speaking of Chamberlain's Collie

William Whitelaw, OF Des Moines
Iowa. "He told me in detail OF
what it had done for his family,
but more especially his daughter
who was lying at the point OF
death with q violent attack OF
dvsintery, and had been given
up by her family physician. Some
OF the neighbors advised him to
give Chamberlain's Collie and Dl.

SO saved the life OF hiI child. Ht

the Austrian troops. 1thas been

Allied armies are making on the

comprehensive statement which

push began, the Germans have
been cleared away from 1000
square miles of 'suil in Belgium
and France. Four thousand
square miles of this territory has
been liberated from German Oc-

This latter fact indicates the mo

To write a war editorial for
this mornings paper is to write OF
a series OF events in q stage of
formulation. These include con-
sideration by the Turkish Gov.
ernmen OF formally surrendering
it's armies and getting out OF the
war on any conditions which
Great Britain might grant. Next,
the Austria. Hungary Govern
ment seems determined on pull
ing out from alliance with Ger
many and securing the best terms
for separate peace that may be
procured. There are indications
that the Austrian Army is itself
the most potent factor in t h e
peace talk. 1t may prove true
that arrangements toward the
acceptance OF peace for Austria
have gone so far as partial de-
mobilization OF the armies. 1t
may be accepted as a fact that
arrangements for peace not on
ly for Turkey, but for Austria
and Hungary are by this time
we'll in hand and that the closing
OF the week may find them out OF
the war, with Germany engaged
in the consideration OF her own
situation alone AMI friendless.
1t has not yet developed in just
what manner the note from the
President has been received in
Germany. The document has Civ
en- pause to the German Govern
ment, which has evidently adop'
ted a policy OF inviting a state
lnent OF the manner OF peace the
Allied councils will be willing tc
give 1T, knowing full we'll in ad

Regulations governing the chip
ping oi Christmas parcels to ar
my men in service overseas by
relatives in this country b a We
just been completed, following a
series OF conference between Off
cials OF the war department, the
post Office department and the
Red Cross. Under the plan work
ed out every American soldier ID
q foreign land will be permitted
to receive one package contain
ing Christmas gifts from the UNI.
ted States. ~ >y19
The department has a
'ssperats arrangement to enable
men in that branch Of the ser.
vice on duty abroad to obtain
holiday boxes fromloved ones at
home.
Relatives and friends who are
planning to make Christmas for
the soldiers in the war zones as
merry az conditions will permit,
should bear in mind that each
soldier is entitled to but one Of
these packages. The war depart.
ment will not accept moro than
one parcel for each man. It IS ex.
pscted that approximately two
million OF these packages will be
sent abroad and the amount Of
shipping space provided for their
transportation will not permit
Of any deviation from the "One
parcel q man rule"
The men themselves will decide
who is to send these parcels.
They are now receiving Christ
mas-parcei labels with instruc'
tions to mail these labels to the
person;in this country from whom
they wish to receive the holiday
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 re;
placed. No Christmas parcels will
be accepted for shipment after
November. 20. The cardboard
boxes, or cartons, to be provid.
ed for these parcels are 3x4x9 in.
ches In size. When packed, wrap.
ped and ready for mailing these
boxes must not weigh more than
three pounds.
The American Red Cross has
agreed to provide these card
board boxes and to supervise
their distribution to relatives OF
the soldiers who present t b e
proper Christmas parcel-label
credential. The distribution Of
the cartons will be made by Red
Cross branches throughout the
country. 1t will be incumbent
upon the person receiving one Of
these boxes to return it when iii.
cd, but unwrapped. to the collec-
tion point designated by the
Red Cross. Here it will be inspec.
ted by the Red Cross inspectors
authorized to exclude any artic-
le barred by the postal authori.
ties, after which the box will be
shipped. In short, the Red Cross
is responsible for the distribu'
ton, receipt atdesignated points
the inspection and mailing Of the
boxes.
The following is an outline OF
the procedure to be followed by
persons planning to send one OF
these parcels abroad:
Onl lrecaiving one of these Christ
mas parcel labels it should be
presented at the nearest chapter,
branch or auxiliary headquart.
ers of the Red Cross, where the
holder will receive a carton.
These labels are not expected to
