ONE HOLIDAY INCIDENT
IN WHICH CAT FIGURES
Employees of Stars Pressroom Deco
rate Christmas Tree for
Pet Maltese.

Those intent and interested spec
tators who make 1t point to halt
their way in the busy city streets long
enough to form part of the ever-shift-
ing crowd which usually gathers in
the afternoons in front of the plate
glass windows of The Stars pressroom,
on the 18th street side of the building,
missed an odd little holiday incident
yesterday.
There was a Christmas tree there for
them to see. and beside it hung, en-
blaZoned in colorS, the legend: A
Merry Christmas to YOU
Evidence of Christmas Spirit.
A curious place for Christmas tree,
you say: The toilers within did not
think so, as, with ink-grimed fingers
their labor that aids in producing The
Star-they set the little tree up on
the middle printing press, the mar
velous piece of machinery that mas
been watched by so many thousands,
to show to the passing world that

rush of newspaper-making, down town
in business Washington, where few
other people were laboring yesterday,
spirit.
For it was for nothing more impor-
tant than a cat that the tree was set
in it's high place-a homeless Maltese
cat, yclept 'Ninnie," taken under the
protection of William W. Fenton, fore
man of The Stars pressroom, and his
colaborers. Also gathered from the
sidewalk. as homeless as the cat, the
tree was a derelict, a waif, stray.
perhaps from some far-off forest that
had whispered in dreams to the little
pine, if forests do whisper, that the
stunted tree might repose Christmas
day in some splendid abode, among
silken-clad children.
Decorations of Regulation Pattern.
For the fact that there were no pas
sersby, no children, in the city street,
to see the fun their pet cat had, the
Christmas dinner they fed her. the
pressmen cared not jot. They fash
ioned stars from colored Sunday sup
plements, red-paper whirligigs from
such fiotsam and jetsam as a pressroom
can furnish and other fancy adorn-
ments. So 1t was that they made shift
to decorate" the tree. But the most
important adornment was found to be
too big to go on the tree. So the toll
ers set it up. legend in colors, at the
side of the trees. on the big printing
press, to greet the passerSby. 1t read:

A large mobilization Of Russian
troops near the Austrian border. an
nounced on Wednesday, led to our ex-
pressed opinion that the act was sig
nifcant Of the cars rejection Of
Austrian guarantees to secure his neu-
trality, but, 50 long as Germany failed
to accept this challenge Of her Aus
trian ally as challenge to herself,
and 10 make an equal mobilization
along her Russian frontier, the hope
OF peace remained. We vertured
no guess Of how long such faint
hope might last. Addressing the
House OF Commons at London yester-
day, Sir E11ard Grey, secretary for
foreign affairs, said: Russia has
ordered a partial mobilization of her
troops. This has not yet led to cor
responding steps being taken by the
other powers, so far ar our information
goes" But at about the time these
words were being spoken ia London,
an official order was being made in
Berlin, directed to the reserve officers
OF the Guards Army Corps, ordering
mobilization. This order followed
preliminary instructions already sent 10
all officers and soldiers OF the reserves,
to hold themselves in rerdiness for
joining the colofs, and orders to the
officers Of the regular army TO prepare
for the mobilization Of their units.
It is evident that press censorship |

the bucket Of dishonesty the
bucket is without lid. And yet the
New Haven was plundered Of 800,

When governments wink at high

has allowed these financial crooks to
steal and plunder under its very nose.
They sreal millions and are immune
from punishment, while the poor man
who sneaked a sack Of flour spends
his days rotting in Jail,
There may be no law under which
these pirates may be punished, but
congress has the power to make such
laws. But if congress sits tight, looks
wise, talks eloquently and does moth
ing, then congress by its supinenesS

some things we know for ourselves.
We can understand that the German |
orders already issued, although not
commanding the massing Of troops at
any point, are eqnal, in their poten'
tialities, 10 the Russian order for
massing, because Of the more numer'
GUS and more rapid facilities Of trans
portation on the German side Of the
Russo German line, and Germany's
more highly organized methods Of
swift military action. The German
orders are, undoubtedly, direct
answer to the menacing Of Austria
which Russia has made. The order
to concentrate on the border could
not make this fact more clear than it
is. The reserves in Germany, now 10
be in line for mobilization, constitute
80 per cent Of the fighting strength
Of the empire. The strength Of the
standing army is $4,000 men and
and that Of the reservs Omen who have
seen service and are within the
military age) 4.43O,O0O. Whether
the entire strength Of the reserves is
to be effected, is not told in the con.
densed form Of the order which has
passed the censor. What we gather
from the printed order is that yester-
days hope Of peace was not as large
as that Of the day before. Today
may make it smaller,
So long, however, as every hour Of
the day and night brings sustained
and strenuous effort toward peace,
hope need not be abandoned. While
it is almost a surety that Austria is
massing men opposite the Russians
along her border, and that any mo-
ment may bring them into collision,
and while the kaiser has, in these or
ders, without waiting for his own
Russian frontier 10 be threatened,
made palmer his resolve to strike il
Austria is attacked, one hope remains.
Premier Asquith, speaking in the
British Parliament Yesterday, announc-
ed that the gravity Of the situation is
such, and so nearly threatens the
peace Of Great Britain, that the gov.
eminent had resolved, with the con.
sent Of all parties 10 suspend further
consideration OF the Irish home-rule
measure, as to which there is such
bitterness as might imperil the unity
OF the empire against foreign foe.
The declaration will be interpreted as
plainly one Of the Triple Entente
against The Triple Alliance. But it is
remotely possible that it may have an
other meaning, or, al least, that it
may result in such British pressure
upon both Russia and France for peace
as may force compromises. This is
the only hope left since the official
announcement at Berlin, late ycs,er-
day, that Germany has demanded
explanation from Russia,
and from France as Russia's ally.

Mr.. McAdoo, before he left, de-
clared he considered the country in

and there was not the slightest rea.

cussed the situation at luncheon with
Secretary McAdoo, and is confident

Before Mr.. McAdoo left Washington

banks. This currency can be issued
