our OF MANY RACES
 RED CROSS MAKES ONE

~ NE of the greatest services which
 the Red Cross is performing in
 this war Is the unification of the many races of which America Is com posed through the Home Service. which, through It's 10000 committees. is looking after the welfare of the sol- diers' families In every corner of the country. America has always been called the Melting Pot, and truly, but the process has been slow. The war has accelerated 1t. The Indians of the west, the negroes of the south. the Ital- fans and Eastern Europeans of our in- dustrial centers. the Mexicans of the Southwest, Armenians and Swedes and Norwegians and Japanese and Iceland ers-all are now enlisted under one flag, and were whole heartedly in the war because 1t was America's war and they are Americans.
 That they feel this is patent to those who have seen and talked with these men. Witness the Italian. who in the assembly hall of one of our mobllIza- ton camps was waiting with a group of his fellows to take the oath of al- legiance. He stepped forward sudden ly with tears in his eyes and with a vivid gesture pressed corner of the, American flag that hung over the desk in front of him to his lips. A group of native born soldiers who had bee1l looking on with amused indifference, broke into applause and cheers From then on these Italians were their brother Ameifcans.
 Such work as thls is valuable not only for the morale of the men; 1t Is binding the nation into one organic whole as 1t has never. been bound be- fore. To give concrete expression to this unity the Red Cross plans through It's Christmas Roll Call. to be held the week beginning December 16, to in- crease its membership from 22.O00.- 900 to the limit of available member ship It wishes to give fn this way no- tice to the world that every American. irrespective of creed or birth. stands squarely and uncompromisIngl for the principles for which we have been fighting America is one and in- divisible pledged solidly for honor and mercy and good faith

HolbrOok Boy Coming
 Home From the War

Early this week relatives of Will Lee received a message that he is now enroute to the United States and may land in New York some day this week. In this event, he will probably reach Holbrook within two weeks.
 Young Lee enlisted in the navy shortly after the United entered the war; for the last eight months he has been sta toned with his ship in European waters, and it is safe to say that he will be glad to return to his native country.
 The young mans relatives, and his host of friends in Hol- brook will rejoice to welcome him home.

Christmas Has Come Again

The spirit of Christmas again pervades the land, and midst the joyful experiences of the day let us not forget the significance thereof. How many, we wonder, will in the midst of Christmas festivities, remember that the most momentous event in the worlds history is being celebra- ted.
 During the years of the worlds great war, many who were hitherto supremely selfish in the indulgence of the boun- tiful provisions of Providence and negligent of the teachings of Christ, have been brought in to closer communion with the Savior in the realization of his wonderful goodness, and it is but fitting that now, at the close of the great conflict that this neg ligence should be replaced by a keener realization.
 In the case of far too many of us Christmas has meant but the exchange of gifts between ourselves and our loved ones and a bountiful dinner, perhaps. without sufficient thought of the occasion. And as to the sub ject of giving presents, the practice is becoming all too prev alent of ill-judged and promis- cuous giving. Exemplifying the spirit of Good Will Toward Men," it is evident that to those of us who are fortunate we might best restrict our generous impulse somewhat toward those who are not in need, and mate rially assist those to whom na- ture or the world has been less generous. Christmas is the day of good deeds and little benefit is derived by the spirit of pro miscuous giving unless some real good is accomplished, and unless in the practice of this pleasant custom we accomplish some good in the exemplification of the kindness of Christ and realize in our hearts the signif- icance of the day.

Warships have to be cleaned on the outside. On one ship alone POO men worked all day scraping off 600 tons of animal and plant growth. This tre- mendous quantity of sea life had ac- cumulated in less than two years, dur ing which time the ship had travelled many thousand miles. The weight of the barnacles was so great that from 25 to 40 per cent more coal was con sumed in maintaining the normal speed of the boat.
