SYSTEMATIC SEARCH
BRINGS BUT LITTLE
Various Rewards Offered for the
Daughter Call Forth Responses
From Many.
By ALLEN D. ALBERT, Jr.

@HRISTMAS doesn't mean

what it used to be. Every
~ body is out for the dollar.
And this good-will-to-
men business, you know what that
is. 1t is buying a lot of presents
you can't afford and receiving a
lot you don't want The day after
But wait a minutel
Eighteen days ago a little girl
walked out of her home down in
Louisville to go to church. She
was not in any sense an unusual
little girl Her father held no high
Office. None Of US had ever heard
of her. None of us would ever have
known how that morning she
stopped in front of a drug store
and raped on the glass to at
tract the attention OF a kitten play
Ing in the show window.
But this little girl did not come
back. And for more than two
weeks, through all the season of
peace on earth and good will to
men, amongst all of us who are out
for the dollar. there has been a
yearning of hearts and an offering
of sympathy that would seem to
have been designed TO teach us what
croakers we are and that, after all,
Christmas means more now than
ever before in the history OF the
world
It Is wonderful how the human
heart can absorb such a teaching
and yet not be altogether absorbed
by IL. ! spent the past week in the
city which lost this little girl. The
Louisville papers were filled with
discussion and speculation and dis
may about her. The people were
holding meetings TO pledge them
selves as searchers for her. From
volunteer to governor, everyone
seemed to respond TO the ache in
his own breast for the parents
whose Christmas tide had become
so overwhelmingly a season Of sor-
row. Young fathers held their kid
dies close while the mothers went
from counter to counter: and
young mothers, walking Fourth and
Market streets not only soueezed
little hands in theirs but looked
down every step or two to be sure
they we're holding the chubby fists
that belonged there. Worry and
apprehension and sympathy we're
everywhere 10 be noted. Yet
Christmas promised to be glad for
them alas the parents Of the
lost little girl would have II be.
We have had our Christmas-you
and l. Unless something has been
the matter with us, ourselves, it
has been a time Of happy giving
and surprised receiving. We know
that the croaking Of two or three
paragraphs back is only a kind of
shadow to be lifted the moment the
least flicker OF Christmas spirit en-
ters the heart. Suppose we think
for a little, this Sunday after, Of
the Christmas at 507 East Broad

NEW ROCHELLE, n. Y, Dec.

served. But for whosc benefit?

In these words Clifford Pinchot,
Chief of the Forest Service of the

this afternoon threw down the
gauntlet to the opposition which is
fighting to ouSt him and his pro-
gram of conservation.
Mr.. Pinchct's reference to "the
great conflict now being fought" is
the declaration that he recognizes
the contest as a very real one, in
which the stake is big, and in which,
as he made perfectly clear in the
course of his address, he expects to
fight to the finish.

not seriously considered by the Danish
King as anything ike official
King Christians reception of Cook is
