seemed to affect my morale.
Together we made the best of
the lack of wrapping paper and
helped each other to drag home
our precious purchases, in over
crowded tram cars and buses.
THE RICH AND THE POOR
I have lived their life, I have
talked to hundreds of them, to
wealthy women as well as to
peasant girls. e h ers, clerks,
shop assistants, nurses and mill
workers..

food supplies for France

friends who saw me off at Mont
pellier.
Tell them that we are inn
mensely grateful every time we
hear or read about American
thOughtfulness and kindness.
But tell them also that we know
we must do without everything
which is in any way likely to
prove a help, however small, to
Germany. II by some ingenious

u. s. OFFERS GRAIN

In this connection, my informant
told me. the AXIS powers already
have tried to bait Franco into the
Axis with an offer Of $4,000 tons
of wheat to be delivered to Spain
free of charge.
To keep Spain out of the Axis.
the United States had offered IN
return for Spanish neutrality in
the war TO ship wheat TO Spain
on merely a "gentleman'S agree
ment fer payment at some future
date and a guarantee that none
of the wheat would be re-eNported
to ANS powers.

SHE LOVES HER HOME

No woman in the world cares
more for her home and children:
no woman in the world is more apt
to run her husbands business if
necessary; no woman in the world
is more ready TO rise to the occa-
sion and to step into the breach.
and-Which is even more remark
able-to step away from the lime
light when circumstances no longer
Justify her being in the foreground.
In September, last year. the
women of France were called
upon to take the place of French
manhood in almost every aspect
of national life. They came for
ward. all of thenr and like their
mothers in 1914. they did their
duty. When it gradually became
clear that France was falling out
of battle. their lips frightened.
They could not. they would not
believe 1t. They felt sweeping
sense of shame. AS far as they
could they avoided criticism and
md their disappointment.
Yet many a time l have heard
old black-gowned women mutter::
What has happened to our
men? Why did they not fight:
What Is the good OF an Armis-
tiee when one Is the loser:
Even unprepared, we should
have held on :"
And ! have witnessed many
young ones who. although relieved
at the thought that their beloved

LONG BEACH, Cal, Dec. 26.- Striking once again almost to the western shore line of the United States, a submarine of the enemy torpedoed an American freighter last Wednesday, causing one death. There were reports that two other attacks were also made.
 A submarine sent a torpedo wild in the first attack but the second shot cut a hole 20 feet wide in the 5,600-ton lumber freighter Absar- oka
 Joseph Ryan. 63, of San Fran cisco, was crushed to death by fall of lumber.
 Hundreds of persons on the shore, also small fishing boats, saw the sub submerge as American planes roared to the scene. Great spurts were seen, indicating depth bombs were sent down by the planes.
 Tugs brought the Absaroka into port. The craft listed badly. Port authorities said she would have sunk except for the load of lum- Der which kept the stricken vessel afloat

Threaten Trouble
For Hockey Lions
Wei|ond Brings Boston
Reserve TuIent for
Game Here Tonight

Cooney Weiland, former member
of the Boston Bruins dynamite
trio with Dit Clapper and Dutch
Gamer and last year coach of that
team, brings his Hershey Bears to
Washington for the first time to
meet the Washington Lions in to-
nights hockey game at Uline Arena.
AS coach of the Bears, Weiland ad-
mits he is training material for the
Bruins, and the Hershey club is
studded with reserve talent for
Boston, all of which may mean
trouble for the Lions.
Weiland and Ching Johnson.
coach of the Eagles, have met many
times before, but it was on the ice
when Ching played for the New
York Rangers and Weiland for the
Bruins. The Bears reputedly are
the ones to beat in this years
American League hockey race.
Coach Johnson plans to use his
newest addition, young Stan Rookie,
at wing position during the game.
Rookie reported Friday and was
sent on to join the team in Pitts
burgh He is a fast skater and has
a tricky shot which earned a high
scoring position with the Ottawa
Juniors last year.
Bibeault WI start at goal, Shields
and Singbush at defense, Mantha
and Trudel at wing and Drouin at
center. Boston will start Damore at
goal, Shewchuk and Luzon at de-
fense. Kirk and Machie at wing and
Kilrea at center. The game will
start at $50.

in cooperation with the Recreation
Civilian Defense Council of the Dis
trict, is giving a party for 1900
service men, who will be admitted
free to tonight's game.

Veteran Fur Facing
Puncheri in Harkins
Here Tomorrow
Fitness for l0-Rounder
Uncertoin, but Phil
Still Fights SmortIy

The old, familiar battle cry, "And
in this cornah-Phil Furr." will
echo through the rafters at Turner's
Arena tomorrow night and into the
spotlight will prance the ancient
war horse for another bow and an
other bout, this time with Wickey
Harkins of Philadelphia.
It's a 1O-round duel FUR is letting
himself in for and the wonder of
1t is that he can stand up that long,
much less cope with character OF
Harkins' ability. Phil is no school,
boy and time has taken the newt
able toll of his speed, reflexes and
punching power. But he's still the
same unpredictable Furr that stepped
into the old Riding and Hunt Club
ring 8 years ago for his local debut
and no one can foretell & exactly
what will happen.
No Line on Furr's Condition.
Furr is at the age when most fight
ers look around for soft-bottomed
chair. night watchman's Job
and thumb reminiscently through
Vrinkled newspaper clippings and
old scrapbooks. They are at peace
with the world, their turbulent ca
reers behind. but not Philbert. The
fire horse in him stirs him to ac-
ton and if there is anything ne
eniovs more than a good braWl 1t
is being paid for participating IN
one.
How is the old gentleman's con-
dition? Your guess is as good as
anybody's. He'd better be sharp
and ready. for Wickey has youth
on his side and punch that can
knock the barn door off its hinges.
But Furr's condition will be pretty
much of a secret until along about
the fifth round. for he has way OF
covering up when he isn't just right
and it doesn't come out until he
starts to blow. He's done it more
than once and anoter similar epi-
side would be no surprise.
Harkins Is Puncher.
Harkins has been here before,
losing the nod TO Steve Mamakos
after flooring Steve with hard right
to the head in the first round. His
strong suit is punching and there
Is a possibility Furr will outsmart
him and cop the duke.
The six-round semifinal features

Freddy Fernando. and another six
