DO YOUR CHRISTMAS MAILING
EARLY.
Railroads are taxed beyond their carry
ing capacity. Mails are running behind
schedule. Government business has its
rightful preference over everything else.
There are delays even now and congestion
is certain to become serious when the heavy
holiday shipments go into the mail.
Indications are that mail shipments will
be heavier this Christmas than ever before.
More people are away from home and the
country is more prosperous, which means
more gift making. The postoffice depart
ment is making preparation for the Decem
ber rush, but unless packages are mailed
earlier than usual it will be physically im
possible to give prompt service.
You can help the government materially
by mailing all gifts to distant points not
later than November 20th and by sending
all of your packages early in December.
Start planning now to have your last gift
in the mail by December 15th. That is the
only certain way to avoid disappointment
and delay. Just mark the packages, "Don't
open until Christmas," and it doesn't mat
ter how soon they are placed in the mail.
There are more ways than fighting to
help win the war. One of the most im
portant is to help prevent congestion of the
transportation systems by doing your
Christmas mailing early.
THE -DUPLICITY OF THE KAISER
REVEALED.
Ever since the start of the great world
war, brought on by German determination
to rule the world, the German manufactur
ers of public opinion have been busy trying
to unload .their blood-guilt.
No lie has been too patent. Exposed in
one plea, they rapidly shift to another.
But recent revelaions leave the German
kaiser and the German government in bad
light, indeed. No wonder the president,
having inside information, said the word
of Germany's present rulers could not be
taken in any peace agreement.
The president not only knew- what all
bf us know that to the German rulers
treaties are mere scraps of paper, but he
must have known the. depths of duplicity to
which lust for "weltmacht" had driven the
Prussian overlords.
Former Ambassador Gerard has proved
by the kaiser's cable to the president that
Germany's published statements concern
ing the necessity of invading Belgium were
plain lies. And fast upon the heels of this
came the revelations of the secret archives
of the deposed Czar Nicholas poor, spine
less weakling putty in the hands of
stronger men in constant correspondence
by telegraph with Kaiser Wilhelm, who un
ceasingly worked for a condition in Europe
making it safe for him to attack England
The telegrams showed the kaiser, taking
advantage of the Russo-Japanese war,
brought pressure to bear upon the czar to.
drop all friendly understanding with Eng
land and, instead, bring about a rapproche
ment with Germany.
Then he wanted France brought into a
sort of triple alliance. As France had an
alliance with Russia and was Russia's cred
itor for enormous sums, the kaiser though'
It easy to force France to drop her entente
cordiale with. England and come into the
German camp.
At the same time, the kaiser was cynica1
ly avowing his purpose, in case of war with
England, to seize tiny Denmark impu
dently and brutally avowing that German
necessity knows no laws, no national
rights. If Germany wants to attack Eng
land and France invade Belgium. If Ger
many wants to use the Baltic against Eng
land invade Denmark.
The aiser planned to isolate England.
He figured it would then be ah easy thing
to settle accounts with her. That done, he
hcould polish off either France or Russia, as
r T T 1 . ,
suites ms purpose, ne wouia men oe un
disputed master of Europe and ready for ru's
arrogant challenge to America and its
Monroe Doctrine.
The. Germans have pretended . all along
they hated England only because she took
up arms for democracy in the tfar against
autocracy. The fact is Germany has hated
England for years, just as she has, hated
America for years.
Germany hates any country richer than
she, and whose government is more demo
cratic. So long as there are great, rich,
democracies like America, England and
France, the .warlords of Germany do not
sit absolutely secure. '
There is always the chance that the Ger
man Michael will say to himself: "What is
good for the Yankees should be good for
me. They rule. Why should not I and my
kind rule Germany?"
It was eminently wise for our president
to announce he did not desire to talk peace
with German, war-lords. We are beginning
to know them.
DEVELOPING OUR RESOURCES
One of the lasting benefits that America
will derive from the war is the finding of
our resources the discovery that we can
make at home many of the things which
were quite content to draw from other
countries so long as we could bring them
across the seas more easily than we could
produce them.
We accepted as a fact the theory that
only Germany could produce commercial
dyes. That country had specialized in
their manufacture and German chemists
attained a high standard which it was be
lieved no other country could equal. When
the war cut off importations our manu
facturing plants were in a sad plight.
American dye makers tried to come to the
rescue but their early efforts were most dis
appointing. The reds were a sickly, life
less, brick-color or faded pink, blues were
anything but the desired shade and the
problem seemed hdpeless. Then American
chemists took up the task with a determi
nation to win out. In less than three
years they have succeeded in producing
some dyes that are equal in every respect
to, those of Germany and in two years
more they are confident-of producing, diffi
cult process dyes as successfully as Ger
many did after specializing in the work for
40 years. Approximately,$200,000,000 has
been invested in the manufacture of dyes
and chemicals in this country and, with the
progress that has been made, it is certain
that we will in future be independent of
all other countries for the major portion of
those commodities needed to fill our re
quirements. Similar advancement has been ma,dev in
other lines. One match company has
established the first muriate of potash
plant in America, at a cost of $400,000,
and is independent of foreign producers
for" all time.
The United States has learned that it
can produce chemist's glassware of better
grade than Germany, which formerly had
a monopoly on the finer qualities.
Industrial chemistry was an undeveloped
science in this country until the war ap
plied the spur of necessity and prompted
us to make researches and tests and experi
ments which will add materially to our-na-tional
wealth while freeing us from de
pendence upon any other country for many
of the things which we believed it impos
sible to produce here.
A Cleveland (O.) woman is suing for
$40,000 damages for an accident making it
impossible for her to open her mouth.
Guess that shows how highly women value
their conversational powers.
Joan Sawyer, a New York dancer, has
paid her partners alimony. Another type
of modern Joan.
Its about time for the goose bone pro
phets to tell lis what kind of a winter we
are in for.
No one has heard of any church collec
tion plate groaning under excess profits.

allowed the German people and the
civilian population of the occupied
portions of Belgium are insufficient
