Decay Of the British Christmas.

From the Ladies' Pictorial.
Mistletoe has had its day. The dealers
say there is little or no demand for 1t
and, sad to say. there seems to be de-
cided falling Off of In all Christmas deco
rations All manner of prosaic reasons
are given for this cutting down of a
picturesque Christmas custom. the chief
being that people mostly live in flats now
adays and, as their space is limited, they
do not care to fill their rooms with green
cry, which gathers dust and makes a
mess.' Then, as we no longer keep
Christmas with jollity," mistletoe seems
certainly out of place. We cannot let
the holly, the box and the bay go with
out a pang. nevertheless and IL we ac-
quiesce mildly in their abolition who

last. \ statement of grievances on the
part of Colombia was presented TO the

Dec -. General Reyes says that the
course of the United States worked
the treaty of 1916 as showing that
the independence and sovereignty of
Colombia was to bc maintained intact
between the two governments.
Rights of the Colombian Congress.
General Reyes said with reference
to the Hay-Herran treaty that the
same course was followed i'll BOgota
as was pursued in Washington. If
the treaty. he said, had been rejected
in Washington the diSHpprOval would
have involved 10 grievance for COlOm-
bia. and that the Colombian congress
in its disapprOval of the treaty simply
exercised a vested right. This action
he maintained did not disqualify the
Colombian government for the cOnclu-
sion of another treaty. He Also says
he firmly believes that satisfactory
treaty would have been negotiated
had not the American minister at RO-
gotta repeatedly declared in the most
positive manner that his government
would reject any amendments that
might be offered"
Charges Us with Offensive Conduct.
After citing the instructions TO Min

ton General Reyes concludes: NO
one will wonder that under the pres
sure of threats so serious and irritat-
ing. and in presence of Il formal nOtiti-
cation from the party which had the
authority to serve it that no amend
ment would be accepted. preference
was given to diSapprOval." AS to the
recognition of the republic of Pana
ma General Reyes says that il is Il
matter of public knowledge that the
mother country commands sufficient
forces to Subdue revolution. The
attitude of the United States" he
says. constitutes according to the
most ancient and modern authority on
law not only great of
fensc. but also n formal attack upon
