thing to remember.
Useful presents should be accepted

Keep the Christmas spirit green.
When you get useful present, do not
take 1t back and exchange it for some

Keep 1t; hang on to it. Do not give
1t away to the poor, for they have
troubles enough of their own.
One Of the most useful useful gifts
for some peoples a smoking
jacket. Once we gave our old Uncle
Peters one of those costly nicotine
REFERS. 1t had blue satin cuffs and a
braided collar. The coat was held to-
gether not by buttons but by gold
braid knots. The garment made a hit
with Uncle Peters, but not the knots.
For years his smoking jacket had
been a flannel undershirt, gracefully
decorated with suspenders. Every eve
ming he sat by the stove, smoking a
pipe which would have suffocated a
steamship stoker. He never told us
what he burned in the pipe, and we

this that had prompted Millicent to

NN@HB late Shopper is a prom.

N0AM He has his own peculiar
way of celebrating Christ
mas. Often he celebrates it in bed,
with water bag on his chest and the
grip Of an anxious physician around
his wrist. His eyes are closed and
his poor, warped brain is worn in a
sling.
On the floor beside his bed, torn to
shreds and bitten in numerous places,
lies his Christmas list. The day be-
fore Christmas he sailed forth with
this list in his hand and look of
desperate determination on his fea-
lures.
The Late Shopper is cheerful Civ
er, withal. He loves giving for its
own sake, but he loves it better for
the sake of putting it of. Decidedly
he is no believer in the 'Do-it-now"
movement. Nor is ne selfish. 1t is

MORE BODIES RECOVERED
Seventeen Lusitanla Victims Picked
Up on Irish Coast.

Queenstown, May 13.-The bodies
of nine men and eight women who
perished when the Lusitania sank,
comprising those brought ashore at
Baltimore and other Irish coast
points, arrived here aboard a tug.
The only body of first class passen-
ger which was identified was that of
Percy Secombe of Peterborough,
Ont, son of the late Captain G. w.
Secombe of the Cunard line. His
sister, Miss Elizabeth Secombe, still
is missing.
Slow progress is being made In the
work OF identification, as few rela-
tives of passengers are now here and
the authorities are relying only upon
papers and trinkets found on the
bodies.
The names Z. ]. Harrison and A. p.
Norris were found on papers In the
pockets of two men, while that OF X.
Hickman was found on the body OF
one woman. Three of the dead were
members of the Lusitania's crew

WAR OR PEACE UP TO
The KING OF ITALY

Rome. May 13.-Final decision as
to whether Italy shall declare war or
remain neutral rests with King Victor
Emmanuel. The Italian constitution
gives the sovereign alone authority
to declare war, make peace and con-
clude treaties"
There is a diversity of opinion in
the capital, however, as to whether
action by his majesty should be pure
ly formal, or simply in accordance
with the decision reached by his min
listers. Those who favor making his
constitutional prerogative more than
matter of form are urging that as
soon as Austria makes its final de-
cision regarding territorial conces-
sions the cabinet shall ask the king
to take supreme command and rely
on his judgment.
Apparently, however, a majority OF
the people believe the cabinet must
assume the responsibility one way or
another with the certainty that its
decision will be sustained almost
unanimously by parliament and the
country. The part that parliament is
to play remains uncertain. 1t may or
1t may not be asked to express an
opinion as to the wisest course to pur-

RUSSIANS ADMIT
GERMAN ADVANCE

Petrograd, May 13.-Admitting q
gradual retreat and very heavy losses
to their own forces, the Russian war
Office declared that the losses of the
Germans already are overwhelming.
For nine days, the war Office says.
a general frontal assault on fortified
positions has been maintained by the
Germans and Austriars. They have
come on In irresistible numbers, the
report says, and it has been necessary
for the Russians gradually to retire.
in the movement the Russians claim
to have taken all of their cannon, mu-
nitions and camp equipment with
them.
Many Russian prisoners taken by
the Germans are said to have been
for the most part wounded who were
unable to follow the gradual Russian
retreat.

ANTI-CERMAN RIOTS
RESUMED IN LONDON

London, May 13.-Serious anti-Ger-
man rioting was renewed in East
London.
Crowds of men and women paraded
the streets, breaking windows of sew
eral butcher shops conducted by men
with German names and throwing the
furniture and supplies into the
streets.
The crowd also threatened Ger
mans with physical violence. The
police were temporarily powerless.
Several German butchers were
mobbed in Smithfield market and
thrown into the street. One was
chased to Farringdon street station
and finally drew a revolver with
which he stood eff the crowd which
was threatening him with death un-
til a train came along, which he
boarded and escaped
The anti-German demonstrations
seem to be spreading throughout the
islands. At Liverpool Germans are
unable to appear on the street and
many have voluntarily sought intern
ment in the prison camps to protect
themselves from violence.
A growing feeling prevails that
the time has arrived when all Ger
mans and Austrians, whether natural
lied or not, should be interned until
the end of the war.
Ii is believed the cabinet will au.
thorize such action If for no other
reason than as q peace measure.

Allies Make Progress in
Northern France.
new OFFENSIVE is BEGUN
Anglo-French Forces, Sweeping For
ward From Arras, Have Captured
important German Positlons-News
From Eastern Front Conflicting.


London, May '13.-The progress of
the allies offensive in Flanders and
Northern France has given rise to
the hope here that one of the really
momentous phases of the war is in
process Of a solution which would be
regarded as favorable from the Brit
ish point of view. Berlin recognizes
the importance of the new turn of
events. German newspapers empha-
size in large headlines the beginning
OF the new Anglo-French offensive.
German reinforcements rushed from
Lens and Douai thus far apparently
have failed to check the dash of
troops which, sweeping northward
from Arras. have captured important
German positions. The German war
office says that progress has been
made against the British line east of
Ypres, but Sir John Frenchs laconic
message asserts that all German eff
forts to break through have failed.
The British field marshal says moth
ing of the part British troops are
taking in the offensive In the direc.
tion of Lille.
The situation In the huge eastern
battlefield is still obscure. but it is
evident that the gains are not all at
the expense of the Russians. The Off
cial reports from Petrograd land Ber-
lin are SO divergent, however, that
military experts are loath to commit
themselves.

what some of these women were like,
who came to see Hall Bonistelle! She
had already appraised Carolyn-not
pretty, consequently not dangerous;
still it would do no harm to watch her.
So Flodie left them, but saw to it that

The situation was tense; it held po-

the stockroom. waited eagerly for the

tie preliminary skirmishing necessary;
neither of the two foes had yet recog-
nized the presence of rival.
Rosamund, with beauty's contempt
for mere brains, had returned to her
inspection of the photographs, when a
careless gesture sent some dozens of
the prints slipping, sliding, falling to
the floor. With an expression of an
noyance she stopped to pick them up.

"Oh!" Rosamund gave it another
look, and added petulantly: "Mr. Boni-

friends!"
Carolyn was frankly amused;
enough to say, "Oh, yes; in fact, I'm
one, myself" She gave sharp
, woman-to-woman glance at Rosamund.
"Indeed?' Rosamund's little smile
was acid. She drew herself up. well,

like crossed rapiers.
I'VE certainly ought to be friends,
then" said Carolyn, struggling her

trace of mirth in her tone. not enough
for Rosamund to register; but the hos
tility underneath Rosamund per-

Perhaps you think" Carolyn went
on, smiling, as Rosamund was silent,
that that's a good reason for our not
being friends"
This was in the modern mode; but
frankness was not at all the game that
Rosamund played best; wherefore she
