Some are lucky enough to have ap-
petite for formal dinner on the day,

each individual for himself. In
some cases the condition will solve
itself.
Mercantile houses will be open for
business during the forenoon.
Banks will not be open at all. The
delivery windows at the ~postoffice

little -year-old Sol of Mr.. and Mrs.
C. w. Clute, 402 North Waits ave-

Christmas afternoon by the prank OF
a playmate.
Earl, the 7-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. d. Miner, SIS West Sixth

Christmas. Playfully he stood his
little friend up against the wall and
shot at him, the missile striking the
eye. The Clute child was taken to

tempts to save the sight failed. The
bullet was located in the back of the
eyeball, and an operation was impos-
sible.

DELAY OF CALL
LAST INCREMENT WILL BE
PLACED UNDER NEW CLASS
LITIGATION REGULATION.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 31.-Final
increments of the first national army
assigned to Camp Dodge will not be
called, but the men in these quotas
will be placed under the new CLASH
fication regulations, according to or
ders received here from Washington.
The orders, issued by Provost
Marshal General Crowder, apply not
only to Camp Dodge, but affect all
deferred percentages of the first
army for which there will be no
more formal call before February
Is" General Crowder's message
follows:
ut has been decided there will be
no formal call for deferred percent
ages of the present quota before Feb
ruary Is. While boards should, un-
til they have enough men finally
classified in class one, send forward
promptly men selected under the old
regulations to make DEFICIENCIES in
calls already made, the result of this
decision will be to enable men whose
order numbers are so late as to place
them within the deferred percentage
of the present call.
Calls will, however, be made very
shortly under the provision of section
149 for the special class of men there
mentioned"
Section No. 149 relates to the in
duction Into military service of tech
nical and other experts and of regis
trants highly skilled in some special
line of work"

women OF FRANCE
SOUTH DAKOTAN, BACK FROM
MONTHS In SERVICE, TELLS
OF CONDITIONS ABROAD.

Parker, Dec. 31.-Rev. Walter j.
Sherman, a former South Dakota
young man, who has returned from
several months of Y. M. c. A. service
in France and Is now visiting with
his wife, Mrs. Lottie Steninger-Sher-
man at Parker, in commenting or
conditions in France, says:
What is IL like over there?' The
question is repeated by anxious rela-
tives to whom distance lends little
enchantment and less enlightenment.
Well, the old biographies were right
in splitting the earth into two hemi-
spheres. 1t is a different world owe
there. 1t is a sad land. One feels

receives is when he discovers a
squad of women repairing the street
car tracks. A woman drives the
street car. Women sweep the
streets, run the stores, till the soil.

about the women of France, black
eyed beauties in deep mourning ev-
e~rywhere. / confess I don't dare at
tempt 1t. My wife wouldn't under
stand. Men are at a premium. One
soon gains the impression that
France Is bleeding. None but infirm
men and school boys are clothed in
civics. The people are stunned and
silent. Imagine then with what emo
ton the toiling m in black, the
tottering old men and the eager chill
dren lift their pale faces when the
rugged lads from yankee land come
swinging down the street! The band
makes the air electric. The man who
amid such surroundings could hear
that old bloodstirring 'Marseillaise'
and our own battle song about a star
crammed flag and a heaven-rescued
land and keep back the hot tears of
pride and pity-well, 1 didn't see any
such. France looks upon our boys as
saviors. Children follow us in the
streets crying. 'Vive IAmerican' and
over and over again the patient poi
lus ask, When are they coming, the
Americana All that France has
left to give is at our disposal; her
best and her worst. The men in our
camp were quartered in splendid
stone barracks in a great camp given
over to us by the French. Not many
men are as fortunate as these; the
others are billetted in lousy barns
and leaky tents. They are well fed
and our men were well clothed. Our
task in the Y was to provide whole
some interests for the men when
they were not at work. They are not
used to the wine and brandy that is
everywhere on sale and sometimes 1t
was necessary to establish in the
town cafes of III own wherein a real
American lady in charge of the cold
lemonade or hot chocolate helped to
offset the most dangerous element of
French life. The fighting itself is
another story. That cannot be hui
manized. We have gone into the
butcher business. Two titanic forces
have perfected machines for turning
out mutilated men. Do not be de-
ceived as to what war is. Prepare
your hearts for the sacrifice that
