Christmas
GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS

Along the eity's glowing street There move a million happy feet, And through our land is joy and song, Goodwill and right replacing wrong; For this day SO long ago The Prince of Peace came down below, And now doth love and friendships cheer Make glad our hearts and banish fear. Yet we must think this christmastide Or broken hearts and tears undried, Of homes laid waste in lands afar By that dread fend of hell called war. How Christ must grieve to see this day The carnage of this vast affray! God surely will not suffer long Such awful murder and such wrong.

CANNONEERS PRAISE
ARMY Y. M. C. A. WORK

You ask if we want the Y. M. c. A?
Yes; a thousand times, yes. No one
but the man in uniform can ever really
appreciate the wonderful work of this
association. People in civil life do
not imagine how lonesome a soldier
can get. They think that such a thing
is impossible, but let me say right
here that at times the continuous as
ISOLATION with fellows dressed in the
same 0. D. and to go through the same
routine day after day., is at times
enough to give a fellow the blues of
the worst sort. He doesn't know what
to do with himself. Then through the
night air he hears the sound of a piano
and singing. He wanders over to the
I. M. G. A. and before long he is
around the piano with the rest of the
bunch.
A good many of the fellows in both
the army and navy have enlisted in
the service of humanity and civiliza-
ton, some of them who were never
away from the tender influence of their
mothers, and only the fellow who has
gone through it knows of the many
temptations that beset the fellow in
uniform, were it not for the work of
the I. M. c. A, a good many of us
would surely forget our teachings at
home and start to slide, but with the
entertainments in these buildings, in
tern1ingled with the religious services,
we don't have to go anywhere else for
fun and instruction.
/, for one, hope and pray that this
great work will never be forced to
stop because it lacked the support of
the men at home, who were too old to
enlist in the service of their country,
or had home ties which prevented their
their duty to the boys in the service
and contribute freely to the worlds
greatest organization-the Army and
Navy Y. M. C. A.
Sincerely yours,
The Fourth Section Cannoneers, Bat

KAISER USES BREWERS
And SANDERS Citizens of Ger
man DesCent-Can This
Be True?


All that the brewers have done to
build up the German American Alli-
ance has been in the furtherance of the
most sinister and diabolical plot of
modern times, and the brewers could
not create it, finance it and run it, and
not know just where it was to fit into
the world-scheme if William Hohen-
zollern, and through the Prussian yoke.
The archives of the British govern
nlent have yielded up the evidence con-
tanned in secret report of a speech
of the Kaiser at a war council in Pots
da min 1908. This document was given
to the world last year in a book on
German Spies in England" by Will
liam Lee Quex. This report of the
Kaiser's speech had been long in the
British archives but not made public
THE speech was made by the Kaiser
to a secret council of high German
military, naval, and other officials in
Potsdam Palace in June, 1908. The
Kaiser spoke of how seas would not be
barriers, and of how he had arranged
what we in America have come recent
ly to understand as the abiding impe-
rial citizenship of German subjects
whether naturalized in other lands or
not Z On this point he said:
" I have pledged my word that ev-
cry German outside of the Fatherland
in whatever part of the globe he might
live, has a just claim to my imperial
protection
Then, swinging IL the climax of his
speech, this alien autocrat brazenly
said:
"Of course, it is too early yet to fix
the exact date when the blow shall be
struck =.
Even now 1 rule supreme in the
United States, where almost one-half
of the population is of either German
birth or German descent, and where
5000, 600 voters do my bidding at the
presidential election. No American adj
ministration could remain in power
against the will of the German voters
who, through that admirable organiza-
ton, the German American National
League, control the destinies OF the
vast republic beyond the sea. If man
was ever worthy of a high decoration
at my hands it was Herr Dr. HeXamer,
the president of the league, who may
be justly termed to be, by my grace,
the acting ruler of all the Germans in
the United States
This is what the brewers of Amer
lea have been taxing the consumer
of beer to promote. This was the Ill
innate purpose of the German politi-
cal machine into which they have been
pouring money for years"

THREATENED.
Fire in Camp.

While on guard at headquarters on
Tuesday evening fire was discovered
by Paul Stroud who was the sentry on
No. post. His quickness and heroic
actions probably averted a serious dis
aster. Too much praise cannot be given
him for the way he fought and directed
the fighting of the other men who were
present.
Although burned and almost uncon-
scious from the dense smoke, he stuck
to his post and proved himself to be
the kind of man that Uncle Sam
needs for the fight that is to come.
The boys also wish to thank the fire.

which they answered the alarm and the
wonderful way they fought to save the
three MILLION pounds of hay that were
there at the time.

Cheerful. LETTER FOR
FOLKS BACK HOME:


Camp Hancock, Ga, Oct. so, 1917
Dear Friend Harold
You ask about my impressions On
Army Y. M. C. A. work TO tell you
the truth, have been SO busy / have
not had time to take the advantage of
the good things the Y. NJ. c. A offers
except when an unusually good number
comes along. They certainly have some
exceptionally fine entertainments, lee
lures, concerts and movie shows, the
only drawback being lack of room on
account of the regiment being greatly
enlarged. The Y. NJ. c. A shacks are
much larger and better than the ones
used on the border.
If the ones at home could only look in
some evening and see the boys writing
letters, playing monographs, piano,
games or reading, l am sure they would
feel amply repaid for anything they
had done to contribute toward making
this work a success. If there was no
7. M. c. A. to carry on this work the
army authorities would be confronted
with problem of no mean proportion.
There is no department in the army
which could take it's place and / am
sure no men picked at random could
replace the highly competent and con-
genial gentlemen who direct the work
and place their entire faculties at the
disposal of the men. 1t is wonderful
how much patience they show in
handling the many requests and in
quiries of the boys, sometimes they
are answering questions from two or
three at the same time. Mr.. Timmons,
of New York City, is in charge of the
shack at the 112th Infantry. He sure
is the right man in the right place and
no less can be said of his o-workers,
who are always willing to do anything
for anWhn6U of tho
Army men here recently returned from
the western battle front, where he was
engaged in social work at the German
prison camps until he was incapacitat-
ed from duty through getting a few
Whiffs of German Gas" So you see,
even Y M. G. A. men are not immune
to casualties.
At Division Headquarters the Army
Y. M. c. A. runs what is known as the
Red Triangle Tent, where first-c class
attractions are produced at the low
cost of Is cents. These shows are the
same as are shown in the cities at any
where from so cents to 81. The first
three nights this week the original cast
presenting "The Old Homestead" holds
the boards"
feel assured the work the Y. M. G.
A. is doing to the soldiers will greatly
rebound to the benefit of all local Y
M. c.. AS when the war is over, for
many will be impressed indelibly with
this great institution and it's wonderful
work as they never were before. At
Augusta the Y. M. C. A. Building greets
the soldiers with the kindly sign:
Your Uniform Is Your Ticket" which
is in great contrast to conditions pre-
vailing some years ago when the uni
form was a barrier to certain places
of amusement, especially first-class no.
tells.
Let the good work go on. It's just
as necessary, as ammunition for the
guns 1t surely goes long way in
keeping up the high moral of our army
which is necessary first of all for sucs
cess.
Sincerely yours.

THE RED TRIANGLE TENT.
Dr. Ussher and the RerkleY Sextette


These attractions are to appear at
the big Triangle Tent, on . Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
DR.. USHER has been in the war zone
since the war began, and knows the
situation as well as any man in Ameri-
ca. He has experienced its inspira-
tions, and also it's horrors as he was
a prisoner for some time. Dr. USHER
relates what he saw and experienced.
More interesting is this than fiction be-
cause it is true to life. His subject
is 1.-THE Siege of Van"
The Berkeley Sextette is composed of
a group of talented young ladies, each
one finished musician. This COM
bination has attracted large crowds in
other camps and the boys of Camp
Hancock will surely want to hear them.

BUSINESS vs.. PLEASURE.

On a recent visit to Camp Hancock,
Fred S. Goodman of International Com
mittee recalled the following incident of
the Boer War:
1t is said that during the South African
war, in it's earlier stages, a number of
officers of the English army gathered at
Natal were neglecting the real business
of military leadership for social functions
and personal enjoyment. One morning
the following notice appeared on the bull
letin boards:
First steamer for England tomor-
row. First train for the Front this
evening. Every officer in Natal will
take the one or the other

CIVIC CLUB BUYS PLAYGROUND FOR
 SCHOOL CHILDREN

At the last meeting ot the Civic Improvement Club it was decided to purchase from Mrs. Minnie Rosenthal of Seattle the lot adjoin- ing the school property on the southeast. This lot is to be used as children's playground, and will be deeded to the town. The price paid for the lot was S4oo. It has a frontage of 3oH feet, and extends from Second street back to Cassiar street.
 The mere purchase of a lot for S4oo is a small matter when considered solely as a business transaction. Bu, this purchase of a playground for the school chill dren by few Wrangell ladies or ganized into a club is an example of true philanthropy. It required no little effort for the ladies to raise the money needed. The money was not raised by a splurge, but little at time, and it required constant and patient effort for a long period.
 The town council, appreciating the efforts of the club, recently voted to duplicate any amount ex- pended by the club in connection with the local public school. With s4oo now available from the coun. cil the conditions the coming ses- sion will be greatly improved over last year.
 Hats of to the ladies of the Civ ic Improvement club.
