...starts for home in his "perfectly appointed car." Presently he learns from his chauffeur that they have knocked down a child--"a wisp of a girl, poorly clad, whose pinched face spoke the lack of food." From this point on the old millionaire buys Christmas presents until along toward the end, when we hear of "the star which they saw in the East"; and catch from the mother of the wisp that ever-beautiful sentiment, "God bless you, Mr. Campbell. My dead husband once worked for you, and he said you were a hard man. But he surely was wrong...

But for a half mile further south--toward the centre of the town--and inland, the destruction is only less complete.

Turkey is evidently under German control, and the armies are undoubtedly directed by German officers. Nevertheless, both Bulgaria and Turkey have respected American lives and interests; many of the leading Bulgarian statesmen and officers were educated...
