Clears Greek Situation
This news, the most important for
some days it is believed here will so
far to.ard clearing 5he situation, es
recially in Greece, where negotiations
are still proceeding between King
Constantine. his cabinet and the min
listers of the Quadruple Entente. These
negotiations have been protra cted ow-
ing to Greece's unwillingness to allow
the Allies free use of the railways and
the right to police Greek waters
against submarines. They are not yet
completed but the latest advices in
dicate that they are likely to end in
complete satisfaction to the Entente
Towers, The assurance that Italy as
well as Great Britain. France and
Russia. is to give military support to
the Serbians in their efforts to regain
their lost territory. making the case
for Greek assistance stronger
Monastir's Danger
Otherwise the situation in the Bal
kans remains unchanged. The Serbi-
ans still hold Monastir, but their po-
sition is almost hopeless. as the Bull
2arians have cut communication be-
tween that city and the Greek from
tier. ard the Serbian troops still there
must, like the army of the North, re-
treat into Albania. when the pressure
becomes too strong.
Russian Report
There is report that the Russians
have crossed the Rumanian border
and are marching through that coun-
try 10 Bulgaria. This, however, lacks
confiTmatio and such a movement is
hardly likely to occur unless Rumania
gave her permission. which would be
tantamount to joining the allies.
Another report credits the Russians
with diverting their Bessarabian army
toward Galicia. where big offensive

Artillery Is Active
On the other fronts Italian. French
and Russian, artillery bombardments are
the order of the day. The British.
French and Belgian guns have been par
ticularly active, as have the airmen in
Flanders. and the German positions have
been given rather severe battering.
British monitors tool. part in these oper-
atoms, suggesting that this may be the
point where the next offensive will be un-
dertaken.
There is still,a good deal of talk in the
neutral press about peace, based on re-
ports from Germany of the activity of the
Socialists. and from Austria of dissatis-
faction there with alleged German at
tempts to take control Of the internal ad-
minstration as has been the case in mill

THE GIFTS FOR MOTHER

The gladdest hour Of Christmas day,
The time the hearts are lightest
An every care Is chased away
An all the smiles are brightest,
Is when the family. young an old,
From dad to little brother,
With all the love that hearts can hold
Come bringing gifts to mother.
We keep her presents till the last
An then when she sits rocking,
An all the other gifts are passed,
We go an get her stocking.
We gather round her easy chair.
First one an then the other
Steps up an says: well, I declare!
Here's something else for mother!"
An with each present goes kiss.
An all is still an quiet
When mother murmurs: What is this ?
An hastens to unite 1t.
Then everybody wildly cheers
An shouts for perfect gladness.
An mothers eyes are moist with tears,
But not the tears of sadness.
Oh, here's a scene that gold can't buy.
Or stage In Imitation,
The smiling face, the glistening eye
OF loves own celebration.
And with each jolly Christmas day
We pray to know another
When we shall meet the self-same way
And bring our gifts to mother.

NS1H2 the pine trees OF the lot
NGOVN est. These tall. stately
trees stood very straight
and still on this cold night. BY and
by the tallest and the oldest of them
said: "a
How happy l shall be when at last
am strong enough and tall enough to
be cut down by the wood cutters.
hope when they do cut me down that
may be good enough that they will
want me for some great ship, and then
shall have chance to sail the seas"
What do you know about ships and
the seas?" asked little pine tree who
stood at the foot of the tall one.
i The stately tree bent his branches a
very little and looked down at the
small tree, at his feet.
Il have heard many stories Of the
seas, and the ships that sail on them.
for the birds sit in my branches and
sing to me all the time Of the beauties
and wonders of the world Then. too,
the starbeams, who are much older
than the birds, have some truly won
derful tales to tell of things that they
have seen in their trips around the
world. There is the Starbeam of the
Brightest Star, just peeping over the
hilltop. He can tell some truly won
derful tales"
The little pine tree trembled for
very Joy. This was his first winter in
the forest. and these things were all
new to him, just as was the snow that
was covering his roots, and making
them all warm with it's white blanket.
Wont you please ask the Starbeam
to tell us a story?" asked the little
pine.
Let us ask him to tell us again the
Christmas story" said another of the
older pines, "the one he told us last
year."
So, when the Starbeam came over
and rested gently on the tallest pine,
he asked it to tell again the Story of
the First Christmas.
Il love to tell this story best of all
stories that / know" said the little
Starbeam.
Once upon a time long time ago,
long before even the oldest pine trees
here began to grow, beautiful wom-
an, named Mary, and her husband, Jo-
seph, went on journey to little city
called Bethlehem. All the people in
that country went to this same city. to
pay their taxes, and when Mary and
Joseph got there, they found so many
hat Lee
for them at the inn. The only place
where they could find shelter was in
stable, and here they went That night
a little babe was born, and it's mother,
Mary, laid him in manger on some
nice clean straw.
Away off in the East, the Brightest
Star appeared. He had never been
seen before, and some wise men who
knew that this was the time for the
babe to be born, saw the Brightest
Star as they started out to find the
babe. All their long journey the Bright
est Star kept just in front of them to
show them the way to go, and when
they rested at night, the Brightest
Star would rest too, and wait for them.
At last they reached the city of Beth
iehem, and found the little babe in the
manger with his mother by his side.
These wise men had brought some
very costly gifts to this babe, and it
Is the birthday of this babe that is
celebrated every Christmas, and it is
In his memory that gifts are given to
the poor.
THAT is all of the story, and it is
time for me to be going" and the Star
beam went gayly on, dancing over the
tops Of the trees.
