jects, and German subjects are again
undergoing the wrongs and brutali-
ties that were rampant in Mexico
before we sent ships and troops to
Vera Cruz to call a halt upon the
atrocities alike of Huertistas, Car
ranzistas and Zapatistas. When we
had fleet and an ARMY within the
doorway of Mexico they had sense
enough, all of them, to keep their
hands off foreign subjects under the
guardianship of the United States.
But with the ships and soldiers
gone, those Mexican chieftains, all of
them, went straight back to their old
pastime of pillaging, abusing, and
perhaps numbering foreign subjects,
whether Americans or others. They
had full respect for the guns of the
army and navy. They had very little
respect, before we went to Vera
Cruz, for the Washington Govern
ment. Now they have none.

CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES.

Christmas without a tree is like
the play of Hamlet" with Hamlet
missing. but better a Christmas with
out tree than house wrecked by a
Christmas tree fire. There is ever
present danger of such fires where
candles are used to light the tree.
The heads of fire departments in all
the great cities have been urging for
years thatgreater caution be taken to
prevent the annual loss from Christ
mas tree fires, and one Of their rec
concentrations has been that no
candles be used. Even where candles
are used, extra care in attaching
them and ordinary precautions for
safety such as keeping young chill
dren away from the tree when light
ed, can prevent a catastrophe. We
must have our Christmas tree, but
at the same time, we must listen to
the fire experts who know the dam
gers of fire from an attractively lit
UP tree.

THE NEW OCCOOUAN.

The announcement by Commits
sioner Newman of the plans for a
new reformatory and the revision
and undermining of the methods
Of housing and handling the District
criminals, is excellent Christmas
news with a true Christmas spirit
characterizing it.
For some months Mr.. Newman,
Mr.. Edison, and Mr.. Wilson have had
this matter under the most careful
study. This week Mr.. Newman and
his associates returned from a study
of Southern penal institutions during
which time they made an especial
study of the Federal prison at At
lanta.
AS a result of this tour and others
which are to be taken, it is expected
that the new institution at Occoauan
will be a model which will include
not only the best in construction and
arrangement, but the most advanced
methods in the treatment and train
ing of prisoners. ... ....

II Is to be hoped that in the late after
noon of Christmas Eve the people OF
Washington many wend their way by
the thousands toward the East Plaza in
the shadow of the great Capitol build

impressed by what they actually see,
and the spirit that will permeate the en-
tire celebration Before them will be Il

from which will CLEAN a thousand white
lights. On the Capitol steps, tier after
tier. will be arranged singers in num-
bers. to reach nearly to the high pillars
above And still higher up, as the even
ing advances. unique tableaux will be
given, descriptive of the hymns sung,
and beautifully significant IN their feel
ing and action.
The support of the Marine Band in the
choral numbers will add additional in
terest TO the occasion. This celebration
OF the Community Christmas tree alike
for rich and poor. does not represent
heart of childhood. Ii shines in its
linpid clearness as a spiritual symbol
II represents the crystalliZation of the
spirit of religion without ritual or

Ironical Fate so arranged its dates
as to make this December "a an &C.
casion for the celebration of peace
And, despite the strife which is
wrecking the Old World, this is
Americas peace day. 1t is the GEN.
tennial anniversary of the Treaty OF
! Client, which closed our second con-
f1ict with Great Britain.
Despite the war in which she is a
belligerent, Great Britain joins
America in celebration of the ami
versary. Canada, too, will do her
part. In all sections of the country
there will be observed the event
which opened an era of good will be-
tween two nations and brought 10O
years of peace.
When the world was calm and
sane months ago and millions OF
men were not graphing in a death
struggle plans were made for an i'm
pressive celebration. Today, with
peace for the world shattered, we
summon up courage to celebrate
our own peace.
