Show MEN ASK CURIOUS CHRISTMAS GIFTS Special Cable to Tho Tribune. BERLIN. Jan. 22. Before Christmas a German society made inquiries at the different fronts to ascertain what Rifts would be most desired by the soldiers in the field. The surprising- result was that thousands of the fighters in the trenches expressed the hope that Santa Claus would bring them a pocket-book, even an old one. Many of the sold lei's have lost the purses which they took along when they went to war, and those of others have t'one to pieces. Their need has now been supplied, because tho Christmas mall car ried hundreds of thousands of new pocket-books to the trenches, and most of them were not empty. |
