sLEIGHING PARTY

Wednesday night was beautiful winters night in Douglas and party Of young folks decided that it was ideal for a slcighing party. The Griggs- McRac cutter. with four horses hitchcd to it. was hired and full sleigh load Of young folks piled aboard bound for a good time.
 To the accompaniment of the jngling sleigh bells d start was made and the party went way out inc government road. came back to town and then to Trcadwcll and back. The cutter was made warm by many thicbncscs of straw and canvas Cthis kept the feet of the party warmJ. Any hand that got cold was made warm by being held Scy- cral threatened fro8tbitcn fingers were prevented just in time. The horses and the driver ull were pro- yided with binders SO they could not see what was going on behind them.
 Al one stage of the ride the horses started to run away, having become frightened at the chirping rpise which they thought was the driscr urging them on. lt wasn't al- though it sounded like it
 After the slcighing was over the party went to the Eagle hall. where dancing was one of the features as well as various young folks games
 Lunch was served some time after midnight and the party broke up short time afterwards.
 Witch hazel was the popular lo- ton i'm Douglas the day after Che party. as the rather cool wind ot Wednesday night caused many lips and checks to become rather chappcd.

RED CROSS AND PROBLEMS
 CONFRONTING THE WORLD

Nearly two months have elapsed since Che signing Of thc armisticc,
 and while Che diplomatic agents of the United States and the Allied Na- tions are engaged in arranging thc prclimiuarics of the peace confer cnce. attention is being drawn more and more Co the distress crying for relief through out the world The fires that caused thc holocaust have been cxuuguishcd or have burned out; but Che extremity of human misery is only beginning to Doc real izcd.
 One of the important questions of thc hour concerns the part which Che American Rcd Cross and the oth- or Red Cross organizations of the world shall play in dealing with the relief problems that are pressing for solution. and that will continue Co. demand systematic consideration m- tH the world has been restored Co something like its normal self On thc principle that necessity knows no law. the emergencies that arc pre- sentcd will Doe dealt with through the agencies already in operation. without waiting on the formaIitics of national or international govern mental action. The Red Cross, for instance. naturally win give its aid where the call is urgent and impcra tive. the same as it did throughout the continuance of hostiIiues. The problems, however hinge for their solution upon governmental sanction or direction in one form or another: and in consequence the Red . Cross will live cxpectant with regard Co thc'mnctiou it will be called upon to perform.
 Generally speaking. the requests for help thus far have been for three ! purposes. In the first place there arc calls Co relieve Che refugee prob :. lcms Of almost an of the Allied Ma . tions. Millions of persons have been driven from pillar to post by Che various fortunes of war of their re- spective countries. and in conse- qucnce Che ncryc-rackcd populations l are possibly more distracted than ever. in the reaction from the excite . meut Of war. as they face the prob l Icms of direct future interest Co them personally.
 The second class Of appeals in- wolves the problems respecting allied . prisoners in Germany and Austria. especially those regarding the Rus elan. French, Italian and English prisoners.
 And the third class of requests embraces appeals for assistance either direct or indirect, to Che Gem tral Powers, which have been the l cause Of an Che problems with which the world must now contend
 In Russia the problem is very great. and the best that can be done there. for Che time being, in the opinion of those who are studying the question. is Co continue work l along the lines already inauguratcd which has been of great vaule.
 Poland is almost the only country where the American Red Cross is not formally represented, and there is talk of sending a small commis- sion there. with supplies which can be obtained from the Red Cross rtorcs in Europe. Communication already has been had with the of- fcial Polish relief body in France. and the turning over Co that body of a quantity of medical supplies is| under consideration. Some supplies of this kind have already been fur uished from Italy

 By Telephone Lines
By Associated Presa


 Indianapolis, January 22-Gov. James resources of his office back of the fight of the Indiana public service commits sion against the new long distance tele- phone rates ordered by Postmaster General Burleson. After conference with the commissioners and representa- tives of the department of the attor- ney general of Indiana, Governor Good. rich issued a formal statement :n which he criticized government control of wire communication systems and Post. master General Burleson's actions. The statement concluded:
 "The country, at least the great cen- tral part of it, as evidenced by the in- terest neighboring states are taking in the matter, demands that there be an end to advancing either personal or po- litical plans for naturalization of util- ities under the guiSe of war measures, and also an end to deception of various kinds of which MT .Burleson's is a fine example"
 The new rates are not being collected in Indiana because of a temporary re- straining order issued by Judge A. B. Anderson of the United States district court. There will be a hearing in the case next Tuesday. Utilities comms- sions of Missouri, Kansas, Ohio and Virginia have notified the Indiana com mission they will send legal advisers to the hearing.

HOLLWEGG TALKS l. ON PEACE QUESTION
Approves President Will sons Exalted Programme
 for Future Restoration
By Associated Press

Berlin, Tuesday, January 21.-Dr. Won Bethmann- Hollwegg, the German chan cellor at the outbreak of the war, has made the following statement to the As sociated Press concerning peace ques- tions;
 T am asked what constitutes a peace of justice. I answer gladly. President Wilson has announced an exalted pro- gramme for the future regulations of in ternational amity and that there shall be an arrangement similar to that which has long been the aim of the policy of all individual states. Just as constitu- tion guarantees to citizen in the ex- ercise Of his fundamental rights as a human protection against violence and freedom and integrity of person and property and honor, so the new league of nations shall assure to all states. great or small, these rights which are conse- iquent upon mutual recognition and re- spect.
 "Only if the peace to be concluded is animated by this spirit can it deserve the name of peace of justice If the victor exploits the distressed conditions of the conquered, violates his body, com pels him to employ his forces of blood and property in enslaved service, he can then it seems, boast his power, but justice will veil her head and the ideal of league of nations will sink into dust and ashes under the domination of a new
 international boshevism.
 What do I think about division of re- sponsibility for the war? My answer is plain. l have precisely the same opinion today which l always have had and which as chancellor I repeatedly ex- pressed in the Reichstag. l have never carried spurious propaganda but have always endeavored to serve the truth ''
 D" Won Bethmann Hollwegg admitted in an interview which he gave in Berlin last November, it may be recalled, that the Germans erred in the administration of Alsace- Lorraine and in paying toe little heed to pan-German activities. He blamed also what he called a false naval policy and many deficiencies in inter- national policies
