CHRISTMAS OF LONG AGO
Poignant Pangs Come Instead of
Peace, as Season Causes Thoughts
of the Past.

Christmas, singularly enough for
festival that is supposed to celebrate
Joy, is characterized by sadness. The
time of year, which is supposed to be
fraught with good cheer, is laden with
pain. Instead of peace, there are eX-
perienced poignant pangs.
Nor is it cynicism which says so;
the average man in the street will tell
you the same. Neither is grabbed age
sponsor for the crotchets of the time !;
unless, indeed grabbed age begins in
this hurried era when man passes
his ajority. Nor is the tragic contrast
between the cloud which now for the
fifth Christmas darkens Europe and
the world, and the bright star of Beth
lehem the reason for the somber tone
that sounds beneath the gay notes of
the season, as the deep diapason OF the
organ rolls beneath the ripping mel
ody. No; it is none of these things
which imparts to Christmas the SOM
berness which is apparent to every
body who has passed into years of ma
turity.
It's memory that does 1t. Memory
plays tricks with us on these days.
Perhaps more than on any other holi-
day our minds revert to Christnasea
that used to be. We like to think about
1t; we like to read the Christmas
Carol, because it puts in everlasting
words the emotion of gladness which
used to dominate that day. No mat
ter how humble the home, memory
paints it in wonderful colors on this
one day, from the time we jumped
from the warm bed long before dawn
and scampered across the cold floor
to get the stocking which somehow
had been stuffed during the night, to
the end of the plethoric home festival,
when. candy-smeared and filled to the
point of repletion we were rescued
from the wreck of toys and packed
wearily off to sleep, more or less
troubled with painful suggestions of
turkey and mince pie.
There is only one thing that can
make Christmas real to grown-up,
and that is to do something for some
body who cannot pay it back. That
otherism is, we begin to suspect the
thing which dominated the Christmas
es that used to be and made tEem so
real that they remain warm in MEM
ory. Unless you would have memory
become a dry specter, you yourself
must make real for little children of
the now the pictures which memory
conjures up for you OF the Christmases
that used to be.-Saturday Globe.

will necessarily DO drawn. Ours is q
government by party. Senators and
representatives. are elected on party
platforms, and take up their duties as
partisans. But they never succeed for
long, and never deserve success at all,
unless their measures have far higher
object than the mere continuation Of
partisan power.
1t is to be presumed that the re-
publican leaders. in the time before
the new Congress organizes-whether
that time be four months or eleven
months-win take searching counsel to-
gether as to measures and a program,
and be prepared when the occasion for
action is presented to deal with a sit
uation of transcendent importance to
the whole country in tho broadest ma
tionai spirit.

The United War Work Fund.

Even with peace in sight there is
little likelihood Of an early return Of
the American forces from France. To
the end that they may be maintained
in efficiency and in comfort and in such
happiness as may be possible while,
with their most important work ac-
eomplished, they are awaiting trans
port home, it is necessary that all the
agencies that have been working stead
lastly to these ends during hostiities
should be continued in efficiency.
Next week the people Of this coun-
| try will be asked to contribute to a
joint fund of $l7o, SOC, 900 to maintain
the seven agencies. All the money
given will be pooled and divided be-
tween the organizations in proportion
to their needs, according to fixed
ratio. All beyond the minimum sum
asked will be similarly distributed. To
give to the whole fund is to give to
all, and to give to all is to give to each.
If one desires the subscription may be
placed directly to the credit Of any
specified organization.
Everybody knows Of the invaluable
work done by the Young Mems Chris
tan Association, the Young Women's
Christian Association, the Knights of
Columbus, the Jewish Welfare Board,
! the War Camp Community Service, the
American Library Association and the
Salvation Army. The men and women
who have gone into the field, at home
and abroad, to keep the soldiers in
good cheer and to furnish them with
comforts and food, to sustain them
spiritually and morally, have rendered
them and the country notable serv-
ice. They have risked their own lives
unhesitatingly. They have been un-
der FIRE. They have been exposed to
disease. They have never finched and
have contributed beyond computation
to the success Of our arms.
Now it is necessary that these works
should be sustained. The sum asked
is not large as war funds run in these
times. It is less than Sc per capita
for all the people Of the country.
Every person has a stake in this work,
for from almost every family has gone
forth some one to tho field, and the
service rendered by these seven or
CARNATIONS has been appreciated by
these people w''o have been held back
at home, to carry on behind the lines.
That they will now come forward with
their dollars and make up this fund
is to be regarded as assured.

Sedan, 1870-19lS.

French and American forces are now
at the gates of Sedan-Americans hav-
ing today actually entered the western
part of the city-and it may be
that the last stroke of the war will
be delivered there. Doubtless the
French are today hoping that before
an armistice is declared they may be
able to wrest Sedan from the Germans,
perhaps to inflict heavy defeat upon
the enemy at that point. For it was
at Sedan that France received her NOR
tai blow in 1870. Through the bad
generadship of Bazaine, Marshal Mac
Mahon was led into maneuvers that
brought him and Napoleon III into
Sedan in a situation Of peril of which
the Germans took immediate advan-
tage. The French were surrounded by
a force that outnumbered them almost
two to one, and ON the I'd Of Septepl-
Der Sedan was surrendered with 81 900
men, including the Emperor of France.
After that there was no chance for
France. and though the war was pro-
traeted until the following January the
end was assured from the day Sedan
capitulated.
Memories Of Sedan have stirred the
French to powerful efforts throughout
this war. Their wonderful work at
Verdun, when they stopped the Ger
man drive Of 1916. was unquestionably
inspired by desire to atone for the
blunders of 1870, blunders Of general
ship and|not of individuals.
1t was a matter Of pride to our peo-
pie that American forces should have
taken such an important part in the
drive down the Mouse valley toward
Sedan and in putting the German army
into hopeless position. After St.
Mihiel our troops were engaged in one
of the most difficult tasks of the war,
to break the German resistance north
of Ferdun. The enemy threw some of
his best divisions into that sector, upon
the holding of which depended the
safety of ali his armies IN France
For many days the Americans made
only creeping advance and suffered
heavily. But they finally broke the
''hinge" of the German lines, and It il
due TO their tenacity and skill in large
degree that the German position has

Il. Marshal Foch's Headquarters

Germany has sent the white dag over
, the Ines. The arnistice commissioners
sro-, Berlin have reached the allied
f-o2s and are now being escorted to
Gan Foch's headquarters. If these
Commissioners are vested with the power
to accept OF reject the allied terms of
arm1stlce without consultation with
Berlin tie decision may be reached and
made known within a few hours, pos
sibly before the end of this day. If
they have not that power, if they have
: to return to Berlin for consultation, the
decision may be delayed.
But whatever the decision. Germany
! is beaten Acceptance Of the arms
tice forms means a prompt cessation of
hostilities and prevention of further
destruction and loss Of life. Rejection
Of the terms means a few weeks or a
, few months more of fighting, with the
same end of allied victory inevitable.
Marshal Foch receives the German
armistice commissioners at his head
quarters, a place somewhat removed
from the actual front Few know where
it is located. It has been described
as more like the home of a student
than the headquarters of the com
nnanderm-chief of a vast army, and
there IN his study, far from the roar
of the field, this quiet Frenchman sits
today to receive the four Germans and
hand to them the document which re-
cites the terms, the only terms, upon
which tho enemy will be permitted to
cease fighting. It is moment of great
dramatic tersity. Not that the issue is
uncertain. The war has been virtually
won. But the presence OF those four
eicrman commissioners in Gen. Foch's

ing the end of the war that it should
he perpetuated for posterity.
From Berlin comes the text of an
official statement saying that the terms
Of the armistice had not arrived there,
adding:
Whatever it may be, the message is
awaited in Germany with a calmness
in conformity With our dignity. Sure
IS, there exists the right to ask how
the delaying tactics Of our adversaries
IAN be reconciled with the speeches of
he entente's leaders, who recently re-
iterated' that it would be crime to
pro1ong the bloodshed one hour longer
than was absolutely indisp. Asable."
It is true that the allies have not
rushed tho armistice terms. They
have taken time to consider them care
fully, to frame them explicitly, to safe
guard beyond any possibility against
Germany treachery. They had reason
to do so. The enemy has been faith
less to convention and to pledge from
the beginning Of the war. He began
the war with q rush in violation of
treaties. Now, even though delay
means further bloodshed, it is neees-
ssry to insure against betrayal.

The New Campsipn.

Begins now a new campaign-that
Of 1920. Make no mistake. Party
managers will lose no time. Politics
will not be adjourned for single day.
Under our form Of government, one
campaign treads upon another's heels,
50 fast they follow.
This is not to say, Of course, that
either the candidates or the issues for
the next quadrennial contest are now
in evidence. They are not. It would
be folly TO- try to pick them at this
time. A good deal Of water will pass
under the bridge in the coming two
years.
As to issues, reconstruction will in
troduce lot of them. Some will be
old Issues, changed in measure by the
war. Others will be entirely new, pro-
duced by the war. All will be impor-
tant, truly national in scope and char
acter. Indeed, neither Of the next
national platforms of the two old par
ties will contain single plank lack
ing in interest for the voters.
As to candidates, all is but specu-
lation at present. The republicans.
never lacking in sound timber, have a
good supply. They could go east, or
west, or halt in the middle country,
and find a man measuring up to the
requirements of the presidency, and
attractive in personal character. They
are as we'll off as two years ago, when
with q man chosen from an excellent
field they came within an eyelash Of
winning the race.
On the democratic side, Mr.. Wilson
remains, as he has for some time been,
the principal figure, if not master of
the situation. he has large powers
larger than those Of any of his prede-
cessors in the presidency. But he may
not care to use them for the purpose
of securing a third nomination. If
he should not, and takes himself out
Of the equation, leaving the question
of the candidate an open one for the
party to decide, very lively and
pretty tussle for the leadership will
take place. Like the republicans, the
democrats could 60 east, or west, or
halt in the middle country, and find
an able and attractive man to carry
their standard.
What the party managers will ad-
dress themselves to at once, and con-
tinue the lick right along, is keeping
track of voters, noting the effects Of
questions as they arise and are decided,
circulating party literature, and seeing
that explanations of all matters at all
obscure are promptly forthcoming. In
other words, organization work Of all
sorts will be carefully performed.
