Christmas and Its Aftermath
fo tltc Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir Christmas him been and gone and
with the usual result, We havo spent ex
travaisntly on thlnrs that wn thnuitht would
pleast our friend, and they have turned
on u the name tnethoers We have a whole
lot of Junk that we are storing- away aa

ito'bt our frlenda feel the tame ahout what
wo gave thorn. We are g-olnir to do the
unit thins- neit year, and the next. Who
invented thla Infernal custom of Christmas
flHs?
1 do not believe that Christ approves of
ft. It takes our rntlru attention from Him
and we almost entirely forget that wo nie
arlebralln "Is birthday, but that It la a
time set for thj swapping of presents. It
teems unfortunate, that tfie expressions cuii
not be confined entirely to the children of
the family and friends, of an you n if an ate
that they really cannot fully appreciate
what tho day means, and for the ret of the
family. It should bo a homo day of re
unions, a church service a thlnir that Is
radly nerrlected In tho observation, except
In the day falls on Sunday with the chil
dren as tne rruests 01 nonnr 01 me a ay.
This Is hardly likely ever to be brought
about, but It should be Tho way the birth
day celebration la conducted today, It Is
tho cause of all kinds of trouble and worry
for weeks before Christmas, until you aro
tlmnst frantic when Christmas Kve comes.
It Is the condition In nil families, and
tore silly extravagance Is nhown at Christ,
mas time than any other part of tho year
when. Instead, we shoiild be trying" to emu
late the wnys of Christ, to be modest, eco
nomical, conalderate, metead of craving,
crafty. Inconsiderate and shiftless
With tho pocketbooka rather empty at
treront, let us start In anew with a food
spirit, but let u hejrm to save and eoono
mlte, and try to prepare for the future.
for things look very much aa If It was
roln-r to be needed, and many families who
hive celebrated bounteoualy at Christmas
are going to find themrelves sadly In need
kefore many months If tho present business

Defends General Pershing
To the Editor of Is Evening Public Ledger:
Sir I am not able to so Into detail In re
tard to the Doughboys' criticism and chars
against General Pershing's military disci
pline during the overseas service In the
world war. but I have thought a great deal
about the matter alnce I have had occasion
at dlvora times to form an opinion alone
with others in regard to the general and tho
source from which numerous reports have
come.
I am an ex-U. S. soldier myself, and be
lieve I was In the Philippine Islands about
the time Fershlng was there. Anyway, I
was In the Islands during the time of the
Samar massacre, and It la well remembered
now the great fuss that was kicked up over
General Smith's actions and later his recall
and court-martial.
Of course, the two episodes affectlm these
high-ranking officers of the American army
were not very similar. To be brief, one
was court-martialed, the other was pro
moted. Neither of them woa at llbrt to
act entirely Independent vt hla own desires
and the wishes of hla troopers.
In General Pershing's caae ho commanded
a ast amount In fact, more of America's
flBhtlnjr force awl the eplrlt that went with
It than any other officer had, so long as I
can remember While, In the meantime, he
was sent to the old world with alrlct orders
affecting himself nnd forces It la easy to
recall how he reported when he got there,
who he reported to, ete.
He went there for a big purpose, execution;
a soldier with soldiers to compare and bat
tle with: soldiers of old with military train
ing unaurpassed True, ho was not the all.

ther goes without saying that a general In
the urms under auch circumstances can
hnrdly find time to look after all the small
details that will naturally arise with so
largo a force, although being responsible to
a great extent.
Ho to make a long story short, I havo
summed up matters as they actually ap
peared to me, and concluded that as much
iary training and service. I heard criticism
of such men aa Oeneral Funston. Lawton
and others Not so much after they were
dead, however.
Hence shall we turn a new leaf, come

and airship scandals.

THE MASTER IS COMING!
They say the Maater Is coming to honor the

And none can tell at what house or home
the Maater will choose to stav,
And I thought, as my hoart beat wildly,
what If He should como to mine,
How I would strive to enteVtaln nnd honor

And strntrht I turned to tolling to make ni
home more neat,
1 swspt and polished and garnished and
decked It with blossoms aweet,
I was troubled for fear the Master might

I hastened and worked the faster ami

And I said, "I am grieved and sorrv but

the cripple turned awaj
And ths day woro onward swiftly and my I

And a praser was ever In my heart that th
