MINISTERS OFFER TO CO-OPERATE WITIT WORKMEN Form Committee to Stimulate Public Interest in Social and Economic Education.

The Rev. A. F. Mitchell and the Rev. H. s. James, representing the Richmond Ministerial Association, appeared before the meeting of the Central Labor Council Thursday evening and suggested that , the Central Labor Council and the Ministerial Association form a body for the purpose of creating public interest In social and economic education for the general Public. Two means were suggested, one to form small groups of men for the study of Industrial and econo-nic conditions and the other to hold ft forum at stated Intervals. At these meetings an authority on civil matters would be obtained to make an address. Mr. Mitchell and Mr. James said in short talks that a new day was coming and that if social justice is to be achieved the same paths that were pursued before the war cannot be followed since the signing of the armistice. Both representatives of the Ministerial Association said that he wished In behalf of the Association to cooperate with labor. It was proposed that a committee from the Central Labor Council be appointed to meet with a committee from the Ministerial Association, which body should consider the best way .to bring about civic and economic education for Richmond. "Robert Graham of the Labor Council said that he had been thinking of such a plan for some time and that he believed a body which should be called a civil council would be a good solution. A committee was appointed to meet with the ministers, composed of Robert Graham, Luclu3 Harrison and W. J. Putterbaugh. . Want Vocational Teachers 2 A short talk in favor of an eight hour day and sanitary working conditions, was made by Lucius Harrison, secretary of the council. Mr. Harrison spoke of the things for which Inbor stands, and said that if ministers believe In social justice they should rreach it from their pulpits. Professor G. F. Buxton of the vocational training department of Indiana University was present to enlist the support of the council in securing craftsmen to be trained for teachers; in vocational training schools. J "It Is the desire of Indiana Univerr ity to establish not only a vocational clacs In the night school but also a course for vocational instructors. Mr.

Buxton said that a course of two jilrhta for thirty weeks for two years would fit a man to become an instructor. r. C. Molter, In charge of the vocation department at the Richmond High school advocated a scheme to bring men from 16 to 25 into the high school for two hours a day The council voted to postpone its election of officers until the second Thursday In January.

How Yank Overseas Will Get His Christmas Present S X." ' i for I If SfV) &

Steps in history of American soldier's Christmas package. Christmas day found every American soldier, still on duty overseas, the proud possessor of a Christmas present or rather a box of presents. Each soldier was allowed one package. He was asked to fill out a blank selecting the person from whom he wanted to receive the box. A mailing slip was sent to this person. The Yank above named his sweetheart. From the time she received the slip (above at left) until he received the box the package followed a set route. She purchased the contents and packed them in a box obtained from a Red Cross station. She took the box, with the contents, to the Red Cross station. Upper center picture shows her arriving there. Picture at right shows how a Red Cross officer inspected and censored the contents. The package was then turned over to Uncle Sam's mail clerks (below at left) for shipment to the proper division of the army, where a soldier mailman (in center) delivered it to the happy Yank (at right), who proceeded to open it.

TWO BILLS AGAINST GERMANY

There are no definite figures at hand, of course, on what the losses and damages suffered by France and Belgium in the war may total. But figures obtained from an authoritative source show that it would take approximately $14,000,000,000 to replace the damages. The actual damages and losses to the two governments are estimated at $9,261,748,000. The cost of the materials needed to replace destroyed property has gone up fully 50 per cent, say men who have studied the subject. This means that it would take $14,000,000,000 to replace the losses. A well known statistician and student of finance has prepared a table of losses and damages suffered by the two countries.

ASKS VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT IN ARr.1YRESlir.1ED Must ; Organize Force to Perform Essential Military Duties, Says Baker. WASHINGTON. Dec. 27. Immediate legislation authorizing resumption of Voluntary enlistment In the army and the repeal of provisions of the selective service act limiting enlistments to the period of the war was urged today by Secretary Baker in a letter to Chairman Dent, of the House Military Committee. Without the legislation. Secretary Baker said, the army, after the proclamation of peace, would not have sufficient forces to perform essential military duties, including the policing of the Mexican border. "This legislation is urgently necessary," he wrote, "because as soon after the proclamation of peace as the existing emergency will permit those who have enlisted or have been drafted to serve during the emergency mu6t all, In accordance with the law, be discharged. Demobilization of these men is now being rapidly made, and it is expected soon to release them at a rate of over 3.0,000 a day or 200,000 a week. "The only men who will remain in the service are those men enlisted In the regular army oh or prior to April 1, 1917, and whose enlistments have not yet expired. This small number has been cut down by casualties and other vicissitudes until the entire military force in the United States that can be retained in the service will be absolutely inadequate and Insufficient to perform such essential military duties as policing the Mexican border, garrisoning our insular possessions, manning the seacoast defenses of the United States, occupying permanent posts and garrisons, guarding and protecting the large amount of recently acquired government property and maintaining and operating the camps and cantonments in this country to which troops returned from overseas may be sent for prompt demobilization."
