given by the sisterhood. and from all
Indications. promises to be the most
brilliant Of them all. Some Of the fea-
turss that have made these affairs not
able have been the beauty and the
number Of the prizes offered In the

LET'S DO 1T

T ET'S send the boys "over there"
- the kind of news they are
sending to us over here.
Every issue of the Telegraph tells
OF fresh victories. of the German
lines thrown back here or smashed
there.
We owe those lads something in
the way of good news from home.
They are looking back to us for
moral and financial support. 1--WE
can win the fights in France if you
can win the campaigns at home-but
if YOU fail US. the war is lost" they
say. They want to feel that the tre-
mendous, concentrated might of the
whole United States is back of them
that the folks at home are with
them, to a man.
And what better tidings to send
back than that the country has gone
"over the top" in another big Lib
erty Loan. The day the word "over-
subscribed" goes from camp to
camp and trench to trench through
out the American armies will be a
happy one for the lads in olive drab.
They will know then that the food.
and the munitions. and the clothing,
and the guns will continue to pour
across the Atlantic in a steady
stream and that back home the peo-
pie are as determined that the war
shall be won quickly as are the SOL
diers themselves.
And right here is where YOU
come in.
Your part-everybodys part
Just now is to buy bonds-twice as
many as last time.

Christmas Sales

. It appears that the restrictions as
to Christmas shopping advocated by
the Council of National Defense will
have considerable effect upon the
Christmas advertising carried by the
newspapers.
Edward A. Filene, of Boston, a di-
rector of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, commenting
favorably on the restrictions, calls
the attention especially of the retail
stores that advertise to. the details of
the arrangement and urges them to
publish in their advertising at once
the important points of the proposed
plan.
The point of special interest to
advertisers is that every effort is to
be made to spread the period for
holiday purchasing over the months
of October, November and Decem-
ber. Logically the Advertising, usu-
ally crowded into the month of De-
cember, will also be spread, to some
extent at least, over the three
months.

Up TO THE VOTER

"HIS is the final registration day
for the present year and all
voters must qualify or be dis
franchised at the November cleo
ton. There are many things to di-
vert the voter from his usual
thoughtful attitude in the closing
weeks of the campaign, but the i'm
portance of the approaching election
cannot be over-stated. Republicans
are not overlooking the fact that a
strenuous effort is being made by
the party in power to continue its
control of the government. Under
the circumstances, therefore, they
are going to give full attention to the
election of members of Congress. OF
course, in our own district, Mr..
Kreider will be reelected by great
majority. He deserves reelection If
| for no other reasons than his con-
structive patriotism and great good
sense manifested in the considera-
ton of many important measures.
There will also be elected four
members of Congress- at-large in this
State, and it will be the duty of Re.
publicans to see to it that they are
registered to-day so that they may
be ready to cast their votes for Re-
publican representatives at WASH
ington in November.
1t will not be forgotten, also, tha
in the hurly-burly of the closins
weeks the liquor interests of the
State will do their level best to elect
members of the Legislature who will
vote against the proposed prohibi-
ition amendment to the nationa
constitution. 1t has too often been
the case in. the past that the very
persons most concerned about such
measures as prohibition are those
most neglectful about the ordinary
duties of citizenship, especially as
these are related to registration anc
similar qualifications for the ballot
These matters are now up to The
people and it depends upon the votel
whether or not the next Congress
shall be controlled by the construc.
tive Republican element of the
country and also whether prohibi.
ton shall be voted up or voted
down.

USKUB WILL BE SKOPLJE

From the New York Sun.
Uskub, which the allied forces in
Macedonia have entered and which
reports from the front indicate the
Bulgars nave been forced to leave,
is one OF the strongest strategic
points of the Balkans. 1t is the
gateway of the road westward
through the mountains to Albania
and the Adriatic, to the highway
northwarl from the Vardar valley
to Austria ana the head of the Nol-
leys south to Saloniki and Greece
and eastward to Bulgaria and Con-
atantinople. Every claimant of Mac
edonia has struggled for its possess
sion and every Balkan Car or King
| has won and lost it.
The piers of the fine old bridge
over the Vardar at Uskub were built
| by the Romans, the superstructure
by the ancient Serbs, the plank road
way and the wooden railing by the
! Turks. Thus briefly is told the
history of ancient Scupi, mediaeval
| Skoplje and modern Uskub. To COM
| plete, the details are mosques and
baths of which the domes are over
grown with grass and weeds, and
minarets from which the woodwork
tumbled half century ago in decay
| There is great caravansary with
walls thick enough to repel armed
attacks, with gateway bearing We.
retian inscriptions and courtyard
in the center of which is a fountain
ornamented with the lions of st
Mark. There are ruins of Turkish
villas with latticed windows along
the river bank, a wide street where

Why Germany Must Be Beat

E. G.. Pipp, Detroit:
Every German, whether he wills
or not, is trained to kill.
Every German submits or dies.
Every German is out to force CIV
llization to submit to the will of the
German rulers.
Every German must be beaten.
And every American must take
part in the conflict.
If needed at the front, he must
fight.
If he cannot serve in the army or
navy, he must help supply ships and
munitions and food and money.
If he cannot toll, he must give and
lend.
The ships must be had; the NUM-
tions must be had; the food must be
had; the money must be had.
They must be had in abundance,
and they must be had speedily.

Shuffling the Cards

There is bound to be lively shut
fling of cards in Germany under the
stress of the news that is coming
day by day. Ministers are likely to
resign and new ones to be appoint
ed. The Reichstag is likely to adopt
resolutions declaring that parlia-
mentary government is established
and the chancellor is responsible to
it alone and not to the kaiser. The
constitution is likely to be amended,
ballot reform granted, and self-gov:
ernment held out to Alsace-Lorraine.
But through it all will be the same
old deck of cards and the shuffling
won't change a single spot.-From

Saluting the Flag
By BRIGGS
[From the Philadelphia Bulletin

[From the Philadelphia Bulletin]
DR.. Schaeffer, State Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction, has in
formed a delegation of Montgom-
cry county Mennonites who wanted
to know whether their children
should should be required to salute
the flag, that they must do so.
The superintendent rightly insists
that saluting the flag is not simply
war measure, but that it is an
act of pure patriotism-someth
that every one should do as matter
of course in every day life.
We cannot have too much of this
sterling habit in both young and old.
Just as a good churchman rever-
ences the sign of the cross, and just
as a gentleman instinctively raises
his hat to a gentlewoman, so should
an American always salute with un-
covered head the flag of his country
whenever and wherever he may see
it in formal or distinctive display.

Turkey Out on a Limb
[From the Kansas City Time.

[From the Kansas City Times]
If there is any country so situated
as to see more clearly than Germany
the effects of Bulgaria's surrender
that country is Turkey. Bulgaria in
the hands of the Allies is a door
slammed shut between Germany and
Turkey.
Turkeys aid to Germany as mil
itary ally has been small and much
of it indirect. She was to have kept
the road to India open and has fail
ed to do it. She was to have been the
bridge upon which Germany's Mittel
Europa was to march to the East
England tried to break down that
bridge at Gallipoli and failed. She
tried again in Palestine and Mesopo-
tamia and succeeded. Now a fresh
and fatal gap has been made in
1.-THE Balkans, the backbone of Mittel
Europa has been severed, and Tur-
Ekey isolated.
Turkeys isolation is a blow to
Germany in that it looks to a sepa-
rate peace. Large British armies,
made up chiefly of men from India
iare engaged on the Turkish front
Whether these could be used in
France or not, their transfer from
Palestine and Mesopotamia would
release an enormous amount of Brit
ish transport that is now engaged in
supplying them. This shipping is
badly needed elsewhere. Further,
the chances are now greatly impair
ed that Turkey will be- able or will
ing to play Germany's game after
the war.

And fell but once. and then, behold
