Christmas Ship Idea Popular in Wash
ington.
The spirit of the Christmas ship
idea, designed to carry to the war
orphans something of comfort and
cheer, is appealing strongly to the
people of Washington, and already
signs are manifest that when the time
comes to send the capitals consign-
ment of gifts for the war orphans of
Europe. a splendid sbowingwill be made.
1t is believed the project will prove a
success far beyond anything its Origi-
nator imagined. Never before has such
an opportunity been offered to the
boys and girls of the United States for
the doing of work of kindness,
friendliness and genuine good will.
While the older people will help, it is
especially hoped that the children of
the nation will feel that this is their
part toward bringing sunshine to these
unfortunate little ones.
