Schools, churches, factories, hOmes-every sort
of habitable place is filled with wounded. And
one of the most fourishing enterprises over there
is the sale of artificial limbs.
Even from Asia comes the wall of sorrow, for
Mohammedan Turkey is religiously slaughtering
its hundreds of thousands of Christian Armenian
subjects. News dispatches of the last few days
describe the terrible plight OF refugees-penni-
less ragged, hungry, diseased, noncombatants and
exhausted beaten sOldiers-whO sweeping
out of desOated Serbia into Greece. We read Of
women with children in arms spending month
tramping through the snow-covered mountains
hoping in the end to find a little warmth and
food and peace. We read of frozen roadways
strewn with the bodies of those that stopped on
the way for a bit of rest-aud never went on.
None of the hundred million of in the United
States can appreciate the horror of it all Some
of our war correspondents over there have seen
and heard. but none has suffered and endured as
those who are part of the con1agration.
Santa Claus will have a sorry time abroad this
year. Fathers and mothers have neither the
heart nor the means of concentrating the birth
Of the Child of Bethlehem and his mission among
men. OF necessity they and their children will
fast instead OF feast-if there is any feasting it
will be a feast of prayer and hope.
America sent no Christmas ship abroad this
year Why not? some of us may ask. Why not?-
with the United States at the height of prosperity
and blessed with peace. Perhaps because we
realize what horror the is. A prominent
newspaper man in one Of our large cities-a man
who had much to do with the success of the
project last year-had this to say when the Ques-
ton was brought up;
"A Christmas ship this year-a boatload or two
or three boatloads of dolls and jumpingjacks and
red apples and candy and cakes and mittens and
red-top boots for the kids of Europe? | shall not
dwell on the fact that the warning nations have
become much more deadly in their hate and sus-
picion and probably would refuse safe passage for
the cargoes from one country to another. | shall
not concern myself with the fact that the nations

embroied look upon the United States as greedy
animal growing fat and sleek feeding on their
life blood and probably would return our gifts to
with curt "No-thank-yous."
Instead shall confess that am weighed down
with the hOpelessness of the situation. Here in
America have all we may reasonably ask of
Providence-considering sins of politics
and social injustice. Over there they are cursed
beyond the power of words to describe, and the
curse will be felt for generations.
Millions in Europe are dying in the agon1es
of starvation, cold and disease for want of food,
clothing shelter and medical aid. What a ghast-
ly joke it would be in these circumstances for the
richest and luckiest nation to offer those millions
of pitiful children a little candy and fruit when
they need milk and broth, mttens when they need
blankets and clothing, dolls and toy trains when
they need doctors and nurses and sanitary sup
plies No, this is no time for polite mementoes.
Let us concentrate on giving the only real help
that would suffice and that would be welcome
peace as soon as possible.
Let look upon the manner in which Europe
celebrated Christmas before the war.
In France and Belgium on Christmas eve the
baraques or booths, appear in the streets without
hindrance and are all ablaze with candles and
glittering treasures, for every household must
contain some bright trinket in honor of Noel. The
midnight mass is thronged; the magnificent
Christmas hymn is chanted everywhere, and then
all is gleeful holiday for hour so, for it is
Christmas morning, the peace-making morning OF
the world
There is the boudin to be eaten, the calen,
Christmas lamp, symbolcal of the star that guild
ed the Magi to Bethlehem, to be lighted. the lit
tie creche to be exposed, and all happiness, all
goodwill to everyone to be expressed before re-
firing with the grand chorale of peace sounding
in the ears. In the country the lads and lassies
merrily drag home the buche de Noel correspond
ing to our Yule log. which is kindled by the head
of the family; the boudin must be eaten and the
hot spiced wine sent round, and many a misun-
derstanding is made clear beside the Christmas

TINES RAPID FLIGHT
FASHIONS CHANGES FOLLOW IN
QUICK SUCCESSION.
Ample Evidence That We Are All of
Us Very Transtory and of Little
Real Importance in the
World.

The pictures of women's fashions OF
twenty years ago look as quaint to us
today as the fashions of like period
of time prior thereto probably looked
a score of years ago, and as odd and
queer as the fashions of a similar
length of time before that doubtless
seemed to the observer of two-score
years ago, and 80 on. At almost any
date the modes of a decade or two
previous appear more or less ridlcu-
lous, and this was probably so all the
way down the corridors of time clear
to Eve, when, there being no fashions
to look back to, there was, of course,
nothing queer about them.
In the days of tight skirts we looked
back with amusement to the days OF
hoops and crinoline. When bangs
were in vogue we smiled at the rec
objection of the chignon and waterfall
just as the days of the straight front
found the recollection of the Grecian
bend highly diverting. At any date,
from the present back to the time OF
Godey's Ladies' Book, one could pick
up fashion publication of few years
before and enjoy hearty laugh.
And so it will doubtless ever be;
the correct thing of yesteryear is the
laughing-stock of today, and the modes
of the present will be either humorous
or pathetic, according to how you look
at them, a few years hence.
And it is not alone in the matter OF
woman's garments that this rule holds
good. The cabinet organ, once sup
posed to be a musical instrument;
the Populists, thirty years ago sus-
pected of being a political party; the
silvertongued statesmen of yore,
with their tremendous pomposity and
appalling emptiness; Uncle Toms
Cabin" and "Ten Nights in Bar
room," once venerated as vehicles car
rying messages of vital import; all
are now the subjects of iests by the
light-minded.
The elocutionist, the dodo, the torch
light parade, the bluegrass cure, splr-
it-rappings, the original Swiss Bell
Ringers, madstones, croquet and very
many more once held the center of the
stage, but having served we'll or Ill
their predestined purposes, are gone
forever. The world does novel
Judge.
