Now a song Of joy to the SeFvice-boy
From our loyal, loving lips;
For four long years of darkeninS Years
Has Christmas been in eclipse
But now, at last. are the dark clouds past,
And the Old Song sings again,
And Peace Earth" has newer birth
And the brave Good will to mem!
Good will to friend, good viii to foe,S
And the goodness of will shall the German KNOW
For goodness is justice-to high and low.
In the long, long years he shall make amends
AS make them he shall and must,
He shall last as his only friends,
Who have forced him to be just
We have saved his soul from its worship OF Might
at the devils altar Of Shreckichkeit
We bear no malice to cot nor palace
Because we have won the fight,
And when we punish we are not Hunntsh,
But the measure OF Right IS right!
So hail to the boys who have brought the JOYS
OF the Old Song back again,
And Peace on Earth may renew its worth
And the brave Good will to men
Good will to the friends who win tho goal
Good will to the foe who shrives his soul,
and shall pay, in the flesh, as the seasons roll
And so we send our song adrift,
With our glad and grateful prayers.
Our hearts full, but we bring no gift
Which is worthy to match with theirs
What Gift could offer our Service-men
Who have brought back Christmas on Earth aealnZ

Following is the synopsis OF the
opera:
Henri, the Marquis OF Bonneville, who
has been since childhood, owing to civil
war, an exile, returns to his ancestral
home on the occasion of the great an
nual fair which is being celebrated in
the village that receives its name from
his chateau.
The curtain rises on an assemblage
Of village gossips, discussing scandal.
Serpolette, the mischief maker of the
village is the topic OF conversation.
She comes in just in time to turn the
tables on the Others, and changes their
taunts into expressions OF rage. Gas
pard, an old miser. wishes to marry
his niece, Germaine, to the principal
magistrate of the district, the Bailli.
This arrangement does not suit Ger
maine, nor a young fisherman named
Jean Grenicheux, who protends that he
has saved her life on certain occasion.
To escape from the power of old Gas
pard, Germaine takes advantage Of the
privileges of the fair, and becomes the
servant of the Marquis. Her example
is followed by Grenicheux and Serpo-
lette.
The second act is taken up with the
supernatural visitors who have made
the Castle of Cornville so long an OBJ
ject of dread. Henri determines to find
out the real character of these ghostly
appearances and discovers that it is all
the work of the old miser, who has
concealed his treasures in the chateau
The discovery drives Gaspard crazy,
especially when he has the bells of the
Chateau ringing for the first time since
the Old Marquis flight.
The third act represents the grand
fete given in honor of the return of
Henri to his ancestral home. Serpolette
arrives as Marchioness, and some
papers found in the chateau indicate
that she is the lost heiress. The miser.
however, RECEIVERS his reason and shows
that Germaine is the true Marchioness.
A love duel between her and Henri and
the reconciliation of all parties bring
the romantic story to a close.
The choruses We're beautiful and the
entire opera was costumed, staged and
directed in a most credtable manner,
the costumes having been particularly
handsome.
The high school orchestra was assist
ed by Mrs. Benn as accompanist, Miss
Virginia Walker. orchestra, and Mr.
Edward Lurton director.

do.
This is how it all came about:
There was an interesting article in
The Journal yesterday about Captain
Charles H. Thompson and the giant
fish which he caught off the Florida
Keys after a battle lasting two days
and night. The fact was mentioned
in the article that Captain Thompson
would tie his yacht up at Captain Ben
ME Edmundson's wharf and that the
giant deep-sea monster would be on
exhibition.
Soon after breakfast Captain Bennies
telephone began ringing and it kept on
ringing during the day. The folks who
caused the ringing wanted to know
about the big fish and whether or not
1T had arrived yet. The Journals tel
ephone was also worked overtime and
the same kind of questions were asked.
In addition to inquiries over the tel
ephone, Captain Bonnie said about a
hundred people visited his wharf look
ing for Captain Thompson and his yacht
and his giant fish and Captain Bennie
had to explain to each one that Captain
Thompson had been delayed in reach
ing Pensacola because Of bad weather.
Word was received from Panama
City, where Captain Thompson put in
for fuel, that a storm had kept him
in port but that he expected to get
away from there in time to reach here
late this afternoon.
1t is expected that Captain Bonnie
Edmundson will go down the bay in
one of his speed boats and welcome
the well known East Coast sportsman
and his monster fish to Pensacola and
lead the way to the wharf where Cap
tain Thompson's yacht will be tied up.
