Christmas without candy and nuts is what the little French boya and girls In Sedan had this year. Old Santa couldn't bring them any sweet meats because there weren't any In Sedan and a battle line separates them from their daddies who were, or who still may be. In the French army. Snnta Clans brought a few toys, but they were the same sort he brought two Christmases ago, for tiie toy shops had only the supplies they had left over from the Christmas of 1913. No wonder the little boys and girls of Sedan are anxious for pcuce, so Santa Claus can bring them once more all tho little things he bringB boys and girls from toy land and su gar land at Christmas time. I talked to the mother of two ftt- tle boys, who Is running the toy shop her husband owned before he wont to war. She had toys and dolls In the window and on tho shelves, but less than one-tenth of what she had in peace time. .The little doll dresses were out of style. The hats the lady dolls wore, were of the Paris 1913 mode and not at all what Paris ladles wear today. Tho toy automobiles were 1912 models. "Do you know when the war will "ncl?" she asked. She might have cried, but days and nights of cry ing for months after the war start ed had used up all her tears. "I have nothing against the Ger mans," she continued. "They have been good to me ever since they have been hero. I can go to bed every night with my front door un locked and know that nothing will happen to harm me. I don't care who wins thlB war. Of course, I love my country, but what Is my country to me with my husband gone, my family broken up, my babies with a Christmas not knowing whether their father is dead or alive. My family Is my country," she said in the dramntic manner of French wo-, men. Her next statement was most sur prising: "If you are an American I haven't the least regnrd for you. America la making this war longer and more horrible, Evory day America makes it harder for me to live. American Bhells, Mon Dleu! More hells! I'm sick and tired of It all. Won't we ever have peace?" I asked her If the American Re lief Coihmlttee had not sent food to the people. "Have you seen our groceries?" she asked. "Butter is four francs a pound. We have little meat. No more white bread. Olive oil is gono. Vegetables are scarce. What has happonod to'the American Relief Commission? Have you seen our candy stores? Shelves empty. Mon Dleu, what a Christmas for our children! "I ask you, 1b it right for tho wo men and children to bear the burdens of all this killing?" She leaned over, her hands behind her back, her head extended and her red eyes flashing fire. Just then tho toot toot of an au tomohllo attracted our attention. It was a red cross ambulanco from the front. "More wounded," she mur mured. "More wounded! Mon Dleu! When will this thing be over?" Last night there was a heavy snow storm. The rootB and trees were white, just tho kind of a night that Santa -Clause travels in his Bloigh with his reindeers. Today In Ameri ca there w.s plenty of food for all. Here In Sedan Is Christmas and Snnta Clans who when ho got to Se-j dnn at all, had to go up and down tho chimneys with two year old toys and no candy or nuts. I wondor lfj he left Sedan without tears in his, old eyes! Lady Ralph Paget Lady Ralph Paget, whose mother. Lady Arthur Paget, is a daughter ot the late Paren Stevens of New York) is one oi me most ardent liea urosi workers among the British nobility. She was one of the principal organ, izers of the hospital servica in Serbii and was in Belgrade engaged in Red Cross work when the Germans took that city. She has now applied to t the Belgian Red Cross for admission. story of how tho soldier happened to be In the hospital. Tho French trenches at this sol dier's particular part of the front were fiity yards from the German trenches. A harmless old cow re lieved trench monotony each day by grazing between the lines. The French and German soldiers finally came to an understanding that the opposing lines should alternately have the opportunity of milking the cow and be Immune from attack dur ing the operation. This went on for some time until a French officer suspected that the Germans iwere using their milking time. Tor spying purposes and order the next German milking party to be' fired on. The French soldiers thereupon built a wood cow, as near as pos sible & counter-part oU the real one. and put a machine gun inside to await the German milkmen. The soldior who relates the., story took his station inside the cow and was successful in slaying three Ger mans as they approached with milk palls. Having fulfilled his mission the soldier prepared to slide his wooden cow back to the trench when he' was interrupted by a ter rific shock. The cow was smashed to ipleces. Th.e soldier succeeded in escaping, though wounded. This is how he happened to be in the hospital. City and country. CallB answered until midnight. Three car service.
