over MILITARY PLANS
Parliament Asked to Vote Lump Sum
for War Purposes to Keep Germans
from Getting Hint of Army Secrets.

London. Feb. S.-Under Secretary of
State for War Tennant introduced the
revised army estimates in the House OF
Commons this afternoon. In addressing
the house. he said:
The circumstances prevent me from
going into the question Of the number OF
men we are putting in the field and their
distribution. These are two points upon
which the enemy would rather have in
formation than any others. Recruiting
in England has been very satisfactory.
and, although little more energy In
some quarters would not be out of place.
there is no cause for discomfort. | don't
believe a single man in the house is de-
spondent, and ] am sure that all are de-
termined that the war shall end i'm one
way-dictation Of peace by the allies"
The war office virtually asked the gov
ernment to give II a blank contract, so
II could expend any amount deemed
necessary for Lord Kitchener, the secre-
tary of state for war.
This was the first time in two centuries
that such a condition has arisen.

The next morning. in that delicious
state between waking and sleeping,
when ones fancy runs riot, cats upon
cats came trooping into my delicious
day dream. Cats with houses on their
barks and pantries on their tails. The
room seemed to swim with them,

that I was being called. II hurried
below to find that the head of the
household, with true New England
thrift, had been busying herself with
her lares and penates, which means,
my dear little friends, her home duties,
and so had discovered the long-suffer-
ing cat.
In vain / looked for the cause OF

For answer came the well-rememher-

Right through the air from high hill

on the chimney and slid down. May
thought, "Oh, how l should love to

jumped up on the top of the chimney
and slid down, too.
When Santa Claus saw her. he said,
ooh, dear! I can go back up the
chimney because / am. Santa Claus,
but you can't. don't know what
am going to do with you now"
But May wasn't thinking about
how she was going to get back. She
was looking at the tree that Santa
Claus had already trimmed. She said,

up in the meetin' house sfeeple was a
ghostiel
It was sure-enough ghostie,
shadowy-like, an settin' on pedestal,
an shown right plain on the belfry
blin'. It was all white, like as If it
was done up, an wrapped round in
a gyarment; an all the black folks
was out lookin' at it, an maxim
