Observance

THERE is very little of the right
motive in commemorating the
birth of Jesus the Savior. The
spirit of the modern Christmas is to
have good old time, feasting and
business activity, with the Holy Child
Jesus figurehead.
Such is q very great offenSe to Al
Wighty God. An offering to God in
the spirit of righteousness, by humility,
worship, modification, in self denial
and good works, should be the first
duty in celebrating Christmas.
Really a number of hours similar to
Lent ought to be considered, after
which would come the feast and re-
jOicing.
Respectful thankfulness to the Lord
God of Hosts for his love and pity for
sinful race In his priceless gift Of a
Sav ior-such would be a fitting grace
before partaking of the good things
and many blessings that he has been
pleased to bestow on all people. What
would person think in giving a re-
ception and supper to have the guests
hasten to the dining hall and devour
the food without giving the honor and
respect due to the host first? Almighty
God Is treated in similar manner In
celebrating the modern Christmas. :

Thanksgiving Dinners
For Soldiers In Omaha

The cordial reception given The
Bees plan to obtain THANKSGIVING
day dinner invitations for the SOL
diers at the Omaha army posts as
sures success in advance.
Detailed arrangements will be
perfected and announced this
week. A blank will be formulated
and sent to you to be filled in and
returned to US as authority to in
vite for you a Thanksgiving day
guest for the time and place speci-
fed. The invitation will be ad-
dressed by The Bee to one of the
boys in khaki, with request to COM
municate his acceptance direct to
his host.
This will entail a great deal of
labor upon The Bee, which, how
ever, we will gladly do, confidently
believing we are doing good
work. Time is also necessary to
carry out the plan, because the
soldiers at Fort Omaha are con-
stantly coming and going and we
will have to make sure that the in
vitations are sent to those remain
ing for the festai holiday.
For the present all we ask is
that you take the subject under
consideration and be ready to re-
spond promptly when the invita-
ton blanks are distributed.

ti|Iery and 720 Machine
Guns Since Oct. 23.
(ByN Associated Press.)

Paris, Nov. 3.--The French are ad-
vancing between the Oise canal and
the region of Corbeny and have
reached the south bank Of the Ailette
river, the war Office announces.
The Germans have retreated to the
north bank Of the river. The bridges
across the Ailette were destroyed by
the Germans. Since October 23 the
French have captured Az guns and
720 machine guns.
The announcement follows:
an the course of the night our
troops continued to make progress
between the Oise canal and the region
of Corbery, and reached the south
bank Of the Ailette river over this en-
tire front. (Friday nights official
French communication, in which the
beginning of this movement evidently
was announced, has not been re-
ceived).
"The enemy has retired to the north
bank of the river, whose bridges and
foot bridges were cut.
Arlilefy HBntilR continues very
vigorously in the sector of Chavignon
and at certain points in the region Of
the plateaus.
"In the way OF material captured
since October q, we have actually
counted 200 heavy and field guns, 222
trench cannon and 720 machine guns.
"On the right bank of the Mouse
(Verdun 'front.', there were violent
artillery engagements in the region
of Chaume wood. An enemy attack
north of st. Mihiei was without re-
suit. The night was calm everywhere
else.
"In the period between October q
and 81, 23 German airplanes were
brought down. Of these q were de-
stroyed by our pilots after combat
and two by Our special cannon. Fur
thermore, 28 enemy machines were
damaged seriously and descended
within the German lines"
