RUSSIAN SOLDIERS
 ON THE MARCH ARE
 JJNMARSHALLED BAND

CCorrespondence of Associated Press.9
 London, Dec 21.-A letter from Warsaw says that in marching Rus sian soldiers present an odd picture.
 sSThe Russian regiments on the march are the most informal organi- cations in the world,'' it says, ahead ride a few officers, and then.a in no. particular formation, come the troops, some on one side of the road and some on the other. Toward the rear they struggle off in dwindling streams wandering about the fields and plod-, ding here and there, just as though each was off on an individual tour.
 'sFor miles after a regiment has passed a4one sees little groups trudg- ing alone. apparently perfectly con tented and without a worry in the world. Yet at night they all appear for rations, and in the morning start off again in a, solid formation.
 sfI am told that this method of marching has proved a great puzzle to the German airmen in trying to es- innate the numbers of troops that. are moving. When the columns are so strung out, it is almost impossible from any height to tell whether what one sees is a battalion in close forma.- ton or company strung out. Most armies march in solid masses which can be seen and estimated accurately from a great distance.
 sHThe more one sees of the individ- ual of the Russian army the more one comes to like the common soldier here He is the most good-natured, child-hke, playful person in the world, and in the month have been with the army I have not seen any disorder. On the road and in the camp, all seem contented and happy as long as the weather is fine. It must be admitted they look a little dismal in the rain''

GERMANS SAFE IN CANADA.

Ottawa, Dec. 21@The attitude of the Canadian Government toward German and Austrian residents who have become naturalized Canadians is set forth in an official statement just made public It is as follows:
 We have in Canada many citizens who are natives of one or the other of the countries with which we un- fortunately are at war. They have come to Canada intending to make it their home, and when war broke out they were engaged in their ordinary advocations. While so engaged, and so long as they do not attempt to aid the enemy, they are entitled to the protection of the law.
 'sThe conduct of these citizens, with very few exceptions, has been exem- p1ary, and we hope it will be realized that having invited them to become citizens of this country we owe to them in the trying circumstances in which they are placed the duty of fair ness and consideration. We believe that they and their descendants will become good citizens of this country and cooperate with us in upbuiIding and developing it.

THE MOST POPULAR OF DAYS.

Most of the public holidays have lost their character. July 4, oroginal- fly a day of inspiring patriotic utter ance, has becorhe a frolic of noise and mischief. Thanksgiving originally a day of prayer, is now a, competition in cooking, eating, and drinking, But Christmas still remains an affair Of wholesome merriment and religious sentiment.
 It is the perennial appeal to the child heart. If the Sunday school classes rig themselves out in white dresses and colored saSheS, and recite simple verses of Scripture, the par ents will come out by the throng. The most eloquent address by the most learned divine would not draw ejual- ly we'll.
 The sparkling eyes of the little group around the tree, their rapture when the dolls and mechanical toys are distributed, count more than the most costly present you could make to the grown-ups.
 There is a grea and growing inter est in the Christmas music, if it is well done. If a choir consists of young people who simply gather to meet each other. and practise their carols perfunctorily, they will never draw a crowd. If it is a. working choir, willing to sing an anthem over and over again until it goes with a will, that choir has it's reputation, and will never lack for listeners when it celebrates a church festival.
 Christmas has it's deeper and more spiritual aspects which should appeal to all .who live for something more than the grind and the sport of life. But even for the thought1ess, the rythm and melody of the carols, the verna1 suggestion of the decorations, the merriment in the homes, form a. combination of sentiment and sparkle that makes the day the most popular of the rhoitdays. ..r.s =,

CERMAS HAPPY
 ON PRISON SHIP

South End, Eng, Dec 1z-(Corres- 1tondence of the Associated Press)- German prisoners who were interned at the race track at Newbury, concern ing which so many complaints were made in German papers, have been moved to other places, many of them being on English prison ships now
 docked here in command of Col. De-
 Cordes, a retired officer who had long experience inS charge of prison camps in the South African war.
 German prisoners are delighted with the transfer to the roomy passenger ships where they can keep warm and ditions under which they lived in can vas and stables at the Newbury race course.
 The prisoners on the ships eat from china and live much as passengers would on an ordinary sea voyage ex-
 cept their belongings are carefully searched and military discipline is en- forced. At oueen's Ferry, in Wales, an un- used iron works has been taken over for the use of prisoners and several
 hundred men are quartered in the building.
 The establishment over1ooks the sea
 and is surrounded by several acres of land enclosed in high board fence
 on three sides. The prisoners have a
 large ground for football, baseball and
 other sports.
 Lack of employment is the grea.
 problem in all the prison camps. Bad
 weather makes sports impossible and the men are unable to amuse them
 selves satisfactorily in their cramped
 quarters. In many of the camps
 they have learned to knit and busy
 themselves making socks and neck scarfS.

BIG CHANGE PREDICTED
Rumored Developments in Public Ser.
vice Companies in This Section.

1t is rumOred that there is to be a
very considerable change coming in
both the ownership and management
of the Washington-Oregon Corpora
tion. says the Centralia Star.
The first proof that this is due
soon is the announcement of the res
ignation of Fl. c. Coirman, who for
the past two years has been district
manager for the Washington-Orego
with headquarters in Chehalis. Mr..
CofFman's resignation took effect on
May and Otto Frank is acting man
aGer OF the corporation.
In this connection comes the report
that w. B. FoshaS, who was Coff-
mans predecessor with headquarters
in Contralia, has resigned his position
with the Northwestern Electric COM
pany of Portland and is slated to take
a hand In some organization headed
by Abe Welsh, formerly president OF
the Washington-Oregon. Those in a
position to know something about the
reason for these shifts predict that
Welsh is again in control of the Wash
ington-Oregon and that Foshay will
be his right hand man.
Mr.. Foshay is president of the
Washington Public Service company,
the local concern which became in
volved In financial difficulties this
winter, and has been negotiating with
Mr.. Welsh for some time for the pur-
chase of the property.

ENDORSES FIRST AID
Though Chairman Daggett Calls I,
"Atedical Attendance

Provision should be made, under
the workmen's compensation law, for
some form of medical attendance,
Chairman Floyd L. Daggett OF the
industrial insurance commission
states in d report to Governor Ernest
Lister. Medical attendance is popu-
larry known as "frst aid" though this
term is inaccurate, Mr.. Dagget says.
The report to the governor dealt
principally with a national confer
ence of commissioners from ali states
having compensation laws, from
which Mr.. Daggett has Just returned.
Comparison OF the various laws at
this conference showed that the
Washington law is being operated at
. lower comparative expense than has
been attained by any other state.
At the same time, only one other
state besides Washington makes I,ro-

nently disabled employees and depend

WORK ACTIVELY FOR
BIGGER STATE FAIR
PREMIUMS ALREADY DONATED
REACH 90, OOO--EXPECTED
TO GO TO $4,000.

Is The most active work ever done at
this time or the year toward the
state fair at North Yakima is now in
progress by the newly appointed
business mems committee Of that
city and the state department Of ag-
riculture.
Practically every firm which Of
fered prizes last year has already sig
nified It's intention Of duplicating the
offer for the 1914 fair and in many
cases the prize money has been doub-
led. Up to the present time. the list
OF premiums donated to the fair has
reached total slightly In excess Of
50, 900, and it is the hope of those
who have it in charge that the fund
will be swelled to $4,000.
1t is the intention Of DR.. H. T.
Graves, acting commissioner Of agri-
culture. and j. E. Shannon, secretary
of the fair. that the fair shall be self
supporting this year. Many Of the
leading nurserymen or the state nave
offered premiums calculated to bring
out an unusually large exhibition in
the horticultural line. This depart
ment will be larger than ever before.
That county exhibits will be even
larger than last year is indicated by
the number of inquiries as to wheth-
er the bonus of last year which COW
cred transportation expenses would
be held out this year. The fair man
ayers are in hopes that this may be
offered, but as yet no guarantee is
made. The railroads have offered
their same special transportation
rates as last year.

MOUNT RAINIER 6llglERs


That the glaciers In Mount Rainier
national park are equal to the cele-
brated glaciers Of the Alps IL brought
out In striking manner BY n. ~.
Matthes IN pamphlet entitled
Mount Rainier and Its Glaciers n
just issued by direction Of Secretary
Lane. SA'
"The impression still prevails in
many quarters" says Mr.. Matthess
that true glaciers. such as are found
in the Swiss Alps. do not exist within
the confines of the United States and
that to behold one OF these rare seem
lie features one must 60 to Switzer-I
land or else to the less accessible Ca
4 adian Rockies or the inhospitable AL
askan coast. As a matter Of fact,
permanent bodies Of snow and ice.
large enough to deserve the name OF
glaciers, occur on many Of our Wes-
tern mountain chains. in the Sierra
Nevada OF California, and farther
north, in the Cascade range.
Easily king Of all Is Mount Rain
Ter. More than 1900 feet high, 1t is
impressive, both by
the vastness of its glacial mantle and
by the striking sculpture of its cliffs.
The total extent OF Its glaciers
amounts to no less than 45 square
miles, an expanse far exceeding that
of any other single peak in the United
States. Many Of Its individual Ice
streams are between 4 and 8 miles
long and vie in magnitude and in
splendor with the most boasted gla-
ciers of the Alps. Cascading from the
summit in all directions. they radiate
like the arms of great starfish. All
reach down to the foot Of the noun
tain and some even advance consid-
erably beyond"
