No CHRISTMAS TRUCE.
steerag

Russia, Turkey and France have now refused to
adopt the earnest proposal by Pope Benedict for a
Christmas truce, Germany had signifed her accept
snce conditional. of course, upon the acceptance
of the other belligerent powers, and Austria would
have acquiesced. Turkey, as Moslem state, could
hardly be expected recognize Christian festival
and Russia has her Christmas January Z. Re-
Ngous faith would naturally influence these two
latter powers against the proposition
But Christmas is a festival for France and Eng
land as well as Germany and Austria and ii there
could be no truce in Eastern Europe and in the
Caucasus there might be in France and Belgium
and on the North Sea. 1t is disappointment TO the
Christian world. and especially America that the
kindly proposal of the pontiff should have proved
futile

where River. Arc rerried on Skin boats.


In the north OF China, where the
mountain rivers are often narrow tor
rents. and there are no ferries to be
found, the natives solve the problem
OF crossing the swift streams in
novel manner.
Every house in the district is
equipped with the skin of COW or
a horse. sewed and cemented alright
to make a huge bladder, and. beside
this buoyant raft there always leans
a paddle. When any one ct the family
has business across, the stream he
takes the light bladder, throws it
over his shoulder. picks up the pad
die and goes down to the river Into
the Swallows he wades, places the
bladder under him, sits down on 1t
and paddles away
il seems very simple, but il is
fraught with perils for the novice.
But these Northern Cinnamon are
masters of the art, and paddle across
even the swiftest torrents with a
speed and ease that is truly amazing.
