Miss Bissell argued, why not the Americans?
 She consulted her friends, secured all the publicity she could, and launched the movement. It proved to be wonderful success, and thous- ands of Christmas parcels went out bearing the gay little seals. People were delighted with them. They ad- ded to the appearance of their gifts, and they liked the idea of helping a big cause in this unique way
 By Christmas s3c06 had been raised. Miss Bissell was elated. She saw a great future for the little seals but she had difficulty in making others see it. She appealed to the American Red Cross 10 take over the venture, enlarge it and conduct the sale on a vast scale. The Red Cross authorities at first could not see how they could make this part of their national program. but Miss Bissell proved to them that fighting tuberculosis by means of harmless and attractive Christmas stamps was worthy peace-time propaganda.
 With some misgiving and at a slight cost the Red Cross printed the seals for the second years cam paign. The result more than justi- fled Miss Bissell's expectations. for $135.0O0 worth of seals were sold in 1908. The Christmas seal became a national institution. The manage. ment of the sale was turned over to the National Association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis and each year since then sales have increased by leaps and bounds.
 Last year 1O5 ,00O.O 900 stamps were sold. bringing the total sales for the nine years up to $4,3O0,OOO. This year the three million mark has been set as a goal and the American Red Cross and the National Association are striving to raise the record breaking fund of S3.000000 with which to fight consumption.
 The policy on which the sale is conducted is to give the community in which the money Is raised the benefit of it's own efforts. About 90 per cent of the funds therefore remain in the community and go to state and local anti-tuberculosis work providing propaganda to prevent the spread of the disease. maintaining senatorial and visiting nurses to educate the public and to care for the afflicted. The Red Cross takes the remaining ten per cent to meet the actual expenses of the campaign
 Don't forget that every seal you buy will help to carry out our pro gram of national physical prepared ness" is the appeal of the workers This year the work is intended especially for the protection and care of soldiers"

for thirty-eight men and that 12 cats were kept. Cats were everywhere, some sleeping on folded blankets and some proving in dark corners or stalking their prey.
 The men all appeared to be in the best of health, although during the wet and cold weather of previous days several men fn this unit had contracted trench feet and colds.
 While the sun was going down be- hind the hills and darkness was coming on swiftly, scarcely a shot; was fired. Just as the sun passed below the horizon, however. the German batteries opened up OF one of the American battery posi- tions with a hot fire, the high ex' pfosfves bursting with the regularly of the clock tfck-about one every two minutes and then ended abrapt ly. Immediately the American pst' teries retaliated, flashes of oraneo colored flame stabbing the nign.

AMBUSH OF AMERICANS
 WAITS IN VAIN FOR FOE

With the American Army in France, Nov 21-Only the fact that the Germans failed to venture into no mans land on a recent night saved them from an American sur prise. One hundred and sixty men of the first battalion to enter the trenches for week received special training and, after being transported to the front, crawled across no mans land and took positions in front of and in the German wire entangle- ments at a point where it had been discovered the enemy came out every night
 Each man had been trained in a special task and the entire unit had rehearsed the part 1t intended to play under conditions similar to that in front of the German lines. The Americans reached the position soon afer dark and remained in waiting all night, but not one German appeared either there or at any place in no mans land.
 The plan was to permit several groups of ten to fifteen to emerge and meet at rendezvous. Then the Americans would fall on the enemy and repay them fully for recent trench raids.
 A cold which a soldier caught in the trenches brought him a wound in the hand and gave warning to a German patrol of an ambuscade near a shell ruined farmhouse in no mans land. Several of the Americans had colds and coughs, but managed to control them. Finally, when the shadowy forms of an enemy patrol were seen approaching one of the Americans coughed. The enemy pa trol promptly disappeared toward it's own lines from which there soon afterwards came a hail of machine gun bullets, one hitting the man who had coughed
 Two staff officers recently had a narrow escape while walking along a road in the rear of the lines. They heard the whizz of an enemy shell and jumped. thinking 1t was close by, when the projectile came down in the center of the road on either side of which they were walk ing

ORIGIN OF THE RED
 CROSS CHRISTMAS SEAL

Nine years ago Miss Emily P. Bis sell. of Wilmington. Delaware, well known social worker. conceived the idea of the Red Cross Christmas Seal. Miss Bissell knew from per sonal experience that the only way to fight tuberculosis was by means of a popular campaign of education, and she knew this could not be car ried on without money.
 She got the idea of raising this money at Christmas time, when the spirit of humanity is at its height, from an article by Jacob Riis, in which he described the stamps used by the Norwegians in their fight against the disease. If the Norwe- gians could raise money in this way,

Americans had taken advantage of the rainless weather and were deyot- ing all their energies to changing, as they put it, Germans into casual ties" They are on their toes every minute and are not letting a single opportunity slip to drop shell or to send machine gun and rifle bullets where the enemy is seen, or where he is suspected of being. There is no doubt that the men like the life they are living. They are as cool and methodical as if they had been doing nothing but fighting through out their lives.
 The fine group in the first line trenches had just sat down to salmon sandwiches and coffee when they jumped up and cut loose with auto matic rifles at Germans who were discovered hanging out clothes on a wire in a battered village. The Americans saw the enemy dive for cover like rabbits, and then went on with their meal as if nothing had happened.
 This particular part of Frances long battle front in the earth does not absorb water like sponge as in some other localities. There has been no rain for three days, so the ground is fairly dry. The uniforms of the men show evidences of where mud once had been, but that is all.
 From the first line trenches which are on a hill the German first line can be seen clearly between 800 and 1 ,000 yards away. There was some thing in the first line once which will never go back to Germany. It is a woolly dog which deserted the enemy, crossed no mans land and bounded into an American trench one dark night recently. It licked the hand of an American 'doughboy" and was promptly fed with a piece of white bread and a handful of Columbia river salmon. 1t was adopt ed and now roams all around the trenches and even walks on the parapet and through the barbedwire entanglements as if there were no war
 "This pup" said one of the sol diers. 'is a naturalized American, and there is no hyphen about him. He has entirely forgotten all his Roche connections. I hope he gets a chance to bite the kaiser"
 As the correspondents approached the trench lines over the shell-pitted ground the enemy started breaking shrapnel over the first line This firing lasted only brief time, stop ping as suddenly as it began. Im- mediately afterward came detonation from the rear and the whizz of shells overhead as the American batteries got into action. Then some puffs began appearing over the German trenches. The infantrymen looked cautiously over no mans land while the firing was going on, but as soon as it was over they appeared to for get all about it.
 In a nearby dugout the men off duty had not even heard the racket. Their principal worry seemed to be rats.
 One occupant of the dugout explain ed that there was sleeping room in it
