can doughboy, from the time he enters
the rookie squad until, as finished
product of military training, he in
vades Hunland and captures the I'm
perial German Staff with method
typically Yankee for novelty and sur
prise.
His feet get him into countless trou-
bles under the unsympathetic eye Of
his drill sergeant, and even after his
advent into the front line trenches
he finds new complexities in the man

Following numerous experiences in his

add him, disguised as a tree stump. to
its collection, with disastrous results

torn French house. He makes his es-
cape by turning the tables on the Ger

day for himself and the girl by wear

There'n be a Red Cross stocking,
filled with holiday cheer, hanging over

soldier in France, when the whole
world celebrates the gladdest, merriest
Christmas in all history.
Plans announced by the Red Cross
show that the wounded Yanks will
have full share in the jubilee. These
men, lying i'll in the land they helped
20 save, will be cheered and entertain
ed by the Greatest Mother in the
World when the Christmas bells ring
out that peace has come at last.
Every nurse, patient and enlis. ed

remembered. In every ward Christ

throw its light about the room. The
socks that are to hang over the cots
will be Red Cross socks, filled with
fruit, candy, nuts, figs and pretty

There will be entertainments in
plenty for the boys. Famous singers
have volunteered their services. There
will be moving pictures, games and
appropriate songs.
The children of France will visit

their mite in appreciation of the Amer
can soldiers who did SO much to make
peace possible.

ENGLAND AND AMERICAS

You certainly have got to hand it
to those boys!" said man from Mich
igan the o.her day, as he saw quar-
tette of British sailors swing down
the avenue. II must own up that
used not to be very swee. on the Eng
lishmen, but you may count me as a
convert for the last four years"
How did you come to change your
mind?" asked the New Yorker who
was showing him about town.
1T was these sailor chaps that did
it for me-" was the reply. But be-
lieve that hardly a man or woman in
all of these crowds even today under
stands just how much we Americans
owe in this war to the British navy,
and the army as we'll. I saw that big
parade go down from Central Park
the other day when the last Liberty
loan drive was on, and found myself
wondering just what kind of parade
it would make if all of the Britons
who have been killed or disabled in
the last 81 months were to march
through the Avenue of the Allies.
"Why, do you know" he said,
warming up to the subject, Il am told
that if they could be assembled to
march down Fifth avenue in platoons
of 20 men in rank the pallid host OF
100000 killed and wounded men
could not pass from Central Park tc

AN USUAL STUNT

When the official box score" of
this war comes to be published, there
will be one German aviator credited
with a home run. At presen. the
name of the Boche who made the cir
cult o the bases is unknown, but
doubtless he will be on hand to claim
il after peace is declared, providing,
of course. he doesn't run afoul of some

Jerry came over" He dropped a
few tons of bombs by way of calling
cards and then wen. back to his own
lines. The military damage done was
small, but the diamond was found to
be total loss the next morning when
the Frenchmen went out to look things
over.
One bomb had fallen squarely on
home plate, making a hole Is feet
across and four or five feet deep. An
other had made pit trifie larger
at first, another had demolished sec
ond, and a fourth had obliterated third
making a new diamond marked out by
bomb craters. Not only was the field
ruined, but a quantity of athletic ma
terial stored on the grounds also was
destroyed. How the Boche bomber
ever located the four bases so exact
ly in the nigh. is mystery The only
explanation is that he cut loose a rack
full of aerial torpedoes at the same
time and the difference in air currents
encountered as they fell resulted in
their hitting marks at just the right
distance apart to mark cut the dia-
mond. In order to preserve his repu-
tation for veracity, Mr.. Thacker has
had the "home run" certified to by
several other Americans. He says
