Beachey had become the best.known

20 years old. he was a veteran wizard
of the air, having been at it for ten
years. The ranks of the aviators
have been greatly depleted by fool

of British and Ere nch warships, and
the time drawing near for big eff

is following with renewed interest
the daily reports of operations.
The Belgians, supported by the
Allies warships, have consolidated
the ground they have won in the last
few days, while the British have done
likewise with the strip of territory
taken from the Germans near Nueve
Chapelle, and have recovered most,
if not all, of the trenches lost in st.
Elio.
simultaneously there has been
heavy fighting north of Arras, in
Champagne, in the Argonne and in
the Vosges, in which both French
and Germans claim successes.

here to be preliminary to the general

EMPTY STOCKING FUND.

For several years the Americas
Times-Recorder has fostered the
Empty Stocking Fund, and in the
news columns of the paper it has been
noted that the movement is gaining
momentum gradually.
The people of Americas need not
nave the matter brought too closely
home, but it is an urgent appeal which
the poor send forth in the Christmas
season. The ladies of the Associated
Charities distribute this money in
food and other features of the holiday
season. They handle this fund as
best they can-better than you and I
could do.
There are people in Americas who
could easily afford to donate S., $40,
$25 and even $100. They would never
miss it, and it would make some
Lids heart glad.
1t is these people who are able to
give, more able than many other peo-
pie, who should heed this note of
warning.
The Christmas season should be the
sweetest time of the year. 1t was in
this month 1915 years ago that Christ
was born In His teachings, He al
ways deminded man that the poor
Should be cared for.
