Join the Sweater Club;

Give These Tots Fresh Air

THERE is going to be lots of Christmas cheer at the Bescue Home for the

24 little boys and girls who are there without papas or mamas. The

response to The Herald's appeal for money to buy sweaters and erect a

play place to protect tljese little ones from the elements so that they can

get the air and the sunshine and grow into healthy men and women con

tinues to be liberal and there seems no doubt but that the fund will be

raised.

Sol L Berg's sympathies have been aroused to such an extent that he

volunteers to give two suits of underwear to each boy in the institution

through The Herald. There are 11 little boys out there all Americans and

this means that JCr. Berg is going to donate 22 suits -of underwear for them.

There is a pair of twins, just a year old, among the 11.

The women of Willow Grove, Willow Circle, in East El Paso, moved by

The Herald's appeal for the boys and girls, have donated gingham and outing

flannel for clothing for the little ones.

The Herald's fund for the tweaters has been more than raised and there

is every indication that the fund for the play place will be completed. The

total will require but little more than 100 and already over $50 have been

contributed; to be exact, the total was" $74.25 at noon today;

Don't wait too long to help, for it is necessary to raise the fund at once

if the playground is to be completed as a Christmas present for the little boys

and girls. If you feel tliac you want to help these little kiddies, do it now.

Every cent will be spent for them. There will be no "overhead expense"

The Herald will get the plans for the proposed play place and will have con

tractors figure on them and will have the work done by contract and pay for it

from the contributions when the work is completed.

The sweaters will be purchased and taken to the children themselves, two

weeks from today, Cbristma eve. The Popular store will give the sweaters

at cost.

Berlin. Germany, Dec IL The Berlin

Vorwaerts, discussing the probable ef

is winning the war, and that neither

uermany nor Great Britain will get

anything out of it commercially. The

Vorwaerts say a:

"The sudden withdrawal of German

exports from the world markets af

fords the United States a tremendous

opportunity for extending its trade.

particularly in South America, where

financial SSKS

ine accompanying financial expansioi

will be made easy by the new Ameri

can currency laws.

"If the American operations are

skilfully carried out, the English

bankers in South America will feel

their effects and Americans will rap

idly secure such financial predominance

in the southern continent as under or

dinary circumstances could not be ex

pected for 50 years.

"The Epropean belligerents must

continue for a long time their large or

ders for merchandise and foodstuffs

from the United States and the money

with which they .will pay for them will

provide plentiful resources for the com

mercial campaign in South America.

Would Increase Size of All

Yards in Order to Build

All U. S. Battleships.

Washington, D. C Dec 11. Three

navy yards on the Atlantic coast and

two on the Pacific will be equipped

to build battleships under the plan

which secretary Daniels will present

to congress.

He said today one of the first dread

naughts or battle cruisers included in

the administration's plan will be built

at the Philadelphia yard, where an

expenditure of $1,000,000 will be neces

sary on equipment. He hopes to see

the Puget Sound and Norfolk yards

equipped eventually for building capi

tal ships.

The result would be to give the gov

ernment five yards. New York, Phila

delphia. Norfolk, Mare Island and

Puget Sound, where heavy ships could

be laid down. It would mean virtually

doubling the battleship building facili

ties of the country, since only five pri

vate concerns now are equipped for

the work and only three have bid for

recent battleship contracts.
