One of the finest letters written
by any soldier of this war was
penned by Donald Euverard, form
er music instructor of the Marys-
vile schools, last Christmas day.
Written to his family, the letter
describes the activities, setting
and thoughts of the soldiers in
Germany on Christmas day
So splendid was the letter that
Mr.. Euverard's sister had lie multi
graphed and sent a copy of it to
Cosmopolitan magazine. The edi-
tors of the magazine, in turn have
sent it to Yale University to be in
cluded in book of soldiers letters
to be published IN the near future.
Several of Mr.. Euverard's Marys-
vile friends have also received
copies of the letter, and The
Journal takes pleasure in reprint
ing it below:
Christmas Day
in Germany
Dear Folks:
I have thought of all of you
many times today. Here's hoping
your day was pleasant and rest
full. Perhaps your joy of Christmas
was much like mine, dreaming of
many happy Christmas mornings
when we were children. Dad and
Grandpa may have gone back far
ther to live again the days when
they were children. l envy Grand
pa his chance to watch several
generations of excited youngsters
celebrate Christ'S birth,
Today was like almost any
other day except little buster.
After an early breakfast l opened
a few small packages that had
saved and placed under my Christ
mas tree. So you see our tradition
was not broken even though L am
thousands of miles from home.
Before daylight l was on the
back of a truck going for rations.
Since we have been attached to
the QuartermaSter Company we
see a lot of the country as we go
about trying to keep the boys in
our division supplied with food,
clothing, gasoline and ammunition.
l doubt if any of you saw the
sunrise. Well, l did. 1t was beauti-
full! We didn't have a snow in this
part of the country but a heavy
frost covered everything with a
glistening whiteness. A pine cover
ed hill along the horizon was out
lined by the light of daybreak as
our trucks reached the ration de-
pot and we waited our turn to
load. l sat in the back of truck
dressed in my warmest clothes and
huddled under an extra blanket.
My outlook was the Eastern sky
where a new day was about to
dawn. 1t was fine chance to med
itate. Across my mind flashed
many scenes. One lone, bright
star helped me to visualize the
scene that may have been viewed
by the shepherds or the wisemen
of old. Then more modern pictures
came to me. Visions of my child
hood which lead to more recent
experiences. My thoughts and
prayers included all my relatives
and wide circle of friends. Some
how l felt there were thoughts
and prayers for me from across
the ocean. glanced at my watch
and subtracted seven hours. Yes,
it was Christmas Eve back in
Ohio and most of you were retiring
for the night.
A color spectacle was just be-
ginning before my eyes and at
tacted me with its splendor.

MAN CAN LOSE FACE BY SEAT

OKINAWA, Ryukyu Islands, June -(Delayed Lesson in Oriental logic-a man can lose face " the seat of his pants.
 A complaint by an earnest little group of Okinawan civilian lead CTS impressed this lesson upon the Americans governing this island. A spokesman for the group politely but firmly presented his views through an interpreter along this Ire:
 When you Americans first came here you gave to Okinawans who started working for you trousers and shirts much resembling American uniforms. We were proud to wear tfese and they gave us much face.
 Then you started stamping the clcthing with the letters MIG, stand ing for Military Government, and we lost prestige"
 A military government official ex- plained that it was necessary to brand the clothing to prevent thefts and to keep oyer-generous American troops from giving their clothing to

BABY FACTORIES, HITLER BUILT, ARE
 CLOSING DOWN

BAD WIESSEE, Germany, June 29.-The baby factories Hitler built for the SS are closing down, but not for lack of business.
 Thousands of babies conceived before the German surrender will be born in the next seven months, many of them to unwed mothers, but instead of coming into the world in such idyllic surroundings as this Bavarian gardenspot, they will be born at home or in city hospitals.
 Under the Nazi regime dozens of maternity homes were scattered in hotels about Bavaria and in quiet resort towns like Bad Wiessee
 Under the Nazi mass production program babies came cheap com pared with costs in the United States.
 Those who could afford it were charged 3la to four marks a day before the birth of the baby, six marks day for 10 days after the birth, and Az marks day there after. All doctors and medical costs were included and those who could not afford it paid nothing.
 The Allies have placed value ot 10 cents on the mark.
