CHILDREN TO SAVE “Give a Thrift Stamp for Christ- mas. “Start some youngster on the path to success via the savings route. “Be a S. P. U. G. and a Patriot at the same time.” This is the appeal. made to. Fis: marck folk today by George F. Dullam. ‘He addresses himself particularly to the young people of the community) to whom he carries this appeal from William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury: “Nations have their childhood and their days of hard lessons just as cuil- dren do. One hundred and forty years ago, when the first American army marched to battle, our nation was younger among nations than you are among your fathers, your mo- thers and their friends. Our army had drummer boys in those days, reai boys of 10 and 12, who marched as bravely and as proudly into cannon- fire as their great chief, General Wasiington, himself. Our nation had little girls who laughed and cheered and loaded muskets for their fathers, who fired through loop-holes in their cabin hames, when the painted Indian charged to the very doors. “Where many school houses stand today, American boys and girls may have helped to fight and’to defeat the enemy, when our nation, too, was young. “We are in the greatest war of the world’s history, and we must win this war. We can and we shall win, if the boys and girls of America say so, ani mean it, and feel it, and live it, as the boys and girls of ’76 lived and felt and helped. “This pation needs that sort of boys and girls today. Not to beat our drums, nor load our muskets, but to start a ‘great work which must be done. It is the part of boys and giris today to give an example of self-de- nial and sacrifice; to teach fathers and mothers; to teach grown people ot the nation that we still have in every young heart the ‘spirit. of '76, when boys led our soldiers into battle and the girls fought beside their fa- thers at the cabin walls. ‘The lesson is ‘Thrift’—saving to the point of sacrifice—self-denial of everything un- necessary. If every boy and girl says at home tonight, ‘I will fight in this war, ‘I will save every penny and loan it to my governineft to help save the lives of tue big brothers: of \fierica ‘I will try to teach every) merican I see to do the same’—Then 20,000,000 homes, the homes of all America, will be filled with the spirit of '76, the spirit of the drummer boys, of the brave girls of those days. Amer- ica will win again, as it has always won, through the splendid ‘strengtn, courage and sacrifice in the hearts of youth, that today will teach the na- tion the lesson of saving and serving which it must and will learn, through the message which its school children will carry home. “Through saving your pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and buying thrift stamps, and then war-savings certificates, you will help your coun- try and its gallant armies to win the war. I know you will help—W. H. McAdoo.” Now on Sale. Thrift stamps and war savings cer- tificates now are on sale at every postoffice and practically every bank and department store, express office and in many other places of business in Burleigh county. A thrift stamp costs 25 cents. With it goes a card upon which 20 thrift stamps may be pasted. When this card is filled, it may he excuanged anywhere for a war savings certificate, bearing four per cent interest, compounded quarterly, and which matures in 1923 at $5. The present price of these savings certificate is $4.12, which price will hold over January. In February ,an- other cent is added, and for each new month during the year another penny is attached to the cost of the certif- cate. This certificate is-just a baby government bond, bearing a higher rate of interest than ordinary, anc running for a shorter period. Chairman Dullam is much pleasec with the interest which has been _shown in Uncle Sam's new financial enterprise, and he is confident the thrift stamp drive in Burleigh county will “go big.” MOST SERIOUS COAL SHORT BE KNOWN NEW YORK STOR Thousands of Tons Icebound on Jersey Shore Tantalizes Poor of Manhattan. *‘ New York, Dec. 15.—Homes andin- dustries in New York were confronted tonight with the most serious’ coal shortage in the city’s history because of inability to get supplies across the river on barges from New Jersey tide- water points where thousands of tons are icebound, the situation, was al- ready bad, was greatly aggravated by last night’s storm. © Investigation by the fuel administra- tion disclosed that nearly one-half of the city’s coal yards are empty, while others have only a few tons on hand. Thousands of families have no coal and scores of manufacturing - plants are said to be on the verge of closing. $t may be necessary to close many of the public schools. ling out under them. 5 BISMARCK EVENING TRIBUNE HEAVENS DARKENED BY. PLANES AS THUNDROS_ BATTLE Rit Ceased,” written by Herbert Quick. Closeup of an Air Fight Such as U. 8. Fliers Soon Will See By K. W. PAYNE. With the British Armies in the Field, France —(By Mail.)—The scene is near Ypres. Every road, village, field and railway line is in a turmoil of military activity. Yet the activity in the skies is: far more absorbing than that on earth: The whole trench line with all its curves is there charted out by a line of great golden-brown sausage bal- oons extending both north and south out of sight into the haze. British planes are incessantly dron- ing u pand down among the balloons. ‘Suddenly this dreamy aerial peace is interrupted by an unearthly up- roar. ! Out of.a sunny cloud-bank a num- ber of slow British airplanes come winging their way homeward rather low. Black shell-bursts from Ger- man antiaircraft guns are blossom- High up behind them, apparently in pursuit and as yet mere glistening silver specks, a host of Germany’s fast fighting planes aré coming over. Their part of the sky puffs from British shells. It is the crash of these rival Archie shells which first makes the heavens rever- brate. But machine gun fighting soon breaks out also, and the chase rapid- ly becomes a regular riot. It's like a huge aerial dog fight with new participants continually showing up from nobody knows where. This is no private scrap. Anybody can get into it and everybody within earshot tries to. From up and down the line and from each side of it new planes continually put in an appearance, spoiling for a fight. The British air- men violently resent the Hun’s cheek in actually daring to come over their lines, something they have long since forbidden him to do. The sky is now crackling with ma- chine gun interchanges, and thunder- ous with echoing explosions of the Archie shells, We suddenly become aware of a dozen Boche planes right éver head, so high up.as to be hardly visible flashes of silver. Nobody how they got there. Off to the north two or three mcre are hovering, and ane lone daredevil is actually closing in on us far below the usual German safety altitude. To the south another flight is heading in toward us. The heavens seem suddenly to have be- come positively stiff with German fighters, flying generally highr than the British and outnumbering them. Successive groups of British Archies close behind us open sharply on the invading Hun planes overhead, which are promptly pillowed in a cloud of feathery shell-puffs. By this time the battle has become a full-fledged riot and the innocent or tail of the rumpus. . Despite the confusion of friend and foe in one vast rough-and-tumble up- road, certain features of the melee re- main clear. The fast, fighting Boche planes are still closing in from above on the slower British planes. Suddenly we hear low down close ehind us the thunder of powerful en- gines. fighters has becn tuned up at a neigh boring airdrome. It is rising now to the fray. In perfect formation evi- dently on business bent, this air squadron climbs. And the Hun planes have seen what’s coming. No sooner are the British fighters well off the earth and headed into the heart of the scrap. than the Germans turn tail, every last one of them and beat it for safe- ty. The whole hue and cry then goes veering off eastward after them. Flock after flock disappears into the clouds where the row started. The machine gun. fighting grows fainter and fainter and fades away. NO SUGAR SHORTAGE. Washington, Dec. 14.—Declaring that there is no shortage of sugar in the United States, and that the famine is local, on the Atlantic seaboard, President Spreckles, of the Federal Sugar Refining Co., testifying today is fantastically dusted with the white’ bystander on earth can’t make Bera | A big flight of fast British! +E This picture was drawn in December, 1918—before the war began—and was used to illustrate a chapter of a thrilling aerial war story, ‘When Glory. at the senate committee's investiga- tion, placed the responsibility on the federal food administration. Sugar, he said, was now passing through New York for Canada because of high- er prices. The sugar going through New York, Spreckles said, was raw and Canadian refiners paid a higher price. “We entered ‘to an agreement with the food administration to pay a certain price for raw sugar,” said | Spreckles, “and we ,adhered to: that agreement, and the,products normally imported: into, this. country went abnmad because.hetter prices could be obtained. . We were forced to: close qur refineries for lack of supplies.” “Ti+ you could: pay a higher pri row, would you open your refineries? Senator Reed asked. “Not at once, much of the supply has gone abroad, and it would take time to get the yaw product here.” “The world supply is approximately as former years,” Mr. Spreckles con- tinued. “The available supply of the United States is the same. There is no shortage of sugar in this country, except in spots.” Mr. Spreckles said there still were 900,000 tons’ of’ last year's crop un- uséd, and’estimated the 1917-1918 crop exclusive ‘of that ‘purchased by Cer- nrany, ‘her allies ahd Russta, as 1,230,- 000'tons‘in excess’ of the amount pur- chised’ in the same territory last year. 2 LIGHTLESS NlGHTS PER WEEK ADDED 10 CONSERVATION TOLL Sunday and Thursday of Each Week All Unnecessary Ill- umination Cut Out. Washington, Dec. 15.—Two. “light- less nights” a week were ordered to- day by the fuel administrator. Next Sunday night will be the first, and thereafter Sunday and Thursday of every week will see the city white ways and advertising signs darkened, only necessary street lights used, and only such lights as the law requires in offices and stores not open for busi- ness. The new order replaces one which became effective Nov. 9 for the dim- ming of electric displays, which the administration says has been a fail- ure. It is counted upon not only to ef- fect a substantial saving of coal, but, as the announcement says, “to pro- vide startling visual evidence that the United States is engaged in the con- duct of the greatest of world wars.” The only exceptions apply to lights used for governmental purposes by | eo United States government or the government of any state and street lights used by any city or town. The state fuel administrators are di- | Tested and authorized to see that the | Provisions of the order are scrupu- lously observed. Founding of Havana. Havana, or San Christobal de In Ha- bana, as it was originally named, was the last of seven cities founded in Cuba by the island's conqueror, the | Adelantado Diego Valetquez, the date tbeing July 26, 1515. ‘Since that was 23 years after Columbus’ discovery, there cannot be many new world cit- ies older than Havana, assuming that most of the other six in Cuba have since disappeared. — Milk 10¢ gt.
