ing scramble as at Christmas th
day with it:-tl beautiful mcssn(:c of
"Peace on Karth, (loort W'i 1 1 to Man,''
which has made the home ties more
sacred anil secure. The (lay when wo
hark back to childhood and live over
aain the wondeis of the first Christ
mas we remember. Sometimes there
was only a bit of red ribbon on a won
dci ful golden orange to mark the day.
Others have the recollection of won
derful toys a fairy land of stores
and n KorKtMms L,m ni a brilliant
church with an almost unlielicvable
Santa ('laws. And always the de
means "home nffain." Tins year,
,when "hard tinuvs" were hiverin'.r,
black-winjreov everywhere the honie
coming .spirit seemed ntroiijfer than
ever.
Amonj? those coming to Joseph for
the liolidays were: Mis. Cordon and
Josephine Hondan of Baker and Kileen
P.ondam of Salem, all at the Uondaa;
Mr. and Mrs. Oakley Iturroiih and

rAHIS, Hec. 28. (tionernl Per
cln. In a book describing more than
200 battles In France and Belgium
during the lato war, concludes from
data collected by hint that 75,000
'French soldiers were killed by their
own artillery through Uefectivo liai
son.
The 1ossp3, lie say.i, were higher
by 50 percent In the French army
tluin In the German army. "I lie loss
es ot the Freuch infantry, ho finds
wei-e comparatively four times
greajer than tlie losses of the ar
tillery. He rixes the French losses
from the enemy's fire at 0,000,000
killed: and wounded.
Geiwral Percln was military gov
ernor of the fortress of Lille just;
after tlie outbreak of the war. He
evacuated the fortress on orders re
ceived froin the government when
the Germans approached the Iron-
tier nnd was, for .a long time, sup
posed by the general public to have
cvaucated the place of his own voli
tion. A lively controversy between
his friends and adversaries has been
going ever since as to whether he
was badly treated by the General
Staff. He has severely criticised
the conduct of tho war in tho field
by the French staff.
