CHRISTMAS SHIP'S
CARGO IS COMING
Gifts for the "-Children of Europe

Already Arriving.
i

Many- (location Answered by the

What to Send and When
to Send It.
"Packages are beginning to come In for
the Christmas Shin, one from as far
away as Basin. Wyo.. from Marlon ,
Ttlahnn vh unA. .nmothlnir that will !
make happy at least one heart that Is
sore tried by the war in Europe.
Also many requests for further informa
tion aa to the ChristmaB Ship and its
purposes. The CbrlHtm&s Ship editor has
been busy answering these 'letters and
now wants to state again very plainly
the purpose of the Christmas Ship.
It ts not designed to Rive to the chil
dren of any particular country, but is for
all the children of the war-strl; ken coun
tries of Europe from the children of
peace-blessed America, Banta Claim has
no flag, knowa no race nor country, has
no boundaries to his kingdom, but is fori
all the children of all the world. And '
tha children of Germany, Russia, Aus-,
trla. France, Belgium, England, Ireland, .
Scotland. Wales and .Servla will see or ,
hoar little of Santa Clans this coming i
Christmas unless the children of Amerr-1
lea help out the Christmas Ship by pro-;
vtding its cargo.
Ninety American newspapers are pro-
motlng the plan, giving their services !
The American navy win furnish the I
ship to carry the gifts from America to
Kurope. And you may be sure that the
governments of Europe will stop the war
leng enough to give safe and free passage
to that great vessel, carrying the iar
Spangled Banner and laden with the
Christmas joy for the children of Kurope.
What will go In those presages?
Everything, and with each and every
article will go a message of love, unex
pressed in words, maybe, but all the more
eloquent because It Is simply expressed
in the gift Itself.
What to Glre.
What will the gift be? What is wanted?
What shall we put in?
These questions are asked many times
over, and the only answer the Christmas
Bhlp editor can give Is, "Anything that
la useful or of service for boys and
girls." Here Is the Invoice of a package

asaistanca to some who are willing to

ot his experiences, Ituhl said:

According lo an official announcement
German cavalry some dnya ago had ad

to an official dispatch to the Amer

Its conaula, who asked or Instruc
tions e to the care of the foreign In
tfreata during the expected period
of occupancy.
LONDON,"c.. 13. All eyea to
day are turned to the eastward
where, under conditions of the ut
mot aecrecy, the Teutonic alltea and
the Huaalana are preparing to en

moat det'lalve combats of the war.
Evidence In accumulating to show
that this gigantic conlnci will be
determined In Russian Poland, tha
only question disturbing Hrltlsh ex
pert la as to which aide has chosen
Ihe battleground.
Berlin adults having withdrawn
from the Niemeh river and at the
ame time discounts the whole move
ment In that region aa beln of no
strategic importance. It ls now
clear that HtiHsia haa abandoned the
narrow point In Gallcia, between
Preimysl and Cracow, Russian forcea
having virtually -occupied all of
Gallcia with the exception of thsje
two places. . Petrograd nalms this
operation is due to strategic reasons.
While Vleuna maintains that the re
juvenated Austrian armies nave re
lieved the Przemysl fortress and
driven the invaders out. x
It la unquestioned that the more or less
demoralixed Austrian forces, stiffened by
German reinforcements, have resumed the
offensive, but there Is no Information hera
to Indicate that the Russian retirement is
anything in the nature of a rout resulting
from vigorous fighting.
Whatever may be the Intention of tha
armies operating on the ends of the greiit
nusslsn bsttlefront, it Is clesr that these
movements have paled Into Insignificance
beside
the tremendous advance in the
center.
Broadly speaking, this is now tha posi
