Professor Heron. the Daily Mail

strengthen the American will to smash
the perfidious and nefarious offer of
such proposals..
THE United States intends to con-

military power and, if necessary, the
Prussian state along with it, are ex-
tinguished forever as a power for evil

Issue Is Closed.
BY ED l.. KEEN.

London, May 10.-With Premier
Lloyd Georges victory, the General
Maurice affair is seemingly closed, in
so-far as it affects the government,
adding another to the string of the
premier's political triumphs. The chief
feature outstanding is the evident ap-
pearance for the first time during the
war of organized opposition to the
government.
Some of the newspapers supporting
Lloyd George declare it marks the
turning point in the war relations of
the parties. They think an open po-
litical war has been declared and see
the whole affair as a political plot to
GUST the government. They regard the
vote on Herbert ASquith's motion for
the appointment of a parliamentary
committee to investigate the charges
against the premier and the chancellor
of the eXchequer as a rout for the for
mer premier. The same note ran thru
Lloyd Georges defense of himself and
his ministry.
Watched Americas Attitude.
The opposition press asserts that
Lloyd George evaded the issue, side
stepped the inquiry by withdrawal of
the offer of a judicial Investigating
board and won a parliamentary vic
tory by legerderhain on the flot of the
house.
The public is greatly interested in
Americas attitude regarding the Maui
rice affair. Long quotations from the
American press are published in the
London papers

Continued strength in the cash oats yester-

said that oats are being used freely In

A Rainy Christmas

Once there was a poor woman.
She had to sew to keep her child
rem, Polly and Ben, and herself
from starving.
Now II was the week before
Christmas. How could she make
a happy Christmas for her child
rem!
Last year they were dancing
around a beautiful tree. But only
month ago their father died with
the influenza.
"Come children" said Mrs. Pep
per, the little woman, "and take
over this sack to Mr.. Zebro."
So of went the children with the
sack.
10000 but it's cold" said Polly.
But she had a right to be cold.
She had only q straw hat on her
head, q small thin sweater and
WORKOUT red and white plaid ging-.
ham dress and she wore made over
and patched stockings and worn out
shoes on her feet.
II am cold too," said Ben. He
wasn't dressed warm either, Al
though he had on his best clothes.
He had on q red stocking cap with
a big red tassel on it, a small
patched blue coat. patched suit
aad his stockings were also made
over and patched.
Lets run 30 we won't get wet"
said Polly.
"AH right, then we will have
time to look In the windows on our
way home." said Ben.
To this Polly agreed.
So they ran on and on.
The rain had ceased when they
reached Mr.. Zebro's house.
There they got warm and after
a while went out again into tho
cold.
Now It vas mining hard but the
children didn't mind.
They wers going on q dog trot
to Mr.. Cullin's store window. In
the window they saw dolls. ships,
balls, horns, cannon, wagons, A. B.
C. blocks and l don't know what
else.
At home the mother of the child
rem was crying for Joy because her
brother that she thought dead had
returned from Italy and he had
come to have her come and live
with him for he had a great deal Of
money to keep them and they had
even . more beautiful Christmas
tree to dance around than the year
before. RACHEL JONES,

Junior Writes
Christmas Letter

Dear FI1euuS. WAS dSkcu lO
write letter on Christmastime. OF
course you all know it is very near
1t is very happy time for all the
children. We have all been prac-
ticing our Christmas hymns and re-
citing our declarations. Christmas
is time when everybody should
remember the birth of their dear
Saviour, and offer praises to Him.
Numerous congregations are very
kind to think Of us all, and send
us such useful gifts. Christmas
eve the council room will be dec
GRATED nicely with wreaths, bells
and holly. In the north end there
will be two large trees which will
also be trimmed nicely. After ev-
erybody has been seated and the
light of the tree lit, the children
will then give program. Then
several songs will be sung and
pieces detained and collection
taken up which will conclude the
program. The honsefather will
then call each child's name and
they all will take their places. They
each receive presents, such as
books, games, dishes, dolls, etc.
Many of the children are made glad
when their relatives come to visit
them and when they find what they
have in store for them. Many of
our friends from town come to hear
the program and look on with smil-
ing faces when the gifts are dis
tributed to each child. The little
folks are never forgotten az they
also have a little tree and table to
themselves. / am sure you would
all smile if you could only see their
eager little faces waiting patiently
for their turn to come. The older
boys and girls have a room in
which they receive their presents.
The housefather and mother also
have table which never lacks be-
ing filed The house mother is
very busy with the Christmas bak-
ing as l suppose everyone is at this
time.
The Spanish influenza hasn't
reached us yet, for which we can
all thank our heavenly Protector.
Some of the children are making
some little Christmas gifts which
will make some one happy. Many
of the former orphans visit us
which helps make the festival seem
more like Christmas. The children
certainly miss the snow. We re-
ceived a couple Of sleds from the.
housefather and we certainly did
appreciate them. We make good
use of them on the sleigh track"
When we come In our faces are all
aglow, our cheeks are like pink
apples, our eyes sparkle, and our
nose is like cherry. Well as I
haven't anything else to tell l will
close.

MIDNIGHT
LAUNCHING
in TACOMA

With Miss Lillian Clark, a ma
tive daughter of Tacoma, as her
sponsor, the Reims, built at the
Foundation shipyard for the
French government, was chris
tened and launched at the Hyle-
hos waterway shortly after mid
night.
Accompanied by the strains of
the Star Spansled Banner and of
the Marseilles, the huge hulk slid
into Puget Sound, while hats of
the bystanders waved in the air
and the owners cheered.
The Reims is the fifth five
masted schooner to be built by
the Foundation yards and the see
ond within a week. As soon as
the boat is entirely finished 1t
will be turned over to the French
government to assist in winning
the war for the allies.

several French officers, includ-
ing Capt. REQ of the French
