holiday shoppers making belated pur-f

the electric street lamps brilliantly
lighted the shop windows, reassuring
the people, who fingered ON merrymak-

Picture Of Ruin.
The Presna district, however, pre-
by the hundreds who had been burned
out were excitedly searching the ruins
Or bemoaning the loss of dear ones,
while the police and troops continued
their nnceasing hunt for hidden revolu-
tionists.
A batch of Drujinists, surrounded in
a, sugar factory in the suburbs during
the night, surrendered this morning
when they found that further resist
ance was useless. ~
The only other warlike incident was
a rear attack made by aSbody of Dru-
jinists upon a detachment of troops
stationed at bridge with instructions
| to. cover the work Of the firemen. The
| soldiers when attacked turned right
j ABOUT face and fred a Yolley, killing
three students and Wounding several
others. ,sa ~ -
This was the coolest day of the win
ter, the thermometer registering IS de-

which the pickets are warming Them

seize the premises in order to get pos

scene by Governor General Doubassoff
and the troops prevented the strikers
