XMAS ADVENT
~ GOTHAM kNiCkERBockER.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-Thts 10 4
merry Christmas indeed for New
York. One year ago 100000 workers
of the big cities were out of Jobs.
There s2sufferinEAi in many h0Mns,
Public and private aphilanthr opy- WAS
taxed. The I. w. w. found fertile
field for demonstrations. The busi-
ness man was chary of his gifts and
the average father Of family shut
his lips firmly when approached on
the subject of yuletide allowances.
What a change. +!
Take walk through the great de-
partment stores. You will walk in
deed, and walk very slowly, too. The
crowds are like the throngs about the
free side show at circus. Purchas
ers from the beautiful things piled
high on the tables find it difficult to
get a clerk to wait on them without
a long delay.
Prices of everything are high, an
other sign of good times. No need
of bargain sales when the difficulty is
only in handling the business. In
stead OF details of comparative prices,
some of the stores simply print full
page and double truck" ornamental
advertisements In the newspapers.
The newspapers in some cases are
printing the largest issues Of their
careers. One daily has just printed
the largest regular edition ever pub
lished in the United States. Buy, buy,
buy. say the newsstands, but the hur-
rying mob is too busy doing just that
thing to notice.
The post offices are performing
herculean tasks. The parcel post de-
partments are graphing with a vast
problem. The money order clerks are
dispatching tens of millions Of dol
lars in Christmas gifts to the ''old
folks" back across the Atlantic In war
saddened Europe.
In the big hotels rooms are scarce
and dining halls are aglow with q
spirit of affluence. Leadership IN the
spending Is claimed by the numerous
army of war babies" This name was
first given to kiting munition stocks
and has been conferred on their favor

grown rich through speculation In war
securities.
Their name is legion and they are

market winners. The public u q bull.
This time the public was right again.

by the lambs who never won anything
before. and were always considered
the legitimate prey of the professional
wolves of Wall street. ,-~. -~..- -

Anent the question OF a United

lar vote next year, there is a man
who appeals to us with particular
force and il is none other than How

there is a man in the state who stands
nearer TO the people Or has thei- con.
fdence to a greater degree than
Sutherland. He is referred TO as the
man who gets results" which is true,
and he does 1t in a quiet unostenta-
tious sort Of a way that commands
respect and admiration. That Sutn.
erland has the ability, the energy and
force. none will question, but aside
from these qualifications there is
something about the man that places
him IN the from. rank OF men. You

that he has the parts. Mr.. suther.

Of a fellow man. We do not know

THE FIELD OF

N H Illustrated London News there is published
every week a shocking series Of pictures. There
is nothing immoral or disgusting about tit is mere.
" aidouble page full of small photographs Of fine looking
young men. The shock comes when one reads the words
printed boldly above the plctures-"Dead on the Field
of Honor"
Dead on the Field of honor.
All the pictured faces you see are dead. A fine, up.
standing lot Of young Engishmen they were-inteligent
clean, brave, and gay-but they are. all dead. That boy,
with the eyes full Of glorious youth and the mouth still
sweet and whimsical--he is dead. There is a man with
the face of a chief-hrm lips and steady eyes, and square
chin-but they led him to death. This one must be a
poet, the beauty of his face revealing his mighty visions
for the future-but he is dead too. And there is a face
from the Canadian prairies, a face that is strong and
gentle. and clear eyed with looking out across mighty
acres OF wheat-eyes dull now, and dead. 1t is all dead
the youth that pushed us up and on, the laughter and
courage that sweetened the world. the dreams, the
strength, the Man.Power--all dead on the Field Of
Honor.
"0n the Field OF Honor
The field Of honor is a field in q strange land. The
marching men thought 1t was a green field, full of music
and glory. but It was just a sugarbeet field, very muddy,
and full OF trenches that in time made good graves for
the honored dead. On the field Of honor there was no
music-only a roarfand a shrleking; no marching Of
brothers banded-cnly lying fat in the mud to shoot
brother men; no glory-onlyS hate, dirt and horror,
and red pain. 1t was the field where men threw away
lfe-work, homes, the love Of women, the future Of chill
dren, the existence of a race, and then-beautiful crea.
tive life itself-the field of honor.
We look,at these pictures of the men who died on the
Field of Honor and offer a prayer for their souls and
the souls of those dead whose bodies yet live.
Then we make a prayer for ourselves.
Lord! What shall we do to be sayed?"
