Snow and Christmas winds seem to
be so closely mingled with Christmas
in the minds Of Engllsh-speaking peo-
pie that many Of us are scarcely aware
that new traditions Of Christmas cli-
mate are being built up In parts Of our
wide country, The poet Sill, with his
exquisite art, paints for us a picture Of
christmas in California;"
"Can this be Christmas-sweet es May,
With drowsy sun and dreamy air.
The new grass pointing out the way
For flowers to follow, everywheref
Has time grown sleepy at his posr,
And let the exiled summer back.
Or Is 1t her rogretful ghost
Or witchcraft Of the almanac?
I am his creature, and his air
breathe, where'er my feet may stand;
The angels song rings everywhere,
And all the earth Ii Holy Land"
Besides the religious spirit Of Chrtsl-
mas poetry, great deal Of verse has
been written in honor Of st. Nicholas,
Kris Krngle or Santa Claus, as he Is
called, and the children. Perhaps one
Of the best known Of these poems Is
"The Night Before Christmas by DR.,
Clement G. Moore, which begins:
Twas the night before Christmas wner
all through the house,
Not creature was stirring, not even q
mouse,
The stockings were hung by tho chimney
with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be
there;
The children were nestled all snug In
their beds,
While visions OF sugar plums danced In
their heads" etc.

r.&kH HE Festivals OF q country
xtS@ ~ seem to reflect the heart of
a people. Christmas among
Italian peasants has quite a
u different quality from the
~ Christmas Of the land Of the
former kaiser; so the songs
and carols which spring from these
festivals carry with them a distinct
flavor Of the different nationalitles
which inspire them. Even two coun-
tries so closely akin as England and
America infuse a certain national at
mosphere into the literature of Christ
MAS. In England one may trace the
Christmas carol from the quaintest Of
old folk songs
"As Joseph was a-waukin',
He heard an angel sing,
This night shall be the birth night
or Christ, our heavenly king -

Christmas Ideals In successive CEN

WHY GUY0N FIGHTS
This French Poi|u Is Regular
Fire. Eater.
Abused by Huns, Escapes to
Tell Story.

Paris.-Guyon's a regular flre-eatef.
He has been cited six times. He wears
croix de guerre and medaille d'hon-
neur. He captured a German mitrail-
leuse single-handed. He went out alone
In No Mans Land to bring back a
wounded comrade: Hes been wounded
himself four times.
When he is back Of the lines, or
duty, he helps a Y. M. @. A. secretary
hand out writing paper to his COM
rades in foyer du soldat. But it
isn't active enough for him. Since
August, 1914, he doesn't seem to need
to rest. When he isn't in the trenches
he work. off his surplus energy cuss-
ing out the way the war is run be-
minute.
There are lot Of poilus like Guyon.
Get them ten kilometers back of the
front and they growl and roar all day.
Put them in the trenches and you sim
ply can't hold them in.
Probably a story lies back of most
of them Just as one explains GuyOn.
When the war broke out GuyOn nau
just married. He and his wife were
living in little town up near the Bel
gian border. OF course he was called
and left for the front. For more than
a year he did not hear from his wife
not word. At last he received let
ter from her, mailed In Paris.
She had been taken prisoner at the
time of the invasion and deported In
to Germany. After year of horrible
suffering and abuse, she escaped into
Holland and got back to France by
way of London At last she reached
Paris and went to work In munitions
factory, where she is still working.
Guyon told his story to the Ameri-
can Y. M. G. A. secretary with typical
French calmness. His fury against the
Boches he puts into action In the
front line.

essary to furnish him with little ad-
Ntional blood to aid his own. Other
members Of the family have agreed to
furnish this IL it is needed. Mr.. Bever
has been suffering for years with

GIRLS DO GOOD WORK
American Telephone Operators
Now Serving in France.
Hundred Who Were Sent Over 0Iv.
lnQ Such Efficient Service More
Will Be Sent.

Washington.-To the 100 girls from
America now doing service as military
telephone operators in France, LOT
more in training schools here may soon
be added, leaving reserve force OF
400 more on file out Of about 5000 ap'
plications.
The telephone is referred to as the
NERVES of the army" and the young
women who have been accepted fol
this work have undergone tests as Sc
we're as those to which soldier at the
front Is subjected.
The telephone exchanges often are
only q short distance behind the
trenches, and the operator must pos
sess both courage and calmness under
dangerous circumstances.
'"These girls" said Capt. e. j, Wes-
son, who recruited the unit, are going
to astound the people over there by
their efficiency. In Paris 1t takes from
40 to go seconds to complete one call.
Our girls are equipped to handle 300
calls an hour"
Other reports that have reached the
war department from France show
that the American hello girl is making
good rapidly In task as difficult as is
to be found back Of the front line
trenches.
The first group Of operators entered
training school here on January IL
for instruction In advanced telephony.
They received practice In the largest
New York exchanges and were then
tried out at military environments. The
course included talks upon personal
hygiene.
The first contingent sailed on March
2. Other groups sailed In March and
April and were stationed at supply de-
pots and debarkation bases.
In addition to speaking both French
and English f1uently, every one Of
these girls has stood loyalty test
which proved that she could be trusted
with military information.
The uniform prescribed consists OF
a coat and skirt Of navy blue serge,
shirtwaist eof navy blue Palm Beach
cloth and straight-brimmed hat of blue
felt, while the regulation orange and
white cord on the left sleeve is used to
designate their rank, as operator, SUI
