MERRY CHRISTMAS EOR SOL.
DIERS.
u. VI. c. A. Wants Cake aId Candy for
Their Christmas Party.

The Y. NJ. C. AS need home made
candy and cake to fulfill their Christ
mas plans for soldiers at Camp jack
son. If you live within zoo miles of
Camp Jackson, will you not con-
tribute?
Send boxes by parcel post not later
than December goth, plainly address
ed to L. b. Shultz, Camn Social Sec
retary, Army Y. NJ. c. A. Camp jack
son, Columbia, S. c.
In addition to the momentous
Christmas celebration planned by the
Red Cross and one which Camp jack
son soldiers will long remember, the
various Y. NJ. c. A. units will have
festivities appropriate for the occa-
sion. Already some of the secretaries
report that companies have volunteer
ed TO put in Christmas trees, green's
and holly with which to adorn the
buildings. The large open fire places
n the new buildings will be ready to
burn the Yuletide log ar a everything
possible will be done to make Christ
raas like it used to be back at home.
1t is planned to have every soldier
who comes to the Christmas celebra-
tion bring a small gift to some other
soldier not exceeding ten cents in
value, but wrapped as though it were
going 10 his best girl. These will be
collected at the door and redistributed
later SO that no man will get his own
package. To help accomp plish this re-
distribution we will have some real
sure enough Christmas girls, without
which you could hardly have a Christ
mas. What else does tne Christmas
need? Well, it needs home folks, but
the Y. NJ. c. AS are not quite able
to come across with that. The next
best thing, however, and we want home
folks who live near enough, to make
Christmas candy and cake for this
party. Tell the folks about it and
have it sent from home about Decem-
Der 20 to the Army Y. II. c. A. Camp
Jackson, Columbia, S. c., marked
For Christmas Party" These good
| things will be distributed to the Y. M.
G. A. units according To the number
of men being served, and we believe
in the home folks strongly enough to
know that there will be plenty.

from home on Christmas We will
have some party ourselves and We
want your help and know you will give

His Heart Included.

In the western part Of the United
States, the natives have achieved a
reputation for generosity as we'll as
for patriotism, and the qualities nam
ed are naturally quickened among
other people in the same section. This
may account for the splendid action
reported of one of the comparatively
new comers to that section. Accord
ing to his story, John Lampas, a
young Greek of California, gave for
war relief work his touring car, his
gold watch his bank deposit of 1921
and all the money he had in his pock
ct, about $25, and then enlisted in the
American army, with this sentence OF
his lips: THAT is all | have, and
am glad to give it"--Christiar

America, Japan, and China.

The Chinese have been somewhat
disturbed by the agreement between
the United States and Japan, which
was announced by our State Depart.
Viscount Ishii. Our recognition of the
fact that Japan has special interests
in China is by no means to be con-
strued as admitting that China is not
wholly sovereign within her own ter
ritories. Mr.. Lansing's understand
ing of the affair is in the highest sense
honorable, and is in keeping with
our demand for a new order of opeu
dealing, and of scrupui Jus regard for
the rights of all nations. Until there
is reason to take contrary view we
must believe that Japan is no less sin
cere in this matter than is Uncle Sam.
China's chief business is to put her
own household in order, and to rise
TO the great opportunity that lies be-
fore her in world of honest friends,
good neighbors. Along with this agree
ment, Japan takes over much en-
larged task of maritime policing i'm
the Pacific, and proposes to put mer-
chant tonnage at our disposal. We
can afford to pay Japan well for this
tonnage, and to give her as much
steel as we can spare for her ships
now building. We c&n also afford,
at the same time, to make China a
handsome war loan with which she
may strengthen the pillars of her new
republic, and may prepare to render
some definite aid to the cause of the
allies, such as may he assigned to
her by the great inter-Allied council
that is now forming. The 'yeIlow
peril now disappears.-From THE
Progress of the World" in the Amer

ber, 1917.
