle Sam Asks for Early Shopping.

The Government has asked that
Christmas shopping this year be done
as early as possible. One reason for
this is. to assist merchants, many of
whom are conducting their business
with reduced sales forces because of
the shortage of help. Another reason
for the request is to avoid, as much as
possible, the annual congestion in the
mail. express and freight service. all
Of which are now under government

Then followed the brief regime Of

the Russian revolution as a blessing.
1t had become absolutely correct to
say that the war vas a war Of democ-

Finally came the bolsheviki revolu-

them freedom meant not the right of
the majority to choose their form of
government, but the right of the indi-
vidual to be free from all forms of
governmental restraint. They would
tear down the old order completely,
at one stroke, and set up the mil

organization Of the railways and the
failure of the food supply. The mill

Russia will not longer fight side by
side with her scrmer allies. SO In
siduous has been the German propa-
ganda that. In many instances. Russian
hatred Of the allies seems to be deep

Therefore the United States cannot
render direct aid to the struggling peo-

armies and supplies, for they have re-

fight for Russia she must fght on the
