The Good Fellow Department OF
The Washington Times has a long
list of families-many OF them very
large-which will be bleak and
drear, and sad and gloomy unless
the generous hearted men, women
and children of Washington decree
otherwise. The list is longer this
year than last because of the prev
alance of unemployment. Many OF
the cases OF distress listed with
the Good Fellow Department are
temporary, due to tho inability OF
the wage Garner to supply even the
necessities OF life, much less any
thing that would mean Christmas
to the members of his or her family,
MORE THAN 500 NEEDED.
Are the Good Fellows OF Wash
ington going to allow gloom, sad
ness and disappointment make a
mockery OF the expressions, Peace
on Earth. Good VIII Toward Men,"
and the gladdest day in all the
year" They did not last year. Eight
hundred Good Fellows volunteered 10
provide Christmas comfort and cheer
for persons temporarily or perma-
nently less fortunate than them
selves, and more than 500 are needed
this year.
The Washington Times, through
its Good Fellow Department offers
e direct, straieht-line plan whereby
every Good Fellow can share his
or her Christmas joy with someone
else. Wen you enroll as a Good
Fellow you will be given the name
and address OF needy family. Go
TO the address. talk with the mem
bers OF the family. ascertain their
wants and needs, purchase whatever

morning, deliver your gifts to the
grateful and joyous members OF the
family who otherwise would have
had nothing to differentiate Christ
mas from any other day.
GUARANTEES MERRY XMAS.
This is the surcst and best way of
guaranteeing yourself a merry Christ
mas. You will derive an infinitely
greater JOY from your own Christmas
IL you have, in addition to what Provi-
dcnce has vouchsafed you, the con-
seriousness of having helped some one
else. The tragedy of the empty stock
ing should not be enacted in Wash
ington, nor should any of the old folk
feel that Christmas was not intended
for them and that no one thinks or
care about them.

Wants Nations Misunderstand-

After Seeing Harding.
BY JACK ROYLE.

MARION, Ohio, Dec. 18.-"Any
league or association of nations built
about a governing body which is
supposed to have authority to en-
force its decisions on the members
is doomed to failure" Senator James
Reed Of Missouri, Democrat, said to-
day after his conference with Sena-
tor Harding.
PEOPLE HAVE DECIDED.
The country, he said, had Givcl its
decision in regard to such league in
unmistakable terms, and any man who
failed TO heed that decision would be
breaking faith with the American peo-
cpl
He stated, however, that he favorc d
arrangements either through an AS
sociation or through diplomatic means
for ironing out honest misunderstand-
ings among nations and so preventing
wars. The plan calling for 4 refer en-
DUN on the declaring OF war he declar-
ed to be impossible and impra cable.
1T is all grist in the hopper" SEN
ator Harding said today in discussing
his conferences OF the last two weeks.
we are trying to grind out a product
that will be sustaining and pslatabie
TO the American people"
Senator Harding announced that
he had formulated in his own mind
plan for an international policy
which he believed possible OF accom-
plishment. That plan, he said, had
been placed before many Of his con-
ferees, and he let it be seen that he
was greatly encouraged over the ap-
proval they expressed.
Such approval, he indicated. had
come from men OF every shade OF
opinion. and had been indorsed by
thinkers as widely separated as Will
liam J. Bryan and Senator A. b. Fall.
He let it be known that he awaited
with the greatest interest the COM
ments Of Senator Reed OF Missouri.
with whom he discussed the plan to-
day. The Missouri Senator is an ir-
reconcilable OF the irreconcilables 80
far as the League of Nations is con-
cerned.
II Is felt at Harding headquarters
that Reed sacrificed moro than any
man In public life by his strenuous
opposition to the League and the
Versailles treaty.
some say ! did it TO be stubborn =
Senator Reed said, but Senator
Harding does not agree with that
view"
VIEWPOINTS DIFFER.
Entirely different points OF view
from those OF the Democratic Senator
were encountered by Senator Hard
ing in his other conferences today.
Senator Harry New will spend the
weekend with the President Select
and is expected to discuss at length
the present situation in Congress as
we'll as international affairs. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president OF Columbia
University, was scheduled TO arrive
somo time during the day.

ing It was her belief that the only
proper solution Of the international
situation was TO begin anew instead
OF basing any future plan on the pres
ent league and treaty.

onerates Accused Marine.
BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

INDIAN HEAD, Md, Dec 49,
Two days ago pretty thirteen-year-
old Emma Warder, believing herself
dying from a self-inflicted wound
near her heart, sobbed out that she
had sought death because she had
been attacked by a Marine on her
way home from a moving picture
show.
REFUSES TO ANSWER.
Today. on the road to recovery In
the Naval Dispensary here. she de
clares this story was untrue that the
marine, now under military arrest
never made any attempt to harm ber
that he Is her friend
And when asked to explain why
she did not go home. but was found
wandering about the streets OF tho
town. dishevelled and crying. shortly
before midnight last Saturday, and
why she later surreptitiously took
her fathers revolver from it's hid.
Ing place, locked herself in her room
and tried to end her life, she turns
her face away and refuses to answer
Meanwhile. despite the girls re-
traction OF her charges, and the
declaration that she will not prose
cute. T. l.. Kelley. the marine she
at first accused. still is being held a
closely guarded prisoner. He will
be held. II is said. until further in
vestigation shows whether her origi-
nal or her present story is true. The
girls condition is yet too weak tt
permit even much questioning.
RetraCtiOn of the girls chaYRes
announcement OF which came through
her family. leaves the authorities con
fronted with a mystery which only
the girl herself will explain. and con-
ccrnlnS which she refuses to say one
word.
MYSTERY IN CASE
The authorities would like to know
where the thirtecn-year-old girl was
between o'clock, when, 1t IL said. she
left the moving picture show with
Kelly for "a walk in the woods" and
few minutes before midnight. when
she was found wandering the streets
by Government employe.
They would also like TO know the
exact part a second marine, whom
the girl at first described as her
"rescuer" played in the story After
she had shot herself. the girl at first
SAID Kelley, whom she knew as Tom
Jackson" had attacked her in the
woods, but had been frightened away
by another marine. who heard her
cries for help.
The authorities cannot understand
why this 'rescuer" did not take her
home. She has been asked about this
but refuses to answer.
REFUSES EXPLANATION.
To her own family the girl hal
steadily refused to make any explana-
ton OF her actions on the night OF
the alleged attack. they say. until
after she had tried to kill herself.
four days later. The story she told
then came when she believed she was
dying.
Now she says mono Of il was true
except tho fact that she did take a
walk with Kelley.
Retraction of the story by the girl,
and the announcement from the fam
lily that she will not prosecute Kelley

Yesterday for the first time In

Exchange. That meant stop

Is dead" In the silence came the
announcement that a firm had
failed. Considering what the
stock market has recently done
to its friends, the wonder is that
failures are SO few. The Federal
Reserve, which many financiers
fought bitterly, is now saving their
lives. and all the new money print
ed during the war dance helps to
hold things up.

Suddenly reality cpmes stalk
ing back. Wages drop, work be-
comes scarce. The spending habit
demands satisfaction-hence the
crimes. ,-
The wonder is, all the nations
having set the example OF killing,
stealing, and squandering, that
crimes are so few. Severe punish
ment, without harshness or re-
yenge, will help. Slowly the people
will learn, again, that for the
average man, you must WORK 1t
YOU want to live in this world.
Bear in mind that the chief
criminal is the government that
licensed shameless profiteering
and stupidity encouraged idleness
and extravaganza with its cost
plus" system Of robbing the public
purse.
