tn HE American Red Cross intends
TO administer relief work on a
far greater scale In Palestine
than heretofore In order that thou
sands Of men, women and children In
that part Of the world may be rescued
from their present suffering. Or. John
II. Finley, Red Cross Commissioner to
Palestine und former Commissioner Of
Education for the State Of New York,
has cablcd that this additional work is
Immediately necessary.
At least one-third Of the population
OF Lebanon has died Of starvation and

Many villages are virtually depopulat-

need, owing to cpidemicS, lack Of EN-

w. S. S. FOR PEACE.
We Have Financed the War, We Must
Now Finance Peace Problems.

Some people are asking: Now that
the war is over and the soldiers are
coming home, what Is the sense in my
buying more w. s. s, and Certifi-
cates?"
They feel that they have helped
finance the war. They forget that
they must help to finance peace.
Consider for a minute how many
ships 1t will take to bring the boys in
khaki home again. Consider how many
millions Of dollars it will take to keep
American soldiers in Europe long
enough to see TO It that we are not
cheated out Of the victory We have
won. Also, consider that It will take
many months to get the soldiers who
are now in camps In this country and
abroad back into civil life and into
citizens clothes, back at their old Jobs
in the mills, the factories and at the
plow.
You have seen that phrase, "The
war is not won until the last soldier
is back home" haven't you? These
men who fought for you, who have
given UP their work and their families
and offered their lives for you, must
be fed and sheltered until they are
discharged from the army, And they
can't all be discharged tomorrow.
They can't all be home for Christmas.
This country has a big Job on Its
hands In getting ready for peace. The
military machine that has been going
Full Speed Ahead" must Low be re.
versed, and the soldiers that were
must be the civilians OF tomorrow. But
It will take time Expenses will keep
going on. The money must be fur
nlshed. II can't all come out Of Lib
erty Bond issues and taxes. Some oil
II must come from War Stamps. The
pledges that have been given should
be redeemed, and the man or the WON
an who can buy more stamps should
buy them.

There will be reserved seats for

Wash and party, and lady ushers will
be present who will graciously and
gracefully escort each part to its re-
served sector.
Attractive hand bills have been dis
tributed throughout this entire sec
ton inviting everybody and their
cousins to be present.
The Times Recorder has kept this
occasion before its readers, and
it is expected that at least five thous-
and visitors will patronize this won
derful show, have good time, cele'
brate the great victories recently won
by our allies, and provide a fund for
the boys of the sixties.

their patriotism in most practical

the trees direct from the owner. When
the trees are sold to a sawmill which

attention to their footwear. Except
for shoes for sport wear they include
styles for any sort of demand. For

more brilliant pair Of pumps in patent
leather has buckles in sparkling Jet.
There is nothing more elegant than
these and they are immensely well
liked for afternoon and evening wear.
There is nothing more durable or
satisfactory than white canvas shoes
for street wear. They are more easily
cleaned than other white shoes and
strong linen canvas will outwear
leather. For midsummer they are the
coolest of shoes and probably the most
economical in the long run.

close to the orchestra. During the
second act one of the conspirators
leaned toward the millionaire, when
az previously arranged, they all turned
on the absorbers suspended over their
vests, and endeavored to whisper
"They can't imagine what's the mat
ter" But the joke was on him, for he
could not hear his own voice, and Mr..
Gazukes could only guess at what he
meant.
A trio behind the footlights was
waiting expectantly for an introduc-
tien to their song. The conductor who
at first was quietly waving his baton
and indicating for the first violin to
commence, then looked angrily at him
and nodded his head wildly to go on.
People were surprised, Although
those in the front seats could see the
bows passing over the instruments,
there was no sound. The leader Of
The orchestra then indicated for the
drummer to drum. The veins on his
temples stood out and his hair seemed
to rise from his forehead, while his
spectacles slid along his nose to the
furthest distance from their proper
position. Now there was consterna-
ton that, while he seemed to be giving
orders, no results were forthcoming,
and, not understanding, the audience
was getting restless, looking around.
Harvard's night at the theaters-
when she wins-are dreaded perhaps
as much by conductors as by the act
ors, who know that interruptions may
be expected at the most inopportune
times, and awakening to the fact that
this was some joke, the conductor COM
nenced to scan the audience.
