A food map OF Europe today shows
not a single country In which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries Which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies 10 meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu-
nulated on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, at
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest Of Europe
because they stand In different rela-
tion from the other nations to the peo-
pie OF the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and Is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
Rfter-the-war needs, which, with those
Of Serbia, must be included in this
plan, are urgent In the extreme and
must have immediate relief,
The gratitude Of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for Us to continue our
;%H-S there. The moment the German

PASSING OF THE OLD

aid an unusually good business,
but the Christmas spirit was lack.
Iug, an it passed off like any or
binary Saturday when the negroes
come to town to trade and tht
merchants keep the stores open 6
little later than they do on Other
nights of the week.
There were no fire works, ne
public Christmas trees or Other
celebrations. Even the custom
sry Christmas greetings between
friends as they passed seems &c
bave become an obsolete custom
For the first time N twenty.
Eve years the Times failed to issue

minated cover, pictures of Santa

poems, and the seasons greetings

tomers--the Christmas sentiment
was absent. Yes, the old. fash.
ioned Christmas has lived its day
and Joined other dead customs.
and is now q tradition.
But to the thoughtful this
christmas bore a deeper ,slgnif'
cance than any other in our his
tory. 1t was Christmas when
Peace on. Earth'" had a fuller and
more comprehensive meaning.
We are told that the irst Christ
mas came after q period Of lobg
and bloody wars and it ushered in
IN era OF peace throughout the
known world. Not all the yexed
questions had been settled or the
wrongs righted. but for the time
peace reigned and it was then the
gentle Christ, child came into the
world for its redemption. Ever
since He was born Evil and Sci.
fshness have yainly tried to DE-
stroy the truths he established.
This last great war was in de.
Tense OF those Truths, and il
was the purpose OF the de-
tenders to establish them so firmly
that no nation, however evil OF
ambitious for power will dare to
attack them, and no longer will
the bloo d of martyrs have to be
shed that the teachings of the
prince of Peace may be pre-.
served.
This is what the first Christmas
really meant; this is why the heav.
emily hosts praised God and sang
Peace on Earth. 1t was moi
because peace had come for a little
white to Roman aud to jew. but
because something had come
which was bigger aud stronger
than any single nation, or all ma
tions combined. 1t has taken tht
world almost two thousand year.
to realize what the gift reall,

that peace is to be the firm aud on

Flying Over Paris While Crowds
Surge in Celebration

puiei VIRTUES his IaGnef the f0lloW-

read with great interest by bis
many Starkville friends
One who looked upon Paris the
day the armistice was signed. min.

spirit OF the glorious occasion aud
drank In the inspiration thar was
spread abroad by those enthusiastic
cries of ''Vive l'Amerique," "vive'

war-oppressed people suddenly
cast aside their mantle Of restraint,
as the the terrible load was lifted
from the minds. and enter r. throw
themselves with reserye-iuto the
full enjoyment and celebration of
their triumph.
l flew over Paris during the after
noon of the 11th aud looked down
at the crowds that were surging
in mad waves like huge storm
driven sea up and down the aye
uues and boulevards. But You do
DOT get the same impression from
above that the you get when you
mingle personally with the people.
That night l went into the city.
1t was the most unrestrainted cele-
bration have ever ever seen. Any
one could start a procession by sim
ply waving an allied flag and let
ting out a yell. Immediately a
hundred boys and girls and aliisd
soldiers would rally behind the flag
aud begin singing anu yelling and
dragging others along with them.
There wasno order in the process
sion. Every chs got out of the way
as it passed ifi order to escspe be-
ing dragged along with it. 1t was
not uncommon TO see two or three
PROFESSIONS i. in a single bloch.
Around the opera there was simply
a sea of humanity. In the Cafe de

| in Paris, svey food ban seemed to
have been lifted. Healths were
drunk and rousing speeches made
by the joyous. French who, by per-
mission and order Of the municipal
council, were enjoying themselv-
es without resraint,"
At the "Folies Bergere, the
theatre where the pest show is
running, the cast could hardly give

anthems of the various allied ma
