TWO GREAT EVENTS.

There are two great outstanding
events in history without either of
which all the hopes and the aspira-
lions of men and women would be
hut as dreams and nothing upon which
to lay foundation. Both represent
gifts to men that are far-reaching
beyond even the conception of the
finite mind. At Christmas time we
celebrate the birth of the Goldman
who came that lost world might
be saved. He gave his life as sacri-
ice for fallen man. This season rep
resents the gift bearing time. But if
there had been no resurrection his
death and his birth would have
availed but little. But he was born,
he lived, he died, and he rose, and a
lost world is saved.
But the season that we are ap-
preaching now is typical of the
greatest gift to man and is celebrated
rs season of giving, if nothing else,
give good cheer and good wishes.
Somehow we like the idea of Santa
Claus and we are always glad for
the children to look for the old
gentleman to come with his rein
deers and his sled, and his grey beard
and to come down the chimney, and
10 expect that he will fill the little
stocking with all sorts of good things,
It impresses upon them the idea OF
the Invisible giver of all good and
perfect gifts whom they can not see
but in whom they can believe and in
whom we can all believe.
It is only about ten days now un-
til his annual visit will be due. Two
years ago the whole world was en-
gagged in the greatest war of all his
tory and last year we were just
emerging from that war and the
minds of the people were torn and
rent with sadness and sorrow, but this
year we are all enjoying degree of
prosperity and we should see to it
that Santa Claus does not fail to be
invited to come with his good cheer
and his gifts.
For the benefit of the little chill
dren we are going to quote what
Frank Stanton says to them about
this old fellow in the Atlanta Con-
5titution:
De LIP chillun.
He'll come through de snow, an he'll
come through de rain,-
Cheer up, li'l' chillun!
He'll come ter de hill, an he'll come
ter de .plain,-
Cheer up, li'p .ehillun!
Go long ter sleep
Whar de shadders-creep,
De good time O. Chris s'mas is a-comin, !!
Oh, he can't lose de way whar de
lip chillun stay
Cheer up, li'l' chillun!
You'll see him by the chimbly, in his
overcoat O. gray
Cheer up, lip chillun!
Go long ter sleep
Whar de shadders creep,
De good time o. Chris mas is a-comin, !!

Sea. The efficiency and persistency of
the German submarines caused Jellicoe
and his Captains many bad hours in the
beginning, when not only the base at
Scapa Flow had no submarine defences,
but all the other bases and river mouths
along the east coast OF England and
Scotland were in the 80 undefended
condition. We have heal, ,'ich Of the
bad weather encountered anu iured by
the Grand Fleet But until one reads
this narrative one has absolutely no idea
of how bad it actually was. 1t was not
an uncommon thing, when the feet went
TO sea from Scapa Flow out through the
Pentland Firth, to have ship in col
umn turned $50 degrees from her true
course by the tide; and Jellicoe tells of
ship going out through the Firth to the
westward in one storm and after running
into two huge seas returning without a
vestige of her bridge left. i;'

cisms Of 'Jcllicoe's handling Of thc Grand

plans after 1916 one might easily imagine
nobody in either fleet or Admiralty had
the slightest forethought. Here we learn
that the Zeebrugge operation was dis
cussed as early as 1914; that an attack in
force on Helgoland was studied by the
staff and put aside as impracticable in the
same year. The paravane, most success
ful of mine destroying devices, was
worked out early in the war at Scapa
F7ow, the experiments beginning with q
picket boat and running up to a battle
ship. BY 1917 the fitting of ships with
this device was universal" Admiral Jel
lieoe notes, although until after the armi-
stiee was signed the world was kept in
ignorance of this brilliant device, which in
its present perfected form is the design Of
heut. Dennis Burney Of The British navy.
How necessary it was To have mine pro-
lection of some kind may be shown by the
fact that at one time Jellicoe had an old
cruiser at the head of each of his columns
to meet floating mines and be blown up if
need be. Their crews alluded to them as
the "Mine Dumping Fleet"
Experiments In using airships for sub
marine finding work at sea were begun
early in the war, and after trials with the

Chapters ". 10 X. inclusive he saws in

information In this volume is of a tech
meal character, and though interesting TO
seamen, may prove less So TO the general
reader. Those who take this view may
decide that Chapters ". to Y. require
only to be glanced at" Now these chap
tiers are really running story of the
Grand Fleet from the day Jelliroe took
command in 1914 until he was relieved
ofithe command two years later. We can
readily imagine them very dull reading
to any one who has not genuine interest
in naval affairs and some knowledge of
them. BUY to all possessed Of such in
terest and knowledge these chapters are
crammed with interest and revelation.
The third part is devoted to the naval
situation in May, 1916, the battle of
