Jan. 2, 1919
Dear Mother and all :
Just a few lines to tell you I am in the
best of health and hope you are too.
Well, Christmas and New Year are
over and being in Europe I hardly real-
ized that there were two such days for
here the people do not celebrate either
one,
We are billeted here in a small town
and on Christmas morning the children
woke up only to find no candy or toys.
They gathered up their old hard boots
and shoes and started off for church,
then sat around all day. Then on New
Year all small children in the village
crowded into one house and the man
there presented them with some home
made candy and, believe me, I have
seen happy children but never saw any
as happy as they. Some had the candy
in their hat, some in their pockets and
the little girls had theirs in their apron
and were going down street singing
some song in Luxemburg Dutch. 1 did-
n't understand it at all ; it was too deep
for me.
I got a Christmas box from my wife
and I gave some to the little ones here
and some to the old folks as well, and
they looked at each other and thought it
was the finest in the world. It looked
almost as good to me for candy is hard

December 31, 1918,
Dear aunt ;—
I should have written sooner, but will
do so now before I forget and put it off
longer. In fact I could hardly write
sooner either as we've been traveling
quite a bit lately. A few days after the
signing of the armistice we started after
the retreating Boch, marching through
Lorrain and into Luxemberg where we
stayed ten days and spent Thanks.

Republicans in Senate and House
Railed Against Revenue Bill and
then Almost Unanimously Sup-
ported It,—Peanut Politicans
Play Little Games.
The passage of the Revenue bill by
the House of Representatives by an al-
most unanimous vote, only 11 members
sazing to go on record as opposing it, is
a striking illustration of the characteris
tic Republican policy of bluff, bluster
and crawl. Early inthe session, when
the Democrats being in the majority
and therefore responsible for all legisla-
tion, outlined the bill as they thought : it
should be, the Republican leaders storm-
ed and protested. Never would they per-
mit such a measure to be passed, they
declared, Sooner than allow it they
would filibuster against it and *make
an extra session necessary. And now,
when put to the test, it goes through
with only four Republican votes cast
against it,
S50 it was with President Wilson's re-
quest for an appropriation of $100.000.-
000 for the relief of the starving people
of several European countries—a recom-
mendation that was amply justified on
both humanitaran and business grounds,

have been yelping at the President from
a safe distance are beginning to change
their tactics. Their voices are less stri-
dent and menacing. For a fortnight
now they have been almost mute. It is
a safe prediction that when the treaty of
peace, framed largely on the lines laid
down by Mr. Wilson, comes before the
Senate for confirmation the opposition
will be practically nominal. The Re-
publicans will be in a majority in the
Senate, then, but they will give the trea-
