CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL.

Today formerally launches the Christmas Roll
Call of the American Red Cross, and for one
week the nation will combine the celebration OF
the Yuletide with the annual Red Cross drive
ga heart and dollar is the Red Cross slogan
for the drive which is designed not to raise a
great amount of money, but to enlist every man
and woman in the county in the Red Cross.
The Red Cross has always been dear to the
heart of Pensacola From the first it has held
place above any other of the patriotic organl-
cations for it's mission is not alone to alleviate
suffering in time of war but to aid and bless
in time Of peace as well.
The work of the woman's division, and the
military ard civilian relief are too well known
to need any word of commentator or recognl-
ton. The recognition viii be shown in the re-
s,,onse to the Chris. mas Roll Call this week.
General Pershing has commended the work
of The American Red Cross for the soldiers of
the American Expeditionary Force in the fol-
lowing statement issued from his headquarters
In France:
'eThe Anricsn Red Cross is the recognized
National organization for relief work with the
Army and Navy III time of 1t is through
this organization that the men and women of
America contribute their funds and their labor
for the relief anI conlfor. of the men in service.
To the millions of women whose hearts and
hands corsecrated to the service; to the
millions of the men, rich and poor alike through
out the country who have contributed and sac
rifced and even TO the millions of children of
our schools who are doing their part, it should
be made clear that the relief and comfort con-
tribuAe ed by them through the American Red
Cross to the men in service is essential. The
Commander in Chief desires to express, for the
entire American Expeditionary Forces, the deep
sense of appreciation Of the service being rem
stiered by the American Red Cross.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.

Pensacola is to have one big Christmas tree
this year to be known as the st. Nicholas Girls
Elks Christmas tree.
The tree will be held on Christmas morning
on the Elks' Plaza, the distribution to be IN
charge of the st. Nicholas Girls.
This will be the seventh Christmas that the
poor children have had a Christmas tree on
Christmas morning in Pensacola. For many
years the Elks have made the Christmas holl-
days time of giving, and many a poor family
in the city has been cheered through its bounty.
This year the ST. Nicholas Girls and the Elks
will combine with one great Christmas tree, at
which all the poor children OF. the city will be
remembered.
1t is what the first st. Nicholas Girl hoped
for and dreamed of,-one great tree for all the
children. 1t is the spirit that the Elks have
written into their constitution,-the spirit of
charity and brotherly love- 1t is the spirit on
which Christmas founded when the Christ
was born into the world.

BISITS OF ROYALTY.

& No development of the war has interested
Washington more in way than the announce
ment that the capital is likely to be visited with
in the next year by the President of France,
King George of England, King Albert of Bel
GUM, King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, and the
heads of any other nations President Wilson
may visit during his presnt sojourn abroad
Just when the capital will be called upon to
entertain these distinguished visitors is mat
ter of indefinite decision, but it is regarded as a
certainty that the visits will be made. From
time immemorial it has been the diplomatic GUS
tom for the head of one government who official
ly entertains the head of another government
to repay the visit. 1t is this custom that here
tofore has prevented the rulers of Europe from
visiting the United States. Until President Will
son saw fit to scrap the American tradition for
bidding the President from going overseas dur
ing his term of Office, foreign monarchs, respect
ing the unwritten law, refrained from paying
visits of state to the United States, taking the
view that such visits would embarrass the Pres
ident when he could not repay them.
No head of a foreign state has ever visited
this country with the exception of King Kalakua
of the Sandwich Islands and Emperor Dom Pedro
of Brazil. The visit of King Kalakua was of
semi-official nature, while that of the Brazilian
sovereign was entirely unofficial.
Although these two were the only reigning
sovereigns who ever crossed the American
threshold, one ex-sovereign and quite list of
prominent royalties have paid this country I'M
official visits from time to time Among these
are several who are now occupying thrones but
who at the time of their visit were only await
ing the call to rulership.
