A RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
TO THOSE WHO FEEL POOR:
To Those Who Feel Poor:
I write as your brother.
We are a large family.
This world-war made in Ger
many, against which we are
fighting, has sent our incomes
down and our expenses up.
The pinch hurts, but it is not
going to kill us.
We still have enough and
something to spare. .
Though we feel poor, don't
let us be impoverished by selfish
fear!
Let us save in food, in service,
in clothes, in luxuries and joy
rides, but not in money!
Let us use that by giving it to
save the wounded, the suffering,
our friends, our country!
Let us keep Christmas this
year by keeping up the Red
Cross!
Then it will not be a poor
Christmas, but a rich Christmas
to our hearts.
HENRY VAN DYKE.
The preceding open letter from Dr.
Henry Van Dyke to the college men of
America Is a reminder that we must
do our Christmas thinking early. Our
interest in Christmas time is broaded
than it was one year ago, Just as our
responsibilities are greater. We have
no right to look forward to a white
Christmas at home unless we first pro
vide for a merciful Christmas across
the water.
It has been a long time since Ne
braska has faced a situation like the
present. It was seven years ago that
students and coaches and the team
were getting ready to wipe out a Kan
sas defeat with a Cornhusker victory.
The evening before the team left fur
Kansas City, where the game was
played, there was a big rally at the
station and Coach King Cole told the
rooters what would happen that Satur
day. Thanks to the dodging ability
of Owen Frank, present assistant
coach, King Cole's predictions were
true. Hut it was a hard-fought game,
and a single touchdown decided it.
How similar conditions are this
year! Nebraska has a Kansas defeat
to wipe out the first one she has suf
fered for a long time, which makes
it all the more necessary to eradicate
it. The game will be close, either
way it goes; if you doubt that point,
read the reports from Lawrence. It
will be a,hard-fought battle, a battle
where Kansas spirit and Nebraska
spirit will clash to the death. And
the team leaves tonight for Kansas
City; from there it will go to Law
rence for the game. There is going
to be a big send-off tonight, one that
the team will remember when it trots
out on McCook field Saturday. Coach
Stewart will tell what is to happen
Saturday, and Captain Shaw will tell
you how the team feels about it. The
band will play and the gang will cheer.
And Saturday, if human endeavor can
accomplish the feat, the team will
make history our chance to help
make history is tonight.

Y. M. C. A. WAR WORK
Newton D. Baker
"On every battle front, and behind
every battle line, the Young Men's
Christian association operates to the
comfort, convenience and happiness of
the soldier. General Pershing has
cabled me that the service rendered is
invaluable.
"The relations between the associa
tion and the army are intimate and
cordial, and all the agencies which the
government has undertaken to install
to surround our soldiers in camps in
this country and abroad are supple
mented by the helpful work of the
Young Men's Christian association.
"The need for this fund has been
carefully estimated by you, and those
working with you, and while the sum
seems large it is, in fact, small when
one remembers that its benefits ex
tend over the great eastern and west
ern fsonts, and while primarily for
the service of the American soldiers,
they are to a large extent helpful to
our French, English, Russian and
Italian comrades in arms.
"We speak of our allies in this great
war for liberty, and in our thought we
include the soldiers of the other na
tions on our side of the contest; but
the Young Men's Christian associa
tion is our ally, as are the other great
religious and social agencies which
strengthen and enable the purpose of
our soldiers and surround their serv
ice with care and comfort while they
are separated from the wholesome in
fluences of home.
Cordially yours,
"NEWTON D. BAKER,
' Serretary of War."

from his temporary station at South
Hampton, England, that he has made
the trip across safely and without any
incidents or particular thrills to mar

"but no undersea vessels saw fit to
bother the ship which I boarded."
There are a number of exciting
phases about the life so far which the
censor forbids any of the soldiers from
communicating such incidents to their
friends back home.
The contingent now at South Hamp
ton are expecting to be transferred to
southern France at any time.
