“Ersatz” Christmas
An Empty Celebration
With German People
VBY LAST MINUTE CABLE)
BERLIN. Dec. 15.—Thia was "Er
satz Christmas” in Germany.
Everybody in Germany is ersatz,
now. Ersatz, the German word
for substitute, has come to be the
most used, word in the Teutonic
language and it was applied to
Christ’s birthday by a wan, thin
girl the correspondent saw in En
ter den Linden. She was standing
in front of a shop with her small
brother. Their noses were pressed
Hat against a window, behind which
gleamed a gaudy Xmas tree, hung
' with frosted cakes and colored
candles. ■ ~
"Sister, do you think we will get
tandies and cakes this Christmas?”
the boy asked.
”Os course not," was the reply.
“This ts ersatz Christmas.”
Berlin ' was hungry today. There
were no candies and no oresents,
with the exception of trihklets.
There were no big dinners, but yet
there was no starving. The people
are thankful peace has finally
come. - ■
Merchants everywhere have “er
satz'* articles on sale. Caterers and
candvmakers displayed high-priced,
gaily-colored sweet meats —which
weri not sweet at all, and had a
most unsatisfying effect on the pur
chaser.
The streets have been a mass of
people. The crowds are half gay,
but not lively. Men, women and
children, their faces peaked, their
eves hollow and with no sparkle,
walked through the streets. Sol
d-eis presented a sharp contrast to
the civilians. They have been liv
ing well and are fat and bright. 4
Crowds in theaters, opera houses
and cases tried to put some spirit
into Christmas, but the joy was not
spontaneous. I noticed hundreds of
well-dressed persons staring at edi
bles displayed in windows.
Sumter County Farmers
Kill Many Fat Porkers
(BY LAST MLNUIz TELEBMAPM)
AMERICUS. Ga, Dec. 26.—The
present cold snap which began here
yesterday sounded the death knell
of hundreds of fine fat hogs, which
were being held on Sumter county
plantations for propitious weather
before being slaughtered. Farmers
in all parts of the country were
busy today killing pork which will
be packed and used during the com
ing months. The raising of pork in
Sumter county has already assumed
the proportions of a considerable
industry, and large modern meat
curing houses have been erected on
practically every important planta
tion in the entire county. It is
estimated by experienced farmers
that the cost of curing pork under
modern icing conditions on the
farms adds less than a fourth of a
eent a pound to the final cost, and
provides an absolute guarantee
against loss during the curing
process. Sumter county farmers, in
I addition to having sufficient meat
to supply their own needs during
the coming year, will this year have
a large quantity for sale.

PLANS TO FORM I
LOCAL LIVE STOCK
SHIPPING LEAGUE
Simple Procedure to Organ
ize Association of Breed
! ers in Any Community in
the South
Steps to be taken in organixing a
local live stock shipping association
in any community are simple. A
county agent or any interested live
stock shipper can take charge of the
organization and carry it out. A good
way to organize is outlined as fol
lows:
Make a survey of the shippers
around the local market to see
whether a co-operative shipping com
pany is needed.
Inform the producers of the pur
pose of the organization, submit the
project to the farm bureau board,
call a meeting of the shippers in
terested to hear a marketing repre
sentative explain the purposes of the
organization.
A constitution and by-laws should
be prepared, read, explained and
sentiment of the farmers taken to
see if the shipping company is de
sired. If so, proceed to organize.
Call a second general meeting and
have a commission man explain his
method of handling co-operative
shipments.
Hold a meeting of the board of
directors after the election. Explain
methods of marketing and loading.

(BY LAST MINUTE CABLE)
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY 1
OF OCCUPATION. Dec. 26.—The *is- ;
tributlon among officers of question- ■
naires asking whether they desire I
to remain in the army or return to
civil life, have set thousands of i.iem 1
to xvonderlng what they will do when
there is no longer use for them in
the army.
A canvass among the men who
have led doughboys, artillerymen, 1
flyers and all other branches of the
service, disclosed that the great ma- j
jority have filled in their blanks with
a desire to return at once to civilian
life. At least 50 per cent bf these,
it xvas discovered, will return to
their home ready to tackle some new
pursuit. They regard the war as the
turning point in their lives, offering
them an opportunity to start new.
Many are uncertain as to what oc
cupations they will select when they
I get back to the states. Younger of
-1 fleers as xvell as enlisted men vho
have not had the advantage of col
lege education, or who have not com
pleted couises, will go to school.
Many others are determined to go
west or south from eastern points.
The war will not be the cause of
a great shift in occupation especial
ly among the younger men. Approx
imately one-fourth of the men ques- I
tioned declared an intention to make
a change.

QUESTION OF CAMIONS
PARIS. Dec. 6.—(By Mail.)—
What xvill become of the thousands
of military automobiles and trucks
now in France? is a question fre

French transportation system may
be practically revolutionized by use
of the famous camions.
The French army alone has thou
sands of big trucks, which not only
carried supplies, but dashed from
one part of the front to another
with troops. Should these trucks
be turned to peaceful pursuits, rail
way traffic xvould be reduced great
ly. It is likely they will play a
big part in the work of reconstruc

Christmas at McPherson
Will Long Be Remembered
By 2,000 Soldier Guests >
Dinner at Noonj Presents and
Other Holiday Events Make
Up Day's Celebration at
the Fort
Christinas at Fort McPherson was
an event long to be remembered by
the two thousand or more soldiers
located there, either in the general
hospital as convalescents, or on
routine duty at the military post.
Under the personal direction of Col
onel Thomas H. Bratton, the com
manding officer; Lieutenant Frank R.
Summers, mess officer, and Miss
Graves, chief dietitian, the various
phases of the celebration were car
ried out to a perfection that left
the men xx’ondering how it was possi
ble to crowd so much enjoyment into
a single holiday.
The first event of the day was the
distribution of presents to the
wounded soldiers in the Red Cross
receiving station at 10 o’clock In the
morning. A huge Christmas tree had
been erected there and the room had
been elaborately decorated for the oc
casion. The Fifty-fifth infantry band
from Camp Gordon, guests at the
post, rendered an appropriate pro
gram prior to the distribution of
presents and then the big tree was
stripped of its gifts, each man re
ceiving some remembrance. Christ
mas trees were also erected in each
ward of the hospital, so that the
wounded men who xvere unable to
leave their beds shared In the gen
eral jubilation.
The big event of the day was the
Christmas dinner, xvhich was served
at 12 o’clock in the various mew
halls and which proved to be one ot
the most elaborate feasts ever at
tempted at any military post. The
preparations for this function were
in charge of Lieutenant Summers
and Miss Graves, who outdid them*
selves in arranging an extraordinary
holiday spread for the boys in khaki.
More than six hundred soldiers,
along with several civilian guests,
sat down at long tabled in the main
mess hall, which had been beautiful
ly decorated for the occasion. The
post orchestra, stationed in the center
of the room, struck up "Carry On,”
as the men marched in. and then
swung into "The Star Spangled Ban
ner,” while everyone stood at atten
tion.

EIVE HARWICH!
HARWICH, England. Dec. 12.
(By Mail.) —Harwich, the port to
waich the German submarines came
to surrender, will be remembered
bv the Jinglish as the port firing
the first British shot of the war.
At 3 o’clock the morning of Aug
ust 5. 1014, tour hours after Eng
land declared war, the Harwich
forces under Admiral Tvrwhltt put
out into the North sea. By 5 o’clock,
they had sunk the German mine
laying cruiser. Koenigin Luise,
caught strewing mines off the Eng
lish coast.
British naval men believe it was
partly because of this that Harwich
was picked as the final haven for
surrendering submarines.
Admiral Tyrwhitt commanded on
both occasions. He is the only ad
miral in the British navy to hold
his post throughout the war.
Before the war, Harwich was the
jumping off port on the tourist
route from England to Belgium,
Holland and Hamburg.
THERE'S BIG WOBK AHEAD /
LONDON. Dec. 11. —(By Mail.)—
Railroad tunnels under the Strait
of Dover and Gibraltar are project
ed as part of English and European
reconstruction. Plans already have
u- - n prepared. -
It also is proposed to construct a
railroad from Gibraltar along the
northwestern coast of Africa to Da
kar. Cape Verde, or Bathurst.
This, it is planned, would make
possible steamboat connection with
Brazil by which a traveler could
make the journey from the Mediter
ranean to South America in five
days. Connections from England
and France would be almost as
quick. ■
