Classic Answer OF a NesU

NE of the finest things ever
D written about Christmas was
the editorial printed 20 years
ay ago by the New York Sun in
answer to the earnest appeal Of a little
New York girl to be told whether
Santa Claus really exists. Its author,
Frank p. Church, was an accomplished
journalist and wrote much on many
subjects, but his fame will rest chiefly
on this beautiful setting forth of an
eternal truth. With Dr. Clement Clarke
Moore's "a Visit From st. Nicholas"
1t is one Of the great classics OF the
Christmas season.
The answer to the eternal question
as printed in the Sun follows:

AIM OF WOMEN
Those Who Took Men S
Places Loatk to Give
Them Up.

Women who took mems Jobs dur
ing the war will fight to keep them
during peace times. 81
Frank p. Walsh, former Joint
chairman OF the War Labor Board,
will plead their cases before the
board next Wednesday. After the
hearing the board is planning TO
formulate definite policy toward
the question of women releasing
places in industry they have at
tained during the war.
The case before the board will re-
fer directly to Cleveland conductor
cites. but 1t is understood many
women labor organizations of the
country are backing the Cleveland
women.
The policy of the board SO far
of conductorettes and other women
who have taken mems places in in
dustries. This action was taken in
disputes at Cleveland and Detroit.
Figures compiled by Labor Depart
ment officials show that a very small
percentage of women who have taken
mems jobs have gone back to their
peace-time pursuits. The higher
wages attracted the women to the
mems Jobs during the war. and they
are loath to give them up. Efforts
to reduce the wages paid women for
mems work by some employers have
failed in hearings before the War La
Dor Board. In every case the board
has held that women must be paid
the same as men IL they are doing
mans work.

NEWS WRITER, AT POLPS
Author, Editor and Playwright Will Tell Ex

Philip Gibbs. whose dispatches
from the front have been more wide
ly read both in this country and
abroad than those of any other war
correspondent. Will speak on his four
years experience with the allied
armies in France and Belgium, Tues
day afternoon, March II, at the Poll
TheateT. Mr.. Gibbs was noted as an
author, editor and playwright before
he entered the war as a correspond
ent. He first came into prominence as
correspondent in 19tO-l2, during the
Turkish-Bulgarian war. which he
describes as "a medieval war fought
with modern weapons" He was at
one time managing editor of the Lon
don Daily Mail and also held edito-
rial positions on the staff of Cas-
sells publishing house and the Tillot-
son Literary Syndicate.
OF his experiences as a reporter on
the London Chronicle. he says: Il
interviewed distinguished murderers,
generals, explorers, preachers and
prophets. 1 reported strikes, ship
wrecks, colliery disasters and minor
revolutions at home and abroad.
1T was from Fleet street that 1 set

terson yesterday, but it's pretty
tough, I'll say, when your old part
ner is in Germany with the army of
occupation and you can't find a
piano player with whom to go back

Patterson is one of the leading
jazz" singers at Meigs, and before
the war was of the vaudeville team
of Phelan. Burke and Patterson,
playing the Keith theaters and other
houses of the two-a-day. But he's
downhearted even with his army

most freakish turn of fortunes wheel
Ferdinand the ConqueTor had TO
plead for mercy from those who had
been his allies and their common en-
emy returned in triumph to the city
which they had surrendered. Only
Fleet street can give a man such
an experience as this and although
since the war l have abandoned jour-
nalism for book writing. the thrill
of it and the spirit of it are still in
my blood and bones"
Mr.. Gibbs entered the great war as
soon as the call to arms was sound
respondent to reach the front and in
order to be allowed to remain he en-
listed as a stretcher bearer with a
Belgian ambulance corps. At the
signing of the armistice he marched
with the Army of Occupation into
Germany.
His latest books on theAwar. The
Soul of the War" From Bapaume
to Passchendaele," and THE Battle of
the Somme," have passed into sew
eral editions
Mr.. Gibbs believes that only by ce-
menting the friendship between
Great Britain and America can the
future peace of the world be assured
He will make a six weeks tour of
this country and upon his return to
England write his impressions. This
is his only appearance in Washing

accepted yesterday by Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts. The time and place
of the debate will be fixed when Sem
ator Lodge returns next week to Bos-

times on the subject. his principal ad-
dress having been given two days af-
ter the conference at the White House
at which the subject was discussed
with President Wilson. He was also

a letter sent by President Lowell in
which the suggestion was made that
the constitution as proposed should
receive the fullest public discussion
Senator Lodge was invited to debate
the question whether or not the sub
stance of the provisions of the cove
nant should be ratified by the United
States.
Senator Lodges letter read:
