men fighting for Italy
King Victor had planned up until the
last minute TO make q hurried trip back
10 Rome AMI spcad Christmas with his
family. Queen Eiena had planned q
Ghrstmas dinner Of hen own cooking,

= Christmas is the time for aheinweh z
(homesickness) among men of the Ger
man army, parted by the war from their
families and compelled to spend the
holiday season in the trench. Officers,
solicitous for the welfare Of their men,
know the extra strain to which the sol
diers are subjected atAthis time and do
their utmost to relieve it by making
special efforts to forward letters and
packets from home and by aiding in
getting up Christmas parties like the
one shown in the upper picture. The
Christmas tree, as il natural, since Ger.
many is its original home, plays prom
linent part in the German soldiers

Ell Paso, Texas, Dee 25-Alore than
300 shots were fired across tht Rio
Grande river last night when Mexican
SLIPPERS fired upon the outposts Of the
Third Kentucky National Guard, just
above Juarez and Ell Paso A machine
gun company was rushed to border
when the firing continued from the hills
across the river and swept the cactus
covered hills with 200 shots. Sniping
then ceased Officers here believe the
firing was started by drunken Mex
scans
About midnight several scattered
stots, followed by a volley. were fired
at Company B of Henderson, Kentucky,
under Sergeant Hancock. After a few
shots had been fired from the opposite
shore, the guardsmen opened fire. From
the headquarters of the patrol, near the
cement plant, Company i of Litehfield,
Company D of Hopkinsville, and ma
chine gun company rushed to the aid OF
the patrol. Only desultory shots. were
coming from the Mexican side when re-
inforcements reached Company b. But
a machine gun was set up and few vol
Ieys fired. @ X
Reports made to General Bell indicat
ed that drunken Mexicans from Juare2
were responsible for the sniping.
Despite efforts of federal agents Oh
the border, little further information
as to the capture Of Torrdbn by Villa
is available. From every source reports
are reaching here confirming eaflier re
ports that the bandit chief is in pos
session of Torreon, the most importan'
railway center in northern Mexico
since Friday. In military circles here il
is thought Villa S next move may be up
on Saltillo.
