The appalling vision of Santa
Claus wearing long striped pantaloons
and star-decked ribbon on his hat
naturally is occasioning trouble in
Europe. The American department
store. it appears. has invaded Paris
and American toys will deck the kais-
er's Christmas tree. Also, an Amer
lean graphophone playing American
coon" songs will contribute to the
Christmas gayeties in Wilhelm's
household. 1t appears likely that San
ia Claus himself will wear American
boots, ride in an American automobile
and speak the continental tongues
with well-defined American accent.
Possibly turkey and cranberry sauce
will supplant roast beef and plum pud-
ding in England and take the place of
wurst and pretzels in Germany. It is
no wonder that the transatlantic
nations glover as they talk of the
American invasion. Commercial in
vasion is all well enough. but when It
comes to surrendering to an American
Santa Claus national pride and loyalty
rebel.
