Bristol people will not send the State official responsible for the sugar distribution any Christmas gifts or good wishes this year. If they should tell him iii plain lan- guage what they think of him he would get the impression that he is about as perfect an example of in-
 competence and lack of fairness that could be found in this vicinity. The impression grows daily that the sooner his services are dispensed with the better for the administra-

NORWICH STREETS,

The fact that one of the important highways leading to NerEieh l,as been put in the excellent condition which has so leng leen needed, reference of co,lFse being to the road along the cast bank of the Thames, 1t cannot but impress upon Norwich the importance of locking after with keen interest that portion of the road which lies within the town and city limits. A city or town is judged by the roads it maintains, and at the present lime there Is a marked contrast with that part of the read which lies within inc city limits and that which is be- yona, end this unfortunately is not to the credit of the city.
 This is a matter to which the city must give due consideration during the coming year for the condition ie by no means confined to the Laurel Hill entrance. Much the same condi- ton prevails on the west side of the river from the Thames street pave ment to the city line. although pro- vision has been made for looking after some of the needs in that direction Washington street and Broadway are in better condition than other main ar- teries. but the highway from the per nanent pavement north on, the road te Faftville and the entrances from Pres lon are calling for early attention and the longer they are neglected the greater is going to be the job of re- pairing them.
 Little work on the roads can be ex- pected from now on but it should be one of the important undertaking during the coming year Good road; are an asset to be sought. It means much to a city and 1t should not bs Es is too often the case that the roads in the outlying districts. even in th. country, are in much better shapl than those to be found within a city Norwich should awaken to it's need In this respect.

WHAT IS THE UKRAINE?

Although the Ukraine and the Tkrainians have been figuring in the news eolumns of the American press for mpre than year, few readers have more than 8 hay idea of what the Ukraine section of the Russian empire consists or anything of the character of the people In a war geography bulletin the National Geo. graphic society gives an interesting and accurate picture of the Ukrainians and the land they inhablt The bulle- tin, which is based on commpnica- tEbn to the society from Aevin O.. Winter. says:
 What is the Ukraine? This is one of the many questions that people are asking today The Poles and the Lithuenlans of a few centuries ago knew well this nest turbulent section over which they attempted to rule, and imperial Russia for long time 1 was greatly troubled by this very un- ruly part of her expansive domain l The Tartars and the Turks felt its made upon them by the wild warriors | of the steppes.
 In recent years the Ukraine has auieted down, so that the casual stu. l dents of today hardly realized thai l there was such 8 distinctive sectioI 1 left living in the belief that the Slay; l of the Ukraine, or Little Russia, as i 1 is better known, had become thorough | ly amalgamated with the Great Rus sians of the Pstrograd and Moscow ] sections The events of the last fey
 months, however, have revealed tn
 real situation.
 The Ukraine has had a trouble
 some career. The wild SeythiaR helped to feed ancient Greece and he

GERMANY STILL WHINEs.

When British prisoners arrive in England and declare that they were urged when leaving German prison camps to intercede with the British people in behalf of the people o. Ger many, It shows how every avenue is hstAg used by the propagandists for Tightening the burden which it is rec pkntzed Germany must shoulder,
 But the British prisoners are the last ones who ought to be expected to undertake any such thing. It is a well LHown fact that Germany has shown it's greatest enmity to the Brit : ish, IL has taken advantage of the chance to vent It's long standing feel- ing against that nation and there heYs been no efforts to cover it up. According to the stories related by pFisvnsFp of war 1t has been declared that while shabby treament was ae- corded to all special efforts were made to see that the British were used vprse than the rest.

PUNISHMENT FoR EX.KAlsER.

Rhe announcement that the entente sllies have decided to demand oa Hol- land that the former emperor of Ger many be surrendered to Justice. if such Is actually the case, can cause no sur prise. It is in accord with the 6e- IIands of the people of the European countries which have suffered so se- verely at the hands Of the kaiser
 The decision on this action having been reached evidence is furnished lhat the entente allies not only agree epon this step but that they feel con- hdent that they can successfully sup port their contention by international aw. Experts upon such matter; have been giving deep thought to the ques- ton as to whether the ex-l:aiser IS ex- traditable. and while there are a few who hold that there is no legal pro- eess WheFsby it can be brought atouL there are others who maintain that l. can be done. and ill this position Bftish, French and American au- thorities are of the same opinion.
 The former kaiser has been indicted In Great Britain upon at least three counts for the frightful murders which have been committed by his war ma shine, of whicn he was tho head and the guiding force. It Is not intended that his suboEdinates in crime wifi be overlooked, for it has been repeat edly demanded that all those generals who perpetrated the long series o outrages during the war should bJ made to pay for their conduct. but ii Is equally important that the ring leader should be brought to the bar O justice, He Is more guilty -han al the rest. and it can hardly be sup posed that Holland will stand in tn, way of the punishment of sueh wide iy recognized cSininal.

SALT RIVER VALLEY
WELL ADVERTISED

That the Salt River valley is known
and admired by many fasteners, is
evidenced by d letter received. by
Harry Welch. secretary of the LEGAL
chamber of commerce, from a man
living in Minnesota The effective
ness of the literature gotten out by
the chamber Of commerce here is also
shown.
The text of the letter is as follows
Duluth, Mimi. Nov. %, 1918.
Harry Welch, Phoenix, Ariz..
Dear Sir: Receipt of literatCre se1t
me the 14th instant is hereby ac-
knowledged.
Allow me to compliment you on the
very interesting and artistic nature oil
your Salt River valley booklet. This
is by far the best piece of literature
describing land that has come to my
attention. 1t covers ali details thor
oughly and cannot but leave very
favorab BILE impression on the reader.
As for myself | assure you that if
so west this winter I shall visit Salt
River valley, and if | decide TO enter
agricultural activities it will not Be
without a thorough investigation OF
your wonderful valley lands.
Thanking you for your prompt at
tentfon to my inquiries, l remain, very

To PUBLISH ROLL Of
NEW MEMBERSO Of THE
RED CROSS ON DEC. A

Those in charge of the Christmas
roll call for the Red Cross feel greatly
encouraged at the number of people
who have voluntarily sent in their
memberships for 1919. There are
in Phoenix some $500 members of the
Red Cross and all of these, as well as
all adults, are expected to enroll, and
if they will do so voluntarily they will
help the workers immensely.
On or about December IA, which is
two days before the formal canvass for
the Christmas roll call is set the
names of all of those who have volun-
teered and sent in their membership
fee of s1.00 for the New Year will be
printed in the daily papers of Phoenix
through the courtesy of the papers
themselves. It is hoped that this list.
which is already being compiled at Red
Cross headquarters, will be long and
worthy one.
The question has been asked Of Mrs.
AinswOrth, chairman for the roll call
of the Red Cross, if the little people
are also expected to enroll All chill
dren under IA years of age not attend
ing school should be enrolled by self
or parent and. of course, all adults of
the civil population are expected to
| take out memberships, which cost bat
s100 each.
The membership entities the holder
to the new 1919 Red Cross badge and
TO have hung in the window of the
! home in which the member lives one
| of the new Red Cross hangers indicat-
! ing that that household supports the
Red Cross by its membership. The
new 1919 window hanger has a double
border of blue about the field of white
! in which stands the Red Cross. The
double border indicates the second
| war year of the Red Cross of America.
The Christmas roll call has another
feature Of great importance to the peo-
pie, especially those of Arizona. There
is to be no sale of the Christmas Red
! Cross seals this year. but a certain pro.
| portion of the membership fee, which
amounts, the nation over, to about
| two and half million of dollars is to
go to the work for which the seals have
formerly always been sold-the ma
tlonal perpetual battle against tuber-
culosis. Each member will receive
with his or her membership a certain
number of those Christmas seals to be
used as these seals have always been
used in the past on mail or upon gift
/ packages.
The money fer this splendid work
will thus be raised this year through
| the Red Cross Christmas roll call and
not through the sale of seals, and since
Arizona is vitality interested in this
! battle against the great white plague,
the roll call becomes doubly interest
| ing in this state.

fired, the bullet penetrating Larsen's
heart
In the room with Larsen, which ad-
Joined the storeroom in the rear, were
his daughter and Harry Bostwick, a
friend. They had been unobserved by

in northern France, Belgium, central
Russia, southern Europe. Poland and

The same populations must be fed,
the message said, and until another
season has passed they cannot feed
themselves

those to whom We are already pledged
we now have he splendid opportunity
and obligation of meeting the needs OF
those millions of people in the hitherto
