the SANTA CLAUS suIr.

There was not 80 much attention
given IN the press dispatches OF the
sailing d tho santa Claus snip, ia
son, from the Emitted States, last sat
ufday, as the Incident was entitled TO.
The ship carried FIVE million presents
from this country 10 the children Of
the warning nations 81 Europe. all of
which, except The TURKS, have the
Santa Claus legend woven into their
social and religious fabric. They are
Christian nations though just now
engaged in the un-chrlstian conduct
Of kliIlne each other.
We have an idoa that the santa
Claus ship viii reach IFS destination
safely. Santa Claus himself is az the
helm. As she passes by dreadnaughts
and submarines, through mined scas
and under the guns Of massive forts
some special providence win preside
over her safety until She reaches the
ports OF the unhappy nations with her
messages Of peaee On earth and good
will TO men.

ENeLASps ALARM.

The journal publishes elsewhere
on this page an article from the Lon
don Spectator BY which 1t may be
seen that Great Britain Is taking the
possibility OF an invasion seriously.
That was the dream Of Napoleon.
More Than a hundred years ago he
gathered men and transports Al CAL
dis, but never attempted TO cross the
channel because the British fleet was
master Of the seas.
According TO the London Speeta-
tor. the probable plan Of the Ger
mans IN to secure favorable foothold
on the eoaat, weaken the British
navy by keeping up the work of de-
struction so successful 80 far as TO
cause general apprehension, by
means Of submarines and mines, nn-
III the German fleet. held securely In
the Baltic sea, can come out and meet
the English vessels on more than an
equal footing
There Is also the suggestion that
regardless Of the British fleet, a
force might bc landed from transports
protected by mines und submarines
Wild as the scheme appears, there Is
no doubt that the Germans are not
continuing their desperate and
bloody struggle % break through the
lines Of the allies toward the coast
without well thought out plan for
utilizing the positions when once Sc
cured.
But the German plan to repent
the dash On Paris. of forty-four years
ago, failed. II Is not probable that
0uy scheme for a successful invasion
Of Great britain can succeed. Power
ful as the Germans are from a mill
tary standpoint and resourccful be-
You'd belief. MS they have shown
themselves. there are THINGS that men
cannot do.
