OUR FIRST WAR CHRISTMAS.

Christmas bells ought to be peace
bells. Since that may not be, our
first war Christmas gives US the finest
chance to show at its best the true
Christmas spirit. Christmas and un-
selfshness are synonymous. Thought
fulness Of others comfort and happi-
ness is the seasons keynote. Every
person in uniform constitutes q sepa-
rate and distinct appeal to the great
American people for a mighty OUT
pouring Of Christmas cheer and gen.
erosity.
In 100000 American homes this win
be a different sort Of Christmas, be,
cause Of some loved one gone In the
service Of fag and humanity. But
Christmas invites US to think, not of
these firesides. but Of training camp
and ship, Of trench and hospital, and
the different sort of Christmas LOO, 900
young servants Of the nation will
there be having. To most of them
it will mean the first Christmas away
from home.
Christmas cheer they must have,
and in greatest abundance. Not one
must be overlooked. Family and
friends will send gifts and cheering
letters. The church, the fraternal So
ciety, the business house will remem.
Der those on their respective rolls of
honor, but every soldier. every sailor.
every nurse. should be remembered
also by the nation. By the gratsful
American public.

such little interest was taken in the

There were no price, changes Of i'm
portance except in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, which broke to a new record.
United States Steel touched its pre-
vious low record. Mercantile Marine
displayed strength. but owing to the
light volume Of trading no attention
was paid to II.
Peace talk prevailed IN the street
and traders were reminded of the
opinion expressed several months ago
by members Of a leading fnterna-
tional banking house that the war
would be over before January 1. The
peculiar feature of that opinion was
that It was expressed privately and
confidently by men who publicly de-
nounced anybody who presumed to
entertain such an opinion. The re-
suit Is that the stret persists in be-
heving that peace plans may have to
be considered as stock market factors
before long.
Traders were kept out Of the market
also by a report published early in
the day Of a marine disaster In the
war zone. Ina agination Of the street
got busy and there was great relief
when finally 1t was announced that
one torpedo boat destroyer had been
lost. Great as was the sentimental
Importance Of the loss. 1t had no right
to be considered as an important
stock market factor. Neither had
the announcement that 1000 coffins
had been sent to Halifax. These
things did hurt the market, though.
by causing great depression Of mind.
For that reason bankers dread the
first really important loss of Ameri-
can troops that they believe must be
reported sooner or later as a matter
OF course.
Railways were all heavy but not
active. The proposition being dis
cussed at Washington to lend the
railroads a billion dollars for 1918 is
regarded by Wal Street as bearish on

sons are who have charge of ex-
penditures. 1t would be physically
impossible for the railroads to ex-
pend anything like a billion dollars
