We were very much excited be-

going to happen next. Next we
went pop, pop and when we looked

The movement Of the Jewish Relief Society should
be afforded the greatest encouragement and support
by the community This society is one of the seven
merged in United War Work and lbs members were
heavy contributors to the great fund raised in the
drve Of last month The object to which the fund now
to be raised is to be applied different but none
the less worthy, and. if possible, is more urgent II
is for the relief Of the people of eastern theater
of the late war in parts of which war conditions
yet exist and where starvation and death are vet
stalking and Will be present through the long drearv
and bite rwinter.
The ravages Of. the war in that region were no
less terrible than in Belgium which has so long and
actively excited the sympathies of the world The
needs Of the stricken people OF the east are now more
urgent than those Of the Belgans There is also the
work Of rehabilitation to be carried there.
Though the Jewish Relief Society is at the head
OF this movement the Jews have greater interest
in it only for the reason that large number of their
race inahbit that region but the relief is to he an
pied TO all regardless of race and sect
The society is having and will have the hearty
cooperation Of all who have taken an active part
in war work for they recognize that there is vet TO be
much binding up Of the wounds of the world and that
nowhere have these wounds been deeper or more
neglected than in Poland, the Ukraine and other
western and southwestern provinces of Russia

The OVer-taxed Public

The street railway company of Kansas City wants
to increase street car fares to cents 1t has for
time been allowed scent fare There is either
street railway strike a threatened strike, al
most normal condition in Kansas City, and the
street railway management urges that if it is allowed
put in Scent fare it afford to make peace
with its employees. A year and a half ago we had a
national example of the adjustment of dis
putes between employer and employee at the expense
Of the public and since then in all parts of the
try that has been found to be easy and quiet
Of preventing quieting wage differences but it has
materially added to the cost of existence.
The people have exhibited signs of becoming
FESTIVE in the role of the goat This restveness
think, was somewhat manifested in the late
ressiona elections We have doubt higher freight
rates and fares the democratic party some
dreds Of thousands of votes last November much
larger number Of votes than those grateful railway
employees whose wages had been increased We are
led to this conclusion by the fact that the demo-
cratic party maintained increased its strength
the railroad centers and in strong labor districts
but it sloughed off fearfuly everywhere outside of
those districts.
When people taxed in the shape of higher
street fares, for the expense of a wage war be-
tween employer and employee the ravages of the war
keenly and directly felt To the great majority of
who patronize the street of large city,
fare is serious matter. Five cents small amount
but it is frequently the sole appropriation for that
purpose and when the fare is increased beyond that
the passenger is set afoot The other penny or as
is proposed in Kansas City, the other three pennies
transform the street into a limousine, quite be-
yond his reach
The people have directly indirectly become
saturated with this of thing and there will be
rain. 1t is tax which will no longer be borne
patiently and the nation the and cities exer
cisns control public utilities must find some
other Of keeping restoring industrial peace.
Since took part in the war there was an ad-
in the cost of labor of all kinds of materials
which enter into the operation and maintenance of
public utilities making advances in rates in many cases
justifiabe and necessary. No doubt of the ad-
vances in street railway fares unavoidable if the
railways to continue operation without loss
1t cannot therefore be that all applications for
increased fares and rates should peremporily de-
MED. What VIC is that public utility corpora
TONS the easiest way of their troubles should
not be allowed to their hands into the pockets of
the public. There should first be an investigation
by the powers in control the of the public
public service corporations, to if there is not
some way in which the public may be protected: if
justed unnecessary expenses of management which
may be cut off unnecessarily great profits TO be re-
duccd

RED CROSS ARE THE
REAL PEOPLE OVER
THERE, SAYS LETTER

This letter was written by a Boston
boy of German ancestry, who before
the war was a member of the Massa-
chusetts militia. He served on the
Mexican border at the time of the trou-
BILE with that country and was among
the first Americans sent to the Euro
pean front. He went as a top sergeant,
but has been promoted to a lieuten-
ancy. He was wounded in the jaw by
a shrapnel splinter while in command
of detachment made up of American
and English soldiers:

garettes, pipe and tobacco. Then every
week they give them cigarettes to last
them. The place is almost heaven tc

Then again, at the casualty clearing

are brought to be operated upon, they
are there always extending the well

from experience. Every week they

WONDERFUL STRENGTH OF SPIDERS

The amazing strength of spiders is shown in
number of well authenticated instances. Thus we
have an instance of half-inch spider catching
two-nch fish, 1t was of the ground or wolf family
scientist upon it struggling with fish on the
edge of a little pool Its claws We're buried in the
fshs tail; it had the tail out of the water but the
head still remained underneath The spider struggled
to pull the fish the bank and the fish struggled
desperately to draw the spider into the pool For ten
minutes the scientist watched this silent and deadly
fight. Then he hurried away for bottle in which to
put the combatants when he captured them He was
gone about half an hour, and his return the end
had come The fish dead and the spider was
slowly dragging its victim aWay.-New York Mail
