We Must Stick to Our Job By R. W. Babaon. "It is evident to every thinking man that our industries, on the farm, in the shipyards, in the mines, in the factories, bust be made more productive and more'efficient." President Wilson's War Message.

Not all of us can fight, at least not at the front. There are many who would like to but who would not be accepted. There are others whom the government prefers to have remain at home. War today is not like war in the past. It is very different. The actual armies are now numbered by the million, whereas in the past wars they have been numbered by the thousand. But the vastness of the present war is not seen in the armies alone. War today demands the greatest energies of the whole nation. When millions of men are taken from various kinds of labor and are sent away to fight, those at home must do the work of those who go. It takes five men on the farms and in the factories and shipyards for every one man at the front. If we workers at home think it is hard for us, let us think how much harder it is for those at the front. The soldiers there have not only to work longer than do we at home and undergo far worse hardships, but they must constantly risk their very lives. We men in factories and on farms, in shipyards, mines, and other places should keep this

in mind. It is for. us to do our part gladly and not grumble. The very least we can do is to make those men at the front know that we at home are thinking of them and working for them. They are ready to die for humanity. We are surely ready to work for humanity. We do not have to go looking for a part to play. Our job is to do our own work well right where we now are. Squirming and crawling about from place to place can do no good. There is one thing every man and woman can do and as true patriots should do and that is: Do the thing we are doing now, better. Let's study our work and learn how to do it better. Do these things and we will have done our part and when'this war is over we too will be each able to say: I did my bit.

Liberty Loan Activities From Official Bulletin.

conference was held Is Washington during the week beginning December 10, which lasted several days, between Secretary McAdoo and other

Treasury officials and representatives from Liberty Loan organizations aU over the country, which included officials of the Federal Reserve Banks. Plans for future Liberty Loan campaigns were perfected and an organization at once wider and closer was arranged for. Rural communities and small towns and small cities particularly will feel the effect of the new campaign plans. Failure of rural communities to subscribe relatively as liberally as the metropolitan districts was generally ascribed not to lack of patriotism but lack of thorough organization and intensive campaigning. In future campaigns every agency will be used in the rural districts as weU as in the cities. . The women's organizations will be very active and hearty co-operation between them and the other organisations is assured. Educational work in the schools of the country is to be stressed, and through the schools generally, therefore, educational campaigns are to be carried on all over the country not only during Liberty Loan campaigns but in the intervals between. Enthusiasm, patriotism, and earnestness characterized the conferepce, which was composed of approximately one hundred delegates representing every Federal Reserve district and most of the States.

TWO VOICES

A SOUTHERN VOLUNTfcER Yes, fir, I fought with Stonewall, And faced the fight with Lee, But if this here Union goes to war, Make one more gun for me! I didn't shrink from Sherman As he galloped to the sea; But if this here Union goes to war, Make one more gun for me I I was with 'era at Manassas The bully boys in gray: I heard the thunderers roarin' Hound Stonewall Jackson's way. ADd many a time this sword of mine Has blazed the rout for Lee; But if this old nation goes to war. Make one more sword for m! I'm not so full of fightin', Nor half so full o' fun. As I was back in the sixties When I shouldered my old gun; It may be tlat my hair is white Sich things, you know, must be But if this Union's in for war, Make one more gun for me! 1 hain't forgot my raisin' Nor how, in sixty-two Or thereabouts, with battle shouts I charged the boys in blue; And I say I fought with Stonewall, Anl blazed the way for Lee; But if this old Union's in for war. Make one more gun for me! Atlanta Constitution.

HIS NORTHERN BROTHER Just make it two, old fellow; I want to stand once more Beneath the old flag with you, As in the days of yore; Our fathers stood together And fought on land and sea. The battles fierce that made us A nation of the free. I whipped you down at Vicksburg, You licked me at Bull Run; On many a field we struggled, When neither victory won. You wore the gray of Southland. I wore the Northern blue; Like men we did our duty, When screaming bullets flew. Four years we fought like heroes; But when the war was done Your hand met mine in friendly clasp, Our two hearts beat as one. And now, when danger threatens, No North, no South, we know, Once more we stand together To fight the common foe. My head, like yours, is frosty Old age is creeping on; Life's sun is lower sinking, My day will soon be gone. But if our country's honor Needs once again her son. I'm ready, too. old fellow So get another gun. Minneapolis Journal.

Charges Against U. S. Ambassador to Russia Fail, Says London Post

liO.N'DON, Dec. 2S. The Bolshevik! newspapers continue to print revelations of an alleged American plot to support General Kaledines, according to a Petrograd despatch to the Morning Post dated Tuesday. So far as Ambassador Francis is concerned, the despatch acids, the whole ridiculous (harse falls to the ground before the Mraightforward statement issued by the American ambassador on Tuesday. Coloml Kolpashinkoff never applied to the ambassador for any fund for any purpose although fully empowered to draw as needed on the Red Cross account, he being connected with the American Red Crots. Leon Trotzky's charees acainst Kolpashnikoff and American representatives in Petrograd. the correspondent adds, amount to a series of suppositions unsupported by evidence cf any

kind. The correspondent says that j

Cel. Kol pashnikoff assisted the orncials in Halifax in examining Trotzky when he and Trotzky were traveling to Russia together, and adds: "The matter thus comes down to the personal element which plays so large a part in what is called politics in Russia today." ' Still in Prison. Col. Kolpasbnikoff, the correspondent says, is still in prison and has not been seen by any American official. It la plain, according to the correspondent of the Post, that in some small bits of friction between the respective American mission to Rumania and Russia, Thotzky found a peg on which to hang a series of baseless charges against Ambassador Francis and the American nation. Trotzky's cbject Is to deride the entente allied government through their representatives and the methods he baa adopted are calculated to intensify the hostility of the Russian proletariat toward the allies, which German agents alao have fostered. A Petrograd dispatch to the London Times said that Ambassador Frand in bis statement denied that be and his staff bad Interfered with Roes tan Internal affaln or aided any political faction. The ambassador pnblianed letters showing ft. at the funds employed la tb transference of Red Cross automobiles were drawn for the ,

Red Cross and not for the embassy, which the Bolshevik! had alleged.

RUSSIAN COMMITTEE PRESENTS FLORAL OFFERING TO FRANCIS

LONDON, Dec. 28. A deputation of Russians visited the American embassy on Monday, according to a Petrograd dispatch to the Times and presented a floral offering to Ambassador Francis in recognition of his efforts to obtain a million pairs of shoes for railway men, their wives and families The British embassy at Petrograd has announced, the dispatch adds, the liberation of Tchitcherin end Petriff, two Russians who have been under arrest in England, and they will be permitted to return to Russia.

RELIEF!

15,000 Makers of Smokes Back Again WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S. Settlement of a strike of 15,000 cigar makers in Porto Rico, which had cost the government $700,000 in revenue during four months cessation of work, was announced today by the Department of Labor. A mediator effected a settlement of wage questions which caused the strike.

"Will you please examine this diamond," said a man who had stepped into a jeweler's shop, "and tell me what you think of it? If it is a- good stone I think I will buy it." The jeweler took the gem, which was unset, and looked at it critically. Then in confidential tones he said: "Well, to tell you the truth, that isn't a very good stone. It hasn't much fire, it is badly cut and there is something here very much like a flaw." Then he held the diamond under a microscope and examined it carefuly, finally observing: "No, it isn't exactly a flaw, but I shouldn't call it a perfect stone. Now, if you want something really fine, I have here " "Excuse me," the other man inter rupted. "I don't think I'll buy a dia

mond today. This is a diamond that one of your assistants let me take on Saturday on approval. I deposited $50 on it. Please let me have my money and we will declare the deal off." The bereaved husband erected a handsome headstone over his departed wife's grave and part of the inscription read: "MY LIGHT HAS GONE OUT." Father Time healed the wound and he took another to his bosom. The inscription on the headstone worried him, so he sought advice from hl3 nearest friend. Then this line was added: "I HAVE STRUCK ANOTHER MATCH."

OLD STUFF, OLD STUFF. "Gasoline Is Going Up," shrieks a headline. Again, or yet. The enemy aliens and fake patriots probably view with alarm the fact that the growers have not yet announced a shortage in the hemp crop. Louisville, Miss., people will have nothing to do from now on but read about the war and go fishing. The city council at a recent session passed an ordinance forbidding all amusements, including "circuses, shows, theaters, billiard tables, pool rooms, bowling alleys, medicine shows, shooting galleries, pet bear exhibitions, fortune tellers, lung testers, museums, menageries, muscle testers, flying horses, skating rinks and roller coasters." But not a word about gum machines. A slogan for every home: Do your Christmas shopping early. We have only this to say: If Jess

Willard and Benny Leonard get in the

same trench it is going to be awkward for one of them. Either Benny will have to stand on a box or Jess will have to squat. Change Billy Sunday's favorite hymn a bit and then go and sing it to your sugarless groceryman: "Sweeten up the corner where you are."

Chief White Cow of the Sioux tribe in Chicago the other day refused to be interviewed by reporters. Undoubtedly that was due to his Indian reservation. , Great men all have their peculiarities. J. Ogden Armour never wears pink pajamas on the 6treet. President Wilson rarely eats corned beef and cabbage for breakfast. Governor Wilson never plays golf at night. Mr. Taft never affects straight-front corsets. Thomas A. Edison never uses syrup on his roast beef.

Pittsburgh papers are telling the troubles of a rich widow. But, if she's right, there's no reason why she should be a widow. A fashion journal says: "Velvet ladies' vests are coming into style again." Have you a velvet lady in your home?" We have been promised all year that there would be a serious shortage in Christmas toys in this country. But, just our luck, they seem to be more numerous, attractive and expensive than ever.

Reasons For "Slacking" in 1776 Were Made Part of the Records

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. Echoes of America's struggle for liberty in 1776 have been found by war department officials in their search of the records of Harfords county, Maryland, in connection with perfecting title to the new army proving ground. A detached document in the clerk's files, dated 1776, sets forth the names of fifteen citizens of the region who refused to sign a declaration of independence, said to have been among the first moves in that direction by the American colonists. The reasons given in refusing to sign present a vivid picture of the perturbed state of mind of the colonists. The document reads: , "Benjamin Herbert, Jr., refuses to sign through religious principles. "William Wilson, son of John, refuses to sign through religious principles. "Benjamin Harboard refuses to sign through religious principles. He Had Signed Once. "Michael Boser don't sign by reason he signed before. "Thomas Gilbert don't sign by reason he don't choose. "Thomas West don't sign by reason it is a mystery to him. "Philip Cummins don't sign by reason he don't understand the matter. "John Ward don't sign by reason the congress don't sign and by reason he thinks that if the English gain the day then the congress and the great people will turn the scale ana say the com

monality of people forced them to stand in opposition to the English. "John Clark don't sign by no reason he can give. "Ephraim Arnold don't sign for fear it would fetch him into a scrape. "Isaac Penrose don't sign for reason he don't choose to fight for liberty and never will. "Benjamin Fleetwood refuses to sign. He says he will go in a vessel; will not fight by land. "Samuel Gallion says if he should sign he may fetch on himself that he cannot go through. "Richard Spencer says he can not write nor read and shall not sign any paper."

Sammies in Ancient English City Prepare For Great Future

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, Dec. 14. (Correspondence of the A P.) Here, in one of the most excellent cities of England, is the principal camp in Great Britain of the United States army. A considerable change has come over the quiet town; it is full. of unaccustomed bustle and animation and the English that is spoken is not uttered with the local intonation. The camp is what is known as a "passing" one. Men come here after landing on British soil and undergo a sort of quarantine for a week or so. Then, their whole unit having been assembled, they depart to be trained in France. The camp is policed by men from the United Stataes Marines. Some of them have already seen service in France. The colonel commanding is an old West Pointer. His adjutant, a captain of marines, is from Annapolis. There are a number of British officers and soldiers assigned to assist the Americans. The BritVh officers are known technically as "liasson officers' but Tommy Atkins long ago shortened this to "Elizas" as a useful nickname

which has ben adopted also by the American soldiers. The camp, which was turned over by the British military authorities, is complete end well equipped. There is an excellent hospital, good "dry"' canteens, clubs, chapels, banks, an express office and a good drug store. Girl members of the British Woman's Army Auxiliary corps, in regulation khaki uniform, are employed in an auxiliary capacity here and the American officers and men alike, express admiration of the way they carry out the duties assigned to them.
