Hiuh-Water Mark,

"High-water mark" is the line ordi-
nariIy reached by the sea at high tide.
The general high-water mark of the
sea is taken as the line at the limit
of the rise of the medium tides and
that of a body of fresh water in
which there is no ebb and flow tide, is
taken at the limit of the soil that is
so affected by the water as to be
marked with a nature and vegetation
distinct from that of the banks.

PRESIDENT ASKS
PUBLIC TOBACK
REDCROSSDRIVE

President Wilson, in statement tC
the American people issued shortly be
fore he sailed for Europe to sit al
the world peace table, wrote an appea
to the American people urging then
to join in the Red Cross work by ell.
rolling as members at the Christmas
roll call which will take place Dec. 1t
to %, The president said:
ITO The American People: One
year ago twenty-five million Ameri-
cans, by enrolling as members of tn,
Red Cross at Christmas time, sent tC
the men who were fighting our bat
ties overseas a stimulating message
OF cheer and good will. They made
clear that our people were of thei1
own free choice united with their gov
eminent in the determination not only
to wage war with the instruments o.
destruction, but also by every mean
IN their power to repair the ravage
of the invader and sustain and re
the spirit of the army and of the homes
which they represented The friends
of the American Red Cross in Italy
Belgium and France have told, and
will tell again, the story of how the
Red Cross workers restored morale in
hospitals, in the camps, and at the
environments, and we ought to be very
proud that we have been permitted to
be of service to those whose suffer
ings and whose glory are the heritage
of humanity.
Now, by Gods grace, the Rec
Cross Christmas message of 1918 is to
be a message of peace as well as a
message of good will. But peace does
NOT mean that we can fold our hands
1t means further sacrifice. Our mem
bership must hold together and be in
creased for the great tasks to come
tentive world that America is perma-
nently aroused to the needs of the
new era, our old Indifference gone
forever.
The exact nature of the future ser
vice of the Red Cross will depend up
on the program of the associated gov
ernments, but there is immediate need
today for every heartening word and
for every helpful service. We must
not forget that our soldiers and our
sailors are still under orders and
still have duties to perform of the
highest consequence, and that the Red
Cross Christmas membership means a
great deal to them. The people OF
the saddened lands moreover, re-
turning home today where there are
that the hearts of our people are
with them in the dark and doubtful
days ahead Let us, so far as we can
help them back to faith in mercy and
in future happiness.
LAS president of the Red Cross
conscious in this great hour of the
value of such message from the
American people, should be glad il
every American would join the Rec
Cross for 1919, and thus send forth
to the whole human family the Christ
mas greeting for which it waits ant
fer which it stands in greatest need"

Boards to Work Out Details.
Officials pointed out today the regu-
lations constituting the law will def
nitely allow district exemption boards
to exempt bankers and essential
bank employees, men engaged in
necessary commercial enterprise and
kindred organizations The regula-
tons will not attempt specifically to
define the status of registrants who
shall be entitled to exemption. but
will allow the boards to work out
the details after the authorization
has been given them.
1t was said that the regulations
would straighten out completely a
situation arising since district boards
in various localities have ruled. under
the old law, that railroads are not in
dustries that are producing neces-
sary war materials Since the re-
quirement that man exempted be-
cause of his occupation must be of
