SOCIALISM DECLARED QUICK

LONDON. May 17.-An excited con-
tributor to the Deutsche Tagezcitung
asks tho question why socialization
must occur. and after giving and dis
missing various alleged reasons, decides
that 1t Is simply the suicide OF Ger
many. The contributor says:

we really think that specialization will
restore some kind OF settled order In 4

prefers no eat and drink what he
knows will do him most harm. and
hasten his end or who even reaches
out for q draught OF poison TO finish
quickly his fickerinE life?
Germany Is sick. sick In every nbre
OF her body. and In the madness Of
fever she dances dance Of death
around her own grave.
"She knows that she Is sick, and
that tho only remedies which could

URGE REMITTANCE
 FOR SEALS BY MAIL
Checks Have Been Received for Only Half Number Mailed Out,
 Says Dr. Eaves

Approximately half of the Red Cross Christmas seals sent out through the mails to citizens of Jefferson county have not been accounted for, and Dr. George Eaves, secretary of the nti-Tuberculosis association, made public request yester- day that all who desire to make remit tances send in their checks as soon as possible.
 Replies to the letters are still coming in to the associa ton, and the total of contributions now in hand is approxi- mately Si0,000. With additional sums con- ing in from the schools of the city. and the county, and more remittances ex- pected by mail it is considered lkel- that $20,000 will be realized from the en- tire Christmas seal campaign. The quota originally assigned for Jefferson county was $50,000 and it is expected to raise the remainder at later date through so- licitation among the business interests
 Encouraging letters have been received with the contributions made by mali to the anti-tuberculoss cause. The Furnas Ice Cream company. in addition to its purchase of seals, treated the 10 patients of the tuberculosis sanatorium on Red mountain to ice cream for Christmas dn- ner
