SUBSCRIPTION RATES One 7 ear Six Months .$9.00 S4.(0 Sunday Only UNCLE SAM MAY STEP IN "OEPORTS that the United States is considering taking an active part in the rehabilitation of Europe have caused great excitement in Europe, particularly in France. In Paris there is much, discussion, according to press cables, as to what the United States will do. " The ( editor of the Temps appear to have little faith in this country. His first published comment on such plans was that they seemed to have been formed in the United States "exclusively for the good of Ger many." Quite naturally, anything that may work out for the good of Germany receives frank condemnation. Just what plans the United States may have regarding the re habilitation of Europe, we do not know. Perhaps aid would first be : 'extended. to Germany; certainly that country is more in need of it than any other. The editor of the Temps, like many other prominent French men, is apparently unable to realize that the war ended nearly four years ago. " In his patriotism he seems to forget that it is absurd to look for any economic or industrial stability in Europe until some finan cial aid is given Germany. Helping Germany would be helping all Europe. Germany was the vanquished, France one of the victors. No fair minded person can question that France is due a great deal from Germany. Yet, when it is known beyond question that Germany can not pay what she owes France, and that Germany is as near the brink of absolute ruin as a nation can be, the position of some French lead ers that Germany should pay or be crushed and that no aid whatever should be extended the former enemy seems out of proportion and ill-advised. Germany must have aid. It is time to forget for the good of all peoples that Germany was formerly an enemy. France, one of the victors, has not displayed any remarkable energy in rehabilitation. There are times when it appears that France is merely milling around getting nowhere, hoping against hope that it will be able to rebuild with Uie reparation it receives from Germany. Whether or not she is entitled to millions from Germany, France must sooner or later awaken to the fact that 6he must forget the war ana get to work, for her own good. Germany can not and will not pay under present con ditions. There is an old adage that a chain is only as .strong as its weak est link. Certainly Germany is the weakest link in the chain of Euro pean countries. And until that weak link is strengthened the chain will be no stronger than Germany. It is unfortunate that, at the very minute the United States is 0 said to be considering straightening out European financial and in dustrial troubles, this government should be criticized. M. Clemenceau has just told us that our actions in tne war were glorious, but that we left Europe too soon after the war ended. Now, it is reported, we are ready to go back and finish up another Job that European nations have been unable to handle. And, with that announcement, the editor of The Temps launches an attack on us because we may see fit to as sist Germany. The editor of The Temps may have forgotten that Uncle Sam as sisted France with several billions of dollars and has since been a most generous creditor; the editor of The Temps may have forgotten that about two million Americans went over to France and saved that nation from being practically obliterated by the German hordes; thje editor of The Temps may have forgotten that thousands of those American are still in France, sleeping beneath tiny white crosses in soil that Is still French soil, thanks to their sacrifices. It would seem that if Uncle Sam now sees fit to take a hand and once more help Europe he should be allowed to do so without being criticized. The Temps may throw !a few journalistic fits because it fears Uncle Sam may extend some aid to Germany, but it appears that unless Germany is given some assistance at once its financial and in dustrial troubles may boil over and scald all Europe, France first of all. Whatever debt the United States may have, once ielt it owed France was more than wiped out in 1917-18. Now the United States is the financial and moral creditor of France, no longer a debtor. When America Cakes a' hand again in European affairs it will be the hand of a neutral, guided by eyes and eyH.ids that can look at Eu rope and decide, impartially, what Is best for France, for Germany, for every other European, nation and for the whole world. MAKING THE DESERT SAFER rpo those who have never been on a desert the word "desert" con veys the impression of & barren waste incapable of supporting life, a perilous stretch of waterless, lifeless land that separates areas of fertile land. "Desert," however, may have diverse meaning, for Home deserts are much more Inhospitable than others. Travel through any wide area desert ig nevertheless fraught with danger, for in such areas springs, wellsand water holes are few and far between, and our American deserts have, year after year, taken their toll of human lire. The recent work of the United States geological survey in map ping certain desert areas in the southwest and in erecting at suitable places signjiosts giving directions and distances to springs and water holes is therefore of special interest. In 1917 the geological survey, under authority contained In an act of congress making a small ap propriation. Tcctc( signposts in the most dangerous parts of our southwestern deserts, giving directions and distances from watering place to watering place. The results of this life-saving work or the geological survey are being published in a series of guidebooks. One of these guidebooks, the third of the series, by C. P. Ross, has just been published. U describes desert w atering places in the , i lower Gila region, Arizona Jncluding approximately the. triangular area between Thoenix. Yuma and Parker- It contains three large maps ' or the region, shaded to indicate the relief and showing the location of the roads, the wells, springs and other watering places, and the signposts erected by the geological survey. The maps are1 the most complete and accurate yet published for thi region.

KEEP CHRISTMAS, BUT KEEP IT SAFE, SAYS LOCAL FIRE CHIEF ON OBSERVANCE OF YULETIDE With the holidays almost here, fire chiefs in most cities are commencing to grow apprehensive. From past ex perience they know how easily Christ mas in the American home can be turned from a time of rejoicing into one of sorrow; for there are many fire hazards peculiar to the season. Fire Chief McKeown of Lowell, shares this anxiety, and he therefore issued today a brief note of advice to the people of this city. "About this time of yaar," said the chief, "the children and a good many grown-ups, too, only they won't admit it are impatiently counting the days until Christmas. Above all other days, Christmas should be an occas ion of universal cheer. It should be, and yet in many households it is likely to become a time of tragedy be cause of death or injury from fire, if care is not exercised. That is a grim thought to associate with the Yule tide, I know, and I hope sincerely that people will understand my position. I am speaking because it is my plain duty to do So, especially since my own experience is backed up by some sta tistics received yesterday from the National Board of Fire Underwriters from which I learn that an average of one in every ten Christmas fires last year resulted in a fatality. Mod erate carefulness will not detract one bit from the fullest enjoyment of the day. "The Christmas tree, is an old and beautiful symbol, and one that should be preserved. But it becomes none the less symbolic when it is made safe; and it cannot even approach to safety so long as it is decked with lighted candles. If the tree must be illuminated, colored electric lights are more ornamental and usually far saf er. Of couvse, a bright light focused on thetree, in a darkened room, is a safe method and gives, perhaps, the most pleasing effect. "It is not only on the tree, however, that candles are dangerous," went on the chief. "Placing them in windows where there are inflammable curtains and decorations, is extremely danger ous. All open flame lights are dan gerous. I am laying emphasis on the candle, though, because, of late, it seems to have come back into fash ion and into my fire records. NEW CALIPH WEARS BUSINESS SUIT INSTEAD OF PICTURESQUE ROBES; WILL NOT HAVE HAREM CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 18. With Abdul Medjid, successor of the deposed Sultan Mohammed VI, possessing the sacred robes and powers of the caliphate, Am erican cartoonists and humorists will have to drop their old concep tion of an Oriental potentate. For Abdul Merjid does not wear the flowing robes and pointed slip pers and turban of his forebears. He appears ordinarily In a Euro pean business suit, the only Ori ental touch being given by his red fez. Nor does the'new caliph recline on silken cushions drawing puffs of perfumed smoke from a gurg ling narghile. Abdul Medjid is an active man and his favorite smoke is a cigaret which he in dulges In rarely. No Harem For Him And wonder of wonders! the new head of the Moslem faith will not be the possessor of a harem. The caliph has but one wife though the law of the Koran al lows him four and Oriental tradi Sowings of Winter Wheat Reported to Be Third Largest WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. (By the Associated Press) Winter wheat sow ings this fall, estimated by the depart nient of agriculture today at 46,069,000 acres are the third largest ever plant ed by the farmers of the country, but the conditions of the crop is some what low. being 8.4 points below the ten year December first average con dition. The crop reporting bureau made no forecast of the probable produc tion, but an' unofficial estimate, based ou average abandonment during this winter and average conditions prevail ing until harvest, places production at from 575.000,000 to 600,000,000 bush els. The plantings this fall of winter wheat are about one and one-half mil lion acres less than the revised esti mate of the plantings a year ago, and about 5.400,000 acres less Hihii those of the fall of 1918 when the record area was sown. They exceed the av erage sowing. TURKS LIFT EMBARGO ANGORA. Doc. 18. The Ketnalist government , has decided 1 to" lift tye. embargo" ou the departure' of Chris tians from Anatolia.

No damage was reported. "Of the fact that fire insurance pro tection may be voided by the intro duction of hazards not contemplated under the policy, I have made no men tion. Such, however, is the case, and ' this possibility supplies a further rea son for carefulness. "Here are a few additional precau tions which I urge the public to ob serve, in homes, in stores and else where: "Make sure that Christmas trees are securely set up, so that they will not topple over, and keep tbem away frofti heating and lighting fixtures. Use metal tinsel, flake asbestos and powdered mica for snow effects, in stead of paper clippings and cotton. Smokers should be extremely careful with matches and smoking material while near trees and decorations. Ever greens should be removed Immediate ly after Christmas before they have completely dried out. "Avoid toys requiring alcohol, gas oline or kerosine for their operation, and also flimsy motion-picture ma chines using inflammable films. Low priced electrical playthings, too, should be tabooed, since they often are defectively wired and frequently have insecure, dangerous connections they have caused serious burns and fires. "If Santa Claus Is to be present at the celebration, persuade him to avoid the use of long cotton whiskers- His costume should be partially fire proofed by spraying upon it a solution of waterglass, obtainable at any drug store. "If anyone's clothing catches fire, he should be promptly rolled in a rug or woolen cloth In order to smother the flames. Keep the flames away from , the face. "Merchants should free their places of business from rubbish and paper accumulations, and should insist that employes keep all' exits clear. It is difficult to keep stock-rooms tidy dur ing the busy holiday season, I realize, but It is well worth the extra effort. "Finally," said the chief, "let every individual do his utmost not to spoil the merriment of the day. No one I wishes to hear the chimes of Christ mas converted into the jangle of the fire alarm.". tion permits an important ruler to possess several scores. While former Turkish sultans had numerous progeny, Abdul Midjid has but one child, a daugh ter, his constant companion. This already is worrying Moslem chief tains. lira "What if the caliph dies with out male issue?" they ask. "Who will continue the line of caliphs?" Another thing that worries rock ribbed Moslems is the new ca liph's devotion to art. The Koran, in its strictest interpretation, for bids painting pictures and mak ing "graven images." But the new caliph not only loves and ap preciates art but is known him - self In Paris as an accomplished painter. Abdul Medjid will exercise no civil power within the Turkish empire but he will be recognized as the spiritual head of millions of Mohammedans all over the world who will look upon him with the same respect as Roman Catholics look upon their pope.
