Gov. Simeon f. Baldwin of Con-
necticut, defeated for the United
States senate at the recent election,
is seventy-five years old, but great
walker. He believes in walking. He
was in Washington while the Ameri-
can Bar association was in session,
and he and ex-President Taft, among
others, were named to go to the White
House and escort President Wilson 10

1ngton in an automobile and the gov

president.

IN TH[lllrIgELIGHT
BRITAIN'S WAR CENSOR

Sir Stanley Owen Buckmaster, X.
c., M. p, who is censor of war news
for the British government, is prac-
tically unknown t. this country, and
is not yet very familiar figure to the
public in England But he has a
great reputation in the courts, where
he has been leader in ehancery for
many years. Whereas Mr.. Smith at
forty-two would be called young by
all men, Sir Stanley Buckmaster, who
is fifty-three, would only be called
young by some men. His great gift
is lucid exposition and directness in
thought and speech. He can clothe
the dry bones of chancery law with
such interest and fascination that it
is a recreation for a layman to hear
him argue. A case the presenting of
which by the average lawyer would
be painful punishment to hear, when
argued by Sir Stanley becomes al
most romantic

small trees are sent to the homes,
with glass balls, trimmings and candy
toys, and the donors, with the aid of
their chauffeurs and the parents of
the children, fix the tree while the lit

Though little known, Santa Claus
work in the slums of the big cities
is carried on along systematic lines
to overcome any overlapping of the
multitude of good intentions. In days
gone by, charitably inclined women
would leave large basket of pro-
visions in house in ignorance of
another basket hidden in the closet.
And it was not unusual for two or
three workers to meet in the same
kitchen at the one time, each bur-
dened with good things for the one
family.
This is an error of the past; for
now the Christmas giving has been
systematized. Settlement workers of
the various societies and representa-
tives of the wealthy private givers
compile list of those they will as
sist, and all go over their lists care
fully together.

all cut and dried few days before

true that those who are visited and
quizzed by the private workers have
shrewd suspicion, after they have
told their tale of woe and received
the sympathy of the visitor that
something substantial is to follow
The regular settlement workers know
their ground pretty well; they know
which families have had a hard road

The poor are always with us" is
doubly true at Christmas time. Fam
lilies who can barely exist, who do
not know where the next days bread
is coming from, can certainly not az
ford any extras for the holiday sea-

bread and a small piece of meat for
the Christmas dinner and coal for the
kitchen fire.
No one appreciates this seamy side
of the bright Christmas story more
than the charity worker. She knows
that tribulations exist ut Christmas
time as during any other part of the
year. Years of experience have shown
her how to use tact and good judg-
ment on her travels and where she
cannot leave good cheer, she can
at least make the sorrows and
troubles easier to bear. The AN
gel of the Settlement knows,
more than any one else, that there
are many cases when the word
Merry Christmas would sound like
mockery; where the hand OF death
for instance, has been heavily felt
when it takes away the chief provid-

spirit is cherished by the poor as well

GARBAGE CONTRACT
 NOT INVALIDATED
COUNCIL WILL PERMIT SANITARY COMPANY TO BURY GARBAGE
 TEMPORARILY.
Incinerating Plant Is Demanded, How ever, by the Board of Health, and Steps Will Be Taken at Once.

The contract the city has with the Hot Springs Sanitary Company for the removal of garbage from the city was not invalidated last night by the city council, though an ordinance to this effect had two readings, and there had been prepared to follow it anoth' CT ordinance providing for the letting of bids for new contract.
 The ordinance invaldating the gar bage contract on a test vote required seven favoring it to have it passed Those who voted for the ordinance were Ellis, Peden, Rigsbee, Shepherd and Burgaurer. Those who voted against invalidating the contract were Williamson, Petit and Gunther.
 Alderman Ellis made motion to re consider the vote by which the ordi- nance failed to pass, which means that later. unless satisfactory arrange ments are made, the ordinance will be called up again and passed.
 It was shown that MT Houpt had made a proposal to have the city gar bage buried, in accord with the state laws, on his property east of the city, if the city would permit Mir. Murray to have 1t hauled there, this plan to serve temporarily until an incinerating plant can be secured for the proper disposal of the city refuse
 Dr Wootten of the board of health made it plain to the council that the board would not tolerate any de,ay, and that unless the city immediately took steps towards securing an incin- erating plant and not a reduction plant the board of health would shift the responsibility of the health of the city back to the city council.

BISHOP ATKINS IS
 A STRONG SPEAKER
HIS ADDRESS ON SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK LISTENED TO BY A
 LARGE AUDIENCE.
lncemency of the Weather lnterferes in Way with the First Day of the Sunday School Convention.

Bishop James Atkins of Waynes- ville, N C., one of the foremost bish- ops of southern Methodism, was the principal speaker at the first days session of the Sunday school super intendents and field secretaries of this denomination in convention here now
 He proved a most able speaker and the audience was spellbound with the magic of his oratory and the sheer. ity of his words The work already accomplished by the Sunday schools and the broad field to be worked yet were dwelled on at length by the speaker.
 Bishop Atkins paid a high tribute to the activity of the Sunday school workers, comparing the progress of the Sunday school work with like progress of recent years in commer- cial and industrial lines He declared that the greatest need now was a more compact working organization and a foundation for future progress in the training of the children and young peopIe to fit them for work in the Sunday school and church organ izations; that the present organiza' ton was preparing for better and greater things and' that the coming generations should be trained and fit ted to carry out the plans now being generally laid for extending the scope of the work, in both Sunday school and church.

Why We Rejoice.

In spite of the pessimists and calamity howlers, whose voices are being drowned out in the universal paean of prosperity that the American people are singing, there is spirit of uni versal, red-blooded courage and invincible determination abroad in the land that is most gratify- ing. It is a hopeful sign, and, what is better, it has a firm foundation as a basis and an in- vincible reason for it's existence. This nation is accomplishing marvels, as arithmetic figures prove. These figures are almost incredible. The ordinary mind cannot grasp them.
 The total wealth of the United States is $130,OO0,000,00O. The wealth ofEngland is 80,000, ,0O0,- 900; France, $65, 5,O00,0O0, ,OOO; Germany, $60,5o0, 100000. The amount of money in the United States is $4,500,000,000 1; United Kingdom, $1, ,000, 100000 Germany, $1,500,000,0O0.
 The railroad mileage in this country is 246,573. In Great Britian they have 23,417 miles ; in France, 31,391,. and in Ger many, 38,747.
 These figures will give one a real view of the possibilities, the probabilities, the resources of this country, as compared with other countries. These fig lures donate the facts that the bigger men found their opinions on.
 As to the production of wealth when compared with other coun- tries, America is the home of op- portunity. During 1913 our agricultural products alone a. mounted to $9,000,000,0O0 and over. Twenty per cent of this amount was fed to animals on the farms, and the balance, 80 per cent, was sold.
 In minerals alone we produced $1,91S,326,253.
 Our international trade, which is of great importance at the moment, closed the fiscal
 with $635, 100000 in our favor.
 As people, we are better sup piled with the necessities of life, with work, with opportunities, than any other country on the

Villa To Attack Mexico City.

l Chihuahua, Mex, Jan. 16.- General Villa will lead 25,O0C rebel soldiers-the largest unit ed revolutionary force ever as sembled in Mexico - against the City of Mexico, the capital l of President Huerta, within the near future, according to his announcement here today. Just how soon the advance is to come will depend greatly upon the success of his plans as formed here today for joining the forces of Gen. Carranza at Guadala- "a. According to Villas plans, he will lead the 5000 men he commands here to that place, where they will be joined by Carranza's force of 10000 men, and the attack or advance upon Mexico City will then be begun.
 Gen. Villa brought here, as a result of his victory at Ojinaga, 5000 rifles, twelve cannon and seven rapid-fre guns captured from federals. His force are di- vided as follows:
 City of Chihuahua, 5000; Santa Rosalia, 2,OOO; Jiminez, 2,000. These, with the forces at Parral and the men under Gen. Urbina, south of Escalon, will be in the march on Mexico City with the exception of those necessary to police the country to the north.
 The federals have burned all the bridges between Bermojillo and Torreon, and have retired to the latter place after having been defeated at Mapimi.
 SALAZAR ARRESTED.
 Gen. Ynez Salazar, command CT of Mexican federal volunteers at Ojinaga, was arrested at San derson, Texas, today. The ar. rest aroused much interest in of. ficial circles.
