Practically all the lodges in the city are yet to be heard from. Today the Moose lodge contributed $25 to the fund and the Druids $10. All the committeemen were greatly pleased with the interest shown by the business men in this movement and the response to the appeals for money or things suitable for children was prompt and generous. Girls Will Sing. Mrs. George Chrisman. who is organizing a chorus of little girls to sing a Christmas carol at the Coliseum

Tomorrow afternoon candies, fruits, nuts and other eatables which have been promised the solicitors will be collected by an automobile truck and tomorrow night a number of young women will meet at the council chamber in t'he city building and sack these supplies for distribution. Generous-hearted persons in every section of the city have been sending in toys to the city building but more toys are still needed for there are hundreds of little boys and girls who are depending upon the city committee for their Christmas cheer. Workmen today are preparing a big fireplace and chimney for the Coliseum stage, where Santa Claus will make his eutrance into the building.

Guest house directors closed up their businesa last night as far as the entire board Is concerned, and the campaign for a working girls' home was brought te- a close Indefinitely. Miss Ida Bartel, treasurer, who Is issuing the checks in repayment of contributions made in the financial campaign last spring, reported that comparatively few donors have asked that their money be returned. The announcement that Miss Bartel wduld repay the money at 911 North fi street was made last Saturday, and it is Btill possible that much of the money may be asked for. The guest house directors have consulted with advisors who have informed them that better business conditions are expected to start with the new year, and it may be only a few months until the organization again becomes active.

Switzerland has 300,000 men under arms to defend her neutrality, if it -shall become necessary. The photograph above shows a point on the German-Swiss border where a road crosses, near Basle. On the farther side are German sentries, with their curious pointed helmets, while on the nearer side with fixed bayonets are two Siss on guard. The Swiss uniform and cap remind one strikingly of the Confederates and Unionists in the American civil wkar. Like them, too, they are citizen-soldiers. Below are seen two soldiers participating in the remarkable mountain manoeuvres of the Swiss army. On the left a Swiss is lying on bis back, firing a machine gun up a very steep slope. On the right a fully equipped soldier is climbing a mountainside, which might well balk an unencumbered Alpinist.
