YOU NC BoOTBIAChS

Probably one Of the most perpleXing questions if not one Of vital import lance except to comparatively few. which has arisen locally, is what to do about the youthful bootblacks who have begun to do quite a thriving bus mess with their little portable boxes and their keen anxiety to Shine, Boss?"
 A moments thought will bring un- derstanding Of the feeling of men who have rented locations where they have established Shoe Shining Parlours. !" They have invested their money in these places and they are dependnt upon their receipts for decent return on the investment The trade es- tablished by the itinerant lads has, of course, eaten into those receipts The owners of permanent stands cannot be blamed for obiecting to the en- croachment on their field by the youngsters.
 On the other hand few people fail Ito admire the spirit which actuated the small boys in taking up this means of making little money. Their re- ceipts have not been estimated, nor may there be q definite statement made as to whether or not the cash they take in is used at home, to help through difficult days; it may be spent for pleasure-which no one begrudges the lads-or for things which they might just as well go without.
 The question remains unsettled, but there is a possibility that it will right itself. With no intention to harm the business of the boys, and with no de- sire to boost the business of the pro- prietors of the more comfortable "par- lours" necessarily, one may say that the two classes, the proprietor and the boy furnish something quite different the one from the other. 1T a man or woman wants shine, in itself, he or she goes out and gets it where the best shine will be procured-and pays ten cents, a legitimate price under present conditions. If a man or woman wants primarily to re- main undisturbed or to stop mo-  ment as a shine" is brought to him or her, he or she calls a boy to the office or stops on the street and takes five cents, and the shine, worth, usual ly, five cents only.
 The boy, in other words, sells serv- ice; the "parlours" sells shines.

CONFERENCE TROUBLES

Shadows of impending reasons for Washington. Yesterday it was reported that Frances unexpected suggestion that she would build ten additional ships of 35,OOO tons each was met by Secretary Hughes with word to France that he would propose for her ratio of 1.75. Today it is learned that Italy will agree to this ratio for herself if France accepts. Ambassador Harvey has seen Briand on the proposal.
 The resignation of the Chinese cab inet at this juncture may be taken as significant, not of the feeling of the country over the manner in which ar engagements in regard to her are pro gressing, but rather showing one of the characteristic reasons why China is in the position she occupies today
 Nothing has been settled in regard to China at the conference. Everything done or proposed is subject to modi- iication or change. It is no time for the cabinet to take a stand that would prevent the advantageous working out of whatever arrangements might be made for her. Refusal to have vision enough to sec the possibilities that lie in the conference will never change China into nation progress. What ever the cause of the resignation at this time, it is not the act of men in spired hy determination to do the best for the nation it is in their power to accomplish.
 No one planes China and the Chin ese for deploring the situation, The sympathy of most men is with her. There is no especially bright outlook ahead nor have the proposals-the "agronments," if you wilI--becn of so promising character as to create great enthusiasm. But notwithstanding these facts the resignation of the cab met is an act characteristic of the people of the land and one which should ho altered if sanity and pro grcss are 10 penetrate that country

CHRISTMAS CAROLS
Singing of Yulctidc Songs Will Be EN- tcnsivc All Over Country This Year --500 Towns Agree.

New York, Dec. 19 (By Associated Press) of carols on Xmas Eve by little groups wandering from street to street will be more exten- sive throughout the country next Sat urday than ever in the past, unless signs noted in musical centers have been misjudged.
 Three years ago a campaign 10 re- Vive and encourage the old custom was begun by the national bureau for the advancement of music and the re- quests that have come to the organiza- ton this fall for suggestions as to cos tunes, carols and other details num- bered twice as many as those of any previous year.
 Officials of the bureau remarked today that plans for Caroling Saturday night are under way in more than 500 American cities and towns. Gen. orally the volunteers are trained by church choristers civic or musical clubs. When the words and music have been learned, the singers are di- vided into little bands of half a dozen or so and these stroll to appointed sections of a city on the night before Xmas.
 Most popular of all the carols is silent Night" Others recommended by the bureau are God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen" "The Little Town of Bethlehem" and Come All Ye Faithful"

characteristic energy and inspired by grateful hearts,
 While the war was in progress these
 men, many of them wounded, oA- haustcd or staggering back from the front, sought the aid of the Salvation Army, More than this, they did not have to seek--the aid was given them, was brought to them gladly and will inEly The workers of the Salvation Army followed the fighters as far as it was humanly possible, bringing their nourishment for body and spirit To the places where it was most need ed. The brave band sought no reward other than the consciousness of the help they were giving The soldiers needed the Salvation Army; the Army responded eagerly.
 Today the Salvation Army needs the eX-servicemen. The situation is re- verseG, and the spirit which was the Armys then is the spirit of the cX- .serviccmen today. Gratitude inspires them and they are doing all that they can to pay the debt they own that or ganizatiou,
 You who did not fight; you for whom the soldiers fought and who, in their battle were helped by this body which now seeks help-you will inn bibe something of the splendid spirit of those soldiers, now relieved of their duty of fighting the foreign enemy, but eX-sodiers who feel that they are not relieved of the debt they owe. They are trying to help pay that debt Every man and woman in the city should feel that the ob- litigation is q personal obligation rest ing upon the shoulders of every true American. Every true American should do his or her share toward paying that debt.
