Dr. Lovejoy. "The American Red

With the blessed season of peace be-

December had been just like any
other cold winter day where food ana
clothing are scarce.

inhibited by the Germans: Merry
Christmas was a mockery; peace on
earth, good will to men,, an altruistic
dream. And good things to eat on
Christmas day belonged to an age be-
fore the invasion of the Hun.
But strange things had happened
during the year 1917. These things
made Christmas miracles possible and
the performances of Santa Claus look
easy. A far country had come into
the war, country which lay across
the ocean, where the boches could not
reach it. A sector called the Ameri-
can sector, only a few kilometers
away from Toul and Nancy. was un-
der the command Of this new army.
"The French women and children
looked on the newcomers with inter-
est. They learned that troops OF these
strange soldiers were seen on the
khaki uniforms like the English. The
poilus had received them like broth
ers. They had embraced them.
'The American Red Cross had come
before the Army. 1t had opened q
home and hospital at the Caserne du

they did not need to- wear gas masks
there. American inf1rmaries marked
with the big red cross had been
opened in the small towns near Toul
and Nancy. Many children went to
these infirmaries, whether they were
sick or not. They were pleasant
places to spend an afternoon, much
better than the abri.
"ITrom the military standpoint there
was no occasion for Christmas re-
joicng. Russia had gone to pieces
and Italy had suffered crushing de-
feat The United States was yet an
unknown quantity on the other side
Of the submarine. and there were
many disquieting rumors regarding a
rev supersubmarine, Morse buga-
boo, as dark, treacherouS and terrible
as the fathomless caves of the sea.
"But somehow Christmas was in the
air. Something was felt to be stir
ring. There were unusual signs and
hopeful indications in the land. Toys
had been seen at Place Stanislas, at
Nancy, and at the Caserne at Toul.
The children were all agog. 1t was
rumored that the American Red Cross
was planning Il Christmas with real
Christmas trees and stockings full of
things for the 25th day of December,
1917.

Around the CITY.

WO men stood on the pavement
at the foot Of the House office
steps. The only difference
noticeable between them was
that the one who was gray-haired
stood uncovered while the younger
mans outstretched arm on the step
railing showed that he was impa-
tient to be on his way.
There was nothing shabby about
the man who held his hat while he
talked. His tie was dignity expressed
in \ butterfly Of black silk. his COL
lar was as white as a laundry could
mako 1t aad his clothes were of
sort that nobody ever notices. which
means that they were all right-but:
In his eyes was the cowed express
sion that comes from being the un-
der dog in ltf'es tussle, and his voice
was a Quavef of emotion as he plead
ed for som1 favor wanted, or. maybe,
returned thanks for one already con-
ferred.
That's all-only: What possible cir
cumstance of class, social, political
or financial, could excuse man for
old enough to be his father. to stand
before him uncovered like. a vassal
before q king in town where there
are neither kings nor vassals?
Answer me that.

the Old Saint Upon
Suffering Children Be-
hind the Battle Front.
The First Good Ne,os
of the Holiday Season,
That Jerusalem, Was
IN the Hands of the
Allies.


Y June, 1917. two months after this
country entered the war. the
woman's committee of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense held
meeting Of representatives of every
national womans organization in this
country. 1t was a hostoric meeting.
although it went almost unheralded,
for the representatives of some seven
million American women who had pre-
pared themselves for war work came
from every corner of the country to
Washington to tell the woman's COM
mittee what they had planned to do
in the interest of the great cause. and
to help one another by mutual con-
ference and cooperation.
One Of the most impressive speakers
at that meeting was young woman
from Portland, Ore, DIR. Esther c.
Lovejoy, who came as the representa-
tive of the Medical Woman's National
Association with authority to go to
France jim the interest of the associa-
tion, to learn what that body OF woman
doctors might do to help the suffering
children. So moved was the meeting
by the words of this earnest young
woman that the delegates of the other
organizations present not only in
dorsed the mission of the Oregon
woman. but passed a resolution re-
questing the Red Cross to send DR..
Lovejoy in the broader capacity of
physician under its organization.
This Is how 1t came that DR.. Lovejoy

There's lot OF splendid trees out
at Arlington-magnificent trees that
would be worth thousands Of dollars
II sawed and split. The government
ought to make money on that timber
instead Of letting it go to waste. and
give the cemetery more room to
breathe in."
1t was perfectly sensible opinion
from the viewpoint OF the west, where
native chokes unless he owns q
saw mills are forever hungry for
planks: shingles and ties. He was
probably just as patriotic as the sem
timentallst who sees in each oak at
Arlington a sylvan sentinel guarding
