Christmas Plans
Include Greetings
To Troops at Sec

Outside, maybe, of vociferous ap-
proval of the city's welcome to them
the very first question asked by
American soldiers coming into New
York 10 "Do we get home for Christ
mas?" And almost every timo there
is some one close by to tell them "No"
that medical inspection Will keep
them in camps for at least two weeks.
But there are more unluckv men than
those hero fighters and wounded men
who have reached here in the last week,
and who, in most cases. will spend
Christmas in camp. There are, those
who will be on transports on Christmas
Day. some just out of France and Eng
land, and others within few hours
journey of Manhattan's skyline. 1t re-
manned for tho War Camp Community
Service to think UP scheme ,hat will
cheer them, whether they p.o near
home or still within sight Of Brest or
Liverpool.
BY special arrangement with mill
tary and naval authorities, The War
Camp Community Service, through DIR,
George Z. Vincent, chairman Of the
service committee, has arranged to send
wireless greetings during the three
days before Christmas, and the seas
will vibrate with cheering words from
New York to the nations fighters on
both land and sea.
The greetings will read: New York
City welcomes homecoming officers and
lilen with a merry Christmas and o
Happy New Year. The Big Seven Or
CARNATIONS join in offering all possible
hospitality and assistance to make your
stay in New York pleasant Special
holiday plans made for you. See the
: posters and papers,"
The "Big Seven" mentioned are the
Y. Al. c. A., the Y ". c. A, the Knights
of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare
Board, the American Library Associa-
ton. the Salvation Army and the War
Camp Community Service, all of which
have made arrangements to give the
men coming home from France and
England the greatest Christmas of their
lives. To many of the returning men
1t will be their second successive
Christmas away from home, and every
! effort is being made to mako up for the
lack of home holiday.
The War Camp Community Service
will provide $4,000 dinners in New York
alone, to say nothing Of theatrical on
tertainments, Christmas tree parties
dances and other festivities.

following:
major casualties (including killed
IN action, died of wounds, died of dis
ease and died of other causes]-1.6 .6SO

"A large proportion Of the 64,S62
names listed as wounded are cases Of
slight wounds. and many patients have

Corps. These numbered 1902 men
killed in action and more than 1000
wounded"

CITY SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Organization of Local Union Inaugurated
at Meeting Last Night.

The first organized meeting of the
Wilmington Sunday School Union, was
held last evening in Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church, Ninth and West
streets. j. II. Burns, president of the
Delaware Sunday School Association,
under whose auspices the meeting was
held, presided. Delegates were pres
ent from IL churches.
Rev. William v Berg, pastor of the
Central Congregational Church, of Phila-
delphia, and a leader in progressive
Sunday school work In that city, spoke
on the benefits derived from unionlsm
among churches In detail nc outlined
many accomplishments that could be
brought about by having Sunday school
union In this city. He said it would
have material effect on the life OF the
community and would enable a com
pletc survey by churches of child con-
ditions with reference to the number
that arc in and out of Sunday schools
and the reasons.
Advocating the establishment Of n
teachers training school, where in
structors and officers of Sunday school
classes could be taught uniformly. L.
Davis Preston, general secretary OF
the association, declared that one of
the principal faults of Wilmington's
Sunday school system was the lrreg-
ular manner in which the children were
taught. With the establishment of the
school, he said this condition would
be eliminated.
The matter was referred TO the next
meeting, which will be held in the middle
of January, as was the question of having
n uniform hours for the holding of Sun
day school sessions throughout the city.
