But as he gulps his scalding coffee he looks around and wonders. "Will he be here tomorrow? Will I be here?" Sometimes presents from home arrive on Christmas Day.

They are opened in reverence. A man peers into a battered package, then lifts out broken chunks of dried and crumbling fruit cake and passes them around to his buddies. Everybody shares what he has. The men who get mail take their letters and walk a little way apart They want to read them alone. They don't want to show the sudden tears in their eyes.

Sometimes the soldier holding the mail calls out a name twice. "Well, do you want it or don't you?" he demands. NO ONE answers. No one wants to. Suddenly the soldier understands.

He calls out another name as he puts at the bottom of the pile the letter that came for a man who could have Tead it yesterday, but today is deaf to hews from home and will be foreyer. On Christmas night, back in the line, the troops lie in their foxholes and stare up at the cold clear stars, and that yearning query again rises inside with a strength that almost chokes them: "Why?" Helping their loved ones garland a Christmas tree now, many a man looks back and remembers a Christmas spent in snowy Belgium or on some stinking Pacific Island or on a frozen ridge in Korea and thinks a grateful prayer.

It "is peace and family unity.

No group of our people realizes more the blessing of Christmas at home than the millions of ex-servicemen who spent past Christmases far from home in wartime. Their minds this time of year turn back to those past times, their half-forgotten ordeals abroad, and their hearts surge with gratitude that they made it home at last. And they remember with a pang the fate of those who didn't. MEN are never more desperately lonely than at Christmas time on a battlefront. No matter how strong their faith in their cause, on this day that cause has an air of unreality and illusion.

"Why am I here?" each man asks himself. "Why am I not home? War doesn't make sense." Only peace makes sense at such a time, and peace seems far away and never to be achieved. The airman climbs into his plane to take off on a bombing mission, and inside himself asks "why?" The infantry scout, moving forlornly across a forlorn field where death is possible at every step, silently asks himself the same unanswerable question. "Why?" THE HEADQUARTERS clerk, safe at a command post miles behind the front, is equally lonely. "Why?" he asks.

That timeless query rises in the breasts of thousands of men on both sides of a battle-front: "Why? Why? Why? What am I doing here? What are any of us doing here?" And their only reply is the growling of distant guns somewhere over the horizon, or the throb of hostile engines in an sky. Life is bittersweet as well as lonely to troops at war on Christmas Day. No one wants to have to pull a trigger or launch a bomb. The men at the actual front drop back in clusters for a hot meal and maybe a religious service. They feel closer to each other than ever because there is no one else near in that strange land to feel close to.
