Regarding the woodchuck that Mr.

SOLDIERS PLAN FOR
FIGHT BACK HOME
Disturbed by Reports Of High Cost OF
Living-Y. M. c. A. Offers
Help.

Fluctuations Of the political baron.
eter "back home" are watched with
interest by the American troops in
France and Germany, according to re-
ports coming from Paris. From men
who have reached America they have
received reports concerning the cost
Of living which have caused wide un-
rest. This has sharpened the soldiers
determination to equip themselves
with increased efficiency for the re-
turn to Industrial life
To Offset the growing apprehension
the Y. NJ. c. A. has introduced new
business system in its program with
the army. Secretaries have been in
structed to take up with the men the
question Of work after the war.
Signs reading, "What are you going
to do when you get back homer" are
prominently displayed in the Red
Triangle huts in Germany. No matter
what profession or what special work
a soldier wishes to pursue he will be
able now to develop that bent by en-
rolling at the ~" hut. There he will
be placed In direct touch with the
people back home who need and can
use his services.
The 7. M. c. A. will give men every
opportunity to study books that con-
tain professional and technical infor-
nation SO when they do reach home
they will have obtained a rudimentary
knowledge at least Of the enterprise
on which they desire to embark. Com
ment made by the soldiers on c0ndi-
tions is indicative Of the fact that
they intend to take pronounced in
terest in the affairs Of the nation once
they are again on this side Of the At
lantic.

SWEET CHOCOLATE
CARRIED UNDER FIRE
Chocolate Furnished by Y. NJ. G. A:
Arrives Just When lt
Is Needed.

With the American Armies In
France.-Praising the men Of Com
pany D, One Hundred and Ninth Ma
chine Gun battalion, Twenty-eighth
division, Howard r. Keister, 7. NJ.
G. A. man Of Dunnellon, Fla, tells
how, when without food, they sent
the sweet chocolate which he secured
for them to an isolated platoon, which
was under severe fire, across the
Vesle river at Fismes.
It was during the heavy fighting
eastward from Chateau Thierry that
the men Of the One Hundred and
Ninth Machine Gun battalion got
ahead Of their supplies, and the sweet
chocolate which the Y. NJ. G. A. man.
aged to get to them was specially well
come.
The battalion reached the Vesle
river on its advance. There the Ger
man line held. Men were thrown
across the river by various units to
keep in contact with the enemy.
There was terrific fighting all along
the line. A platoon Of Company D
was hurried over to help in holding
the narrow strip that had been taken
at great cost by the American soldiers.
It was surrounded on three sides by
the boche, who tried every means in
his power to dislodge them-gas,
shells, machine-gun fire and snipers.
1t was difficult matter to get food
over to them, for men with supplies
had to cross the river, which was ex-
posed and under heavy fire.

"Worthington was unlike some
brothers, but he was like you In that
way Nick. He liked to play with his
sister. His sister liked, too, to play
with him. He never frightened her,
but he showed her how to do things,
and she was never afraid when she
was with him. In the. fall he took
her for rides in her express cart, and
he made high seat in the cart for
her when he took her for slower and
more stylish rides.
HE taught her to climb trees and
to swim and to do tricks on the trap

the SNOWFALL fights, back in the forts
which he and the other boys would

steadfastly observed the holidays as
in the home country, there was always
more of the Christmas spirit and album
dant cheer and merrymaklng than
elsewhere at this season. Here the
Yule log held its place and here We're
the games and the feasting that made
it indeed the merry season of. the year.
Later when New Amsterdam became,
New York and the English came in
to power the chara cter of the ChSist-
mas holiday was changed somewhat,
although the Dutch influence contin-
ued dominant for many years.
Throughout the colonies in the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries
toys were an almost unknown factor,
but wherever Christmas 'observa tions
were not frowned upon by religion.
feasting and good cheer were album
dant, and bond and free, rich and poor,
old and young, shared in the games,
abundant food and genial atmosphere.
In the eighteenth century toys began
to make their appearance in the col
onies. Some of them were brought
from over seas and had the enchant-
ing quality of novelty. Little girls
who had helped to mother their young
er brothers and sisters were delighted
with dolls that were all their own,
to fendle and coddle. A toy was q
thing to be cherished in those days.
Some of the gifts were of real in
trinsic value, for the shipping and
trading were growing to be important
factors in the colonies. and men
brought treasures Of all kinds from
the far East to the seaports, whence
they were distributed to other parts
Of the colonies. The war for indepen-
dence interrupted this and the chill
dren shared in the self-sacrifices and
deprivations that were undergone by
all the families living in the colonies
at that time. When soldiers were
starving at Valley Forge there was
little thought in their homes of Christ
mas merrymakings and little out of
which to provide it.
After the war there were still lean
years, but by the opening of the nine
teenth century peace and plenty
smiled upon the land and Santa Claus
found it safe to resume his visits and
make his distributions.
