FEW PILGRIMS VISIT HOLY
LAND FOR TODAY'S
RELIGIOUS FEAsTs

Owing to the absence of pilgrims,
today's great festivals will pass al
most 1nobserved in the Holy Land,
and a few priests, trembling for their
lives because of Moslem hatred, will
go through the ceremonies which in
former years attracted thousands of
Christians from the ends of the earth.
For Roman Catholics and Protestants,
today is Epiphany, and this festival
of the baptism of Jesus is customarily
observed by thousands of pilgrims,
who gather on the banks of the Jor-
dan, clad in death shrouds. to COM
memorate the baptism OF Christ by
St John. For the Russians. Bulgar-
ians, Greeks and other adherents OF
the Eastern Church, tonight viii be
Christmas Eve, but there will be no
20 or 40 thousands of pilgrims at
Bethlehem to celebrate the Nativity.
The war in the Near East is RESPONSE
Bile for the absence Of the falthfuI. The
Holy Land of the Christians remains
in the grasp of the Turks, and the
Moslens have no love for giaours at
this time
Last year some fourteen thousand
Russians made the pilgrimage to Jer-
usaIem to celebrate their Christmas,
which falls January Z, new style,
and there were more than as many
more Bulgarians, Armenfans, Monte
negrins, and Greeks. Today, it is like
Iy the hOStelS and mOnaSter1eS built
by the Russians in the Holy Land are
empty of guests. The sacred edifices
and shrines-where Turkish soldiers,
wearing cynical smiles at the fol1ies
of the f'infidels'' were wont to keep
order among the warning Sects of
Christians will have few worshippers
today In the past the Mos1ems have
welcomed the annual invasion, as a
source of profit, and the frequent
fights between different varieties of
Christians have been to them a source
of great amusement. This year Rus
STA has refused to issue passports to
pilgrims to the Holy Land and the
men of the Balkan States have been
TOO busy to think about religious pill
grimageS.
The greatest sufferers from this state
of affairs will be the Jewish merchants
of the Holy Land. The MosIems will
bear their financial loss with equani-
nifty. The Hebrews, accustomed to
profit from both Moslems and Chris
down curses upon both houses. The
Jew is cast for the role of innocent
bystander. Also there will be Iamen-
tation among the hosts of beggars who
infest Jerusalem at this time of year,
reaping a rich harvest from the com
passion of pilgrims. In vain they will
display their crippled limbs, their
sores and ulcers The Montenegrin

taxpayers were just pining to get a
slice of Stratford, and as big a slice
as possible The fact is that the
opposition in the city, for there are
many now living who remember the
annexation of the borough of West
Stratford to the city and the attend
that the borough was expensive
investment for the city and that many
years passed before the city began to
derive any revenue from the terri
tory acquired. 1t is asserted that the
first move toward annexation must
come from this side of Bruce's brook
now doing its work of aecuTnula ting
signatures in the HolI!ster Heights
district. It is said that residents of
that section are signing readily and

expressed in a recent town meeting
that the new Corners. small holders or

they will seek a more congenial asso-

agitation for a change in the town
government is based mainly on the
presumption that the control really

riously advanced the recent arrivals in
the town will not feel themselves well
come and after investing their money
in business here DIT buying their homes
will resent the implication that they
are not as much interested in the
welfare of the town as any OF the old
