RED CROSS RELIEF
IN THE FAR EAST
Bring Food and Supplies to
Czech0- SIovakS in
Siberia.

"HE American Red Cross has be-
come very active in that part OF
Russia surrounding Vladivos-
tok, and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed country has
resulted in saving thousands of lives.
The rescue work done by the Red
Cross for the CzechO-Slovak refugees
has assumed prodigious proportions
and is daily becoming greater in scope.
Cabled advices received from Vladi-
vostok report that more than 10000
CZecho-Slovak refugees, 1000 of them
children, are now being cared for by
the AmericamRed Cross at that city In
addition to this relief work, the cables
state that the Red Cross Medical or
ganization is attending hundreds Of
wounded CzechO-Slovak soldiers who
have reached VladivOstOk after weeks
of the most desperate fighting against
the prO-German forces.
The condition of the refugees, who
were found living in tents and freight
cars along the Chinese Eastern Rail
way west of Hardin, was pitiable. A
majority of them are farmers, though
there are many coal miners and rail
way employees in the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the BOlSheviki, and some German and
Austrian war prisoners.
The work of administering to the
wounded CZecho-Slovak fighters, who
steadfastly refused to recognize the
BOlsheviki-German peace, and reliev-
ing the distress of the homeless civil
fans was started the moment their
plight was brought to the attention of
the American Red Cross. The relief
work was directed by Charles X. Mo-
ser, American consul and head of the
Red Cross chapter at Hardin. Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid.
While waiting for instructions from
America, they went ahead and raised
funds In Vladivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
civilians.

Red Cross, DR.. r. B. TeuSler, head OF

Don't give presents which will be

Don't forget the mistletoe. Ro
nance still lives,
Don't forget that it ought to be

Don't deny the little ones ideas
about Santa Claus.
Don't worry about unpaid bills

Don't scott at the lingering super
stitions of the good old days.
Don't for the show of things,
buy presents which you can't afford
Don't expect too many presents.
Take what you get and be thank
flu.
Don't if you get up on your
wrong side, make everybody else
miserable.
Don't forget to think at least once
during the day what Christmas
really means.
Don't give a present unless you
want to. Better not give at all
than give insincerely.
Don't forget that the giving of
Christmas boxes, like charity, should
begin at home.
Don't if you are a girl, stand
under mistletoe until you see the
right chap approaching.
Don't kiss somebody else's best
girl, even though she is under the
mistletoe. There might be a row
Don't work on Christmas day il
you can avoid it. If you have to,
however, don't make song about it.
Don't give Johnnie trumpet and
Peter a whistle and expect to have 8
quiet time. It's unreasonable.
Don't put off buying presents
until the last minute You'll get
better value and avoid crush ifyor
shop early.
Don't send an electric runabout

ALLENBY STOPS
CRAFT OF TURK
Persecution Of ArmenianS and
Confiscation of Property Pre-
vented by English Officer.

The most arbitrary city boss in the
world, 1t seems safe to say, as well as
the most INSCRIPTIONS politician of
modern times, has turned up in Aintab,
Armenia, to Judge from an official re-
port recently made by Major Stephen
Trowbridge, under Gen. Edmund 81. Il.
Allenby's orders.
He is a Turk named Besim Bey. Until
the Near East Relief agents stopped
him, he practiced upon the terrified
Armenians such forms Of super-graft
as might well make every other cor
rupt politician In the world green with
envy, and sucn cruelties as make all
other heartless rulers, from Nero
down, seem sweet and gentle char
acters. His office was that of Munic-
ipal Chief Accountant of Aintab; but.
as all dishonest office-holders know,
1t isn't the job that matters, but the
sugar-plums that go with it. Beslm
Bey plucked sugar-plums with both
hands, night and day.
Even inspired city bosses have their
day. Besim Beys came when the
Near East Relief agents found that no
thorough Armenian relief work could
be done in that city while such condi-
tons of terrorization existed. General
MacAndrew ordered the arrest and
removal Of the SIX worst Turks In the
ring that ruled the city, and Beslm
Bey qualified, as usual for first. lace.

Don't look panied when some
body tells fifty-year-old Christmas
story. That's one of the unavoid-
able circumstances of the festive
season.
Don't give a new song to some
one who doesn't sing; but be still
more certain that you don't give a
new song to someone who imagines
he can sing.
Don't refrain from giving because
you can't afford to give much.
The intrinsic value of gift counts
for nothing. 1t is the thought
which prompts it that matters.
Don't let the wife give you a
Christmas presents in the form of
cigars. If she persists in doing so,
don't somke them-give them
