 The men in the hospitals woke up Christmas morning to find that dur ing the night santa Claus had left a sock filled with goodies and best wishes from Home at every bedside. Christmas trees and evergreen dec orations in every ward added to the atmosphere Of good cheer. At Paris hcadouarters of the Red Cross there was Christmas welcome for every soldier who dropped in. A vaude- vile show in the afternoon was fol- lowed by dancing at night.

SURGICAL DRESSINGS
SUPPLY ADEQUATE

Reports from the Red Cross com mission for France have shown clearly that the supplies Of surgical dressings on hand were more than adequate to take care Of American needs. In order to make certain that other hospitals were equally we'll provided for National Head quarters asked Che commission to find out from the Service de sante' the status Of their supplies, and in reply received the following cable dated November 20:
 Service de Sante stated today at meeting that they knew Of no short age Of surgical dressings in French hospitals not fully met by Red Cross supply supplementing French. should any specific instances Of shortage in individual hospitals de- velop. will gladly supply from our surplus stock.

POOR OLD PAUL

 omo from Juneau Juggling a nail keg that contained a four-horse Union gasoline engine the other day. his friends wersruqturalU surprised. But when ho told his friends that he had the hull of q 22-foot boat cached away and that hd was going to ht that engine that was stlll reposIng In its nall keg 10 the hull. his friends naturally looked dubious and began to murnur "Poor old Paul"
 lt seems that this gas boat busl- nogs gets even the best Of them. Sols lay it to the long winters, othGfs to the "bone dry law" while others say it is just the natural cus- sedness of human nature that causes every one to fall for the pernicious habit Of wanting to waste their us2- ful lives cranking and swearing at a .balky gas engine.
 But anyhow Paul ls gone beyond redemption and his friends now mourn the loss of n good companion who will hereafter only associate with other gas boat owners and dis cuss such things as "make-and- broak." jump sparks" "magnetos," Host notion" "crnnk shafts" feed pipes" md other technicalitica dear to the heart Of the gas boat fiend. His word will DO lohger be any good to his fellow E2n, for every gas boat man will lie about the speed Of his boat. the cost of his engine or the number Of revolutions she turnn up.
 Paul already sits at the feet Of Walter Benson. skipper Of the "Pil- grim" absorbing the words Of wis dom on the gas boat question which come from his lips. Mir. Benson con ducts school for would-be gas boat men during the winter months while his boa; is not at the fishing banks and it is suspected that he is the one who has lurcd Paul on to his destruction.

NICKNAKIEs FOR
 FRENCH HEROES
French Soldiers Have Niclmames for All the Famous
 Generals

Nicnamcs in Che army arc mostly an indication of goodwill and re- gard. This Is especially tho case with Che French soldiers, who have sobriqucts for an Of their most pop .ular commanders. -----e-
 Thus Marshal Foch was, until he received his baton. known through out Che army as the General Deux- Sous. which may be translated as General Two Cents" or General Tuppence. This nickname followed ! him from his home near Morlaix, in Brittany. There he knows every soul in the countryside and is on thc most cordial and neighborly terms with every man. woman and child.
 Some guests from Paris venturcd Co express fear lest this hail fel- low we'll met manner with everyone. even Co the very tramps and boggars. might iujurc his career to which he replied that he "did not carc dcux-sous whether it did or not" This was overheard and he soon be- came known in an that part Of Brit tany as the General DeuX-Sous. and this. whom the Brctons of Nor laix were mobilizcd at the beginning of Che war. followed him on into the army.
 Today he is"Murcchal DcuX-Sous, " just in the same way as Marshal Jofrrc is "Granpapa" to every French soldier. from battle scared veteran to the youngest recruit, and as General Che Marquis de Castelnau is known as "Lc Bonhomme Noel, that is. Father Christmas" by req son Of Che whitcness Of his hair whltcned not only by the arduous and magnificent services since Che beginning of the war. but likewise by thc loss Of his four sons on the battlefield.
 The late General Gallieni, who died as governor Of Paris, and who helped to win the first battle of the Marnc by mobilizing every taxicab and automobile in the entire met ropolis. Co the number of several thousands. iu order Co hasten an the available endorsements in and around Paris to the front, used to be known as "Le Pere Ia Quille,' Father Nlnepins," by reason of his terribly thin and angular appear auce.
 Marshal Foch. by the by is a magnificent sporting shot, with an cy, SO sure and hand SO steady that he never misses a bird. 10 isI not Of him that Premier Clemenceau made the sarcastic remark, CT dol not know what he can do in the way of strategy. but have seen him en- nladc four beaters and send them on with some lead in their backs
 This general was Brugere, whose death the other day attracted SO uilc attention that it Is difficult to realize hat if the war had broken out few years earlier he would have found himself in supreme com mand of the French army.
