SANTA DRAWN INTO WAR.
Children to Protest Because They Canr
Get Toys From Germany.

Secretary Lansing need not be sur
prised If one Of these mornings when
he reaches his office he finds waiting
for him n little plump old gentleman
with a long white. wearing. like some
of the women these days, summer furS
and bearing in his hand a formidable
petition, signed by all the boys and
girls of America, protesting against the
British orders in council.
There Is reason to suspect that this
gentleman. Mr.. S. Claus, is really a
German-American and that his orig.
inal name was Kriss Kringle. The
cause that is expected to bring him
down from the north pole to brave Au-
gust weather in Washington Is the In
reference of the British blockade with
his importatiOns of Christmas toys
from Germany.
1t is estimated by several persons In
Santa's confidence. notably by Arthur
G.. Hayes, an American attorney fol
several American toy importing firms,
that $15.OOO,000 worth Of German toys
for America will be held up.

| Remember,
/ Remember.

remember, I remember,
The house where 1 was born;
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn.
You'd hardly know the old place now,
For dad is up to date,
And the farm is scientific
From the back lot to the gate.
The house and barn are lighted
With bright acetylene,
The engine in the laundry
Is run by gasoline.
We have silos, We have autos,
We have dynamos and things,
A telephone for gossip
And a photograph that sings.
The hired man has left us,
We miss his homely face;
A lot Of college graduates
Are working in his place.
There's an engineer and fireman,
A chauffeur and vet,
Electrician and mechanic
Oh, the farms run right, you bet!
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn,
Now brightens up bathroom
That cost a car of corn.
Our milkmaid is pneumatic,
And she's sanitary, too,
But dad gets fifteen cents quart
For milk that once brought two.
Our cattle came from Jersey,
And the hogs are all Duroc;
The sheep are Southdown beauties
And the hens are Plymouth Rock.
To have the best Of everything,
That is our aim and plan.
For dad not only farms it,
But he's business man.

AT 2:3O p. m. there came telephone
order from the Premier Post de Sc

Uttered with the debris of shell shat
tered houses and walls, and by sentries
who demanded the password at the
bayOnet's point. Further on q cluster
Of supply and ammunition trains i'll a
country lane kept us back, but sud-
den turn to the left showed a white
ribbon Of empty road that wound up
over high ridge before us. Innocent
it looked and inviting.
I'VE opened the throttle wide and
rushed to the summit to find our
selves in full view of the German guns
and trenches, while in the surface Of
the road we jolted over old shell marks
gaped at us like manholes. Down the
far side of the ridge we dropped at full
speed. holding our breath. But no
shells fell, and no bullets, and we in
Wardly congratulated ourselves as we
drew up near the dug out shelters hid
den in a hollow behind the French
second line, where we found an orderly
waiting for us beside final sentry.
Here the car was turned around and
the stretchers shouldered, for we had
reached a point beyond which the am
bulance might not go, since the road,
which led straight on to the German
lines, was heavily barricaded at inter
walls Of fifteen meters.
1.-The Premier Poste de Secours was
some way down the road, and we hur-
ried toward 1t with the orderly. When
we reached 1t this first aid dressing
station proved to be dugout chamber

inclined plane much as one enters to
