Response Liberal For Fighting Men's
Christmas; Many Boxes Weigh
100P ounds
New York, Dec, 10.-Nearly 600,000
Christmas packages have been sent
to Ameican soldiers abroad as a re-
sult of the public's response to the
campaign urging early mailing of
gifts, according to railroad board re-
ports.
Military authorities have been de-
luged the last few weeks with parcels
of varying sizes, each one having to
be opened, examined aRnl rewrapped.
Great care, was taken to safeguard
the gifts from damage. After inspec-
tion the smaller packages were placed
in large wooden cases. A force of
box-makers was on hand, and new
wooden boxes were made for parcels
that had been damaged in shipment.
Although the limit had been placed
at 20 pounds, no packages wer. re-
jected; many of them weighed over
100 pounds. No delay was permit-
'ted in the handling of the boxes. They
were not kept in the examining quar-
ters more than a day before being
placed on board ship.
Officers in charge of the Christmas
shipments were amazed by the man-
ner in which friends and relatives of
the soldiers observed the requests of
the railroads to send gifts early, thus
insuring arrival abroad before Christ-
mas.
"WE ARE READY NOW"-NEW
NAVY PREPAREDNESS SLOGAN
Washington, Dec. 10.--To a young
officer, commanding the first flotilla
of American destroyers to reach the
war zone when the United States en-
tered the world war, Secretary Dan-
iels turns in his annual report, made
public today, to find the war slogan
of the naval service. Asked by the
:British admiral to whom he reported
when his ships would be ready for
work against the submarines after
the long voyage, the officer replied:
"We are ready now."
"That was not the language of
boasting," Secretary Daniels says in
describing the incident. "It was the
prophesy and pledge of our service
with those fighting in a common cause.
"While I may not speak in detail
of the greater naval operations, it
may be stated that the record is one
of increasing power, of developing re-
sourcefulness and of co-operative
achievement which the American peo-
ple may well survey with national
pride. . While the details of what we
have done and how we have done it
must wait until it is permissible to
spread them upon public record, this
summary may be given to our people.

U. S. WILL ATTEMPT WINTER
NAVIGA'IION ON GREAT LAKES
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Dec. 10.-
Extraordinary efforts are to be made
to keep navigation on the Great
Lakes open throughout the winter
owing to the freight congestion.
Whether the plans are successful or
not, marine men believe this will be
the longest season in history. The
government will place large steel tugs
on the St. Mary's river, to keep the
channel open.
Tugs and freighters will be used in
other places. jIt is feared, however,
that in mid-winter it will be impossi-
ble to prevent ice from jamming the
harbors, ev though the channels are
kept clear. The greatest trouble is
anticipated in the St. Clair river,
which catches drift ice from the up-
per lakes. All sea-going freighters
are being loaded to the limit and in
many instai ces carry treble what was
formerly considered bulk capacity.
Warfield Suggestes New Railway Tax
New York, Dec. 10.-An excess pro-
fit tax to be levied on the earnings of
the railroads after their freight rates
have been adjusted so as to enable all
of them to earn a fair return was
suggested in an address by S. Davies
Warfield of Baltimore, which he de-
livered here today before the annual
convention of the Association of Life
Insurance presidents. Warfield, who
is president of the National Associa-
tion of Owners of Railroad Securities,
and chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the Seaboard Air-Line Rail-
way company', was speaking from the
standpoint of the investor.
The fund derived from this propos-
ed excess profit tax, he said, would
go either to the government or into
a fund to purchase equipment to be
leased to the railroads, the govern-
ment to loan this company sufficient
money to purchase equipment neces-
sary to supply the requirements of all
the railroads.
