This is the first Christmas since 1913 one could wish his friends--A Merry Christmas, and really believe that the wish was possible of fulfillment. And even now, the joyous celebration of the Yuletide season must accentuate the loneliness and grief of those whose loved ones have made the sacrifice that this wonderful Victory Christnse might be possiblé--so let us add a spirit of thankfulness and reverence to our rejoicing, a small tribute to the mem- ory of those who earned for us this festival of peace and goodwill.
