Jean Malard, mayor of Saint Mihiel,
France, said recently: "Tell the Amer
ican people that all of us thank them
for delivering us and feeding us
through their Red Cross. We thank
your men and your country for de
livering us. We will never pardon the
Germans for what they have done. No
German can ever return to Saint
Mihiel. They are barbarians untit to
meet civilized people. Our food was
obtained entirely through the Spanish
and American Red Cross, otherwise
we would have starved, for the Ger
mans supplied none, and would not let
us produce it.”

Everett Elks Spring New Plan
for Christmas Cheer.
The Elks' lodge of Everett, Wash
ington, has turned over to the Everett
chapter of the Red Cross five hundred
dollars to be used for extending Christ
mas cheer to some of the destitute
children of Northern France and Bel
gium.
Back of this lies a story. This year,
in addition to having the annual
Christinas tree at the Elks’ club for
the needy children of the city and
vicinity, the lodge decided that it
iL’/tiihl lit diflnrpiit timn mi thn utimo
day, give all the other children of
Everett an opportunity to put some
thing on the tree for the less for
tunate youngsters in war-torn Belgium
and France, the gifts because of trans
portation difficulties, to take the form
of money, anything from a penny up.
The plan is to have the children gather
at their respective schools Christmas
day, march to the Elks' (dub, form
around the big decorated tree in the
lodge room, sing several Christmas
carols and then give their offering to
Santa Claus who will be there in per
son to receive it. Santa will give to
each child or adult a tag to show that
the wearer helped Santa Claus to fill
a stocking on the other side of the
ocean.
In order, however, that Santa Claus
may got the toys and knicknacks to
France and Belgium in time to put in
the stockings by Christmas day, the'
Everett Elks have advanced live hun
dred dollars to the lted Cross now and
will themselves obsorh any difference
between that amount and what Santa
Claus receives ut the tree on Christ
mas day.
