Here on the banks of the Rhine the world seems topsy tuny this Christmas day, 1918. One thinks there was never such a Christmas before. Peace on earth, good will to men, Christmas spirit rules along the Rhine. When before was the Christmas spirit the measured tread of a for eign army? When before did con quering invaders join In celebrating ( the nativity in the right and propel spirit with the conquered, but that is what la happening along the Rhine today. The Christmas tree in the dough boys' barracks and the' Christmas tree In the parlor of the German home grew on the same hillside. were bargained tor tn the same mar ket and In cases which I know were trimmed from the same box of tin seled trappings. If all invitations had been accepted there would be few doughboys at company dinners today, for Christmas Is children's day, and where Is the kid in.thls part of Rhineland who has not his dough bov Dal and we are at war with Germany, I believe? What does this Christmas on the Rhine mean? Who can tell Its effect on history? How can you figure it that the American soldiers whom children were calling swine when they came here 10 days ago are now an object of adoration to these same children and of respect to the chil dren's parents? How can you figure It when a soldier with three stripes for wounds which the Germans gave him walks down the street with a toy for the first German child he meets? Figure it any way you want to, it's true. And when you have figured that out, there Is to explain why It is that President Wilson, the man who did more than any other-man to crush German hopes for victory, would, if he appeared here this Christmas day get a welcome that would astound the world. Why Is it that on this day the eyes and hearts of Germany are turned hopefully toward America? Oh 1 have heard that it is all part of a deep-laid plot! But what of deep laid plots knows the little boy who steps shyly from the sldewam ana then, with growing confidence, to the side of an American soldier and, placing his hand on the butt of a Yankee' rifle, marches proudly down the street. Yes, the Germans turn honefullr to America because th doughboy buys a Christmas present for a little enemy. Germany and the German people turn to America because America is full of Christmas spirit. Seated here by the Rhine and hearing the strains of "America ' echo back from the historic hllla one wonders if these e hoes will no' reverberate for a Ions time. 1 know something of the crimes of Germany; something of the hateful trials of Germany. Cancers they are and Germany needs a physician, the Great physician, the secret of whose skill is the spirit of Christmas the snirit'of Christmas 1918, on the Rhine. Edwin L.
