XMAS PLANS OF
GREEK CHURCH
Observance on January 7 to Be
Followed by Big Celebra-
ton in Borough

Members of the Greek Orthodox
Church of this place are planning for
the annual Christmas observance on
January I. followed by the two weeks
OF celebration. Elaborate arrange
ments are being made for the affair
which will be the biggest one of the
church year. -
Hundreds of residents are preparing
for the event, which follows thirteen
days after the Christmas of the Roman
church. The two days are practically
the same in meaning and are similarly
observed. The difference in the time
is due to the different calendars in use
by the two branches of the church.
The Gregorian calendar is used by the
Roman Church and the Julian calen-
dar is adhered to by the Greek Church.
Following the day of worshiping and
special services the season of merry
making begins.

upon a modified form of conscription
bill. to be introduced, in the House of
Commons next week, giving the gov
ernment the necessary power to bring
in single men.
Premier Asquith's pledge. as stated
specifically in an open letter to Earl
Derby, stands good. and the Cabinet is
agreed it must be fulfilled in the letter
and the spirit. For the government
knows full we'll that the Premiers un-
equivocal pledge to the married men
was the sole reason for the wholesale
response of the married men. Up to
the moment of that declaration the
married men held back, but as soon as
Mr.. Asquith's pledge was given they
stepped forward in numbers which
were a surprise even to Lord Derby.
There is a considerable body of opin-
ion which believes that the time has
not yet arrived to go TO the extreme
length of putting wholesale compul-
sion into effect. This opinion feels
that some intermediate step is yet pos
sible; that the Derby scheme has only
fallen slightly short and that perhaps
a recanvass or another appeal might
bring in considerable part of the
unmarried slackers.
