FIRST "PsACE" CHRISTMAS
World At Peace For First Christmas
Since 1953-soldiers and Sailors
Take Part.

Observation-Disclosures celebrated a
victory Christmas.
With the world at peace for the
first Christmas since 1918, because of
the victories of the military forces OF
the United States and the allies, the
American people appeared determined
to make the celebration memorable.
This determination seemed to have
been intensified by President Wilson's
Christmas message to the American
people, saying that throughout the
great nations with which we have
been associated in this war public
opinion strongly sustains all proposals
for just and lasting peace"
A return to the merry Christmas of
former years was apparent throughout
the nation. Business reviews showed
that, despite the uncertainties of re-
construction, the old spirit of giving,
accompanied by good will toward men,
had been revived.
In the celebration Of the victory
Christmas the soldiers and sailors who
made such a Christmas possible had a
large part. Though a large part OF
the military force of the nation re-
NAMED overseas, those who have re-
turned we're given welcome in every
community and had a large part in the
days celebration.
For the first time in the nations
history, Christmas was not observed
at the White House. President VIII
son, in France for the peace confer
ence, spent the day with the Ameri-
can troops at the front. Members Of
the cabinet and OF Congress spent the
day with their families.

The span OF the upper wing from tip
60 tip is lag feet; the depth Of the
