GATHER ABOUT
MILLIONS TREE

MILTON, Ind, Dec. 27.--The COM
munity Christmas at Milton, was one
of the great events of 1915. Long BE-
fore o'clock crowds we're on the
grounds. The tree was between TWEEN
ty-five and thirty feet high. The
donor of the tree is unknown. When
discovered. Chas. Ferguson, who was
to get the tree, was just arranging to
80 to his farm to get one. The COM
mtttee began their work of decorating
the tree and on Christmas evening 1t
was sltmmering In beautiful tinsel.
At the apex Of the tree was large
star. The tree had been roped in the
square and from the corners Of the
street lines had been formed several
feet above the ground. At the ring
ing OF the church bell the carol sing
ers led by the band came from the
south until they reached the center Of
the attraction where they paused at
tho enclosure and gave the first carol,
"IJark, the Herald Angels Sing" the
leader being Edgar P. Jones, follow
ed by the second number, THE Christ
mas Eve Song" The Rev. M. S.
Taylor then entered the enclosure and
gave the address of welcome. Then
from the north came the sound Of
children's voices giving their Christ
mas chant as they approached the
tree, and marched inside the en-
closure. The Rev. F. c. Mccormick
then gave the prayer, after which
from the east came the music Of the
band, while Santa Claus, escorted by
Uncle Sam, drove in the ring in a
fine sleigh drawn by spirited white
horse. Uncle Sam was impersonated
by Oliver Wallace and Santa Claus by
Prof Thompson. Then after a few
words of greeting Santa Claus pro-
ceeded to his work of giving out tho
presents from the tree. Everyone was
invited, to the vacant room in the
Farmers bank block where the ladies
of the community served hot coffee
and sandwiches. The crowd was es-
timated at between 1900 and 1900
people. DR.. Squier stated that he
counted 412 people in one of the four
sections and the others we're in pro-
portion. The Rev. F. c. Mccormick
said there were at least 1900 people
on the grounds.

FRIENDS ARGUE
PEACE QUESTION
IN Bible CLASS

The question Of peace was the sub
ject Of IN animated discussion Sun
day morning In the suditoriutn OF the
West Richmond Friends church ap-
proximately eighty persons represent
3ng Sunday school classes met joint
~ with the members OF s. Edgar
Nicholson's mems Bible class. Vart-
Gus views OF the topic were express
a.
Among thoe Ia attendance was Vim
cent Nicholson. son Of the editor Of
the American Friend who is q student
In Harvard college law department
and who has given number OF
speeches on the subject OF Peace"
and Prof. Caswell Grave Of John Hop
kins university. At one time the dis
cussion became almost q debate be-
tween the two men.
War Of aggression for conquest or
based on other selfish motives was
unanimously held to be unnecessary
and essentially different from a war
defense. 1t was the prevailing sentt-
ment that war for defense was un-
justifiable with the use Of armed
force
When Mr.. Nicholson raised the
question OF what would have been the
outcome had Belgium, France, Eng
land and Russia had no standing arm
les in the summer OF 1914. it was uni
versally agreed that there would have
been no war. Austria. it was decided
would have made no demands on Ser
bia II she had had no standing army
or at least would have made her de-
mands without threatening the use OF
armed force.
In tho discussion Of the question OF
preparedness It was held that Chtna's
protection against Japan when the
latter recently made her demands ur-
on that country, was her unpreparec-
ness. Japan feared the public opinion
OF the world and 30 did not attack a
defenseless country It was decided.

PEACE ANNIVERSARY
Reunion to Commemorate End
Of the Civil War Fifty Years
Ago.

a call for n great reunion of the Blue
and the Gray to celebrate the iiftieth
anniversary OF the close of the civil
war, is heing issued by committee OF
four which took the initiative in staging
four years ago at Manassas the ami
vorsary celebration of the wars first
battle.
The call of the committee refers 10
tho Manassas celebration and to the
Gettysburg reunion as encouraging a
similar reunion at AppomattoS
Manassas calls on Appomattox for
jubilee of peace, reads the address to
the citizens of AppomattoX, known To-
cally also as Glover Hill
The four signers of the call for
peace jubilee conclude their appeal IS
follows:
was not celebration of the bitterest
defeat recorded in the chronicles OF
war. Nor will jubilee in 1915 on
Clover hill be a celebration of anyone's
triumph or anyone's defeat Neither
will 1t be considered in ages to come.
as a celebration of any event OF the
distant past, but a celebration of the
living present and a glorious future.
Manassas calls to Appomattox. Let
us obey the command of Moses. the
Wisest statesman in the tide of time.
In profound Thanksgiving to Almighty
God Tor his merCie'. let us together
pfoclaim llDerty anu peace, now and
evermore, to a world at war.
