STORIES OF THE WAR
Huns Expeeted te Stay.

Correspondence of The Associated
 Press,)
 That Germany expected to occupy for long time. and perhaps perrla- nently. the northern portion of France, is shown by the fact that the Hun military authorities changed the names of all the important streets in tha larger towns which fell into their hands. There is scarcely a village where a distinctly German designation was not given to road or street. Such names as Kaiser Wilhelm Strasse," "Bismarck Strasse," sVon Hindenburg Stfasse." took the places of the French names. When the American troops operating with the British entered these towns they took particular delight in destroying these signs and replacing the original French markings.
 The Germans told the French in- habitants of these towns that in flu ture France would be divided into two parts-North France, which would be- l long to Germany, aE' South France, | which the French would be. permitted 1 to keep. They put the inhabitants uu | der severe discipline and required them to stand at attention and salute whenever oneaof their officers address | ed them or passed them on the street :, When the German officers entere. any of the homes. the whole family 1 was required to stand at attention un' 1 til they left.

The handing over of the German navy on it's surrender Is being de- scribed as the greatest pageant in naval history It may well be that but could it compare with some that have been seen in the past in point of beauty?
 Probably not, and it may be haz- arded that the most beautiful of all in the annals of the Navy was that witnessed by no less a person than Mefternich on May 2, 1794, when from the summit of hill behind Cowes. he watched the Channel Fleet put to sea with the East Indies and West Indies convoys-more than 400, ships in all T consider this" he wrote, the most beautiful sight have ever seen might say. indeed, the most beau tifu1 that human eyes have ever be- held"

Encouraging reports of the fewer

 should not allow us to relax our vigil

 on the extent of the precautions taken
 by the public to prevent infection. When the air is full of influenza germs, you may he constantly breath ing them into your nose and throat. you you may may make make youarseIf ssa practically immune to infection if you destroy the germ befere it actually begins work in your blood.

CONSERVATION WORK.

There are some lessons which have heen learned and some organizations created during the period of the war which it will be possible to make gooi use of in the years to come. Ali will not, and certainly should not, disap- pear with the signing of the terms of reace. and this is especially true of what has been done fin behalf of over coming waste.
 In this connection 1t is to be noted that two of the sections of the war industries board are by direction of the president to be turned over to the department of commerce. These are the resources and conversion sec ton, which will be retained but tenn porarily and the conservation division which is to become a permanent branch of the department of com merce It's function has been the studious conservation of resources and facilities by scientific commercial and industrial economies.
 There is plenty of excellent work which can be done in that direction whether there is war or reace, and having experienced the benefits from the practices which have been fol- lowed during the war it is a grand good idea to not only urge their con tinuance at all times but to make ,tht best use of the material which ha, been gathered for keeping to the from the elimination of waste and the pro. motion of precision in business. The fact that great developmelti are looked forward to in this countr, in the years to come does not meaI that we can totally disregard the i'm portance of eliminating waste W, | must have the proper regard for an, make the best use of our resources.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Columbia Red Cross Election.


 Mir. Editor: As secretary pro tenn. of the executive committee meeting for the annual election of officers of the Columbia chapter, A. R. C., wish to explain the apparent conflict of statements in the following item: 'EThe Bulletin of Dec. 4, under Columbia news, has the following item: At, the annual election of the Red Cross chap ter by the executive committee Charles K. Hitchcock declined to ac- cept a. nomination for reelection as treasurer for the ensuing year. This Is a mistake. Charles K. Hitchcock was not nominated for treasurer at the meeting of the executive commit tee of Columbia chapter, A. R, e. After it's election on Nov. 21 the five members of the executive committee who were present at the annual Red Cross meeting discussed informally the arrangements for the election of officers the following week. At the close of this conference two members of the executive committee waited upon MT. Hitchcock to learn if he would accept a renomination, which he positively declined to do. In ac- cordance with this refusal he was no! nominated at the election of officers One other member of the former sfpuI of officers also refused to serve again I and therefore was not renominated. | trust that this statement will clear VI 1 the evident misunderstanding.

There wilt be ne happier day than that which brings the announcement that the casualty list is ended.
 The one regret of Mexico must be that peaceful conditions have prevail- ed there as long as they have.
 The man on the corner. says: Self determination is great thing when it comes to Christmas presents. The daily casualty list shows that the Connecticut men were not absent when there was important fighting to be done.
 War savings clamps and early Christmas shopping are two things which should be kept to the forefront these days. A two day embargo has been placed on hogs at Chicago. There are cer- tain kinds which ought to be ruled against forever.

 be believed that even though there are many vessels not a quarter, done, and the shipping board declares. as has already been realized that the wooden vessels are not as desirable as steel ones. that such construction as has been started or such plarerial as has been made ready for such ships will be allowed ta@go to waste.
 There certainly is Q use for the wooden ships even if not in the ser vice in which the government sought to place them. There is going to be much opportunity for sailing as well as steam craft and it seems not un- reasonable that the shipping board can make such disposition of this ma terial and such work as has been done as will partly if not fully offset ihe losses sustained by cancelling the contracts. Wooden ships cannot be entirely disregarded and with yards established and the labor situation improving it is reasonable to believe that private capital will recognize and take advantage of an opportunity even though the plans of the ships undergo alterations.

FOOD FOR SUFFERING HUMAN
 ITY.

As yet we have no definite idea as to just how the food situation Is go- ing to be handled in order that the needy people of Europe, may be given what they require and thar other Eu- ropean peoples may be allowed to re- cefve supplies for the prevention of starvation and disorder. Anyone must realize that it is no easy problem to solve. The situation in any one of them is bad enough but taking them all together the troubles pile up ac- cordingly.
 The task which lies before Mir. Hoover who has undertaken the job of relieving the distress is to deter mine just where the suffering pre- yails and how extensive it is, the amount of supplies which are avail- able in the immediate vicinity and country, to determine how the needed help can be gotten to them the speed jest and what sections should be drawn upon for that purpose. It i; a case of getting in touch with the food situation of practically the en- tire world.
 Even though Mr.N Hoover has mol worked Out his programme he appre- ciates the fact, according to his state. ments. that the worlds food situation is acute and that there is tremen. dous need for conservation, To mee the requirements there can be nS question but what the people of this country are convinced of the wisdom | of saving that suffering humanity fnat 1 get relief. That does not mean tha
 we are going to give to Germany o l that we are going to see that peopl there fare better than many do here eut it means that by saving wher, we can we are going to make avail
 able such supplies that can be use, l to the best advantage where MT Hoovers investigations show tha
 they should be used, whether givei
 away or purchased. There Is still
 chance for much work for the goo, | of humanity and this country neve
 turns a cold shoulder on that.

Much is beings said in England at the present time about the bill of ex- spenhe and damages which must be collected from Germany. Other coun- tFies are likewise making out item. tsed accounts for presentation to the reaee conference. It Is estimated by Lleyds George that the war bill of all tbB allies will amount to &120, ,000, ,00e,- 900 and he has declared that the Huns must pay to the limit of their capac- itY.
 It is to be remembered, however, that the British. Isles at the presen, time are in the throes of a political campaign. Political claims are being set forth by both sides for the in fluence which may be had upon tho Neetian which comes on Saturday oi thls week. There is every reason to believe that the counting of the bal lots will show that the administration of Premier Lloyd George has beer rpusingly supported, but 1t. may be well not to place too much depend- ence upon the demands which will be presented at the peace table unti they are actually decided upon ant put forth In concrete figures.
 f-And even that does not mean tha the claims of any one of the allie will positively be met in full. The, must come up for due consideration by the entire assembly of delegate, and it Is the conference that mus make the decision in accordance witl the capacity to meet them and th probability of fulhlment. There ar, land indemnities possible as an offse to the money claims and the fact t, ba considered that this country is no leokhs for territory or big indemnit, but the future welfare of humanIt, snd the right of self government.

 At Bradford he added, 10000 houses would be erected, and at Bristol 5000. Over twenty other municipal authori- ties had decided to build 1000 houses, and the remainder from 50 to 1000. Tn London the special di; fficulty wa4 the lack of building land.
 Although it is pretty certain that the language used at the forthcoming Peace Congress will be French, off, cially it is probable that most of the British delegates will use her own language. There is no one in high places with quite the exceptional mastery of French as a spoken lang = uage which Sir H. Campbell Banner man could boast.
 There is also the precedent of Ber- lin. The most anxious moment for the Englishmen was when Beacons- field announced that he intended to address the Conference inS French. No one dared to hint. that his ex- ecrable accent would be bar. and the difficulty was only got over by Lord Odo Russell representing that the del egates should not be deprived of the pleasure of listening to an address ir English from an acknowledged mas ter of the laguage.
 1 When all the world is taking the steps towards peace it seems odd that Rumania should declare war or i Germany.
 The forma1ity, for it can be nothing else, is necessary adjustment of in. ternational relations. When Runnanis was cut off from the Allies she wa: forced by Germany to enter into al abominable treaty of peace.

 there would indeed have been dearth in the land.
 Careful search is now being made for the graves of our fallen heroes in France and Belgium and the other theatres of war. Some of the known cemeteries are in good order, whilst others have been damaged by she'll fire but no wilful damage has been done to single grave by the enemy so far as has been ascertained.
 It is now hoped to find some of the graTes of the ''0ld Contemptibles" who retreated from Mons, and Graves Reg istration units have gone to Italy, Gallipoli and other Eastern battle fields. In France alone about thous- and cemeteries and very many thous- ands of isolated graves have to be dealt with. They will be marked and fenced in, and their identity preserved for permanent marking.
 The photographing of graves will now be carried out more quickly, but in many cases cemeteries will require repair and reconstruction before new photographs can be taken.

 Dear me" murmured the young matron who was rolling bandages. 'Thelma must have cheered up a lot since yesterday, then. When I saw her last night she was too blue for words. She said everything had gone wrong with her for weeks
