SCOT PRIVATE TELLS HOW “SILENT NIGHT STILLEI) WAR GUNS It was Christmas Eve. 1914, be- tween Armeniiers and Arr-as. while Gordon Highlanders huddled in trenches when somebody remem- bered the day. “Jim. let's sing." one said to Private James Sutherland of Nor- folk. Va. Jim pleaded off. hut someone else started "Silent Night Holy Night" and soon Jim and he whole Scot regiment had joined in. When the last refrain subsided. from the opposite trenches arose other voices-wtttuneq in "Stills Nacht." Then all night long Christ- mas carols rang from trench to trench in strange tongues while aannon and flares from other sec- tors lit. the sky. At the customaiy "zero hour" the British soldiers saw gray-clad figures making their way out oi the opposite trenches A few shots were fired, Then f-t was seen that the Germans carried no arms. Scots leaped from their trenches. Still later the jewelry caste sys- tom was: gold rings for freeborn men, silver rings for frecdmI-n and iron rings for sisvr-r.

James said himself that he “didn't. like the look of the sky" at bedtime. when he set an upstair window aslant to guarantee good sleeping for us. "It guess these snow fiurries will settle into a storm" he remarked. "Well" he said. hastening through the dark to get beneath the bed oovers “if Winter comes now we have every- thing i.n fairly good shape for it- we might. l suppose. have got a few more potatoes away". His sil- ence then was a sign that he still followed this line of thought. Doubt- less he was reviewing the last two months. wondering Just. where the plans for the Fall work might have been battered. Then he went along to his last query, which has been a subject of some speculation and much search, in leisure moments. these last days. “Ellen" he asked. his mind tripping off into the future which brings the wood-cutting "have you seen anything yet of that but axel- it'll be lost now under the snow- and us needing it i.n the worst way one of these fine days." He nudged me “Are you sure you didn't have if. Ellen?" I maintain- ed a, silence which permitted him to pursue the lost axe here and there about the premises. to his heart's content. Apparently this was quite as soothing and sleep produc- i.ng as counting sheep Jumping over a stile, and it was really no time until I hurried away after him into the land of dreams.
