Regulations for Soldiers Gifts

NSSuIdtiOHo lOI OOlQICTS OlIIS
i Regulations governing the ship
ment of Christmas parcels to soldiers
overseas by relatives in this country
have just been completed, following
a series of conferences between Off
cials of the War Department, the Post
Office Department, and the American
Red Cross. Every American soldier
in foreign land will be permitted to
receive one package containing Christ
mas gifts from the United States.
The Navy Department has separ-
ate arrangement to enable men in that
branch of the service on duty abroad
to obtain holiday boxes.
Relatives and friends who are plan
ming to make Christmas for the sol
diers in the war zones as merry as
conditions will permit should bear in
mind that each soldier is entitled to
but one of these packages. The War
Department will not accept more than
one parcel for each man. 1t is expect
ed that approximately 100000 of
these packages will be sent abroad and
the amount of shipping space pro
vided for their transportation will not
permit of any deviation from the cone
parcel man rule"
The men themselves will decide who
is to send these parcels. They are
now receiving Christmas parcel labels,
with instructions to mail these labels
to the person in this country from
whom they wish to receive the holi-
day box. To avoid any chance of du-
plication, each soldier gets but one of
these labels. Packages that do not
bear these labels will not be accepted.
In the event of this label being lost, it |
cannot be replaced. No Christmas
parcels will be accepted for shipment
after November 20. The cardboard
boxes, or cartons, to be provided for |
these parcels are by by 8 inches in |

There was an epidemic of influenza
in the United States during the winter
of 18S9-90 which is well remembered by
many residents of Mount Holly. Refer
ence to local newspaper files shows it
was first mentioned in December, 1889,
as follows: La grippe, the new influ-
enza, has made it's appearance in
Mount Holly. One physician reports
having sixty cases. The attack gener-
ally lasts about two days and is very
severe while it holds"
There are mentioned number. of
residents who were suffering from the
disease, but nothing is said about the
death rate being high. A few deaths
from influenza and also few from
pneumonia are shown.
AT a meeting of the Burlington
County Medical Society, held January
81, 1890, the influenza epidemic was
discussed, and DR.. Franklin Gauntt,
now deceased, Burlington physician,
spoke on the subject of the germ theory
as applied to the grippe epidemic. He
contended that in that manner the
disease was spread.
Several patent medicine advertise
ments then appearing in the newspa-
pers mentioned the epidemic, and, OF
course, claimed that each nostrum was
either cure for or preventive of the
influenza.
Apropos of the present era of high
prices, there was one article that was
abnormally expensive at that time
An item then published says: THAT
steam heater in the court house cellar
has cost Burlington county about ST..
600. At the board of freeholders' meet
ing on Wednesday February II, lS90)
a bill for the new drain under the
heater was paid, amounting to 81,
1O5.sS."

In line with the many economies
that are now being practiced special
order just issued by the Postoffice De-
partment urges the public to use
stamps of the highest denomination
suited to the amount of postage re-
quired on piece of mail. Since the
increase in the rates of postage on ordi-
nary letters from two to three cents, it
is found that two and one-cent stamp
are frequently used in place of three
cent one. The department urges the
purchase Of stamps of the highest de-
nomination possible, as it will effect a
large saving in the cost of producing
and transporting.

LUXEMBOURG MAY
ION ALLIES AFTER
WARS CONCLUSION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Luxemburg,
from which Germany is drawing iron
for munitions, will cut itself free from
German domination and join the allies
after the war, according to diplomats
here today. Allied military successes
may make this possible earlier.
Information leading to this conclusion
has been received in official quarters
here. it is stated.
After the war Luxembourg will be
either:
1. An independent state under pro-
lection of the league of nations, or.
Belgian Luxembourg.
Nominally an Independent grand
duchy, Luxembourg has been held VaSSal
by Germany for years because of her
the Krupp munition factories and made
possible Germany's super-preparedness
program.
Misled by a pro-German court, the
people of Luxembourg have now appealed
to President Wilson for protection and
have demanded that the German armies
evacuate her territory which was over
run at the outbreak of the war in vio-
lation of neutrality treaty.
Popular resentment was long held
In check by the grand duchess, who
sanctioned the marriage of her sister to
Prince Rupprecht, Bavarian crown
But dispatches here indicate the par
Lament is striving to cut loose from
Germany and join the allies. They have
demanded an explanation of the mar
riage allying their court with that of
the kaiser. Popular Indignation is
high, reports indicate.
Luxembourg contains a percentage of
French and Belgian population and
French is spoken among the educated
classes and dominates the peasant dia-
lectS, experts say.
Germany signed treaties in 1867 and
in 1902 guaranteeing neutrality of
Luxembourg and promising not to use
her railroads for troop movements.
But without a seaport, Luxembourg
was forced into the German customs
union and German tariffs were eXacted
on all goods coming into her borders.
She was thus forced into economic de-
pendence on Germany having few man.
ufactures and being forced to take Ger
man goods in exchange for iron, coal
and farm produce.
Allied military successes have en-
couraged parliamentary leaders in Lux
emburg to protest against German
usurpation. The tiny country is with
out a large military force and will be
helpless to defend herself against Ger
many until allied successes push the
kaiser's hordes from her border.
Her vast mineral resources and agri-
cultural products will be of great aid
to allied peoples nearby and she would
in turn have better access to the sea
by obtainoing free passage through Bel
GUM and France, diplomats point out.

Herr Erzberger Sang
Different Tune In 1915

LONDON, Oct 23.-It is recalled by
the correspondent at Berne of the
Times that Matthias Erzberger, leader
OF the German cenJrists and a member
OF the government formed to convince
the outside world of the peace-loving
character of this government, in a
newspaper article written in February,
1915, expressed sentiments quite the
contrary to those ne is now supposed
TO entertain. He wrote:
The greatest ruthleSsnss is in real
ity the greatest humanity. If it should
be possible TO destroy the whole of
London that would be more humane
than to allow one of our fellow coun-
trymen to bleed TO death on the battle
field, because such a radical cure would
lead most speedily to peace.
England has stolen from US more
than 400 merchant ships. The answer
to this should ne mat for every Ger
man merchantmen one English town
or village Will be destroyed by our
airmen."
The German newspapers are laying
great stress on the supposed attitude
Of Herr ErZberger on the peace ques-
ton. They refer at length to his plan
