THE CHRISTMAS STORY

AS the winter winds sweep Ger. the
land
And fields are sere and brown,
I'll tell the simple story
Of man Of great renown.
TN tell tale Of a fellow odd
And gentle and wond'rous kind,
Who lived on earth in the long ago
In histories we find.
The doctrine Of fidelity,
Of friendship, love and truth,
To multitudes who gathered
He preached in early youth.
His depth of thought and breadth OF
mind
Amazed those sears OF eld;
And learned men before this boy,
Respectful silence held.
He was friend when sun shone out
And skies were bright and clear;
He was a friend when storm clouds
came
And night grew dark and drear.
He carried peace to stricken homes;
He healed the blind, the dying;
To every one in time of need
Some kindly deed replying.
He prized far more the widows mite
Than rich mans hoard of gold;
! He dearly loved each little child,
This kindly man of old.
No greater love this earth can know
Because his life he gave:
He freely made the sacrifice
Some stricken soul to save.
They crowned him with crown OF
thorns
And nailed him on the tree.
His dying breath a PRAYER for those
With eyes too blind to see.
I've sketched the life of the kindest
man
This world has ever seen.
In the days of the far off long ago
He was called a Nazarine.

Washington in Line.

Washington came to the front today
with rush. The long lines that formed
at the schoolhouses in the early morn
ing and for a time overwhelmed the
registrars attested to the patriotic
promptness of the people. There are
no slackers here. This community,
though deprived by law Of the funda-
mental prerogative Of voting, though
denied direct participation in govern.
ment, is in no degree derelict in its duty.
Those lines at the schoolhouses early
today stood for an intelligent appre-
citation that the law has been written
to be obeyed without question or hesi-
tation; that this is no time for the split
ting Of hairs or the raising of embar-
RAISING issues unrelated to the great
cause for which the United States is en-
listed in the war.
If every city in the country responds
to the call as Washington has today the
first American war registration will be a
triumphant proof that a democracy can
be aligned by statute for national serv-
ice. Of this result there is no real
doubt.
Evening star., 1917-06-05
The Reason for Registration.

Why are the young men OF America
registering today7 Why are they en-.
rolling themselves as possible soldiers
for the nation, perhaps to be sent out
Of the country to fghtf 1t is because
the United States has declared that a
state of war has been precipitated by
Germany through series of acts of
ruthless destruction costing many Ameri-
can lives and much American property.
It is because Germany has violated the
rights Of Americans on the seas, be-
cause Germany has manifested bad faith
and broken pledges, because that power
today menaces the principles Of de-
mocracy.
From the beginning of the war in Eu-
rope every ideal of the American people
has been violated by Germany. The
sanctity of treaty of neutrality was
torn like "scrap of paper" in the first
move. The recognized rules of warfare
adopted by international agreement were
swept aside and ignored. The most
frightful outrages were committed upon
helpless people, outrages without war
rant or excuse, distinctions without JUS
tifcation. In those first weeks of war
Germany stood exposed to the world as
a barbaric force without respect for in
ternational law or the refnements of
true civilization.
Had it not been for the invasion of
American rights in specific manner this
country might have remained neutral,
against the thought and sentiment of
the great majority of its people, to the
day of peace. But Germany, with ca
pacity for blundering that has seldom
been equaled in the history of the world,
persisted in a course that inevitably
brought this country into the conflict,
and with it others likewise disposed to
remain neutral in quarrel not spe-
officially and directly their own.
1t is fortunate in one sense that Amer
lea was aggrieved and wounded and
forced into the war in self defense, for
it made this country potent factor in
a struggle involving all that is most
precious to mankind. The United States
has become force for salvation, for
the redemption of humanity from bar
barism masking in the guise of culture
and brutality cloaked by efficiency.
And that is why the young men of
America today are recording their names
on the rolls Of honor as potential SOL
diers, to fight tine fight Of Righteousness
and humanity, as well as the fight Of ma
tional seif-preservation.

for Mr.. CLARK at Baltimore in obedience
to party instructions.
In other, states will arise from time
to time contests over reappointments
showing how closely patronage is watch
ed by those who have an interest in its
distribution. It is dangerous weapon
sometimes helping, sometimes hurting
but party leaders and faction leaders
will toy with it. AL "keep books" AL
know when commissions expire, all fig
ure on what commission is worth in
a local equation, and those most in in

Parties and Politics.

The reference in the Senate debate
yesterday to the recent congressional
election in the first New Hampshire dis
trict was more entertaining than i'm
portant. It was entertaining, for the
reason that the country at large was
advised for the first time of the use of
the war made by the democrats in their
campaign-of the effort made to intro
duce and capitalize the war for party
purposes. The people were asked from
the stump, care you for the President, or
for the kaisers"
Chucklingly no doubt-the Granite
state folk have keen sense Of the
humorous-the voters put the question
by and considered only what was at
issue. They elected the republican can
didate by substantial majority, and he
promptly interpreted the result by de-
