u. s. Troops in Africa
Face Holiday Without
Familiar DeIicacies
Christmas Packages
And Mail Also Are
Slow in Arriving
BY Russell LANDSTROM.

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Dec. l8 De-
laye6 For American troops on the
Tunisian fronts there is little to
distinguish Christmas from any
other December day to field
soldiers the familiar holiday deli
cacies are only tantaizing memo
ries.
You can't set up a Christmas tree
in fox hole or entwine holly around
the mouth of cave. North Africans
know about Christmas trees and
will sell them for around $3.50 apiece
But there are no decorations.
Most of the men in the field would
call it a good holiday if they could
get some mail from home and a
little less enemy activity.
The soldiers would appreciate
enormously change from the
canned hash. stew. beans and steak
and kidney pie which are standard
battle-zone rations, but there is
little chance for any widespread
variation from that diet.
Few Christmas Packages.
A few lucky groups may scare up
eggs, an occasional skinny chicken,
maybe even a turkey, but nobody is
getting in festive frame of mind
over the prospects.
Few Christmas packages and let
ters have been received from home
and there is not much outgoing
Christmas gift traffic to wives and
sWeethearts, mostly because, even
for the lucky men in the cities, there
is very little to buy.
Much of the mail which has been
received so far was written before
the operations in North Africa
started and the boys are hungry for
-late news from the home folks.
Chaplains with the troops will hold
Christmas services. protected, as far
as this is possible. from enemy air
raids. But neither this nor any,
thing else can dispel the homesick-
ness.
In cities such as Oran and Al
glerS, which are crowded with
American troops, Christmas will be
somewhat merrier, and in some of
the remoter districts, where Amer
lean soldiers are scarcer than Man.
haitian policemen. the pickings are
little more plentiful for holiday
delicacies.
Pie Is Rarity.
Pie Is a rarity here. Pumpkins
are grown, but nobody seems to
know what to do with them. Some
French families inviting Americans
and British soldiers as Christmas
guests plan to try making lemon
pies.
There is no plum pudding or fruit
cake or candy. Soldiers can have
oranges. tangerines. dates and per-
haps a handful of English walnuts
If they find the right places.
But the problem of sending any
thing back to the folks at home is
almost insuperable. Here is a typi-
cal shopping experience:
Two people calling at the best
stores In Algiers devoted the better
part of two afternoons to getting a
pair of house slippers which cost
nearly 81 and which would be worth
considerably less than half that al
most anywhere else. ..-,
Perfume is scarce: jewelry, ex-
cept the expensive sort. Is becoming
hard to get. and a good handker-
chief costs about a dollar-if you
can get it.
So Santa Claus. pushed around by
the Axis. seems likely to skip North
Africa this year.

Texas Handful Case
To Be Reviewed

The Supreme Court agreed today
to review a decision holding consti-
tutional a Dallas CTex) ordinance
prohibiting the distribution upon
the streets of handbills containing
advertising matter.
Validity of the ordinance was
challenged by Mrs. Ella Jamison,
member of "Jehovah's Witnesses" :"
on the ground that it abridged her
rights of freedom of speech, free
dom of the press and freedom to
worship God according to the die
tates of her conscience.
The Dallas County Criminal
Court sustained the ordinance and
imposed a IS fine and costs against
the woman.
A somewhat similar case from the
District of Columbia has been pend
ing before the court since the start
of the present term, but no an
nouncement has been forthcoming
as to whether it will be reviewed.
In this case two members of the
sect were fined under the District
licensing law for selling literature
at Fourteenth street and Park road.
Their conviction vas upheld in the
Court Of Appeals and they appealed
to the Supreme Court.

Green-clad Americans stood close

month and the. Victory Fund Drive
is expected to produce another
81 900 100000 by the end of De-
cember.
The campaign this month pro-
duced the greatest outpouring of
money for loans of any compar-
able period in American history
the Treasury said.
Secretary Morgenthau fixed the
December goal at $1,000 ,00O, ,000
This figure already has been ex-
ceeded by $1,229. .0O0, ,0Oo and Mr..
Morgenthau now has raised the
goal to $1,000, 200. 900.
Il am deeply gratified by the su-
perb public response to the A.
nancial needs of our country in
this war; Mr. Morgenthau said
yesterday 1T will reassure all SOL
diers who are fighting the good
fight"
Mr.. Morgenthau said his an
nouncement of the record borrow
ing was the sort of news the Axis
leaders dread to hear"
Less Inflationary.
The Treasury expressed gratif-
cation at the December results mot
only because of the amount in
volved, but also because of heavy
purchases of securities by other
than commercial banks, the sound
est and least inflationary method
of Treasury borrowing" Investors

estimated for this year by the Com
merce Department.
Much more than 100000 900
will be needed" Mr.. Morgenthau
said and urge every American
to dig deep into his pockets and
buy more of the securities that will
remain available until December %,
and the tax notes and savings bonds
that will continue to be on sale"
The extent of December borrow
ings was shown by comparison with
the largest loan previously floated-
the $6.964 ,581 100 fourth Liberty
loan, raised In three weeks of 1918.
High Interest Rates Hit.
simultaneously with the Treasury
announcement, the Federal Home
Loan Bank Administration issued
statement by Commissioner John
H. Fahey, criticizing the payment
of high interest rates by some saw
ings institutions.
The policy which has unhappily
been followed in the case of a
certain number of institutions OF
paying unduly high interest rates
to attract savings has always been
unsound and dangerous" Mr.. Fa-
hey said. 1T is particularly in
defenslble now and should not be
| tolerated" .e- -.r

Maryland noting that thu" nth
