emphasis on the fundamental idea that an open exchange of views. followed by an understanding on the mutual econom- ical and political interests of the two countries, would be the best means Of removing any distrust arising from the
 comparative strength of their armies and navies. The very continuance of such an
 exchange of views gives evidence of the friendly intentions prevailing on either
 side It may gradually remove the dis trust which has made itself felt not be-
 tween the governments, but, unhappily, often in public opinion."
 pr Wiener radicaD said that the army and the navy must be kept up to the standard, but this ought to be pos sible without an increase in the peace strength. Those who wanted an under standing with England would do well not to say too much about it. Limta- ton of armaments in agreement with other states would not be excluded by the self-evident condition that every state must determine the measure of its own armaments.
 Baron won Camp (imperiaD asked: "Why do we question the need for our arments? Just go to France. Presume bly, the labor party has the deciding voice in England. If it should refuse the naval demand, then we may perhaps come to an understanding. Germany has shown in 40 years of peace that she wants peace. If Great Britain today takes a different view of the naval ques- ton we owe this chiefly to the initiative of Admiral Tirpitz, secretary of state for the navy. The probability of it coming to a fight is as good as removed owing to the respect inspired by our fleet. Like wise a good army is an unconditional necessity for the maintenance of peace '

The Average Man


 The average man ariseth in the morn ing debateth within himself whether he shall take bath or not, and decideth not. He arrayeth himself in dozen diff ferent garments of carving thickness and uncomfortablene and descendeth to the breakfast table, where he hastily devour- eth the headlines of the morning paper and cup of coffee, which he gulpeth down.
 He then draweth from his pocket a cigar, and having the night before firmly resolved never to smoke another before noon he biteth off the end and lighteth it up. He kisseth his wife as he passeth her in the hall and hurryeth. off to the nearest transportation system, where he standeth up and readeth the remainder of the headlines.
 He arriVeth at his office and becometh absorbed in his mail. He worketh until noon, when he goeth out to food dis pensary. Here he meeteth other beings like himself. and they talk between gulps of stock, women horses, horse racing and politics. He smoketh some more and still flee, where he grindeth until nightfall, when he proceedeth home. 7
 He changeth his clothes to funereal black and all the time curseth his luck that his wife hath the power to drag him off to function.
 At the dinner they talk about the serv- ants whispering between the courses), end about the people they will meet, and

Christmas "Homesoers, Abroad

From the Detroit Free Press.
 There is one man over 50 years old
 who has bought a steerage ticket for tho past nine years to go to see his old
 mother in Scotland" said c. Leidich,
 ocean and lake steamship agent. He
 says it is something of d sacrifice for
 him, but he feels that it isn't too much
 to make for his mother and he says
 that the pleasure she gets out of his visit
 more than repays him for the trouble.
 "Of the netionalities represented in
 the Christmas home-goers there are mora
 Scotch than any others. The Scotch peo-
 pie are among the most home-loving and tke Christmas festival Is one of the most
 important and best loved for them. Next to the Scotch. the Scandinavians go out in greatest numbers at this time of year. Films, Swedes and Danes are all anxious to get home for the holidays. Yuletide in 'game Norge, as they call Old Norway is big time, too.
 Germans strange to say do not go as frequently, although the Christmas season Is one of great rejoicing for them. They have, however, to a large extent contrived to create their own Christmas spirit in this new country"
 MT Leidich also estimates that thou
 sands of dollars in money is sent to friends and relatives in the old country from Detroit at Christmas time, for tho people who are too tied down to care to go to Europe are anxious that their dear ones should have some cheering message of love and thought from America.

WIRE
 STOLEN AT ROME
WAS STRUNG TO KEEP KING IN TOUGH WITH GOVERNMENT DUR- ING HUNTING TRIP-HUNT HAD TO BE ABANDONED

Rome. January 7.--(special.)--A strand of telephone wire one-half mile long con meeting the Quirinal and the Perziano castle was stolen a few nights ago, hence the King will not be able to go hunting around the Perziano castle. The police claim that they could not guarantee the Kings safety unless they had telephones at their disposal There are several the ories floating about in connection with the so-called theft. One is that the an- srchists did it. Another has 1t that prac- tical jokers fiddled with the wire for the sake of a sensation. Still another theory is that one of the servants made away with the wire so as to prevent the hunt, which means work for royal servants, who must toll day and night when the King entertains.
 While the theorising has been going on no one has thought of ordering new wire to replace the stolen strand. Half q dozen official reports on the subject have been submitted already.

A Little Spanish Dangerous

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The waning rumpus in Mexico recalls little incident connected with the Cham. her of Commerce excursion to the Diaa republic.
 The special train bearing the party was switched from one station to another ir Mexico City, and chamber officer went to the first station to make inquiries.
 Approaching pair of dark visaged em ployes he cudgeled his memory for tho proper words from the phrase book.
 "Donde esta?' he hesitatingly asket paused. The two dark visaged persons listened attentively. ..Gracias." stammered the Cleveland man. .Donae esta?'
 Then one of the men looked at tho other.
 Say, Bill," he growled, what in merry blue blazes is this fellow talkin' about?' And after that 1t was easy.

then proceedeth to the evenings enter tainment, whatever it may be.
 Some nights the man sneaketh off by himself and playeth poker or bridge with his best friends. He tryeth to get their money away from them and when he suc- ceedeth he rejoiceth.
 At midnight the man retireth, not know ing what he misseth. for he is thoroughly satisfied with himself and his own doings The only thing that he regretteth is that he may have had to pass his time with his wife's silly acquaintances, when he might smoke and drink with his own.

Contrary to the orders of his medical adviser the Pope insisted upon celebrat- ing midnight mass on Christmas. He said he had done so f<. fifty years. ever since he became a priest.

 The papaI order of the Golden Spur, which the Pope has just conferred on the Duke of Norfolk, was originally given on the anniversary of the Pope's election to papal employees. The Duke of Norfolk is the only man in England who holds the order, just as he is the only English holder of the fourteenth century Order of Christ, the oldest of the papal decora- tions. In 1s41 it was associated with the New Order of St. Sylvester. Knights holding both orders have two small gold spurs suspended from the two bottom corners of the Maltese Cross of the Syl- vester order In the early letters of ap- pointments the knights received the high sounding title of Counts Palatine of the Lateran Court" H

Discussing naval limitation in the reich stag recently the imperial chancellor said: "As regards our relations with England and alleged negotiations with that country on the subject of limiting naval armaments, I wish to point out that it is, dare say, well known that the British government have repeatedly ad- vanced the idea that an arrangement stipulating the strength of the navies of the several powers would essentially con- contribute toward consolidating interna- tional relations.

OPEN LETTER TO
 PASTORS ASSOCIATION

To the Editor of the Farmer-Sir. What missionary field? Twenty one thousand in the wild scramble for the hot place and not a single deputy to tender consolation! You are still in the same lot with the Massachusetts Hams to move on or they would hang him. You pour millions of dollars yearly into the Foreign Missionary Fund and for followers get the veriest dregs, the pauper slums and you get these only by feeting their stomachs and when your feed gives out, your religion goes. None of the higher classes were ever known to be con- verted to your faith. The only res- pect the old world has for religion, is the bayonet and magazine rifle you back it with. You entirely cast aside the teachings of St. Paul, who said: He was everything to everybody, that he might convert a few" You are woefully ignorant as to the sophis- try and blandishment of the Mormon and Christian Scientist. You don't know that no law was ever made that was not violated. Thomas A. Edison says, When a man dies, that is the end of him. and Edison's sermon sems to have more influence than the ones you preach. This question I am ask ing the Syndicate. Way don't you put up the entertainment that will draw the crowd? You all have the book learning that modern institutions af- ford and still fail to see that all that is necessary to make an apostacy thrive and flourish, is go at it with club in your hand and the growth will swamp you. Perhaps some of the Syndicate will quote or show where Jesus Christ enforced His Doctrine with a club.

 The day is not many years distant when it will seem unthinkable that a time ever existed when a city of the size of Bridgeport was obliged to resort to a committee of the General Assembly to get permission to carry on its own legitimate business. Every city should have the right to enga ge fa what domestic matters its people desire to engage in, and to contrao and pay it's own bills, subject only to general laws made for the good of the wthofe state.
