 Nelson, Editor)
 With the spirit of Christmas in the air we are ell getting ready for the festive day in one way another. Some donig their Christmas shopping early and others still making out gift lists. The press paragraphers of the Nations newspapers are also getting into action and pennng witty workings about Christmas and the holiday So we take a shopping trip with the newspaper paragraphers. We start down the main street Christmas shopping tour and there's a r. / The chestnut roaster's whistle at the corner, telling you that the worms done i A-(New York Evening Mail . t5s and little later, smile on hearing this r },i Old lady, after waiting in a confectionery store for ten minutes, growing inpatient: Here young lady, Who waits the nuts?" -(Everbodys Magazine)

HELP THE CHILDREN OF FRANCE.


 sHersert Hoover. Chairman of the European Relief Council. through Gov Riggs and organization se- lected by him. have asked the people of Alaska to subscribe the $33 0000 900 fund for the relief of starving children in Europe. It is said that $500 O00 children of Europe will starve if something Is no done quickly to relieve them It is estimated that $10 for each child will provide sustenance until ether harvest time.
 These the representations of men who knov what they talking about. They not sensa- tional rumors. MT. Hoover would not ask the Ameri people for money if 1t not needed, anA take the position that it time for Europe t. 70 ho work. and support herself This is condition hoEeYer and not theory. These children ar actually facnG staryation,a and Europe has not thN od 10 .slgFe them. e9f
 SAlaskans should do their share in this they have in other world charities. There has been no quota allotment to Alaska any section of Alaska Fverybdy is requested to give what he can
 It is pointed out that time is very mportan in this matter. The need Is a present one, and the quicker the money is given the gerater will b the good that will from it.
 We assured by MT. Hoover that the money will be well spent, and distributed where is needed None of it will be wasted, and of 1t will be mis directed. The standing of those in charge of the distribution is a guarantee that good faith will be with the European children.

One striking way of pointing out how lightly got off is to say that Germany alone lost commissioned officers Killed In acton than did all ranks.
 But did we get off lightly? Only the basis of Idehumanized statistcs-by much and no more Ask blinded soldier taking training at Baltimore whether we got off lightly. Ask him if it doesn't make his lot easier to know that America had c bare hundred and fifty made sightless by war as against .Europes thuosands. But do not expect him to yes.
 The only bearing which statistical comparisons have the is indicate the relative simplicity of Americas disabled problem. The richest country h the world and the fewest cripples to for! The number of Americas disabled men concerns only the detailed administration of Americas duty After that good-by arithmetic and enter the moral factor The moral factor concerns the obligation itself.

Japanese newspapers think Senator Borahs plan to have the United States, Great Britain and Japan enter into an agreement to limit the construction of naval vessels an excellent idea. They contend. however that such agreement should not interfere with the Japanese naval program for it, they assert is legitimate. In other words they would like to see the American British curtailed but Japan to go on-presumably until Japan has the strongest navy in the world.
