CITIZENS OF U. S. SEND HUGH MONEY TO WAR SUFFERERS

Z WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. Women In 1 mourning garb and men with' solemn faces, waiting In line these days all , over. the. United States before post-office windows where foreign money & orders are Issued, tell a wordless story ;of the sorrows or war's destruction reaching across the seas to America. ;; A third Christmas-time of world conflict has seen long lines of happy folk, 'radiant with holiday spirit at the pros- ! pect of sending something "home to ''the old folks," turned into Bilent parties of mourners, sending back "money to alleviate suffering and filled with anxiety and .distress with the un'X certainty of its safe arrival. There Is also the grave uncertainty that when I a gift reaches its destination no one ! will be there to receive it. - ' f Clerks Note Quick Change. 5 Postal clerks have been quick to t note the change. ' Veterans In the serv. p fee who have been issuing Christmas V money orders to all parts of the globe "" for ' years say they no longer hear Si eagerly told stories of the gifts the ".' money was to buy.. They hear only hopes that It may arrive safely to pro;vide food, clothing and fire or perhaps medicine. 'I The line Is a little shorter and the Z; people average much older this year .than formerly. Its decreased number ls attributed to the fact that the goveminent, despite determined efforts, is t unable to guarantee safe and sneedv

y delivery of money orders in the war zone. Old age has taken Its place in ; line because the sons of many are now across the seas on the fighting fronts, tl States Play Santa Claus. Through the postal money order department the United States will be Santa Claus to far more people of the ",'Entente Allies than of the Central Powers this year. Delivery of orders rln England and France have been in. , terfered with only slightly. No delivery, is being made in Austria, and Ger"iriSn pointB receive their orders late, -If Indeed, they get them at all. Virtually no orders are being - sent to Russia, largely because Warsaw, which iwas the central station for the pavement of orders, now in the war zone. This situation has affected the money order receipts in this country greatly, ;;too, for In former years Russians in 'the United States led all the remaining foreign-born citizens in sending t money home at Christmas time.

SNOW AS REVEALER OF FOLKS' CHARACTER PROVIDES CUB WITH MATERIAL FOR RESEARCH

BY THE CUB Beautiful but nasty, sighed the tyrant of the scribes at 7:06 this a. m., as, shaking up steam radiator with one If and and adjusting his coat collar

and overshoes with the other, he' gazed steadfastly out of the once-clean window and contemplated on the magnificence of the white stuff and the magnitude of the coal pile in the cellar at home. "Beautiful, ever so beautiful, but I don't like it," he continued. The opinion of the congregated assembly was Beven to one the office boy being present at the time. The kid voted for snow.

MESSAGE OF CHRIST IS FOR "CROOKED"

SOLDIERS SENDING i CHRISTMAS CHEER

; LONDON, Dec. 11. (Correspondfence of The Associated Press) "Wish ;ou a simple Christmas" is to be the fthrlstmas greeting in England this ' .year. In other words, self-denial " but a self denial free from dismalness li Is to be the keynote of the country's coming Yuletide season. Festive extravagance, riotous indulgence, and 'thoughtless debauchery are to give 'place to simplicity, joy, thankfulness and thoughts for the wounded, the sufferers, and the soldiers and sailors who are fighting for their country. ij.The advent of the food dictator and .'the realization by the British people :that after two years of war there is ur'fient need for the husbanding of their ;food stores, is responsible for the simvpllcity of the coming festival of joy and thanksgiving. The two previous C 'hristmases In the war were celebrated according to tradition a time of "feasting and festivity and present-giving, a period of general relaxation; and of charity also. But conditions have altered, the stern realities of '. war have been bropght even closer to the people, so that the necessity for jtreater self-denial is more apparent. J'Joonomy and retrenchment will be the watchword this Christmas.

. "Jesus' message was not to the straight but to the crooked," declared

Dr. J. E. Shannon, Marion, conference superintendent, when he spoke at the United Brethern church last night. "The most nearly straight are crooked enough. ' "Jesus began; we are to finish. The church is to seek and help. The church is to minister rather than to be ministered unto. ( '"He brought a perfect message to imperfect people. Had he brought a message for perfect people, where on earth would he have delivered it. He brought no message to the man on the track making stations on scheduled time but he brought a message for and had an errand to perform for the man derailed and ditched. He came to help such men back on the track and to help them stay on. If we would get does to Him, we need but get close to the world's needs. "We need Him no more than He

needs us. His cause would languish and die unless we represent Him." ;

HONOLULU, Dec. 11, (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) A bill seeking to give the voters of Hawaii the right to elect the governor of the territory will be Introduced In con

gress at the short session by Delegate

Kalanianaole, according to a statement

issued by him.

Under the present laws, the gover

nor is appointed by the President, ana the people of the territory have nothing to say as to who their chief executive may be. , Mr. Kalanianaole said: Works For Home Rule "In the present congress I am going to work hard along the lines of home rule. One of the first bills which I shall Introduce, and for which I shall ask a speedy hearing before the committee on territories, is a bill which will give to the electorate of Hawaii the right to choose Its governor. With the trend of opinion in congress towards home rule, I am hopeful that a bill of this nature will be successful. Should it be, it will be a preliminary step toward statehood. "Whenever any matter comes up in

congress concerning Hawaii, whether it deals with the subject of disposition of the public lands, with the selection of governor, or even with prohibition, I shall strenuously Insist, both before the committee and on the floor of the house, that in matters of this nature the power of control should be vested in the people of the territory. Not For Commission "We do not here want a commission form of government We do not here want matters in which we are vitally Interested left solely subject to control by congress. We have plenty of questions of vital Interest to us, but we are able to work out our own salvation better than congress is able to do it for us. "On the home rule proposition, even including the selection of a governor, both parties have decisive planks, and I shall feel no hesitation In making my appeal."
