age record to date in eastern Europe,
where third Of the child popula-
ton is fatherless and motherless. as
the result of the war. or course,
tifty-three children could not actual
ly occupy. three beds, but \that was
all that was available in one orphan
age in a factory town west OF War

three had to sleep on the floor. wheth-
err they were well or, as it was In
most instances. i'll.
But this was not the worst hard
ship the little ones suffered" report
e.. the relief worker who discovered
their plight. '''rhey were on the
verge of starvation. When ] was
there they had not had a full ration
of bread for three weeks. More than
half of them, also. were tuberculous.
for under-nutrition is fast producing
a race of consumptives in Poland. y
TO overcome this situation so far
as may be and care for countless
thousands Of other suffering children
in Europe, eight great American re-
lief agencies have combined under
the name Of the European Relief
Council in an appeal for 1913 100000
to carry out the work already begun
for their rescue from a winter of
horror.

FRoHN RESIDENTS ENJOY
COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE

=
Last night the residents of south
east FROM township were treated to
a most interesting Christmas enter
tainment. The exercises were held
in the Aardahl church which had been
decorated for the occasion while a
monster tree provided with a pro-
fusion Of decorations completed the
Christmas scene.
The program Of Rotations, dia-
logues and songs were very well ex-
ecuted, holding the attention Of the
large audience throughout the eve
ming. A tab1eau and dialogue by sew
eral girls and boys with a flag draped
figure of America as the chief char
acter was exceedingly well done.
Following the exercises the tree
was lighted and gifts distributed to
young. and old after which treats
were given to all including literally
bushels Of the best apples. A WISH
tor remarked that never before had
he seen such a prodigality of Christ
mas treats at d community Christmas
tree. s~,., y-.-,4...s ..~.,
The program was read by Rev.

with appropriate scripture and re-
marks. Missionary Cummings also

"Fifty-seven Varieties" Are
Captured in Raid on
Hurley, Wisconsin
WILL BE ARRAIGNED
BY SUPERIOR MARSHAL
Big Majority of Men Held Are
Italians, Greeks
and Sicilians
(By United Press)

Ashland, Wis, Dec. 9.-"Fifty-
seven varieties" Of liquor law violat-
ors in the Ashland county Jail here
today muttered and mumbled against
the law that closed their places of
business at Hurley and herded them
here for arraignment.
They are not yet formally under
arrest, it developed and therefore
cannot be- arraigned until Deputy
U. S. Marshal Pugh of Superior ar
rives on the II o'clock train to per-
form that function.
The liquor agents who herded the
men into the pullman cars and
brought them here carried warrants,
but it is not their function to take
their men before the judge for ar
raignment.
One man was missing when the
train arrived last night. 1t is belev-
ed he left the train at 1ronwOod. The
train was not closely guarded.
About four-ffths of the men ar
rested are italians or Sicilians.
Agents said there were few Greeks
and Finlanders.

GERMANY REFUSES TO
DEMOBILIZE GUARD
Declared that Allies Are Deter.
mined to Conclude
German Issues
(By United PreSS)

Paris, Dec. 29.-(By Henry WOODY
-Rumors of war are again circulate
ing in the council chambers of Eu-
rope. These reports center about both
Russia and Germany, the latter being
concerned in the formers martial
preparations, while the bolsheviks
are said to be massing troops along
the western frontier in readiness for
the spring drive against the anti-bol-
keeping steady stream of munitions
shevik states.
The Germans are alleged to be
moving toward Moscow. Meanwhile
Germanys refusal to demobilize the
citizens guard has brought serious
situation to climax, including the
possibility of allied occupation of the
other parts Of Germany.
In French official circles, it is de-
clared that the allies are determined
to carry the issue to Il conclusion with
Germany, which so far has evidenced
no signs of yielding. Allied military
leaders arc understood to be in daily
conference here.
Prospects of another major cam
paign by the bolsheviks are consider
cd likely The allies are reported
to be shaping their policies with this
contingency in view. The allies also
are declared to be anxious to main
tain a solid bulwark OF border states
against the bolslfeviki. Esthonia and
Latvia are recognized as friendly
but Lithuania is leaning toward Mos;
COW.
Paris Dec. 2S. RumOrs Of new
wars are floating about European
chancellories today. Germany conf
plicated the situation today with a
brusQue reply to the allies demand
for disarmament of the citizens
guard. The German reply linked the
allies demand with the Brussels H.
nancial conference They declared
the conference could not be success
full "untler such exaggerated de-
munds."
The formal reply was handed I"
the Italian and French ambassadors.
The hint that the financial confer
ence might be broken off was made
orally. French officials here called
| the German linking of economic and
political questions shameless and de-
clared there might be grave cOmpli-
cations.

SEEK SCALP OF MAYOR
THOMPSON OF CHICAGO
(By United Press }

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Thoush Mayor
.Williaf Hale Thompson's term does
not expire for more than two years,
democrats claim they have discovered
a flaw in the law whereby a four year
mayorality term was authorized
which would end Thompson's term
next spring and force new election.
AS result OF the discovery the
democrats are considering d plan
whereby they would institute court
proceedings in an effort to force the
Chicago Board of Elections to call a
mayorality election.
Democrats see in this a hope OF
landing the prize for themselves, be-
cause of a split in republican ranks.
They have already started groom
ing candidates and there is a strong
movement to stage a come back for
Carter II. Harrison, several times
mayor Of Chicago.
Should the democrats be successful
in upsetting the law on terms of may
UrS it would mean that mayorality
elections would have to be held in a
of Illinois cities.
