A NEW YEAR WORD
OF THANKS

May I, as president OF the
Associated Charities, send a
word of thanks through The
Star on this New Year day to
all who have responded to the
Christmas opportunity appeal
of the organization?
The year 1928 will be brighter
and happier in these fourteen
homes because of the alI-the-
year-around Christmas cheer
that $50 contributors to date
have provided by their gifts.
While the full amount re-
quested is not yet in hand, we
can assure all who have shared
in this Christmas Offering that
every effort will be made TO
carry out the purpose of the
fund so that none of the fifty
three children in these oppor-
tunity homes need be separated
from their mothers because of
any shortage in the response.

to their assistance. In official quar-

ton as to what may develop in 1923

Some Germans go SO far as to say
that the nations fate will be decided

may fall a prey to any or all o. the
following calamities: A further de-

lowed by unemployment, shortage of
food and clothing and consequent
rioting; serious differences between
Germany and the allies as the result
of Germany's inability to pay it's
reparations debts and French occupa-

This would make Germany's in
ternal situation still more critical. 1t
is feared that German fascist or Ger

Secretary Weeks Message.
''On previous New Years." said Sec
retary Weeks, there may have been
some justifiable doubt as to the prac-
ticability Of making effective the ma
tional defense act OF 1920, wherein
provision is made for an army of the
United States composed of the Regu-
lar Army, the National Guard and
the organized reserves, and addi-
tional training facilities in the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps and
the citizens military training camps.
Today, l know that this plan is en-
tirelg practicable"
After praisiug the response of the
various units enumerated to the plan
outlined in the national defense act,
Secretary Weeks said, However. the
public must indicate its approval OF
such policy

eign governments are thoroughly in
