American Santa GIaddenS War
Stricken Tots of France.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Quiet cere-
monies in number marked the cele-
bration of Washington's first war
Christmas President Wilson spent
the day surrounded by his family and
messages from Secretaries Baker and
Daniels conveying the nations appre-
citation went forward to soldiers and
sailors at home and abroad.
The president and Mrs. Wilson re-
mained at home all day. They had
planned to go to church but rain kept
them indoors. During the day a
Christmas tree was lighted for the
presidents grandchildren at the White
House. Mrs. Wilson distributed yes
terday gifts to about fifty children
who live near a country club where
the president plays golf. More than
125 turkeys were presented by the
president to employees at the White
House.
Christmas in a war ridden world
found the Stars and Stripes today rip
pling above holiday celebrations of
more embattled Americans in more
corners of the earth than ever before.
In U. S. Military Camps.
In improvised cities, dotting Amer
ica. there was Christmas cheer for
men. Along the battle front in France,
Sammies found joy in gifts from home
and from a new Santa Claus, the
American Red Cross.
On mighty battleships and rowing
destroyers there was Christmas spirit,
while German U-boats prowled at
hand, not comprehending, for what
has a God of blood and iron to do
with Yuletide joy? American eagles
on American wings, run by great
warm hearts of pulsing steel, flew
high in the heavens carrying, the spirit
of Christmas even into the clouds.
Spangled. tinselled Christmas trees
some of them no more than a wisp
of evergreen-sent forth a haliowed
light thru many lands.
Red Cross Their Santa.
Some of Americas warriors tossed
on beds of pain, ill of exposure or torn
by war. For them, the Red Cross was
Santa Claus, as it was to men in the
trenches and to the wistful children
of France. In every base hospital in
France the great relief society had cast
its cheer, while many French children
robbed of parents and home by the
Huns had something in their wooden
shoe from the Red Cross so that he
might know after three ChristmasIess
years that joy still rules in a world
upset.
Here in Washington. the war work
paused. Cabinet officials attended
church and had Christmas celebrations
for their children. Out thru the land
children hung their stockings over
night and found them full. at dawn,
tho many household with it's stars
in the window, turned down empty
seats at the Christmas board-noJ in
sadness but in pride that its bows were
on mission of freedom.

) KAISER'S IRONFIST SWITCH OFFENSIVE
Huns Fail in Weeks Efforts To
Break ItaIy's Line.
Divert Attack Suddenly to Fran
zela Valley, but in Vain.

italian Army Headquarters in
Northern Italy, Monday, Dec. "a
(By the Associated Press )-Having
devoted all their attention last week
to trying to get down to the San Lor-
EMO valley leading to the plain. the
enemy has suddenly turned his atten-
ton in the last "a hours to the Fran
zela valley, which gives another line
of approach to the lower level.
These valleys lie on opposite sides
of the Brenta river, with German di-
visions operating east of the river in
an effort to push thru the valley of
San Lorenzo and the Austrians fight
ing west of the river in an attempt
to effect a penetration of the Franzela
valley route.
Troops From Russian Front.
The latest attack on the west side
of the river was preceded by a heavy
bombardment This preparation was
followed up by the advance of sue
cessive waves of infantry from large
concentration of enemy forces which
succeeded in making few hundred
yards progress. The Italians, how
ever, are still contesting the ground,
their counter attack being yet in
progress.
Enemy troops from the Russian and
Rumanian fronts have been Identified
during the latest attacks. 1t is also
established that Austrian troops along
the Piave are being shifted to the
mountain region with the evident pur-
pose of conc antrating all attention on
breaking thru from the north.
The menace to Venice from the re-
cent success of the enemy in one of
his numerous attempts to cross the
old Pi..ve has now been ended by a
brilliant night attack. The Seven
teenth Bersa aglieri drove the enemy
from his foothold on the west bank
near the mouth of the river and forced
him back across the stream to his old
position on the east bank.

The British official press bureau has
announced that no further official war

the Central Powers and it is reported
that this day also may be marked by a

Processing a desire for a peace
which the entente allies say they can

BRITISH "SMoLE A SMILE
Kaiser Tells Survivors of Byng's Tank
Drive They Were Victorious.

London, Dec. 25.-Britishers drew
smile out of the kaiser's speech be
fore the second army. in which he
declared that unless Germany's enc
mics would accept peace it must be
forced by the German mailed fist and
sword.
1t was the second army which op-
posed the forces of General Byng at
Cambria and suffered one of the worst
defeats inflicted on any German army
since the battle of the Marine. The
kaiser's talk of victory was made to
men fresh from the terrors of seeing
British tanks swoop over them and
with memories of humiliating sur
prise defeat still fresh.

Kaiser Says 1t, Blazing Sword
Will Bring World Peace.
Tells Troops of Proof ''LOrd of
Creation" Is His Ally.

Amsterdam. Dec. 24.-'If the enemy
does not want peace, then we must
bring peace to the world by the batter
ing of our iron fist and our shining
sword" Kaiser Wilhelm declared in a
speech to the second army.
Despite three years of war and suf-
fering,' the kaiser continued, "our old
offensive spirit is still effective.
This is shown the German en-
peror added, by our recent great vic
tories in Flanders and at Cambria,
where the arrogant British first felt
the crushing power of our offensive
blow
The kaiser, continuing, extravagant-
ly praised the tactics, strategy and
valor of the successful defense of his
troops on the west front. He referred
specifically to the defense which Ger
man troops interposed against the at
tempt to advance toward Brussels"
as the most gigantic feat in history"
His Divine Ally.
THE year 1917" the kaiser said
has proved that the German people
have in the Lord of Creation above. an
unconditional and avowed ally upon
whom they can absolutely rely
without Him. all would have been
in vain
''It has been a year full of events
for the German army and the German
fatherland. Powerful blows have been
delivered and your comrades in the
east have been able to bring about
great decisions.
There has been no man, no officer
and no general on the whole eastern
front. wherever I have spoken to
them. who has not frankly admitted
that they could not have accomplished
what they have if their comrades in
the west had not stood to man.
Has Centralized Direction.
..rhe tactical and strategical con-
nection between the battles on the
Aisne, in the Champagne, Artois and
Flanders and at Cambria and the
events in the east and in Italy IS -
manifest that it is useless to waste
Z ords on it.
ssWith a centralized direction the
German army works in a centralized
manner In order that we should be
able to deliver these offensive blows
re portion of the army had to remain
on the defensive hard as this is for
German soldier. Such defensive bat
=. however. as has been fought IN
1917. is without parallel. A fraction
of the German army accepted the
heavy task covering its comrades in
the east unconditionally and it had the
entire Anglo-French army against
itself
after long preparation the enemy
has collected unheard of technical
means and masses of ammunitions
and guns in order to make his entry
into Brussels over your front, as he
proudly announced. The enemy has
achieved nothing.
Without Parallel in History

p1ished by an army and one without

by the German army. L don't boast.
