UHE war lays it's hand
upon us this Christ
mas.

The Ginning carols may
seem almost lost amid the
blasting Of the guns. The
candles in the windows of
our homes will shed their
little beams into a world
brilliant with liquid fame.
We will celebrate Christ's
birthday singing 49,. and
on earth peace, goodwill
toward men," while we urge
or. sons to train their minds
and their bodies for the kill
ing Of their brothers. But
the Red Cross has taught
those of us who have suf-.
fered, to see double: and it
will be a Red Cross Christ
mas this year, wherever
Americans are grouped to-
gether.
This is what / mean by
seeing double: there are over
100000 members Of the
American Red Cross and the
campaign drive now opening
should result in over 5,OOO.-

larger figures. But the

country last year for candy.
We have learned to talk and
think in billions. But one
cent can buy enough iodine
to disinfect q wound-and
the disinfection of that
wound may save q human
life.
And, after experience with
the wounded, there comes
the time when one sees in the
horror of the shattered flesh,
the beauty of the spirit.
TT is a strange holiday for
L us Americans, with our
new excitements and our new
emotions; our new soldiers
IN environments or foreign
trenches, and our new sailors
on mined seas; reports of
our first dead, and our letters
from the front; our fears and
our Citations; and the occas-
ional flash of vision Of hun
dreds, Of thousands of boys
and men in khaki in miles
upon miles of army barracks.
Many Of them, too, are
aching with new tenderness.
It is the time Of times, in
our new puzzlement and
need, to sing the Christmas
carols Of glad prophecy. The
city chimes and village Or
gans, singers going from
door to door, will chime and
peal and carol as they never
have before, the Christmas
message of good things and
great JOY which shall be to
all people.
We owe it to our men to
sing it with full hearts, SO
that the spirit of it will reach
their battleships and their
camps. They must never
forget the happiness of this
Christmas, the last, doubt
less, before they go across to
offer-all they have.
The Red Cross is trying,
and expects to send every
man in training a Christmas
parcel of Christmassy things
as a symbol to show him how
much we care, and the things
we cannot say in words. The
boys in their barracks will be
celebrating. swapping pres
ents, joking and singing,
adding a Christmas song to
the familiar round Of swing
ing choruses. But before
another Christmas perhaps a
million more young soldiers
will have followed them over
seas.
COME of them. until the
~ day they put on the uni
form, knew only school fun
and home love. Their stock
ings were darned, their favor
tie things to eat were cooked,
every minute of their holi-
days planned, their young
hopes regarded with yearn-
ing eagerness by their fam
lies. Some of them were
born seemingly to be knock
ed around, and have the hard
and lonely end of things.
Both are going abroad to-
gether now, serving the col
ors, defending our lives with
the offer of their own.
There viii be a day when
one of these boys will be hurt.
Suddenly his strong young
body will be quite helpless.
