In this connection we recall the noble efforts made by our Government in behalf of Edith Cavell after her conviction. Signed

DERELICT DIRIGIBLE HELPLESS IN WINDS Giant French Airship With Crew cf 57 Drifts Four Days in Mid-Air —Men Facing Starvation,
By L nited Prcis TUNIS, Dec. 24.—Prisoners of the sky—held aloft, the plaything of tempests for four days—fifty-seven members of the crew of the giant French naval dirigible Dixmude, attempted desperately to bring their huge craft to earth in northeast Africa today. With its fuel exhausted and its crew, many of whom are ill. subsisting on crumbs of rations that gave out several days ago, the former German airship, handed over since the war. had been hovering helplessly over the Gulf of Gabes. The Dixmude flew from Toulon, France, on a >ixty-hour cruise of the northern coast of Africa last Tuesday. For two days all went well. Then winter gales, roaring from the northwest, whirled the dirigible from its course. Helpless in Tempests Pride of France’s air navy, with many records for speed and endurance. the graceful Dixmude was help less in the grip of the tempests. Her propellers that could drive her seventy rnilse an hour whirred impotently as the gales drove the airship eastward toward the open sea. Th fate that has overtaken so ; many gallant oiffeers and men of the allies who have taken charge if gigantic German mechanical con- j trivances. the spoils of the World ( War, seemed in store for the Dix I mode crew. The airship was ett route for Biskra, having cruised over a bit of the Sahaia, when the winds took her in chi* :ge. Forced Out to Sea Blown towards Medenine at a rate of sixty kilometers an hour, despite, the efforts of her engines to send her against the gale, the Dixmude next for forced to sea over the gulf of. Gabes. In the storm her commander liad no chance to land on the coast. He sent an urgent wireless appeal: "Heavy tempest. Gasoline exhausted; many men sick.” % . French war vessels, including the cruiser Mulhouse. sped to the rescue. Then the Dixmude's wireless gave out: her last means of communication with the earth was cut off. Her propellers wen* idle when she was sighted from Tunis and it was believe! that she must inevitably he lost The crew’s chance seemed tn be to rip the huge gas bag and risk a plunge into the sea. trusting they might land near some vessel. The Dixmude had carried rations
ing laboriously over the pad of pa per on her chest. But it is a book of golden sunlight and soft shadows. Never once does the horror of those black places through which Nellie Revell found her tortured way cast a mark on these merry pages. There is pathos lurking ever around the corner, too, but that, after all, is what real humor is—the tear trembling perilously near laughter. And Nellie Revel! is a humorist. Once she said to rpe: "You’re the only friend I have who never gave me, ‘Speaking of Operations.’ What's the matter?” "What’s the use,” I replied. “You’ll write a book that will mai:e Irvin Cohb sit right straight take notioa.”

,for two days. By the end of the sixth day, the crew faced the actual pros pect of starving in mid air. Many became exhausted from "sea sickmss’’ caused _bv the tossing of the dirigible in the gales and from lack of food. For twenty-four hours the naval station here was without word from the Dixmude. Then, in some wav as yet unexplained, the airship reestablished its wireless—its one link with the earth. 1 Lute Saturday - the commander reported he wo;#! try to make a landing. Fires were lighted in a ring around the landing ground at Medenine and troops waited throughout the night to help the Dixmude to earth, but latest reports indicated the effort had l>een unsuccessful.

and she is entitled to the affectionate interest of the entire world,” The book deals with Nellie Revell’s reactions to life these past four years, since the day she was stricken down in the midst of an energetic life with spinal trouble. Intense suffering, real imprisonment in appallingly awful casts and braces, operations—every known torture has been her lot. Yet she has glimpsed the hutnor of life between the pains and she has thanked God for her friends —of whom no person in the world has so many. She writes of doctors, nurses, hospitals, and that is why the tribute from Dr. George David Stewart, president of the Academy of New York, i| unprecedented.

The incarnation is the greatest miM.de of the ages, bringing God down to man. “Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Christ, celebrated on Dec. 25. There was no room in the Inn for Jesus. In too many hearts today there is no room for Him and His saving grace. “The wise men followed the star and were led to Jesus. If we are wise we also will come to Jesus Christ and lay all our treasures at His feet. “The spirit of Jesus teaches us that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
