two NATIONAL COUNCIL ON HQLLIDAY TRADE 1 Authorizes a Statement Which is Worthy of Our Immediate Consideration I RESTRICTIONS .PLACED ON HOLLIDAY RUSH Plans Outlined Will Allow the Greatest Good Possible Under Circumstances. The Council of National Defense ^ authorized the following statement: J The Council of National Defense | has heretofore emphasized the no- j cessity of restricting Christmas buying during the coming fall for certain specific reasons which it has stated. These reasons are in brief the necessity for saving labor and material in the manufacture and ! sale of Christmas gifts and of sav- ( ' ing the .transportation and delivery j 1 facilities necessarily involved in the ; large volume of Christmas pur- ' 1 , ; chases. < A; UT conference with ropresenta-i lives of leading industries ana retail j interests concerned, it is found that < the manufacture of goods for the coming holiday season has been substantially completed, that the trans- 1 pollution of the goods to the point ' of sale is also largely done and that ; much of the material used for Christ mas purchases, especially in the manufacture of toys, is the waste 1 material derived from prior process- 1 v es of manufacture. The reatil interests represented at 1 the conference have agreed not to increase their working force by reason of the holiday business over the average force employed by them throughout the year and not to increase the normal working hours of their force cluiing the Christmas season. They also agreed to use j their utmost efforts to confine j Christmas giving, except for young children, to useful articles and to 1 It r> nnritwl nf holid*?V OUT v..- t __ ?

In ordei to relieve the transportation facilities of the country from a congestion in the latter half of December which would be so hurtful to the interests of the nation that it canno'. be permitted, the retail interests rep resented at this hearing' have agreed to cooperate further in the Campaign heretofore and now being carried on under the auspices of th** War Industries Board to restrict deliveries end to induce their customers to carry their own package, wherever possible. j The retail interests to which r-?f erenee has been made have further ; agreed to make an announcement to the above substantial effect in their advertisemets commencing in early September and repeating same week ly thereafter. The above suggestions if faithfuly and loyally put into effect throughout the country will make possible a continuance of the holiday custom without endangering the national interests thereby. The Council of National Defense will cooperate in carrying out the suggested measure. It looks to organized business bodies of every nature and throughout the country actively to join in the movement as providing means whereby that coopcraton between the government and the people can be had which alone will permit the continuance oi holiday business in such form, or such scale, and by such methods a? are consistent with the national welfare. This announcement is defi nitely conditioned upon luviu o.nthorough cooperation in spirit am in letter on the part of sellers an< buyers throughout the country. b o Felix Seiede, a German alien fiori Sumter, was arrested in Charlestoi recently by the United States mar shal on a charge of changing hi residence without notifying the ao thoritics and entering the restricte area without a permit, which he di by assuming the name of Steons, i Ls reported. o RUB-MY-TISM Will cure your Rhemnatiax Neuralgia, Headaches, Cramp!

SLAY 500 GESSUNS I FOR TREACHERY The brilliant success of the It 1gians and the troops of Gen. Plumor's 2d Army, fighting together under the command of King Albert, is even more extraordinary by reason of the dreadful weather and the condition of the ground. In many places tho men had to wade not only waist high, but even up to their armpits. At one place a large body of Germans, said to have numbered about .">00, surrendered and were left under a small guard. Seeing their opportunity later, they did what the Germans have done so often in this war ?picked up their weapons and began shooting the Belgian troops in the back. Not one of them was left alive to brag about it in the prisoners' cages afterward.
