HEALTH OF FOFDER
 KAISER IS IMPROVING

Amerongen, Holland, Dec. 24.-- William Hohenzollern's health shows marked improvement, but he is still compelled to exercise the great est precautions owing to the pere- tratins and damp, cold weather.
 Since Saturday the former emper or has not left his apartments, bn: his retainue at all meals. He occu- nies other reriCds of the day in read ing hundreds of letters reaching him from all rarts of the world. He re- and these rarely evoke a reply. Sev- eral days during his illness the eX- enarer saw only his wife and hi immediate attendants. The former empress also rema inS 1 in her apartments, not even going into the gardens within the surrounGins meats.
 This morning Christmas tree was brought to the castle for tonight's celebration which will be a most un- pretentiOuS affair.
 Those participating besides the eN emperor and empress will be nu,a- Der of officers who resigned thelr commissions in. the German army 70 remain in the vicinity of their for mer ruler in retreat, and household servants and orderlies.
 Several of these officers were nusy throughout the day arranging the de- tails of the celebration in which Ccunt Bentinack will participate. They ru- chased presents which the former en- eror and empress will exchange ac- "Crding to custom, and a,so gifts for heir attendants.
 The ex-emperor is as yet undecided about making a public declaration and :tiH declines to receive any cores "Cndents.

BITTER INVECTIVE
 AT WILSON IDEAS

New York, Dec. 23-Asserting that President Wilson had sailed for Flu rope in eager pursuit of the cn- tangling alliances, against which Washington warned the nation, Colonel George Harvey denounced the league of nations plan, in an ad- dress tonight at the 18th annual din- ner of the New England society for the city Of New York.
 Would we not better still the fer ment in Mexico and Peru and Chile and San Domingo and Costa RiCa," Colonel Harvey demanded, -'befcre attempting to foist everlasting peace upon the Balkans? Have we no vital problems within our own bcun- 1aries crying for solution?"
 Recalling "a precisely similar ali aDce that came into existence in 1872 ,'' Colonel Harvey quoted Daniel Web ster's speech, in which he opposed the preservation of peace 'by brineir ? the power of all governments to bear upon all subjects
 Have times so changed he asked. that we owe it to humanity to toss our cherished republic into the melt 'ng pot, to be mashed into a pulp Of international socialism,"
 Colonel Harvey also opposed the program of mo indemnities'' for the United States, asserting that for the United States to refrain fro mconcct- ing the nearly $3O,00O, O,OOO,OOO tae war cost, would be tantamount to a voluntary contribption to the war fund of Germany"

FEAR AND FLU"

It must be admitted that the New Thoughters'' who insist that the flu is mosly fear are probably right. At any rate, many psychologists and many good physicians every good physician is a Psychologist agrees with them.
 It need not be assumed that there is necessarily any occult mystery about the matter. New Thought and Christian Science and Theosophy all indicate that thoughts are things, and that the image of a thing in the mind is likely to attract that thing whether it be fortune or disease. There may be more in that than

one may not understand that spirit unless one is of it. To be a con- ponent of the great comradship is to place ones self in position where one may feel it's kindliness radiating from center to circumference, and back again to the center.
 It is not enough to be able to say T gave to the Red Cross." How much more satisfactory to be able to say: T am the Red Cross," for member is a part of the whole as the drop is to the ocean.
 To give a dollar at Christmas, cn the birthday of the man who preach ed the gospel of humaneness, to the organization which served and saved innumerable lives is but a meager manner of expressing ones gratitude, first, that the war is over, and secondly, that it ended so glorious ly and with so little loss of lives in America.
 Takes Care of Children
 The work of the Red Cross is not ended with that of the fighters and the peacemakers. It's big work is really hut beginning It must now turn to the stricken lands where flame and scourge were abroad last Christ mas and rebuild, literally, from the blood-soaked sCil upward. It must feed little children whose fathers lie un- der the sci, and it must give hope to mothers Of these children. It must provide food and clothing and es- tablish the means of livelihood to these who must take up the burden of life as it was interrupted more than four years ago.

The American Red Cross is asking every man, woman and child to be- come a member of it's organization at Christmas. Membership is enc dollar year.
 Surely it were an ungrateful and an unima aginative person who would not respond to the appeal of the Great est Mother of Them All.
 For the Red Cross never swerved in all the years of war. It hurried to the relief not only of war sufferers, but of peoples bowed down by tanlne, pestilencs and flood. In the recent epidemic of influenza it was an angel of practical mercy. It has gone to the waste places of the earth and taken succor to nlenforgotten by huI Imn,ty.
