HOI.IOAY SEASON BRINGS DEATHS Lebanon, Dec. 28,—For the third consecutive year the Christmastide brought sorrow into the, home of Charles Uhrich, a Lebanon bi\tcher. in the death from heart disease of a daughter, Miss Elizabeth Uhrich, 35 years old, who fell dead on Christmas Eve. Two years ago Charles Uhrich, a son. was killed Christmas Eve, and a year ago Mrs. Uhrich, the wife and mother, was fatally stricken with heart disease while doing her late Christmas shopping. AH Red Cross Shipments to Be Made From City to National Headquarters Distribution of sweaters will not be made to soldiers from the Harris burg chapter, American Red Cross, hereafter. Instructions from Charles Scott, Jr., Pennsylvania division manager, asking that this practice be discontinued, were recently received at local headquarters. The reason for the order is that the national and local records become confused, and this results in duplication. The ob ject is to see that men who most need the sweaters and knitted sup plies, are provided for, at the first, and the national and division organ izations will take care of this. In his statement to the various chapters, Sir. Scott tells of the con fusion resulting from the present dis tribution plan; "There is naturally a desire on the part of the members of the chap ters to see that the men from their particular home towns are outfitted. Direct shipments by individuals or chapters to officers or men, however, have resulted in much duplication and confusion with heavy shipments at this time of traffic congestion. For example, we have trustworthy re ports of men who have received as many as six sweaters, and of criss cross shipments such as one from Alabama to Camp Wheeler, Ga., of approximately the same number of sweaters as were shipped at the same time from Virginia to Anniston, Ala. This would all have been avoided had distribution been made through the Red Cross." Efficiency Expert Pays High Tribute to Gen. Pershing General Pershing is the best train ed and best equipped leader of the best trained and best equipped Army the United States ever saw. He is the first commander of an American Army to put war on a straight business footing that ev ery businessman the world over is bound to respect. Ho is the only general in the world war with enough man power and material re sources back of him to insure vic tory. Ho is the first and only war rior, since time began, to lead a host of millions of ppwerftii men from one country to another, sole ly on a mission of defense and de liverance equal to that of the early Crusades, but every man of the ex pedition armed from tip to toe with the science and experience of the modern war machine. If you had been present fifty mil lion years or so back yonder, when the world was made, and if the fates had offered you a cosmic field glass, to look down the ages and across the map of the world, spying out the best time and place in which to be a soldier and do a sol dier's work—you couldn't have set tled the matter better than to chose this war to fight in, this coun try to light from, this crusade to fight for, this man Pershing to fight with! j A stronger, better leader than Pershing would be hard to find. He I resembles Kitchener in appearance, and even more in action. He is al ways on the go. He has the fire and snap that American youths admire. The right qualities of leadership are that a man should be stern but not harsh, quick but not rash, keen, but not cruel, proud but not haughty, firm but not prejudiced, clean but not prudish, calm but not hard, shrewd but not selfish, brave but not heedless, kind but not soft. Pershing lias these qualities. > We have marching orders for you —orders straight from Pershing. He has spoken to you thus: "Hard ship will be your lot, but trust in God will give you comfort. Tempta tion will befall you, but the teach ings of our Savior will give you strength. Let your valor as a sol dier and your conduct as a man be an inspiration to your comrades and an honor to your country." Then Pershing set his jaw and made an other remark, for you to heed, re member, and make good. "Ger many can be beaten, Germany must be beaten, Germany will be beaten." Follow these marching orders, and in years to come, when the peace of consecrated powers that you have brought the world tills your own life with blessing and the hearts of your loved ones with a great joy and pride in the deeds you have wrought, you will be infinitely glad, through life and perhaps through eternity, because you-were one of our boys—over there with Pershing.

HARRY LAUDER'S FAITH Worhl Famed Scottish Singer Could Not at First See Justice of Fate When Harry Lauder's son was killed, he could not at first see the justice of it. It was for his boy that Harry Lauder had been working all these long years. In an article which he has written for the January American Magazine he says: "And then, one day, it sudden ly came to me, as if in a revelation, that I had not made use of some •thlng in which I had always be lieved. All this time, while I had been raging against the cruel fates which had taken my son, there had been comfort and peace in store for me. and 1 had not known it. And that comfort and peace lay in my belief in God, and a future life beyond this earthly sphere. "While the pain and grief had been blinding my eyes, God had been waiting patiently for the first sharp agony to pass away, and when it did he gently lifted the veil from my eyes and showed me the prom ised land beyond. I mean that sud denly I realized that I had not seen the last of John, and that we were sure tf> meet in another world. "Oh, that I could convey unto you the healing balm that that thought was to my soul! I would that I could picture to you the joy of the thought that I was to see my John again at some future date, just as if he had simply gone on a long journey, and was waiting for his mother and me to come to him. And I brought his image before me, and imagined him holding out. his arms to his mother and myself to fold us within his loving embrace, and in the ,loy created by that pic ture I was able to assuage some of m.v pain and distress, and return to an almost normal stale of mind."

Ramsay Drake, Allied representatives on the interna tional sugar committee, which has just worked out a plan for dividing next year's Cuban crop among the Allies and the United States, dis cussed the sugar situation here yes terday with Food Administrator Hoover. They were en route from' New York to Cuba. The Allies, they said, must depend again upon the western hemisphere next year for their sugar supplies, as lack of shipping makes it impossible to obtain sugar from the east. Plans are for.the Allies to go through the year on half normal consumption as they realize they have had supplies in the last few months only through the sacrifice of American people. Control of available supplies by the international committee, the English men said, will keep down prices to the consumers everywhere and will guarantee an equitable distribution | among the nations rtghting Germany.
