Eastward

London, Jan. 34.-via Montreal
The entire situation IN Poland is
very difficult, according to the Pol
ish viewpoint. Eastward the Ger
mans are falling back, and, it is
said, are handing over arms and
ammunition to the Bolsheviki, and
are not permitting the Poles to take
suitable measures for their own de-
fence. 1t is asserted also that Ger
man troops are being sent from the
interior of Germany with tht object
of fighting the Poles.
1t is declared that Ukrainians to
the number of $4,000 have attacked
the Poles in the vicinity of Lemberg.
1t is believed the Ukralnians desire
TO obtain possession of the disputed
territory before the decision of the
peace conference can be promulgat-
ed.
In Esthonia Bolsheviki appear
somewhat disorganihed. partly ow-
ing to the trouble in Petrograd and

SURPLUS CUT TO
\ KEEP PRICE UP !,
OPERATOR SAYS
Good Protection Not to Create
Coal Surplus. Lehigh Of
ficial Admits

| Pottsyi1le, Jan. 24.-Anthracite
coal operators do not create a sur
plus because such condition would
lower prices.
Producers are opposed to running
up surplus as a matter OF good
business protection to the anthracite
operators.
These facts today stand out in the

price of coal and alleged shortage
of domestic sizes of that article of
fuel. Such statements were made

She Northwestern Mining Exchange
Company, the New York, Susque-

fed that only about two-thirds of

Christmas Presents
That Please Men

II Asst Christmas many man de-
cided his feminine friends were
not worthy of the vote simply be-
cause they sent him such foolish, in
appropriate gifts. On the other hand,
a successful present makes an impress
sion that never wears off. 1t is lit
tie monument to the taste, intelligence
and affection of the giver.
Among the following suggestions is
almost certain to be something which
will please any man:
If he shaves himself, one'of the light,
magnifying shaving mirrors which can
be quickly and easily attached to q
window or wherever the light is good.
A trousers rack will please him great
ly, especially if he is bachelor and
his closet room is limited.
The furniture and department stores
carry fiat, wide, shallow cedar chests
on wooden wheels which roll easily out
from under the bed. This is particular
~ adapted to the college boy in his lit
tie dormitOry room. For him also a
sweater is joy.
A small kit of tools is good present
for almost any man unless he is car
penter or a paralytic. One to half 2.
dozen pairs of shoe trees are an mex
pensive but grateful present.
In case he has electricity in his house
there is no end of good things for him
coffee percolators, bread coasters, CT
gar lighters, etc.
If he has car you may charm him
with one of the new-fangled pneumatic
or other cushions which are now sold
to reinforce the upholstery of the car.
A lap robe or a vulcanizer or vacuum
bottle or even a new horn may be just
the thing for him.
Very likely he has telephone. II
so get a little mahogany card index
file and have some one preferably
you) look up the telephone numbers of
the people in his address book and
write them on the cards.
A fountain pen for his desk would
prove convenience and delight.
Should you care to pay $40 you can
surprise and please a man who has
little bit of accounting to do at home
by giving him pocket adding machine.
For about the same price you can buy
him a real, fool proof, portable shower
bath.
Metal wastebaskets are appreciated
by men because lighted cigar or ciga-
rette dropped into them is not likely
to bring the FIRE department.
A frame for a cabinet-sized proto-
graph will not be amiss if you are sure
he wants your picture in it.
But don't send him a necktie, nor a
scarfpin, nor a matchbox or he'll new
er forgive you; also restrain yourself
from inficting pearl-handled pen
knife, pocketbook (unless you are old
and richer and can put something
into it) or box of cigars just as good
as the kind he smokes.-New York

something like a jovial feeling is not

Christmas of LOngAgO

With gaze appraised the sages,
Poor shepherds bending low:
A rapture to light the ages,
Christmas of long ago.

Who bore no diadem;
To the lords of earth a stranger
Outcast of Bethlehem!
Thy message came to the lowiy:
Thy star was sent to the wise.
And peace" and Love" were the holy
Words from the midnight skies.
They filled the heart Of one other.
To it's own sweet overflow:
Peace and love to the mother,
Christmas of long ago!
Has Times dust dulled its glory?
Have tear mists blurred its rays?
Is it now too old story
For hurrying, changing days?
Oh, ever our hearts shall hearken
To the angels chant above,
And never shall distance darken
The star that shines in love.
And ever shall smile the mother,
Mother whose child was God;
God, who took man for brother;
Brother our ways who trod
Forever In joy completer
Shall tho clear, glad message show.
And its angel voice sound sweeter-

We do not want to make Poland the

be the strongest weapon in the hands
of the Bolshevists. Such soldiers
