WHERE THE CHRISTMAS
TREE CAME FROM

This custom, so far as Christianity
Is concerned, is German in its orr
gin, and is identified with the labors
of st. Maternus, one of the earliest
if not the very first, of the preach
ers of the gospel among the Teutons.
Just how that people became lat
ter day sponsors for the Christmas
tree is doubtful though it is possible
that it Is traceable to the Saturnalio
and may have been imported into
Germany by some of the conquering
legions. The Germans have a legend
of st. Maternus sleeping beneath
fir tree, and of a miracle that occur
red upon that occasion.
There Is another theory that the
notion of this tree came from Egypt.
The palm tree Is supposed to put
forth a shoot every month, and a
spray Of this tree, with twelve shoats
on it, was used in Egypt at their
winter solstice celebration as being
symbolical OF the ended year. The
Germans attribute the actual insti-
tutions OF the fir tree as part of the
Christmas celebration to Martin Luz
Their, but there is no reliable infor-
nation on this subject. The Dutch
especially in New Amsterdam, were
responsible for the vogue which the
tree gained in America. 1t is now
In England 1t was entirely unknown
until the marriage of Queen Victoria
10 Prince Albert, who introduced IN
to his adopted country the custom
known in every German household.

A BALKAN LEAGUE

If from all the complications of the
situation either one of two develop
ments come, either European inter
vention, or the formation of Bal.
kan league in which Turkey shall be
a partner, those who read and note
the tendencies of events in Balkan
lands will not be overcome with sud
den wonder. An open quarrel among
the allies would be more than suf-
ticient pretence for a new concert
of Europe, II the powers can agree
as to what they want. Failing such
agreement what would there be as.
tonishing or unprecedented in the
appearance of a Balkan league in.
GLIDING Turkey? Time and again his
tory records the inclusion of the de-
feated nation in the combinations OF
victors Its resources are subject to
the call Of those who have conquered
1t in war and are potent aids to their
diplomacy. France played precisely
that part between 1915 and the revo-
luton of 1880. 1t pulled the Spanish
chesnuts out of the fire for the Holy
Alliance. 1t was the unwilling but
still effective agent OF that combin-
alton of absolutism, which fortunate
ly fell with the Bourbons. Turkey is
not in power to be likened for a mo-
ment to France OF lS15-1S3O, but ev-
en- impaired and abridged as 1t is
Turkey would be Of great use to a
Balkan league, whether the latter
comprehended Greece or not. Such
a league with Roumania friendly
would be an alomst Insurmountable
barrier to the diplomatic schemers OF
Vienna or St. Petersburg or both
1t might remove the Balkan question
from the list OF those practical fol
