WAR HITS GIFT OF GOLD
COIN DURING CHRISTMAS
Government Urges Savings Cer
tificates for Use as Yuletide
Remembrances
WASHINGTON. No. 1.
Sparlc'lng new gold pieces nre doomed
this year ns Christinas presents. War
economy Is- the reason. Instead of tivo
dollar coins, the lUovernment will try to
have the nation's Yuletide stocking filled
with five-dollar War savings certificates,
bearing i per cent interest, that will help
win the war.
Frank A. Vanderllp. director of the coun
try's war thrift crusade, expects to have
the gigantic two-bllllon-doliar campaign
launched crirly In December In order to
down tlie "commercial and financial inen
nc of. extravagant find useless Christmas
buying," The certificates will .f.ell for $4.12
and will 'bo redeemable In iflvo years for
five dpllars.
The Treasury Department has Informed
all banks that no subtrensury deposits for
new gold coins for holiday presents will be
permitted. This move, olTicals say, will
help to win tho war in three waya: It will
conserve the gold Bupply, It will enable the
overburdened mints to produce more silver
cdrrency to meet the unprecedented demand
for small coins nnd it will encourage econ
omy in ChrNtmaa buying.
Tho buying of gold coins for holiday gifts,
tho Treasury Department feels. Is not only
an unnecessary nnd extravagant fad but
It also withdraws grent ciuantltles of basic
irioney from circulation and Impedes the
Government's financial mobilization. Three
years ago $12,000,000 wortli of gold coin-j
were used for holiday gifts; last year tho
figure was approximately J0,0oo,000. This
year It will bo reduced to almost nothing, if
plans for arousing the, people to war thrift
are successful.

CO-OPERATION NEEDED
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.
Vresldent Wilson has selected the Amer
ican commissioners to tho great Allied con
ference in I'arls November 13 tho first In
which tills Government has olliclally par
ticipated. Their names will be announced
kooii. Their work has been out'lned.
The German drive against Italy has
demonstrated, perhnp.t more than any other
tiling, tho need of clot-er co-operation be
tween tho Powers leagued against Hohen
roliernlsni. ltapld exchange of views re
lating to the conduct of the war has been
under way between the Allied nations since
that drive started, and by the time nil the
delegates arrive in J'arlsi the foundation
.vlll have been laid for formulating a "gen
eral war program.
Foremost among tho questions to bo con
sidered Immediately at tho conference will
be the military nnd economic conditions In
Itussla nnd Italy. The Iialknn situation,
particularly as It relates to Humanla, pre
sents some delicate points. Humanla, pen
niless and In serious straits, Is under strong
Teuton pressure to give up the struggle,
but she is needed for the contemplated
irlng campaign In conjunction with Jugo
slav legions on the eastern front. Hence
plans for rehabilitating tho Ilumnnlan nrmy
will be laid at the conference. Preliminary
discussion of the Itumanlan situation Is
under way In London this week.
The question ot Japanese nnd Chinese
participation in the war on a larger scale
will be Included In the mapping out of
.i general war plan. Before any such' par
ticipation on tho eastern front ,ls possible.
hovver, It Is declared the Trans-Siberian
Unllrocd, now vltually useless, must bo re
built. While It bus been officially announced
that war methods, not war alms, would
be the purpose of tho great conference, It
appears Inevitable that out of the discus
sion will probably come some definite plan
for educating the people of the allied na
tions ns to the objectives in pursuing to
the end the strugglo against the Kaiser,
There has appeared some difference In
these objectives, between the different allied
Powers. It has given rise to much confusion
among the peoples and strong liberal press
ure In nil countries Is being brought to
bear for a. general statement out of tho
conferenco on war alms.

First Time in German History
Chancellor Has Considered
Reichstag Opposition
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 1.
German parliamentary reformers ara said
to regard an n, victory the refusal of Count
von Hertllng, Bavarian rrernlcr, to accept
tho Chancellorship because, . Is reported,
he could not control ft majority In the
1 nelchstag. If this bo true, It Is tho flrst
time Jn German history that'd Chancellor
has let anything like Reichstag opposition
stand In Mb way. And so It Is the first
time that the Retchstac, thus Indirectly, has
managed to Impose Its will cm tho Kaiser,
Opposition of tho Reichstag majority to
von Hertllng, It was reported, was duo to
his violent and reiterated opposition to all
rulo of tho people. The soventy-four-year.
td statesman Is a disciple of tho old school
of nn nutocratlo ring to conduct tho Gov.
crnmont. Immediately after the Kaiser's
choice of such an enemy to popular rule
was announced leaders ot parliamentary
reform groups met and unanimously .voted
to resist his selection. "
Whether or not this Reichstag majority
will cause the Kaiser's abandonment of the
appointment was not hinted In Uerlln dls.
patches today. If he does, popular rule In
Germany has made nn unprecedented ad
vance step.

When you have time putting up a "Comfy Kit" for some
oue among the hundreds of thousands of American Soldiers
going to France, placing in it tenderly, one article after another,
how often must you have asked yourself:
"Which will he find most useful for which will he thank
me most as he unfolds the kit out therein the trenches?"
There are the soap and the socks hoth very useful.
You have felt that the shoestrings, too, will he exceedingly
welcome when one has heen broken in his muddy shoes
and there is no stray string or thong ahout. Surely the ab
sence of a shoestring can make one terribly uncomfortable!
But have you pictured to yourself the possible and fre
quently probable absence of a dentifrice? The air clouded
with gun smoke and the gases of explosives being breathed into
his throat the parched mouth on the long march the
terrible throat strain of bursting shells the discomfort of
unclean teeth?
Surely, he will thank you most for the tube of Kolynos!
It gives xhim assurance of having his teeth, mouth and throat
in a sweet, cleanly, refreshed condition correct sanitation at
the very gateway of his being.
"Keep Kolyios in Your Kit" is a soldier's motto, Be
bure mat you place Kolynos n the kit you prepare for hh
