AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP
IN FRANCE A BUSY PLACE
(By Associated Press. J

American Training Camp in
France. July 3O.-There is greater
activity in the training camp now
than at any time since the American
troops reached France. actual inten-
sive work having been begun. There
is no disposition on the part Of the
American commanders to belittle the
amount of work necessary to bring
their men up to the highest Europe
an standards, but the spirit with
which the troops have undertaken
the work has encouraged the highest
hopes of early efficiency.
Trenches are being dug in
the way of practice with an enthus.
iasm almost equal to that with which
soldiers dig themselves in under ac-
tual artillery fire. These trenches
were Of full depth and were dupli-
Gates of certain sections of the front
line, consisting of front or fire
trenches, support trenches, with in
tricate communication trenches con-
meeting them. The Americans were
digging today just as if they hoped
soon to be fighting.
Intensive Training
Recently the marines got under
way with their digging, and they
were wiring themselves in be-
hind great barriers of barbed metal
entanglements. for in every way pos
sible the intensive training is intend
ed to approximate operations under
actual war conditions. Both often
sive and defensive tactics will be en-
ployed. and some very lively sham
battles with Grenades. bayonets and
trench mortars will soon take place.
Already dummies have been con-
structed for bayonet practice, and
the men are being taught the six
most vital points for attacks.
The Americans are highly amused
at the stories of how the French
decorate and paint their dummies to
look like the German emperor, Won
Hindenburg and other enemy nota-
oles, and each company is searching
It's ranks for embryo artists in that
line.

We used to save our pennies and

And we punched them all together,

We always gave to mother.
We began to talk about it very early.
in December,
Twas a very serious matter to US

And we used to whisper nightly our
suggestions to each other, .
For BY nothing cheap and tawdry
could we show our love for
mother.
Hers must be a giit OF beauty, ut TO-
symbolic her ways;
Itmust represent thesweetnessand
the love that marked herdays.
Il must be the best our money, all
combined, had power to buy,
And be something that she lOngsd
iOr;nOthing else would satisfy.
Then it matterednOt the token, once
the purchase had been made.
II was smuggIed home and hidden
and with other treasures laid,
And we placed our present proudly
in her lap on Christmas day,
And we smOlhered her WITNESSES

It never comes to Christmas but !

And the only folks ] envy are the

Who still have thepreeiOus privilege
Of buying for their mothers.

called and with the tOngs removes
pieces from the pile. trying to avoid
the piece named Tip. Of which, howev.
er, he does not know the location. All
pieces removed belong TO him unless he
moves "tip," when all must be returned
to the pile and the turn passes to the
next player, who retlres to the Other
room while another "tip" is namede =

drawing several pieces, he wants to
avoid the possibility Of losing them

ReUiUing Old Time
VII G.Go....
4 uES OuSLOFIES

CPECIAL efforts are being made by
women in many communities to
spread a revival Of the old Gus
toms regarding Christmas. Some years
ago a Boston woman with a touch Of
antiquarian. spirit managed to stimu-
late Boston, to. revive a pretty Yule-
tide. custom by celebrating its coming
by singing. carols in the streets and by
the houses, through the
placing Of candles in the windows.
Other cities eniuiated Boston In this
matter. In Carlisle, Pa, community
Christmas tree was lighted in the pub
lie square, and its glowing Joy was
continued.all along the streets by Hight
sed candles placed In the. windows,
many Of which showed IN the middle
'-of the rooms so lighted up. displayed
to the passersby. in the night, prlvate
Christmas trees, the glitter and beauty
of which thus were shared with all.
An n-objection to this attempt at glad
.ness-at least so far as, concerns the
use Of eandles-fias been the risk Of
fire. But these days Of electricity or
even Of gas seem to minimize the idea
Of danger, and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to dO'away
with all risk In the carrying out Of
the friendly suggestion. It is advised
therefore that "the gladness and
brightness of the home on Christmas
eve be not kept behind closed blinds"
and to that end tits suggested that the
light from every window, whatever its
nature, be permitted to shine into the
streets until -midnlght. The idea Of
light Is associated with all that is good
In life, The glow Of the cracking Yulel
log betokened the hospitality ready to
greet the stranger at that time, but
there was more to it than that. Light
In days gone by was supposed to keep
of evll spirits.-SallIe Wistar In Phila-
