leave Mexico City they will leave the
country entirely.
The situation has been further COM
plicated by the decree of General Car
rama that none of his subordinate
military chiefs shall discuss diplo-
matte questions.
This deprives the diplomatic corps
at Mexico City of the privilege of deal
ing with General Obregon or the de

The only alternative held out to
them for discussing diplomatic mat

a visit to Vera Cruz, which they are

MoTHERLAND OR FATHERLAND

II Is temperamental difference
that makes Germans talk Of the Fa
therland, whereas the English talk
OF the Motherland? Is 1t that the
Germans think more of their fathers
and the English more OF their moth
ers? Or Is 1t because England Is
great co!onizing Power and the word
"motherland," the English OF the
Greek metropolis" has come to
common use from the need for eI-
pressing the relation of the parent
nation TO the dominions overseas'
Both "fatherland" and "motherland"
are fairly old in the English language.
A citation dated 1928 gives the phrase
my countryman and one OF my faith
erland." This Is an apparently quite
natural use of the word In the Ger
man sense OF native country" On
the other hand fifty years later we
find 1t recorded that "the Dutch in
stead of our country, say our father
land"
This looks as If "fatherland" at the
End of the seventeenth century was
felt to be a foreign word. When
used of England by eighteenth cen.
Jury writer's the word was usually
hyphened father land" another
sign that 1t was not word in com
mon use. The modern use of 1t Ia
certainly borrowed from the German.
'Motherland" in its earlier appear
ances in English seems always to
have had an application rather diff
fe9ent from its modern one. People
spoke OF Egypt as the "motherland OF
superstition" or again as "the moth
erland of all the arts" But they did
not speak OF England as the mother
land In the sense OF native country
or parent country. The first citation
n that sense Is from Carlyle in 1928
n passage in which he speaks Of
our own stern motherland. Today
''motherland" seems to be definitely
established as our word, while Faith.

RUSSIANS ARE CELEBRATING
CHRISTMAS TODAY

Petrograd, Jan. Russia today
IL celebrating Christmas. Wars
shadow has failed to darken the GUS
tomary Christmas spirit, which is
more variously and intensely mani
tested in the Russian capital than
elsewhere in the world.
The Christmas celebration Is any
thing but brief ceremony. Official
ly lasting three days, 1t Is often pro-
longed by festivities we'll beyond New
Years, during which time business
Is suspended and the stores are clos
ed, while the country is given up to
one festive season which breaks the
long period Of winter.
AS in other places in Europe, the
war has interfered to some extent
with the Christmas customs In Rus.
sia, such as feasting and drinking.
which suffer from the rigid enforce
ment OF the prohibition laws and the
'ifiioulty in importing fruits and
Christmas dainties. Oranges and
apples were selling on the Russian
Christmas eve At 25 cents zach.
But II some homes are empty OF
the material accessories to the Christ
mas tide the spiritual and religious
side of the Christmas life has bean
given an unusual impetus by the Rus
sian military successes in the eau
casus and the higher community OF
interests Of nation at war.
On the streets the holiday season
manifested itself in the sharp wine
which sent the mercury 4 below
zero; the children gathered around
blazing street fires, singing Christ
mas carols, and the busting parcel
laden crowds exchanged greetings.
ALI day the streets were lined Nth
people on the way to the principal
cathedrals for observance Of the re-
ligious rites-one traditional feature
OF the Russian Christmas with which
the war has not interfered.

ception for the wounded soldiers.
