Christmas And Xmas

The annual combat between Christmas and Xmas has begun once more, In the United States this has been taken so seriously that a. Christmas National Convention has been called to take the X out of Xmas and make the unabbreviated form of the word, standard. Opie L. Shelton, Orangeburg, S. C., Chamber of Commerce Secretary, proposed l. resolution that the accepted form be Christmas. Out of two thousand letters received by him in which his suggestion is discussed, but six ex ress- 0d support for the shortened form,— mas. Clergymen of practically all denominations fav- ored the longer form.

"Xmas” began as pedantry. I: ended as care- hlr-or, rather, uncaring-irreverance. That X h Xuus was the Greek letter Chi, the equivalent of the English "Ch," one of the Cross-forms used to signify Christ in the early persecutions of the Christians. Latterly, most of the people who used it didn't know ivl-iat it meant. The shorter form ls going out of fashion. It may be seen occasion- ally but the full form, Christmas, has the over- whelming support.

Japan Well Prepared

Iapan has frequently been pictured as a country that is near exhaustion, economically and physic- ally, hy rcasou of ltcr costly aggression in China. Mr. llugh Dullun, l3ritish Aliuistcr of Economic Welfare, dcplores the acceptance of any such im- pression and declares that japan is well equipped for a long war. llritziin and -her Allies, he adds, should not cxpect quitl.‘ lTSlllls from any economic prcsstirc z-u this ni-iv (‘lllfllly in the liast.

Nazi War Oratory

(William Allen White, in the Emporla Gazette)

Old-fashioned people used to prophesy by the gristle of the gOCse breast bone. If it. ivas hard. 1t meant a. long, tough winter. It It was sch, It meant a. mild and open winter,

Quite apart from the smart mill- tary experts who are prophesymg about this war. the Gzwetle has its lzwn gCOSC bone. It. is a cem- pztrison cf the stievchcs of Churchill and the German lcutleu-s during the last. five months

Five months ago Churchill was saying: This is a long war. We are going h sec worse tiuics before we see better. Tirh‘ your jaws Pr. In lllis Sﬂltlc period. 1h;- leaders. Hitler and Goebbels, were saying: We have just had a "mir- aculous vlctery" over the Ruslans, an “unbelievable triumph ' They were adding that the ‘ is new over " They ti‘ that. 1941 would s1“? thrsm llirntigli Crcrman leaders were all full of hurrah. boys, and prepare for the shouting.

To-day Winston Churchill Ls say- ing: The worst Ls over. The war is not done and it may last a year or two, but we have gone through the toughest part cf it. The Ger- mans are saying: It will be a long, hard war, Th are admitting that Russia was no conquered as they said It was. They are denouncing the United Slates for prolonging the agony. They are preparing their people for a bill/er, Iiard whiter. and they are telling them what will happen if the Germans lost. There has been no "If" in German war oratory before this It rias all been exultatlon and boasting.

That ls our goose bone No mat- ter ivhat the military experts say. there is the thermometer. We ba- rometer and the speedometer ol’ this war.

That name must be kept. a. secret because Ruth must not grow up to be haunted by the knowledge or the night when she was only two and all alone In a London blitz.

Ruth became the child 0d the 1.0.0. They gave her an Identity card a mtlon book, and a gas mask. sine was also given s. brand new official blrthdnte-October 1. 1938 -so that she can have a birthday party every year and at 21st when she ccsnes of age, just like any

And less to the hero who dledl

And tlée rafters re-echo our laugh-

r As, recalling some Incident shared with our gallant and care-free compmilcxi, We drink to the hero who dared!

And the stranger may think we are

callous. But the Initiate well understands There's a. Brotherhood staunch that

unites us. Which death neither breaks nor dis- bands!

So tonight we may drink in the mess-room.

And tomorrow in Valhallafs Hall!

But, whether in beer or In nectar,

We pledge the Best Comrades or All!
