CHRISTMASLEAVE
DENIED AT MEADE


for the good people of Baltimore to ex-
tend their hospitality to the Pennsyl-
vania soldiers, but hardly more than a
few thousand could be accommodated,
and to select this number would bring
about discrimination and at the same
time cause additional transportation
difficulties over the electric line, which
will have ali it can do on that day to
haul the visitors who come to the
camp"
The General also explained that
many of the men are apt to subject
themselves to various forms of disease
during their visit home and infect other
men upon their return here. cat this
time of the year." he said, measles,
pneumonia, smallpox and other such
diseases are prevalent and we cannot
afford to delay the military training be-
cause of the appearance of certain con-
tagious diseases, which results in the
quarantine of an entire company at
time" He also explained that the
authorities will provide a real Christ
mas dinner for the men, with turkey
and all the fixings, and that they can
go the limit in celebrating the feast in
the cantonment.
The camp will be open to visitors on
Christmas Day as on Sundays and all
drill schedules will be suspended.
Visitors from those sections of Mary
land which have been quarantined
against because of the prevalence of
contagious diseases will not be admitted
to the reservation, however. If they
come, it was said, they would subject
themselves to quarantine here.
The announcement by General Nichol-
son was hesrtbraker for Thousands of
the men. Many who had opportunity
to get home on Thanksgiving let the
day pass in hopes that they would stand
better chance of getting away at this
time. And, too, many officers and men
had accepted invitations to spend the
hdy Will lilSIiUS IL tlOillG anu elsewhere,
and now the festivities must be held
here if at all.
Officers Of the reserve who were
recently commissioned at Plattsburg
and Forts Niagara and Myer and as
signed to this division are arriving
every day and being assigned to various
units here. Among those expected to-
morrow is Second Lieutenant Bud
Fisher, who was commissioned at
Piattsburg. Bud Fisher, creator of
Nut and jeff, will be the second mirth-
producing cartoonist to come to Camp
Meade. The other is Walter Hoban.
"father" of Jerry on the Job, who was
selected for service from Philadelphia
and who is a sergeant in the military
police.
Among other reservists who arrived
on Saturday was FIRST Lieut.. M. w.

on nigh who has visited US, to give light
TO them that sit in darkness and in the
shadow Of death, to guide our feet into
'he way OF peace, He is doing this now
and every one who accepts Him into
their hearts and lives, has received the
greatest and most valuable Christmas
gilt that can be had. Even Gods gift
to man. He has the assurance of guild
ance here and now, in the moral and
spiritual darkness that envelop8. us, and
ultimately His reception into glory. We
shall reign with our King.
Joy to the world-the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare him room.
And heaven and nature sing"
Sad comment on human nature The
king was rejected. Sin abounds. but
grace shall much more abound, and
when His kingdom is fully established
and he is on the thron, we shall sing,
NO more let sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns inlest the ground,
He comes to make His blessings flow.
Far as the curse is found"
For this day we look and long and
pray, Thy Kingdom Come, Till
then we will work to hasten it by
spreading to the ends of the earth the
good tidings of Salvation and proclaim
to all the joyful message of eternal life
for every believer in Jesus.
May true and the real Christmas ioy
be yours. To every reader, I extend
my heartiest Christmas greeting and
wish you the joys of the saved.

MAKE 1T A RED CROSS CHRIST
MAS"

With the slogan Make it a Red
Cross Christmas" an effort is beng
made to add ten million new members
to the five million now in the organiza-
tion. This is the first organized effort
the Red Cross has made to enroll new
members since this country entered the
war.
President Wilson, as head of the
American Red Cross organization. az
peals to the people Of the country to
join in the effort to increase the mem
bershio. The Presidents appeal is ex-
pressed in the following sentences:
ITO the People of the United States:
Ten million Americans are invited
to join the American Red Cross during
the week ending with Christmas Eye.
The times require that every branch of
our great national effort shall be Loyalty
upheld and it is:peculiarly fitting that at
Christmas season the Red Cross should
be the branch through which your will
lingness to help is expressed.
"You should join the American Red
Cross because it alone can carry the
pledge of Christmas good will to those
who are bearing for US the real bur
dens Of the world war both IN our Army
and Navy and in the nations upon whose
territory.the issue of the world war are
being fought out. Your evidence of
faith IN this work is necessary for their
heartening and cheer.
You shouldEjoin the Red Gross arm
of the national service because this
branch is steadfastly maintaining the
overseas relief in every suffering land,
administering our millions wisely and
well and awakening the gratitude of
every people. Our conscience will not
let Us enjoy the. Christmas season if
this pledge of support to our cause and
the worlds veal is left unfulilled. Rel
Cross membership Is the Christmas
spirit in terms of action
Esiss WOODROW WILSON.
president of American Red Cross
There are many who. for very good
reasons cannot!join the. fighting army
in the field and it would not be we'll for
the great majority of people to try.
But practically everyone can join the
army of the Red Cross. In this way
they can help to sustain those who are
making the real war sacrifices and
thereby, IN some measure, bear share
of the burden.
