THERE WILL BE A CHRISTMAS PARTY AND ENTERTAINMENT
 AT EVERY BASE HOSPITAL.

Washington, Dec 24-How the American and French soldiers in hos pitals and in the trenches in France and to thousands of Children in the war zone, is told in the following cablegram received at headquarters here today from Paris
 The American Red Cross has pro- vided funds so that there shall be a Christmas party and entertainment in every American base hospital and Christmas tree in every ward where there are sick and wounded American soldiers and sailors. Every American soldier is to have a Christmas bag containing tobacco, cigarettes, soap, shoestrings, wash cloth, towel, tooth brush and large handkerchief filled with candy.
 Christmas trees have been arranged for at some training camps.
 One hundred thousand socks con taining gifts will be given to the French soldiers in the trenches and fifty thousand bags to wounded French soldiers.
 In towns the American Red Cross hospitals have arranged Christmas parties for the children.

After three Christmasless years the children of the devastated regions has almost for gotten to put ont wooden shoes which the French place where American children hang their stockings.

EXTENSION OF
 HOT WATER RIGHT
SANiTARlUM MOVEMENT PRO MOTERS MUCH PLATED OVER
 GOVERNMENT RECOGNITION.
Good News Received Here That Ex- tension Of the Hot Water Franchise Is Made Until June 30, 1919.

Everyone is wondering if the war IS going to kill the sanitarium. so long talked Of and worked for bv the prop erty owners and citizens committee.
 me good Jews has been received that The department of the interior, allef naying had the application be- Tore 1t since August 2S, 1917, for an l extension of the water right contract,
 have investigated to their satisfaction,
 and knowing the circumstances of the
 case and how impossible it is t) get delivery of steel 10 proceed with the work, have given the extension to the
 sanitarium promoters for the time | necessary as they see it and have ex-
 tended the water right contract until
 June 90, 1919.
 This is certainly appreciated by the Hot Springs citizens as it shows that the government has set its hand of approval upon the enterprise; it also shows that the government looks at this wonderful plan with favor; for we all know that heretofore the water right contract has only been given for
 six months, he same as the options have been called for.
 It has been decided by the sani- tarium committee that the option ex- tension which every one understands are to be called for in a short time shall be taken in the same of a com mittee Co be selected at a special meeting to be called at once; this committee to have full charge of this part of the work as it is important that every option extension be in their hands not latet than January 15. 1918, as the work of incorporating the big company cannot take place until all options are received and it is possible Co do this at once 1t has taken al- most all the past six months 10 get every option signed, as the last one was only asked for after all others were received. and the committee asked for this one on Dee amber s. and received the same by wire on re- ceipt of the request Every property owner has shown the right 5p. Tit and our citizens are proud to know that they have stood together n ,.Is work. the only regret is that one man has been unable 10 get every one in line quick enough for the eastern people 10 do anything before the expiration of the options This is why the com mitee will ask for the options and make an effort 10 close every one by January l ,. 1918
 We are to be congratulated that We have such men to work for our city, and make every effort to build this sanitarium, which will do so much for us. Everyone should lend a helping hand, and offer lheir services To get this work accomplished at once We have already received thousands of dollars of the best kind of advertis- ing from the sanitarlum, as il is no" being talked about in eyeIy city in the United B ates, and has had many printed articles appear that has cost us nothing Let us p and do every thing to accomplish this work
