ragged Major in Row.

A row in Rotterdam between a
German major and Dutch landlady
has caused some excitement. The ma.
jor rented high-class apartment
with two other officers, for a month
and, having found cheaper quarters,
decided to move out, which was
against the laws of Holland. There
ensued terrible scene, when the Of
fcer shoop his fist in the landlady's
face, shouting;
damn you! We will teach you
Dutch lesson on Aug. /. That's the
date, and you'd better keep it in
mind" ~
When the landlady's husband asked
for an explanation of the threat, hay-
ing found her in Mysteries, it was ex-
planned that Aug. l was the day that
Germany had decided on to take con-
troll Of Holland, and advised him to
treat Germa officers eourteonusly and

Hazebrouck and Ypres have not been
sought by Won Hindenburg as sim
ultaneous adventure since the present
series of combats began.
The German general staff doubtless
hopes to confuse the allies by this
new movement. Hindenburg may
suddenly abandon one of the OBJ
jectives and concentrate against the
other; or, if he finds the allies in
great force along the fronts he may
abandon both assaults, rather than
risk a disastrous check.
Of the two positions, Hazebrouck
is much more important, for military
purposes, than Ypres. If the allies
must choose as to where they shall
make the stronger stand they will un-
doubtedly select the Nieppe-Meteren
line east of Hazebrouck.
The only reason for choice would
be decision by Foch not to permit
his reverves to be used up at this
time, if Won Hindenburg is determin-
ed upon another orgy Of slaughter Of
German man power.
In that event, Ypres might be con-
sidered worth exchanging for new
hills Of German dead.

Fierce Bombardments Indicate
That Won Hindenburg Is Threaten
ing New Attacks at Once

(For the United Press by Mason.)
New York, May 5.-The two Ger
man bombardments reported this
morning by Field Marshal Haig indi-
cate that Won Hindenburg is threat
ening to renew attacks Simultaneous
" against Ypres and the important
railway center Of Hazebrouck, seven
teen miles southwest Of Ypres.
There is stretch Of four miles be-
tween the Nieppe-Meteren line in
front of Hazebrouck, and the Locre-
Ypres line where Haig locates two ar
tillery actions. In this gan ara the
principle hills still held by the British.
From their SUBMITS the nearest
fianks Of the German forces attacking
Hazebrouck and Ypres could be heav
lily shelled by artillery. The advan-
tage Of position, therefore, rests with
the allies.
Won Hindenburg's fast dwindling
reserves probably accounts for this
break in his attacking front, for to at
tempt to take the intervening hills by
direct assault would be too costly an
enterprise.

DAY OF DAYS FOR KlDDIES
Christmas Outranks All other Hoii-
days for the Happiness and Mer-
rymaking of the Youngsters.

Above all other holidays, Christmas
is children's day. If possible, they
should be made happy on that day.
But they should not be permitted to be
selfishly so.
In times past there has been tend
ency on the part of many of us TO give
too many gifts, and too expensive ones,
to our children. We have been waste
full We should not love our children
less-indeed we would show greater
lovely being careful what we give
them. Too many toys incline children
to be both wasteful and destructive.
When the youngsters are left To IN
vent some of their playthings, their
imaginations are developed, and they
become more capable of doing things
for themselves and taking care OF
themselves.
This Christmas would be good time
to begin teaching children unselnsh-
ness and the joy of giving. Many
poor mother is struggling TO provide
food and shelter for her children and
has nothing to give them from Santa
Claus. The children of such mothers
are gong TO nave Wlut, NlStluii bN"A
stained eyes. They are going to crave
the joys of a Christmas day that may
not be theirs.
While our fathers, brothers and sons
are mt the front, risking health ana
life for us, for our country, for good
in the world, let us not forget those
children who lack fathers care ana
protection. The good fellows are do
ing much. But they need our help
both in giving and in seeking out the
needy. They need our aid in distribute
ing as well as providing.
Let. us not forget the spirit for
which Christmas stands. 1t is 10 give
freely, to do service to malhnd. Le'
us give love. Let us give sympathetic
understanding. Let us give ourselves
He lives most who lives for others.
And he who shall have made chlld
happy on Christmas morning will have
done a service in his name.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-12-21
The Christmas Spirit

Christmas peace is Gods; and
he must give it himself, with his
own hand, or we shall never get
1t. Go then TO God himself.
Thou art his child, as Christmas
day declares; be not afraid to
go unto thy father. Pray to
him; tell him what thou want
est say, Father, am not mod
crate, reasonable, fOrbearing.

Alright, for | have not a peaceful
Christmas spirit in me; and l
know that | shall never get II
by thinking, and reading and un-
Outstanding; for 1t passes all
that, and lies far beyond IT, does
peace, in the very essence of
thine undivided, unmoved, abso-
Lutte, eternal Godhead, which no
change nor decay of this created
world, nor sin or folly of men or
devils, can ever alter, but
which abideth forever what it
is, in perfect rest, and perfect
power and perfect lOve.-Kings-
ley.

CHRISTMAS AND THE SPIRIT
Necessary to Manifest Unselfishness
and the Love Christ Brought
to the World.

Two artists were asked to make a
CODY of famous painting. The one
made mathematical calculations, and
produced technically correct copy.
The other studied the painting, entered
into the spirit of the artist, and pro-
duced not merely an imitation, but
picture which glowed with warmth
and life. We are not, as Christians,
simply to copy Christ, but rather to
become possessed of his spirit ana SO
reproduce his life in our lives. AT
this Christmas season let us aim TO
become possessed of the spirit OF
Christ, and so reproduce his life.
In Little Women" there is a story
told by Louisa Alcott out of the eS-
perience of her own early days. The
four children who are her heroines,
knowing of neighbor in need, go In
a little procession and carry her their
breakfast. Another incident may pc
recalled. 1t may not have been pre-
cisely Christmastide, but 1T was WIN
fer, and the weather was bitterly cola.
The stock of wood was low, and night
had fallen, when there came knock
at the door. A shivering child stood
there, saying that her mother had no
wood, that the baby was sick and the
father gone on a spree. She begged
for a little wood. 'Divide our stock
with her." said Mr.. Alcott, "and we
will trust in Providence. The weather
will moderate, or wood will come" No
wonder that the children trained in
the Alcott household grew up heed
less of privation and generous to those
whose need was great. This is the
true Christmas spirit. If our Christ
mastide is pervaded by real unselfish-
ness, we shall manifest to every one
the love that Christ brought to the
world.
