The Georgian learns that some
newsboys are presenting to persons
on the streets Christmas cards with
a plea for contributions. Some ofl
the cards, or rather the boys whol
present them, give the impression
'rimt‘they are representing the Emptyv
Stecking Fund of The Georgian and
’Sunda_v American.
This is not the case. No Georgilan
lnr American newsboy is allowed to
peddle Christmas cards or ask Christ
mas contributions and no boys are
authorized to ask contributions to the
Empty Stocking Fund—The Georgian
and American boys make their livings
by selling papers, not by begging on |
the streets. l
Remember, the only way to m:zk!fl
your contribution to the Empty |
Stocking Fund is to send it to the
Empty Stocking Fund Editor, care

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 4 —Field
Marshal von Mackensen was twice
wounded during the Serbian cam
paign, according to letters received
from Berlin. A bwllet fired by a
Serbian sharpshooter at Belgrade
went through the German leader's
arm and two days later a spent bul
let struck him in the shoulder.
For nearly two weeks the German
General Staff made no mention of Von
Mackensen in the official reports. At
the time this was attributed to the
fact that he was believed to have been
sent to Constantinople.
