Pent up enthusiasm could not be

Joined in celebrating the signing of
an armistice by German plenipoten-

France. The fly in the ointment was
that the armistice had not been
signed. At first official statements
from Washington refuting the al
legged news were ignored, but as the
afternoon wore on and the Associated
Press declined to confirm what had
previously been wired as authentic by
a news-selling concern, the spirits of
the street throngs became more sub

streets were practically deserted

CHAOS ON THE THRONE.

Russia, the enigma, is on the
threshold of fresh national calam-
ity, a winter without food, a winter
that spells famine and probably
death for millions. This is the penal
ty imposed by anarchy, the punish
ment of an entire country for listen
ing to false prophets, a lesson no ma
ton can afford to ignore especially in
this day when whispering agitators
and demagogues are found the world
over.
Order and responsible government,
national group. are unknown in Rus
STA. There is no car, but every po-
litical leader who holds commanding
influence in that vast land is more
Czar-like than the Romanoffs ever
dared to be. and they dared almost
of the fingers. Property belongs to
the man who can seize 1t and hold 1t
and he must give it up if better
man can wrest it from him. Brute
force is the only law recognized. The
state has disappeared and with it
the rights of the individual Russia
affords the greatest object lesson in
the history of the world of a people
gone mad.
OF transportation facilities there is
none. Millions of bushels of grain
stored in what was formerly the
southern part of the empire cannot
be removed to the large cities in the
north because there are no trains and
no crews to man them if they could
be operated. From the frozen north
srn littoral to the more temperate
southern boundaries the man with the
rifle is supreme. Alone he sits be-
fore his hut, guarding his small store
Of grain raised on his own little plot
and even should he have more than is
necessary for the sustenance of his
family he will not permit it TO be
shipped to the cities. 1t Is his, and
so long as his rifle can speak it will
continue to be his

But, God, I'll do what a man can do
To punish the likes of thew.
Oh, never a Fritz shall sail
On a ship that sails with me,
Never a box or bale
That smells of GERMANY
Never the likes of they
Shall soil the English shore

I used to think that the sailorman,
Whatever his alien breed might be,
Was somehow built on a healthy plan,
And much Of a piece with you and

But men who laugh when a good man
browns
Are made of a different clay,
And I'd sail with the scum of the
worlds worst towns
But not with the likes of they.
No, never Fritz shall sail
On ship that sails with me,
Never a box or bale
That smells of Germany
Never the likes of me
Shall touch the German shore
Till the men who have shamed the

Easy maybe will the world forget
The dirtiest work that these have

The kings may pardon, the priests
may pet,
The carrion thing they now call
But a man who's chung to a drifting
And watched for a sail all day,
He won't forget when there amt no

NEW ENGLAND
GETS HUGE
SHOE ORDERS
Factories There Making d.
100000 Pairs For Sol
diers and Sailors

Boston.-New England. the center
of the nations shoe industry. is
leading to-day in the tremendous
task of putting the Army and Navy
ION their feet''-making shoes for
CUR fighting men.
Government contracts for 21,0OO,-
600 pairs of Army and Navy shoes
have been awarded in New England
alone. and the greater part of these
orders are held by Massachusetts
firms.
The magnitude of the work can
better be realized by the fact that if
the shoes under contract were laid
end TO end they would reach from
San Francisco to Australia, dis
tance of $500 miles.
The price Uncle Sam will pay for
the shoes is between $4.60 and $4.90
pair.
Big plants have added to their
equipment and practically all work
ing throughout the twenty-four
hours, the shifts being broken up
into eight-hour periods. Close to
10000 shoe workers are engaged in
the BroCkton district alone.
Although thousands of pairs OF
shoes are leaving the factories daily,
The output will reach an unprece-
dented height in the early months
OF TINS year. when many of the con-
tracts call for delivery.
The leather upon which the COM
fort and. to a great extent, the ef1i-
cheney of the nations lighting men
depends, is of a high grade and the
work of making the shoes is car
ried out under strict supervision.
Military men agree that next TO guns
and food. well-made and comfortable
shoes are of the greatest importance
in the Army.
The Churchill & Alden Company,
of Brockton. have contracts for
11S,O0O pairs of marching shoes,
while other firms have proportion
ately large orders. The NJ. \. Pack
ard Company has orders for 100000
pairs.
Three firms in the Brockton dis
trict have contracts to supply to-
tai of 10000 pairs of Navy shoes.

What Has Become of
Old-Fashioned Sleighing
Parties of Other Days ?

What has become of the old
fashioned sleighing party? Can it
be that it has become an antiquated
relic of past joys? Is this institu-
ton of red cheeks and cold noses,
of warm hearts and happy faces, to
be forgotten without a protest? A
plague upon these new-fangled no
tions.
Have you forgotten the night you
defied parental authority simply be-
cause your Sallie Jones said she
would so with the party? Surely
You remember how close you sat TO
her. It was to keep warm. you said.
But it really wasn't. And your hand
slipped over to clasp hers, and it
wasn't necessary. She could have
kept it warmer without you. But
neither of you would believe it.
You recall too, the farm house
You stopped at to get warm, and
how you drank the farmers cider,
and how Sallie and you counted ap-
pie seeds. And how about that kiss
YOU stole going home, you haven't
forgotten that?
What beaming faces. What
sparkling eyes! How clear the peals
of laughter sounded in the cold,
crisp air. There comes to the mind
the tribute OF an eloquent Amer
lean: BLOW. bugler, blow, but
know your sweetest strains are dis
cords all, compared to childhood's
happy laughter"
Finally came the homeward ride.
The party was more quiet. more sub
dued. Above were the silent stars,
and now and then you heard the
gruff monosyllable of the unromantic
driver as he hurried the horses.
How you hated that driver. OF
course you were sleepy, for it was
long past bedtime. But you didn't
want him to hurry.
Shall the custom which has given
us all these precious memories fall
before the cruel hand of time? And
without a protest?

RIGHT USES FOR SKIM MILK
None Should Be Wasted as 1t Fur
nishes Maximum Amount OF Food
to Human Beings.
, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

All skim milk should be used-none
wasted. It should furnish the maxi
mum of food to human beings and
does this better when used direct, as
cottage cheese, prepared buttermilk.
or other by-products, than when fed
to animals and converted into meat.
Surplus skim milk, Of course, may be
used economically to feed hogs, yet
100 pounds of it, which will produce
Is pounds of cheese, produce only
4.S pounds of dressed pork if fed with
corn. Skim milk, if made into cottage
cheese, furnishes nearly seven times
as much protein and nearly as much
energy as the dressed pork 1t would
produce. OF course the most nourish-
ment is obtained when skim milk Is
used direct, either for drinking or
cooking. AS far as possible, therefore,
skim milk should be used for human
food and only the excess fed to live
