Germans Make Gains.

Germans Make Gains.
 The Germans have recaptured portion of Delville wood and obtained a footing in the northern outskirts of Longueval, the war office announced today.
 The announcement follows:
 "The enemy's attack last night, the beginning of which already has been reported, was directed against our new positions east of Bazentin vil- lage. Very large German reinforce ments had been collected for this attack After an intense artillery fire the first assault was delivered in dense masses at about 5:3O o'clock in the afternoon. The fighting continued all night and was particularly violent in Delville wood.
 After suffering very heavy losses the enemy succeeded in recapturing Delville wood and also obtained footing in the northern outskirts of Longueval. The struggle in these areas is still violent.
 Elsewhere the attack, including three separate assaults on Waterlot farm, completely broke down under our fire"
 East Africa Operations.
 An official report today on the cam paign in German East Africa says:
 ''Telegraphing July IS, General Shuts reports the enemy force which endeavored to operate against his communications north of Handeni and on the Usambara railway between Korogwe and Tanga have now been driven down the Pangani river, aban- doning a field gun. Clearance of this area is progressing satisfactorily.
 "On the southern shore of Lake Victoria the force under Brigadier- General Sir c. Crewe, having disem- parked at Kongoro, occupied Muanza during the night of July 14-15. The enemy evacuated the town after slight resistance, leaving many rifles, a portion of supply column and naval gun of the cruiser Konigsberg in our hands. A majority of the Ger man Europeans embarked on steam ship and fled southward by Stuhi- mann sound. pursued by our armed lake vessels" T7HIX

You grown people may smile little
wistfully to see another leaf of ro-

boys and girls the world over know
better. They know who makes the
toys and who brings them. They
know how old Santa Claus comes
down with his heavy pack from the
snowy spaces between the stars
down, straight down. through the
chimney in skirl of wind and
furry of pOwdery flakes. and gets not

Christmas Afternoon

TINE afternoon of Christmas day
may be rather quiet one for the
older folks. The gifts have been
unwrapped and arranged and lowered
over from time to time. The usually
tidy room looks like a bazaar for the
sale Of fancy goods. Perhaps neigh
bors and other friends may come to
exchange Merry Christmases!' and to
say, May thank you here for your
lovely gift?" And after the departure
of the visitors certain names will be
cheerful!y erased from the list of pros
pective thank YOU letters.
Between the dark and the daylight,
after the callers have gone and the
children have returned from their play,
comes the peaceful and happy Christ
mas evening. The great day is dying;
Christmas Is nearly over. 1t will be
whole year before we shall enjoy its
merriment again or remember happy
Christmas seasons of the past. We
may lose many things-home. friends,
health. money-but memory abides.
and no one can take from us the hap
pAACSo IAdI Lag OuSC UCCu OulS
On Christmas night we remember
the old days. We think Of those who
were once here to share our joys.
"Christmas never can he the same
again" many people exc|aim when
they feel as If the 10Y Of life has gone
forever. If we all took that view
Christmas itself might die 1t de-
ponds upon deep spiritual insight.
Let US, If we can, forget for today
our troubles and even our sorrows and
try to rejoice. If we have children
about us 1t is not hard to be merry,
but If we have none of our own there
are great many who ought to be
made glad and may be found with but
little trouble
A merry Christmas to you all! And

ASKS SUPPORT FOR WILSON

The Locomotive Firenens and Engineers Magazine for November,
published at Columbus, Ohio, in its leading editorial, discussing the Adam
o eght-hour law, says in part:
1t mus b clear to every nal who earns a living as a railroad m
ploye that in voting against MI. Hughes a the coming election he is vot-
ing for better wage and employment conditions, for the protection OF his
home and 6reide, and the furtherance of the wenbeing of his family and
himself. We have absolutely no doubt that Mr.. Hughes owes his nominal
ton to Wall Street, o the powers of wealth and special privilege, to
the big employing interest-in short, o the master lass-and that these
interests are spending enormous sums of money in n effort to elect hrm
president of the United States.
"Why is it that the manufacturers associations, chambers of ON
nerce, non-union employers and all the interests that are opposed to
organized labor are actively and earnestly supporting Mr.. Hughes
candidacy for the presidency?"

COMMUNITY

Margaret Wilson, the eldest daughter of the president, has interested
herself in the evolution OF the community house from the school house.
Miss Wilson argues that as the education of the child has been taken
out of the hands of individuals and made a public matter, why not do the
same with his recreation? She points ut the fact that public school
buildings in which great sums OF community money arc expended pay
dividends only during the six or min months OF school term, and that
this is al economic waste Her solution Oft the question would be to-
make of the school houses places OF public recreation for children where
they might enjoy the same pastnes as those which are to be had else
where, but under conditions favorable to the moral growth of the child
re
Many women of note are interesting themselves in the movement and
the idea all are urging is to make public school buildings not only the
center ola amusement for children, but center ole education for men and
women; spots where community problems might be discussed and solved;
as we'll as voting polls.
Within the last few years the idea of making social centers of school
buildings has met with approval and twenty-sx states have amended
their laws to make this movement possible. Wisconsin "a the first to
recognize the school building a a piece Of public property to be used by
the public at all times.
