Mess halls were splendidly decorated, in many instances with holly and inistle- toe and paper flowers made by the sol diers themselves, many of the flowers being worked into Christmas mottoes
 At various places along the lines bands visited the mess halls giving concerts for the soldiers.

 This third Christmas of the British armies in France was vastly different from it's two predecessors. especially the first. when only a pitiful handful of the original eXpeditionary force was left to form a thin khaki line against the gray clad enemy. The field army was then so small that King George personally sent a Christmas package to every one. The multiplication of that army of tens of thousands into the present force of so many millions has somewhat altered the situation.

coin.
Japanese Are Doubtful.
VIII 1t work? The Japanese do not
believe that 1t will. and they are in =
position to press the button which
will either give 1t chance or sur
round its infant years with deadly
troubles. The attitude of the Japa-
nese government was disclosed a few
weeks ago when formal warning was
rendered to Yuan against making tho
change.
The attitude of the Japanese press ID
that China, by continuing with =
change which was too far advanced
to be stopped when Japan gave the
lord of the Orient and should be
brought to book.
The government at Tokyo is pre-
pairing another warning to China Eu-
rope is engrossed in its own troubles
and the entente allies are the willing
or unwilling partners of Japan. Amer
lea stands aloof. japan has intimated
that she will not permit China to
jeopardize "the permanent peace OF
the Orient" by internal disorders.
Yuan has the army with him and be-
lieves he can put down any outbursts
which may occur. Japan, Judging
from a recent official phrase, wants a
guaranty that there shall be no out
breaks. No government can give such
a guaranty. least of all China, with 4
dozen treaty ports withdrawn from
her jurisdiction.
China complains that Sun Vat Sen
and other revolutionary leaders find
an asylum In Japan, and claim to have
proof that Sun was the instigator OF
the abortive rebellion in the Shanghai.
The arms which the revolutionaries
used were of Japanese make, and re-
peated charges are made of explosives
being smuggled from Japan to China
A large quantity of dynamite was
found in the luggage of Japanese
who landed in China the other day,
and bomb exploded with fatal results
in the shop of a Japanese merchant of
Shanghai. 1t is fact that such sci
zures as have been made by the Chi
nese authorities have not implicated
any foreigners other than Japanese.
So you get down to this, that while
the Japanese government is openly de-
claring its intention not to permit up
heavais in China, Japanese nationals
are accused of actively doing all in
their power to make upheavals. The
empire did not choose propitious
