CLOSING OF FOURTH
YEAR OF WAR MARKS
PASSING OF CRISIS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Field Marshal
Haig, commandant in chief of the
British forces in France in his fourth
of August message on the occasion of
the anniversary of the entry of Great
Britain into the war said to his troops:
THE conclusion of the four years
marks the passing Of the period Of
crisis. The Russian revolution set
free large hostile forces which were
transferred to the western front; the
enemy intention being to use great
numbers and to gain decisive victory
before the arrival of American troops
could give superiority to the allies.
The enemy has failed. The steady
stream of Americans arriving in
France has restored the balance.

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

Two artists were asked to make O
copy 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 a
picture which glowed with warmth
and life. We are not, as Christians,
simply to copy Christ, but rather to
become possessed of his spirit and 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,

DAY OF DAYS FOR KIDDIES
Christmas Outranks All Other Holi-
days for the Happiness and Mer-
rymakng 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
selnshly 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
lOve-by 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
imaginatlons are developed, and they
become more capable of doing things
for themselves and taking care Of
themselves.
This Christmas would be q good time
to begin teaching children unscltish-
ness and the JOY of giving. Many

stained eyes. They are going to crave
the joys of Christmas day that may
not be theirs.
While our fathers, brothers and sons
are ut the front, risking health and
life for us, for our country, for good
in the world, let us not forget those
children who lack 4 fathers care and
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 distribut-
ing us well as providing.
Let us not forget the spirit for
which Christmas stands. 1t is to give
freely, to do service to mankind. Let
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 child
happy on Christmas morning will have
done a service In his name.

MAVI BEST PLACE FOR HIM
Reason Why That Department of the
Service Would Be Most ApproprI-
ate for the Town DrunIe.

The town was not exceptional. It
had weekly newspaper which had an
editor who ran 1t seemingly on natural
gas, ana 1T had town teller Of fish
stories, and it had town pump. But
this town wouldn't be complete with
out town drunkard, and this town,
somewhere in America, of course had
him. The drunkard, rs is usually the
case, was the subject for much earn
est conversation among the children,
and home-loving elders would hold
him up as horrible example to their
worldly ignorant heirs. This drunk
ard was not unusual, either. He had
his spreeS, and his alternating moods
when he would chit the sawdust trail"
The war came on. and it shared with
the drunkard as topic Of equal i'm
pOrtance for the town. Many OF the
boys enlisted. Some Of them went
into the infantry; others into other
branches Of the service.
One evening the bankers little son
came In earlier than usual from his

Industrial Exemption.

Conscription boards have their troy
bles, and occasionally tragedy, but
once in a while they have a little Joke,
too. The local draft board at Scots
burg thinks 1t has good one" on the
third district appeal board.
Recently the ScOttsburg board sent
up papers Of man who sought eX-
emption because of marriage since Au-
gust 5, 1913. In due time the papers
were returned by the appeal board with
the ruling "deferred classification re-
fused. Place can be filled by another"

RED CROSS SANTA TO

Soldiers in France.

lighting man to receive two socks filed
to the brim with fruits, nuts, candy
and smokes!
These are the most Interesting fen
lures of a tentative Christmas celebra-

pitals arranged by the American Red
Cross In France in cooperation with
the commanding officers Of our flghtins
forces In that country. Details Of the
plan to make Christmas as merry az
possible for the soldiers in these insti-
tutions have just been received at Red
Cross headquarters. Nurses and enlist
ed men on duty at these places will
also share in the distribution Of Christ
mas cheer. Because Of the limited
amount Of available shipping space
the Red Cross was compelled to aban-
don its original plan to send special
Christmas parcels from here to soldier
patients In France. All the articles
distributed will be obtained over there.
This Is to be an old fashioned cele-
bration in every sense Of the word
Every soldier will hang his socks on
the tree. The socks will sbe tied with
red ribbon and in additionlto the good
les mentioned above win contain n
handkerchief and card, on which
will be outlined the serviq es the Amer

our soldiers. Each soldier will re-
ceive sufficient number Of Christmas
postcards-now being designed by art
lists in the Red Cross service-to en-
nble i'm to write to members Of his
family and his friends back home.
The Christmas dinner, of course, will
be one of the features Of the celebra-
tion. After dinner there will be
