ALSACE CELEBRATES ,
A JOYOIJS CHRISTMAS
`ALsAcn vis Chantilly, Dee. 21-_
From t r-taif correspondent of the As-
:ocinlcd Press:
Nevin: in tho history of Alsace. re
conqucrifl by the French, has Christ
mais been celebrated with -such ie~rvor_
and hopei`ui'1ness~ as this year. Every*
vi`;!af:e church and chapel was filled
'fo overflowing for midnight Mass ser-
vices at which the clergy in some in-
stances offered public Drayele- that the
natioijxui councillors might be guided
aright in considering tho situation.
The re-Iigious exercises were pre-
ceded and followed by Sabbath schools
and f'nmily gatherings- around Christ-
mas trees, which local customs this
year carried out apparently with a
feeling of growing security in the
change of government. The co1‘ros~
pondent attended many of these pub-
lic and private functions during the
day and night and found everywhere
the biggest expression of confidence
in the future.
Thr correspondent also visited a
long section of [rout li_ne‘ trenches and
cantonments behind the- lines. ilu every
company. battery and detachment the
commanding ofllcer acted as father
Christmur- toward the men, each of
whom received some simple gift.

n AMAZING TIIE GERMAN
Tnpebintt Surprised That English Did,
Not Hate Immelmann _
‘ ---. I
in search of lmmelmann, the Ger-
man star flyer, on the Western front
a representative of the Berliner Tags- '
hiatt came across two English prison- I
er airmen whose machine had just,
been brought down within the Ger-I
man lin . Their names are given
as Perc_;lShaw,' aged 20, and Ernest !
Coleman. aged 22. The correspondent
writes: “They admitted quite honestly ,
that lmmelmann was a phenomenon,|
that his machine was extraordinarily
quick in its mogements, and appeared
with great promptness wherever it
was necessary to cause a. surprise.-
Then hollowed my questions: 'Do the |
English hate him? How do they speak _
of him?' _
“ 'Hate him'." asked both the youtg
men, and they looked at me wih
astonishrnent. ‘Why should wa? He
files and attacks. He is, a soldier.
We hate no soldlers.' ‘Weil,' I re-
plied, ‘it is said that you have put a
price on him. lsn‘t that so?' They
looked at each other, as if they had
seard something quita new, and wished
to have it confirmed by~ench other
whether they had heard- it correctly.
The one said, ‘What price; and who
will pay it'!’ .
"I explained that 1 had heurd it
fromvsome French prisoners, and that,
after all, it might only he 0. fairy tale.
‘But,' I added, ‘in your hangers it is
possible that Lieutenant Smith, for in-
stance, might bet Lieutenant Brown
$500 on the result of a fight between
an Englishman and lrnme1mann.' Each
looked me straight in the face_with
astonishment. l was very glad to see
it. ‘Do you know.how -many flying
machines he has already brought
down?’ I asked. They thought eight
or ten. hut believed thirteen was an
exaggeration. ‘But,' they said, ‘that
doesn’t matter at all. In England
for every machine that is brought
down they will build a dozen new
ones, and have a dozen new fliers
to put into them!"
On of the last Englishmen whom
Immelmann brought down. says a‘
German newspaper, was 11 very brave
tighter. I-Ie continued to fire while
,his stricken machine was gliding on
its fall. Then he took his hand from
the machine-g)m‘, shook both his fists
at the enum, , and dropped into the

WITTENBERG HURRDRS
Britain Underestimates Brutality of
' Prison Camp.0fi'icIais
In reply to a question by Mr. Mal-
colm, M,P., who asked him whether
any, and. if so, what, efforts wore
made by his Majesty`s Government to
secure an independent medical inspec-
tion of the prisoner camp at Witten-
berg during the many months that ,this
camp remained unvisited, owing to the
prevalence of typhus, by the American
Ambassador in Berlin or by any of
his stall. Lord Robert Cecil states:
“The Germans permitted no kind of
communication either by le.ter or
orally as to the condition of Witten-
berg during the months in question,
and the Government had, I need not
say, no suspicion of the horrors that
were going on there, or of the gross
and criminal cowardice of the German
.medical staff in abandoning their
duties to those under their charge.
Neither our allies, whose prisoners
In the camp were far more numerous
than ours, nor we demanded indepen-
dent medical 'examination of the
camp, and on behalf of the Govem.
ment I can only 'express profound re-
gret that we so under-estimated the
brutality of our enemies.” _ ‘

Ilsnaona Why Constant Drain ta
Europa Should be Made up
in' Home Forcen‘
Capt. A. E. Middleton Hope writes
In The Tatler as follows: Practically
the »_whole ot the 245.000 oflioers and
inen actually serving or havingyserved
in nie cautions mum 'si 'ure 'sur-
break of the war enlisted- for lervioo
overseas. Of the total of 245,000 more
than 220,000 are now in France ori
on the_wa.y there. 'girls fact is ofi
the first significance. t proves thati
the men who had some training wors_
the first to offer their services in the l
Cause of Right. To those men, citizen- I
ship meant sorvioe. ` I
We have arrived at a point in Can-i
adn where the Militia is practically!
iienudod ofimilitarily fit men, and new 
enlistments are few, notwithstandingl
the fact that ample well-trained 'of-
dcersand N.C.O.'s are available for
instructional purposes in every unit.
Those instructors, in the main. are
iebarred from overseas service for
various reasons. The fact \that new
men are not joining the Militia is
having its influence on recruiting for
overseas. It is becoming increasingly
more expensive and difllcult to com-
.plete the establishment of overseas
units, and yet only 86% of the avail-
able flt men have so far been re-
cruited.
Strong Reserves Needed
One of 'the essential principles upon
which the military strength of Canada'
xnustrely is this: that for every 1,000
men on the `firing line and lines of
communication in France, we must.
have 2.000 men as -first reserve in
England, and 2,000 men in reserve in
Canada. The reserve in Canada need
not be.men enlisted for overseas, but
it must~he composed of men possess-
ing some military experience. Canada
cannot be out of danger from invasion
at any time during peace or war,
though so long as the present war
lasts, -the danger in immediate.
Tlieitrained military reserve in Can-
ada Isla warning to our enemies that
we are ready, or only partially so,
according to our numbers. Conse-
quently, it is very necessarythat the
ranks of the Militia be kept up to
strength in order that the overseas
units be sent over to Europe instead
of being maintained in Canada. Every
avaliable man, though unable to go
overseas, who carelessly neglects to
serve in the Militia, is responsible for
the keeping in Canada of a man who
is able and willing to go overseas.
Compuiaion 'I -
If this neglect continues, it might
bo necessary in the immediate future
to pass an Order-in-Council making it
compulsory tor every available man
to join the Militia. In this event, the
members of tha Militia now serving,
being trained, would become officers
and non-commissioned officers of tho
new units that would have to be
formed. It is hard to understand why
men fail to appreciate the physical
mental and socinl advantages to be
obtained from military training for
the simple giving up of say, one night
a w_eok. No man who has had the
training could deny tha benefits de-
rived from it. _

"Marry or pay up." is tho motto of
Germany to~day. A society has started
operations called "The Society for
Population Increase." It is going to
drive the young Germans into matri-
mony by taxing bachelors to such an
extent that 'they will liavo, to pay out
as much as married men with families.
Professor Julius Wolf, one of Ger-
many’s leading economists, started
the society. The Kaiser is delighted
