The Christmas Atmosphere.

Among all evenings in the year.
and all the days, there is no other
evening like the Christmas eve, no
other day like Christmas day.
Whether the eve and the day be
dark and stormy, or still and fair,
= does not matter. The difference is
not in the weather or the seasons, but
in that more subtle atmosphere
which, from generation to generation
through all the centuries has been
our inheritance from the first
Christmas eve and day when a new
born babe sent its waiting cry from
the manger of Bethlehem.
The world looks different through
this Christmas atmosphere. How
ever festive or sad the occasion,
however gay or gloomy the streets
may be, whatever may be the sur
roundings, the Christmas feeling is
there. No one may say just where
in it lies 1t is like an unseen halo
that glorifies and MAKES holy every
good thought and impulse, while it
reveals in darker relief whatever is
tragic, unworthy, on. vicious. A great
shocks us as it does at no other sea-
son; a great Joy comes in that sweet
raiment of gladneSs that only Christ
mas brings. Through nineteen GEN.
turtles has this light fingered around
the hearts of men, and through all
those ages it has not grown dim.
Year after year slips by and is ad-
ded to the past But with each
Christmas eve and day our homes
and our highways are once more fill
ed with the old, sweet joy-the halo
from that star which rose over Beth
lehem.
BY steam, by rail, by sail, and by
whatever mode a man may travel
men and women scurry over the face
of the earth at this season, towards
whatever spot they know as home.
In Tuscany villages, in the German
mountains. on the plains of Greece,
in Sicily, on the bleak Russian
steppes, in the barren Scandinavian
towns, in all those old world places
that have sent their quota of wage
earpers to America, the land of gold
and promise, women and children
are awaiting the homecoming of
the wanderers. Their waitings and
longings will not be in vain.
Christmas stands for love and for
charity, for hope and for joy at the
fruition of that long-made promise
of the prophet of the coming of one
who should bring peace and good
will to earth; so the churches hold
their services and the people congre-
gate TO join in singing or to listen
to the rendition of carols, some of
which have come down from the
early ages of the church. The chill
dren have their Christmas treats, and
they are the very merriest of the
merry in their participation in these
annual school festivities.

IS NO EXCUSE FOR
 DRAFTEES
IF NOT CONVERSANT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW IS IT THEIR OWN LOOKOUT; MUST KEEP THEMSELVES POSTED.

A warning to all men who have moved or changed their addresses since they have registered for mill tary service is being scnt out by Gen cral Crowder, advising such men to notify their local boards immediate ly of such change in address.
 This is in order that the men will get their questionnaires, which will be sent out to every man beginning December Is. RegiStrants arc re- quired to keep their local boards ad- viscd of all change of address and to keep themselves posted on the se- lectivc draft law. General Crowder has sent telegram to Gov. Campbell, calling attention to the danger con fronting men who have changed their addresses since registering. It reads in part: a--
 "Pleasc cause the widest possible publicity to be given of the warning to registered men who have changed their places of abode and postofficc addresses. All such registrants must communicate immediately with the local boards where they are register cd and furnish their present address cs so that questionnaires which will begin to be mailed Dec. Is will reach such rcgistrants without delay.
 "Registrants are bound by law to keep themselves advised of all pro- ceedings in respect to themselves and failure to do so may result in their i losing the right to claim exemption or discharge
 The attention of all registered men is called particularly to the last para graph of the generals telegram, for its meaning affects every man. It IS well known that the government will not be so lcnicnt with men who run afoul of the law in the next draft as was the case in the last draft. According 10 the law, a man out
 side of the jurisdiction of the local | board. where he is registered cannot procure questionnaire from the
 nearest local board, fill it out and send it to his own local board. Each 1 que sfionnaire is sent out addressed to ahs hdAidtlsl svist{ his. serial nsInber and order number stamped onsit- This is the only questionable that the man will be allowed to fill out and return
 to his local board.
