AMERICAN KIDDIES WILL PLAY SANTA GLAUS TO MANY OF THE LITTLE REFUGEES OF FRANCE

American children getting Christmas gifts ready to send little French refugees.. The little refugees of devastated northern France are going to have their first Christmas in several years. The American kindergarten kiddies are going to take care of that. , When the American Fund for French wounded sent out an appeal for these little French sufferers, who have lived or rather survived German bondage for three years without knowing a Christmas or even tasting a lump of sugar or a stick of candy, the American children at once went to work. For weeks they have saved their pennies to buy candy and toys, which they are going to send in stockings to the little refugees in France. .

SOCIALIST HITS AT ZIMMERMAN DRESDEN, Saxony, Thursday, Nov. 29 via London, Nov. 30 During the budget debate today in the lower house of the Saxon Diet, Deputy Fleissner, a socialist, made a severe attack on the German foreign policy and said he had in his possession a copy of a treaty signed by Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, former German foreign secretary, which, if it had been drawn up and signed within the limits of the empire would have been equivalent to high treason. The deputy's assertion caused some excitement, especially in view of his offer to read the treaty in open session. The president of the Chamber asked to see the document which he turned over to Count Von Vitzthum, Saxon foreign minister. The count made the following declaration: "I have not discovered anything In the document which would Incriminate German diplomacy or could . be construed as not permissible. I am unable to vouch for the genuineness of the treaty, and confine myself to stating that the document concerns a treaty concluded during the war and is directed against a power which is at war with U3 and therefore recommends only such measures as correspond with war time usages and international law. I emphatically reject as wholly unfounded the speaker's reproach of former foreign secretary Zimmerman."

"We are still well satisfied here and getting lots out of life, eating the best in the land and all we can eat, too. Would love to hear from Dye or see some one from home." Ashinger's letter was written November 3. and at that time his battery had not been sent to the battle line. In a previous letter he intimated that his regiment was stationed in a section which had at one time been occupied by the Germans for he told how the boys frequently hunted over the country for souvenirs, such as German helmets and shell pieces.
