has not committed. The interpre-
ter, who was in the court, was
not a Slovenian, and from infC--
nation received from various
sources, we gather that the inter
prefer, who was furnished by the
court to act for said Joseph Erja-
vec, does not understand the Slo-
venian language and that he was
talking to said defendant in Rus
sian language. These are two en-
tirely different languages and by
knowing one of these two langua-
ges does not mean that he is Just
as competent in the other Ian
guage. Therefore as the defen-
dant does not understand a word
of English and as the interpreter
in this case was not able to ma
ster the Slovenian language, we
the undersigned maintain that
! the. defendant did not have a fair
trial. Furthermore we the under
signed desire to inform your Ex-
cellency that it is the public OPT
Mon among Slovenians that the
real murderer of Math Petek is
one John Novak who has killed
him with an axe and who escaped
on the eve of the crime. John No
yak has struck the deceased with
out the knowledge of said Jos.
Erjavec.
In view of these facts, which
in all probability are true facts
in this case. and for the sake of
justice to every party concerned,
we the undersigned most earnest
ly petition Your Excellency that
you order a new trial for Joseph
Erjavec.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

BY every American soldier aad sailor
Christmas day is celebrated with feast
ing and sports, though the men may
be thousands and thousands Of miles
away from home. Dinner, consisting
of turkey mince pie and all other deli
cacies, is served. There is also gen.
erous supply of soft drinks. Intoxi-
cants are never permitted in army and
navy circles.
Those who wish to attend church in
the morning are permitted 20 do so.
although this is not compulsory, as in
the British army. 1t is not always
possible for sailors to 20 to the church
around the corner but religious exer-
cises are conducted by the vessels
chaplain. The afternoon is usually
devoted to athletic sports.
1t may be that a concert of amateur
theatricals will enliven the evening or
that the men will receive permission
to give a dance. Those who wear Un-
Gle Sans uniform 90 not lose their
taste for social pleasures and as rule
are capable entertainers.
Even the men of an outpost en-
camped far in the interior of some
Philippine province, attempt to invest
the day with as much of the Christ
mas spirit as possible unless the coun-
try is In an unsettled state and par
tial war conditions prevail.
The British soldier makes the cele-
bration Of Christmas the chief event of
the year, and his only regret is that
the day does not extend over an entire
week.

day of the Redeemer. it blooms with
lights and is laden with gifts of love,
and so we have the Christmas tree.
In the Black forest regions in Ger
many there is tradition that on each
Christmas eve the Saviour comes to
earth in the guise of a poor boy and
asks aims at the house doors. On that
day no beggar is refused food and shell

honor was celebrated an altar of stones
was erected in the house. and fir
branches were piled upon it and set on
fire. Through the dense smoke made
by the green wood the goddess was
supposed to descend and extend her in

carols are very ancient and have been
in many cases transmitted orally

boys, called the Christmas waits" to
go around on Christmas eve and sing
carols.
