ALL THE YEAR ROUND.

Christmas is losing ones life and
finding it again in the heart of another.
Wherever we find good WILL human

celebrating Christmas. The most deli
cate pleasures of Christmas spring from
the gifts we make to others. from the
happiness we can impart to Others. from
the abandonment of ourselves to an
others JOY.
The more utterly we lose ourselves in
the lives of others the more we are
keeping Christmas. The losing OF our
own life, to find it in another, is for
ever the Christmas token. Ii was OF

aHRMAN PROPAGANDA IN
LIBRARIES.

A lot of distinctly proGerman pro-
paganda in the form of pamphlets and
newspaper clippings was discovered re-
Gently in the public library at Long
Beach. Cal. The material was so full
Of untruths and half-truths and pro-
German sympathy that IL was quite
suited to encouraging disloyalty to the
United States. 1t Is to be cleared out
and similar propaganda is to be looked
for in other public libraries throughout
the country.
Much OF this stuff in the western
library had been issued by the German
istic Society OF Chicago. IL contained
a eulogy OF the kaiser. the usual lot
OF wrong conclusions arrived at from
distorted facts. an explanation of Bel
gian responsibility for any damage that
was done to Louvain and French re-
sponsibility for the destruction Of
Rheims cathedral. A statement Of the
kaiser's well known passion for peace
and a dissertation on the Germans as
exponents Of culture are samples OF the
particular brand of misinformation set
forth in this assortment of leaflets and
clippings.
