of the Russians friendliness.

The Russians who have shown little
resistance against the Germans are re-
warded with the kindest treatment. as
shown in the photograph. While Ger
man propagandists were singing the
song of peace throughout Russia the
Germans made certain of the peaceful
and friendly spirit of the more aggres-
sive Russians by tying them firmely
to posts and leaving them there for
quite a length of time.

Thoughts and Thinklets.

Our genial friend, Mr.. William II. Hill,
for quite while editor of the Morning
News and a newspaper man of ability
and long experience, has seen fit to issue
brochure entitled "Thinklets, which
he is sending around to his many friends.
And it is really worth reading
Starting with the old adage: "There
is no new thought merely old thought
worked ovcr"-Mr Hill has set forth
quite lot of thought, new and old, in
pungent paragraphs, which stir the mind,
incite comment, and also, in many in
stances, incline 10 retnspection. And
rctrospection is good thing for the avernge
human being Possibly VIC give too little
time TO IT.
Mr.. Hill has been prominent in the
newspaper life of Wilmington for--well,
personal regard restrains us for saying
how many years. And he has been
good influence in the newspaper field OF
our city. We congratulate him on his
"Tbnklcts," and so will many Others.
And all will join in wishing him the best
that may come TO those who deserve
good things.

THE LAUGHING CHRISTMAS DAYS.

The laughing Christmas days are back,
Love stands beneath the mistletoc,
And life, like Santa from his pack,
Filings out the joys we used to know.
The mother smiles the old-time smile
As home with shouts of gladncss rings,
And all the children for awhile
Are busy with their treasured things
The holly berries brightly glcam,
With Christmas bells the home is gay;
Wars heartacho, like frightful dream
Of restless sleep, has passed away.
The sun of freedom shines once more,
All lips may sip life's cup of Joy.
The years to come have much in store
For every little girl and boy.
The family gathers once again
Around a lighted Christmas tree,
The big boys from the fields Of pain
Come back unto the mothers knee.
Now from all hearts the burden lifts
And eyes are radiantly bright.
loves gentle hands are bearing gifts
And in the giving find delight.
Friends can be gentle friends once more
Children may gayly romp and shout
And strew their toys upon tho lloor;
For love has put despair TO rout.
The little sob that choked the voice
OF gladness when our skies were black,
Has vanished and al hearts rejoice;
The laughing Christmas days are back.

gentle heart to see him with his
crownless brow, but you should bid
your tears depart until YOU have
secured the cow. His hair is white,
his cheek is pale, he bears the marks
OF misery; but while you listen to
his tale, just chain your palace TO
