Nothing can down him. Out of the SEEM

wonderful man than ever before-a man
with renewed faith and a purpose TO serve

unforgettable human document"
To begin with, Lauder gives first credit
for this fact Of fortitude to the power Of
his religion. He writes:
From the shell-drenched trenches of
France TO the peace and security of America;

A MERICAS first war Christmas
n suggests a comparison with that
Of 1862. the first Christmas after
the heavy fighting of the Civil War had
begun. The Tribune Of December 25,
1862. furnishes material for many strik-
ing contrasts with present-day conditions
The war news Of that time was all do
nestle; now it IS all from Europe. There
was 10 European news worth mentioning
in The Tribune Of December %, 1852, no
cable being at that time in operation; on
this Christmas It printed many columns
from the other side. II is q curious fact
that the paper had more news ffty-fve
wears ago from Asia than from Europe
This was due 70 the fact that British
steamer from Hong Kong had just arrived
AZ San Francisco. Among other things it
brought the news that the revolution in
Japan was complete; the Tycoon had been
stripped Of nearly ell his special prlVi-
leges.
The home war news Of this Christmas
could all be classified under the heading Of
preparations, whereas ffty-fye years ago,
then in its second year Of war, the country
was in the thick Of the fighting. In 1862
the seven days battles to the east Of Rich
mond and later on the Battle Of Antietam
had been fought, and the disastrous attack
Of Burnside at Fredericksburg had just
occurred ton December 49,. The Tribune
Of Christmas Day was still filled with news
Of the battle; there were nearly two COL
umns Of officers and men killed, and five
columns we're filed with the proceedings
Of the Committee on the Conduct Of the
War, which was hearing the testimony Of
Burnside and his leading generals at

Horace Greeley also printed an editorial
sharply showing up several New York

w THILE the world has marvelled at
w the aid given Great Britain in
the war by her colonies, little at
tention has been paid to what aid Ameri-
can colonial possessions might give the
United States. Nevertheless, the men
whom Funston fought nearly two decades
ago are rallying to the Star-Spangled
Banner. According to Matte Manard
Hensley, writing in "Collier's," the Philip
pine Islands offered this country $4,000
troops. the entire National Guard, early
n June. The writer thus goes on TO show
the significance of this offer:
ct means an offer of actual aid. In the
first place, the $50 officers Of this division
arc now receiving the same intensive train
ing as that given in the training camps in
the United States. They are under the direc-
ton Of regular army officers, who have been
chosen for known efficiency as instructors IN
the art of war.

Some idea Of what his son meant to
Harry Lauder may be obtained from a
perusal of the first couple of paragraphs
dealing directly with him:
"When the Germans killed my only son,
Captain John Lauder, on the 2Sth Of Decem-
ber, 1915, they killed every spark Of am
bition, every hope for the future that was
burning within my breast. II was FOR my
boy, my son John, that had worked, travel
ling thousands and thousands OF miles
around the world, playing almost con.inl-
ously, with very little rest between seasons
"My son John was more 70 me than any,

my wife, with jealous eye, tuck him into his
bed, and to get his goodnight kiss and feel
kis warm arms around my neck. That night
ly process OF putting John 20 bed was almost
a sacred event"
The blow was of the overwhelming sort.
Yet Harry Lauder, as the article shows,
is earnestly capitalizing his great grief
for the furtherance of the cause Of the
Allies and America He thus explains his
present plan of work:
az have come TO this country for two

christmas editorial filed = column. This
week The Tribune also printed a Christ
mas editorial, by Frank II. Smcnds, and
besides there were editorials or pneumonia
and the coal shortage, the German spirit,
reluctant America and the home rule adj
vances in the United States.
As illustrating differences in spirit and
method of editorial writing a, the two
dates in question, the opening paragraphs
of the Christmas articles are subjoined
here. Greeley used the caption Christ
mas" while the editorial Of last Tuesday
was entitled merry Christmas" Here
are the two extracts as mentioned.
From The Tribune Of December 25,
1862:
IAN atheist people can have no festivals.
No day Of the year can be consecrated By
them TO memories OF spiritual devotion or
affection. From nothing comes nothing AL
though the intensities Of Christmas observ-
ances Gre in proportion TO the vital Catnoli-
cism Of the country or epoch, and the preva-
lence accordingly OF gorgeous ceremonial
and artistic symbolism; still, cut up as We
are into sects. no longer acknowledging
spiritual infalibilty or ecclesiastic central
ization and unity, the idea Of Christmas is SO
gentle, so refined, 50 poetic, suggestive
Of the most hallowed ties which bind parent
TO child. and generationot 10 generation,
circling them in golden Inns Of love, that
neither religious dssidence, nor independ.
ence, has been able TO extirpate the essen
tial spirit Of the antique sanctities and obs
servances which originally gave it such
force"
From The Tribune Of December %,
1917:
"In recent days several OF our friends
have sent 20 us letters from thoir soldiers
in France. All OF them have the same im-
perious command. IL is the will OF those
who have left Us that our own Christmas
should be merry. Written in camps and
barracks, near the front and Ear away from
it, written in comfort and written amidst
privstions, every letter, written in the
knowledge of what is TO ceme, makes the
same demand of the parents, wives. brothers
and sisters Of those who are now somewhers
in France"
