Milford, Friday, December s5, 1915

THAT THE SPIRIT of Christ
mas might live through the year
has been recurring hope of men.
In times of extreme trial it may be
a hope satisfied to a degree not
before realized. Our year of war
has transformed the spirit of the
families of the nation. Our sons are
marching through the pages of to-
morrow's history books. In the
struggle for better world men
have now been drawn together by
their belief in the survival of the
ideals and mortal values for which
they fight.
This celebration of a season ira
ditionally happy should convey all
that we now strive for. Such
Christmas will give deeper mean
ing to the promise of Scripture:
"On earth peace, good will toward
men," That is the ultimate goal of
millions, and for it men and wo-
men stake life itself. Not faith
less, nor in gloom, do they go out
to war, but fired with the hope
that they will bring back peace
for themselves and their children.
The outward signs of Yuletide-
the bells, the carols, the cradle of
Bethlehem-have rarely before
symbolized so much that is dear to
humanity. Like the blue star on
the pennant in the window, these
Christmas symbols express more
than their forms reveal. Whatever
of Christmas joy there can be in
hearts should spring from our
knowing that the masses of man
kind passionately desire a life with
out fear, and by their union in sac
riiice will achieve it.
What could better strengthen the
spirit of those who are absent than
some assurance that this Christmas
will be celebrated here loyalty, and
full of confidence in their crusade?
They deserve nothing less. What
they receive from home in tokens of
friendship and love, remembrance,
or family devotion, will bring to
them far more than the material
comforts provided. Friends and
neighbors share a common SYM
pathy born of the response of their !
men to the call of the flag. Families
are learning anew that their MEM
bers, though parted by space, are
yet closer in spirit than ever before. |
For all who come home, and for
others preparing to leave, this will
be among the memorable Christmas
Days of their lives. They are, for
a time, citizens of the world, and |
in the sorrow of their separation
they have profounder understand |
ing of what their home means, and |
why it must be defended, abroad or
here, as the fortunes of war die
tate. That is the common cause. of
those who toll on land or sea, and |
those who bear arms. Their final
triumph will be proclaimed in such
words as the angel uttered above
that first Christmas dawn: Behold.
l bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all people"

A WEEK OF THE WAR

The program for utilizing col
leges and university facilities to
give specialized training to young
men in the armed services was an
nounced jointly by Secretaries
Stimson and Knox. Mr.. Stimson
said the program would go far to-
ward temporarily destroying liberal
education in America so far as the
able-bodied men of college age are
concerned, but would not have a
permanently bad effect. Mr.. Knox
thought it an attempt to preserve
liberal education during the war,
as preference would be given to
smaller so-richly-endowed col
leges whose existence might be
threatened by the war. Meanwhile,
a new bulletin has been sent to To-
cal Selective Service Boards grant
ing temporary deferment for col
lege and university students and
instructors in certain medical, en-
gineering and other technical fields,
all university men have been ad-
vised to remain in school until call
ed for military service, and the IS
and 19-year-olds have been told not
to hesitate to enroll to begin their
college training.
The rules and regulations under
which schools will be selected for
the program will be prescribed by
VINO Chairman McNutt, after con-
sultation with Secretaries Stimson
and Knox, the actual selection to
be made by joint committee con-
sisting of representatives of the
armed services and the VINO. A

Production
A production report released, by
WPB states that 194S production
for war alone will have to equal
the value of all the goods and
services produced by the nation in
its years of greatest prosperity.
Although the U. S. is making as
many combat weapons today as the
entire Axis, in 1943 it will have to
do a "hetter than $9O,OOO,OOO,O0O

Under Secretary of War Patter-
son gave the following figures for
1912 production of war weapons:
more than $4,000 tanks, more than
5000 Comm. anti-aircraft guns,
more than 5000 4O-mm. anti-air-
craft guns, more than 100000 so

War Strategy
Admiral Darlan's declaration of
intention in regard to French North
Africa has been issued by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The text reads in
part: "In leading North and West
Africa against Germany and Italy
and into the ranks of the United
Nations, / seek no assistance or
support for any personal ambitions.
=. My sole purpose is to save
French Africa, help free France
and then retire to private life with
a hope that the future leaders of
France may be selected by the
French people themselves and by
no one else.' Admiral Darlan
pledged cooperation to the cause of
the United Nations, and said he had
taken steps granting am
nesty to Allied sympathizers, re-
storing to rank French o. GERS, re-
leasing United Nations prisoners,
and stopping persecution of Jews.
Also, he said. he had placed armed

Patterson at $4,000, 900, 900, as
against $5.OOO,OOO,OOO in 1s41 and

the Army this year will amount to

of U. S. and Allied stated require
ments.
Agriculture
January ~, 194S. by Presidential
Proclamation, will be Farm Mobili-
zation Day. The President asked
farmers to meet ON that day with
Department of Agriculture repre-
sentatives, State o. .cials, farm or
ganizations and others concerned,
to discuss ways and means of in
suring maximum 194S production
of vital foods on every farm in the
country.
Final reports ON 1912 agricultural
production set the total corn crop
at S,175,154.OOO bushels and the
total wheat crop at 9S1, 1870 bu-
shells, with total production of all
crops IA per cent higher than in

Virginian Is Urged
For One Of Judgeship!
In Court Merger
State Democratic Group
Asks Representation
On District Tribunal

The Democratic State Central
Committee of Virginia has its bid in
for appointment of at least one"
Virginian to the two judgeship va
cancies that may be filled by nom
residents in the consolidated police
and municipal tribunals of Wash
ington.
Horace H. Edwards, chairman of
the Virginia Democratic State Gen.
trail Committee. addressed letter to
Attorney General Biddle urging that
a Virginian be named.
In view of the fact that such a
large number of Virginians either
work in or frequent Washington
daily, it seems that at least one of
these nonresident judges should be
from Virginia" Mr.. Edwards wrote.
Il believe that the record will show
that majority of the non-residents
who litigate in the court in question
are residents of Virginia.
Il can readily understand that
Maryland may have a claim on this
same basis for representation from
the court. but. however this may be,
I do hope that in making your rec
concentrations for appointments you
will include at least one Virginian" Z"
The law creating the new court
requires that the nonresident
judges have been practicing at least
five years in the District.
There has been no indication
when any of the appointments
would be made. President Roosevelt
signed the bill providing for the
merger several weeks ago.
