countries across the ocean.
Particularly have the habits of Eng
land and France held us; the former
because she is our mother country, the
latter because of the unquenchable
dear memory of Lafayette, and more
recently because of that same spirit so
gloriously Spheld today by Frances
noble sons. And this holiday time
finds rs with our eyes turned thither-
ward for more poignant reason-for
there aren't many homes who cannot
claim father, son or a brother lover
there"
And 1t Is well to know some of the
homely, sweet little superstitions
which prevail among the people of our
allies.
In England and in Scotland the say
ing goes that it is unlucky for anybody
but brunette to fiyst cross the thresh-
old on Christmas morning.
To bake bread on Christmas day is
praiseworthy, and loaves baked then
will never grow moldy. In these times
of scarcity of flour, the poor lOaves do
not stand half chance to mold
Woe to the housewife who on this
day turns mattress. 1t bodies Ill luck
for the whole year
superstition which had its origin
in Devonshlre tells us that 1t is bad
form and i'll luck indeed not TO wish
the bees good morning and the compli-
ments of the season. On Christmas eve
the hives are decorated with springs
of green and a bit of red ribbon. Ills
also said that bees sing all night on
Christmas eve. But bees are rather
perpetual singers, anyway.
The graceful traditions prevail, in
northern England and Wales, that the
birds and beasts have some mystic
connection with the Nativity. Hence,
the farmers and landowners purchase
sheaves of oats from little boys who
sell them as our boys sell holly. These
bundles are placed In convenient high
places In trees and fences, that the
birds may partake. The cattle, sheep,
goats, and even the pigs, are all given
double the amount of feelings on
Christmas morning.
In Lyons, France, at the Founding
hospital, a very pretty custom is to
welcome the first baby that arrives
with special honors-a heribboned
cradle. padded basket, soft clothing,
solicitude and a bestowa of gifts, ana
careful attention. This is done in eX-
plation of the poor welcome given to u
Wee Child of Bethlehem 20 centuries
ago. and a beautiful thought 1t is.
In some provinces in France 1t is
considered bad luck to cross strange
threshold on Christmas day.

CAMP MEADE, Nd. Nov. 1e.-
Forty-fve aliens who have been IN
the army for varying periods have
taken q firm stand against oe'nE
naturaIized and thus have waived All
citizen rights they might later seek:
The greater number are Germans and
Austrians who did not wish to nsnt
against those countries because they
had brothers or others OF near kin In
the fighting forces there.
All have shown a willingness to do
any other service and to fight any
where else. with few exceptions they
have made good records. Their stand
has not been condemned because II
was left to them as a matter OF
choice. Some intend to go back to
Germany or other countries whence
they came.
This little group Is all that Is left

men have been naturalized. Some OF
those naturalised include old regular
