Municipal Xmas
Tree Program
Assumes Shape

Slowly but surely the program for
the municipal Christmas tree cele-
bration is being whipped into shape
by the committee which met again
Tuesday noon at the high school to
arrange details Of the musical and
dramatic features.
The afternoon program which is
TO consist Of three tableaux. the
same 10 be repeated in the evening,
and several choral numbers by the
school children is practically com
pleted and its success now depends
largely upon the cooperation of the
parents of the school children in
seeing that all are on hand in time
20 do their part. The Christmas
songs, Joy TO the World" and Holy
Nieht." are TO be rehearsed in each
of the schools and later at a mass
meeting 10 be held at the high
school sometime during the week
preceding the Christmas vacation.
IL is the earnest wish of those plan
ming the Christmas tree festival that
parents will encOUr rage their chill
dren TO take an active interest in
this beautiful civic enterprise so
that il may be made as impressive
as possible by the size and volume
Of the childrens chorus
All the details of the evening pro-
gram, particularly with reference to
the musical features, are not set
tied. II is probable, however that
they viii be ready for announce
ment after another meeting Of the
committee next Tuesday when the
directors of many of the choirs of
the city will be asked to be present
and 10 assist in the definite arrange
ment Of the program.

Of South Bend barristers Of both

so-called aspirant for the office who
could make a favorable showing in

are being pushed forward, person

had experience running for the
office.

Objective Point Of the

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Unofficial re-
ports from Greek sources represent
the situation in southern Serbia as
somewhat more favorable to the en-
tente allies. A dispatch from Athens
not confirmed, states the Bulgarians
have Withdrawn from Uskup. Advices
from Saloinka tell OF a fierce battle
along the Veles:Eomanovo front with
Bulgarians retreating. Hope is being
revived In London that the sSerblans
will be able TO reform lines along the
Monastri front.
The Germans having effected juno
lion with the Bulgarian allies, It is
possible that the campaign will be
shifted from an effort to relieve Ser.
bia to an attempt to cut communica
tion with Constantinople. In this con
nection several military critics hazard
the guess that the entente Sllies are
not likely to withdraw from Salonika
no matter what happens to Serbia.
Riga and Dvinsk remain chief Ger
man objectiyes on the east front. The
direction OF the German assault
