WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
FOR 1919 ARE HERE

War savings stamps of the 1919
issue have arrived in Goldfield
and are smaller than those of this
year and also blue instead OF
green. The green is supposed to
have been abandoned because of
the failure of the Emerald isle to
secure home rule, or it may be that
the poor little things are blue with
the cold. However, in January the
government will again present the
people of Goldfield with an oppor-
tunity to purchase the stamps for
$4.12 cash. This year Goldfield
was said to have led the entire
country for a short time in buying
war savings stamps and it is pre-
dicted that January will see an
other big rush for the little
bonds"

BELGIUM IS NOW
STRONGLY UNITED

BRUGES, Dec. II. = The one
time German governor of Belgium,
o Kissing, rendered Belgium a
signal service by Nendeavoring to
exploit his plan of splitting the
country into two parts by his
scheme of Flemish autonomy.
Judged from present indications
it has united Belgium as be-
fore In it's history. Before the
war there was a w~ell-defined
fetish movement, but when Won
Kissing attempted to exploit it the
Flemish demurred, for they feared
the German bearing gifts.
The number of disciples con-
verified to the policy by Won Kissing
is small. Adventures, discomfort
ed office seekers and for the most
part youths, they are no longer in
a position to champion the de-
signs Of Won Kissing.

More Than Paid the Debt.

some OF us will give q second

When the church was dedicated-if
that is the right word-the debt was
$4,000. and the weekly budget $3.50.

In two years the debt has been re-

LONDON, Dec. 16. Demands
made in parliament for informal
ton concerning the policy OF the
entente powers toward Russia have
failed to elicit definite informa-
ton as to the British policy to-
ward the land of the Bolsheviki.
The British press is insistent that
Russia must be helped economical
ly, although it confesses utter
lack of information as to the at
titude of the entente powers to-
ward the existing government in
soviet Russia.
Replying to a question from
Lieutenant Colonel Lord Caven-
dish Bentinok as to the actual con-
ditions in Soviet Russia, Arthur
]. Balfour, the foreign secretary,
said: 1.-THE information at the
disposal of his majesty's govern
ment is to the effect that the de-
liberate policy Of the Bolshevist
government is one of extermina-
ton, by starvation, murder and
wholesale execution of all parties
which do not support their re-
gime."
Lord Cavendish-B entinok then
asked: HAS the government any
alternative to the present policy,
which apparently has no effect
to strengthen the power of the
B%olshevist government"
Mr.. Balfour responded that he
was not aware that anything the
British government has done, OF
has attempted to do, has strength.

FEW STATE LINES CHANGED
Sentiment Has Proved Too Strong,
Even When Good Business Rea-
sons Could Be Advanced.

From time to time proposals are
made to change the boundaries of
states. One is the scheme to transfer
a part of western Florida, extending
for $50 miles on the sea coast, to the
state of Alabama, and another project
Is to annex the northern neck of Idaho
to the state of Washington.
In support of the proposed change
In each case the chief argument adj
vanced is that it would place the re-
gion to be transferred in the state
with which it is most closely allied in
interests. Most of the business of Pen
sacola, the leading city of west Flor
Ida, is with Alabama, and if it were
a part of that state it's importance
would doubtless be heightened. 1t is
also considerably nearer Montgomery
than Tallahassee and nearer Birming-
ham than Jacksonville.
Proposals for rectifying boundaries
as well as for dividing states have
been many, the changes actually made
few. Where historic associations
gather around a divisional line they
are not easily effaced, whatever may
be the commercial considerations work

RUSS ARE PROBLEM FOR ALLIES

what his interrogation meant by
an alternative policy"
Russia's plight was brought be-
fore the house of commons again
the the same day through iiscus-
sion of the future of Armenia
when Mr.. Ponsonby, a labor men,
Der, insisted that Turkish rule
over non-Ottoman races must be
terminated, and asked for a clear
statement on the policy of the
British government toward Russia.
He urged that the British public
should be advised whether a
state of war exists between the
entente powers and Russia; what
the British expedition in northern
Russia is doing; what the inten-
tions of Great Britain are toward
the Bolshevist government, and
whether additional reinforcements
are being sent to Archangel.
Lord Robert Cecil, then under
secretary for foreign affairs, re-
piled that it was impossible to
give any pledges as to what the
military position was, or may be
in Russia without consultations
with those responsible for military
affairs. He said, however, the
government is not inclined to en-
tangle the country, at the close of
the great war, in serious military
operations. The speaker then
commented upon the labor mem
ber's failure to express condem-
nation of the, outrageous pro-
ceedings of the so-called Russian
government"

CHRISTIANIA, Dec. IS. The
Bolshevik faction of the Norweg-
ian socialist party has, since last
spring, exercised a controlling in
fluence over the organization. For
some months this was done more
or less secretly and the objects
aimed at were not made public.
But after the revolution in Ger
many concealment was abandoned.
In speeches at public meetings
and by articles in socialist organs,
laborers we're urged to organize
revolutionary associations, similar
to those in Russia, provide them
selves with arms and be ready for
a revolutionary uprising to over
throw the government. They were
told that they should employ force
and terror to whatever extent it
might be necessary to accomplish
their purpose and establish what
would virtually amount to a mi
nority dictatorship on Bolshevik
lines.

the Bolhevik faction that the lat
ter constitute only a very small
portion of organized labor, but they
declare it is for that reason they
are justified in having recourse
to force because they could not at
tain their aims by parliamentary
methods and lawful forms of agi-
tation.
The president of the labor party
is a Bolshevist and in conjunction
with certain Bolshevists establish
ed a Russian telegraph news
agency here for the ostensible pur-
pose of furnishing the Norwegian
press with reliable" news from
Petrograd.
No date has yet been approx
mately fixed for starting their pro-
posed revolution. The leaders de-
clare it depends on chow things

them openly stated, eff there is no
revolution in England there will
be no use trying one here, for Eng
land would at once step in and

In a statement received at Pa
cific division headquarters from
the Red Cross war council a re-
view of the Red Cross fiscalayear
is given as follows:
It cost the American Red Cross
but two cents of each dollar of
the millions appropriated to oper-
ate the administrative bureaus in
the United States which took a vi
tai part in the management of the
greatest relief program the world
had ever known. For each 81
contributed by the American peo-
pie for war relief work more than
s1.O1 is expended for that pur-
pose, the extra cent being provid-
ed by interest on the funds. These
are two of the striking statements
in the annual financial report of
the Red Cross covering the fiscal
year ending June so, 1918.
All the expenses of operating
the national and divisional head
quarters of the organization whose
sheltering arm has embraced a
large part of the earth in the last
IS months came from a fund pro-
vided by membership dues, the
war fund not being drawn upon
for any but relief expenditures.
The total management expense of
the organization for the fiscal
year was S2,164, S65.
Included in this total was the
amount necessary to maintain the
organization at national h%eadquar-
tiers in Washington, the heart and
brain of the Red Cross, and the
IA divisional headquarters, the ar
teries of the organization running
through continental and territor-
ial United States.
The above total expenditure for
the administrative bureaus at
headquarters was divided as fol-
lows:

however, it Is only a few years since

Restrictions on Fireworks.

To the Ohairmen, County Coun- cils of Defense:
 The action of the Bureau of Mines in releasing the restric- tions upon the sale of explosives does not alter the attitude to ward the sale and use of fire works during the Christmas holidays
 The State Council has e-aflirm ed and empasized the position taken q year ago that the sale and use of fireworks during the holi- day season should be discouraged in every possible way. Aside from the growing opposition in the South to this manner of cele- brating Chris tmas, the discontin- uance of fire works on this oc caison Is urged as Q measure for the conservation of life, limb and property.
