was a great industrial power even

that his boldness induced him to take

in the discount rate might have ruin

years thereafter he was director of

the cruisers Goeben and Breslau with
the coal which enabled them to reach
Turkey. 1t was he also who provided
Italy with coal in an endeavor to pre-
vent her entering the war. The same
was true of Holland and Scandinavia.
Fostered War Inventions.
SHINES fostered all inventions that

paper for munitions cotton. and even

SHOP.EARLY APPEAL.

With Christmas less than a month
away, the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association last night issued
it's annual appeal to the people Of the
District to do their shopping early.
Charles ]. Columbus, secretary of
the association, said last night that
the crowds in the stores during the
past week indicated that many families
already are taking advantage of the
opportunity to avoid the last-minute
ruch. He urged all who did not start
last week to start out tomorrow.
Housewives who can do so will add
to their own comfort and to the con-
venience Of working men and women
by shopping during the morning
hours, Mr.. Columbus pointed out.
Early morning shoppers will find 1t
easier to make selections.
Half the JOY Of the Yuletide season
is taken away, Mr.. Columbus believes,
by the annoyance of last-minute buy
ing.
