MAURET TANIA BREAKS ALL
TRANSATLANTIC RECORDS

FISHGUARD, Dec. 23.-The Maure-
tania, which left Liverpool on December
II, in an attempt to make a record
voyage to New York and return in
twelve days, arrived at 1922 O'Clock to-
night. The voyage across the ocean
and back and the rapid taking on of
cargo at New York enabled the con-
tinental passengers to reach their des-
tinations before Christmas. 1t was the
first time that a Decentralization at
night by big liner has been attempted
at this port.
1t was a novel sight. The harbor was
abaZe with arclights, flares and rock
cts. Vessels blew their whistles sirens
brayed and the crowd cheered as the
Mauretania steamed in, her band play
ing and her decks crowded with pas
SengerS.
The weather throughout the eastward
voyage was favorable. BY the aid of
four tenders, 600 passengers were land
ed. The first special train left for
London at 1855 and a special with the
continental mails and passengers left
at 11:47. The eastward passage of the
Mauretania occupied days, Is hours
and 81 minutes She maintained an av-
erage speed of 25.07 knots. The compa-
ny in honor of the occasion gave the
entire crew two days extra pay.

ARCTIC CLAN HALLS
TR|UMP PLANT SUN
SoI's Victory Over Darkness
Makes Longest Night of Year
Glorious in SkagWay

SKAGWAY, Alaska, Dec. 22.-Camp
SkagWay No. 1, the mother camp of the
Arctic Brotherhood, celebrated last
night with the triumph of the sun over
power of darkness, on the eve Of the
shortest day of the year.
The exercises We're held out of doors.
The brotherhood, in full regalia, pur-
sued and captured the prince of dark
ness, and dragged him through the
principal streets to the public COM
mon. The evil one escaped, but was
again pursued and oVertaken. tied to
a stake and burned to ashes. while
tomtoms rc.--ed frightful din and fire
works were burned. AS the fire died
away, a tablea, was unveiled, rep
resenting the queen of the arctic,
seated on the pedestal of virtue.
The brothers gathered about the
queen and sang the camp anthem
Hail to Our Arctic Queen"
Many members from other towns of
Alaska We're present, and it is likely
that the form of celebration will be
adopted in other parts of Alaska, where
the long nights are dreary and the days
lengthen rapidly after the passage of
the winter solstice.
The principle underlying the festivi-
ties is that observed in the rites of
ancient Scandinavians, out of which
the modern Christmas festival is re-
puted to have grown.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-New York has
a policeman poet, and Mayor Gaynor
says his poems are good. He is Theo-

his verses to the mayor today and his
honor promptly sent back this letter:
Dear officer Dulfer: L thank you
for sending me your book of poems. 1
suppose you composed them in your
head as you trudged around on your
lonely beat, possibly somewhere in the
outskirts of the city Do you think
you would be as poetical if you had a
beat down on the east side somewhere
with urchins at your heels all the time
and people all about you? Go right
on writing your poems, for they seem
to be good ones and are no doubt a
great solace to you"
