asked Judge Yates, who can talk to
little children just as easily as to plain
DRINKS in police court. Don't cry
like that. Come in and get warm"
1t was then that Tommie, aged Z,

things for the Riddles. While he was

Their Christmas had come at last,

gave the two little girls a doll apiece
and the boys a knife. And here is

Little Gracie's eyes widened and

Harvey Parsons, chief of police, who

Tonmie-s frank reply.
Eut in spite of the statement Chief
Parsons telephoned to the station and
had a car sent for the children. All
four of the youngsters were piled in
the back seat and sent home with their
arms full of bundles, mouths full of |
candy. and hearts full of Joy.

BY HENRY WOOD.

Rome, Dec. 30.-Prince William of
WED, former ruler of Albania, has
reorganized Albanian tribes in the re-
gion west of Prizren and has begun
an attack on the Serbs east of Sou
tart. He is cooperating with the Bull
gars, who have launched fresh on
slaughts against the poorly equipped
Serbs in the region of Ell Bassan. The
two armies plan to annihilate the
Serbs in northern Albania and drive
other armies southwark on Valona,
where Italian forces are concentrated.
The news was brought here today
by Harold Spencer, graduate of the
United States naval academy at An
napoliS and former ai6e-de-camp to
PRINCE William. Spencer is now a
lieutenant with an English military
commission in Albania and arrived in
Rome from Scutari.
The Prince of Wied, he said, counts
on clearing Albania of Serb and Ital-
ian troops and reoccupying the throne
with the consent of the central en-
pires
