OF LONDON
SPEND CHRISTMAS
IN FOG AND DR|zzLE
Mud-Stained Veterans of
the War Thronged the
Streets-Atmosphere
Is Depressing

London, December 25.--The people of
London spent Christmas in a depress-
ing atmosphere of fog and rain. The
city was filled with soldiers, many
thousands of mud stained veterans
from the trenches having received a
short holiday leave. s.
The last of these men on furlough
arrived at the London terminal and
as late as midday, having been de-
layed by rough passage across the
channel, which left many of them still
pale and miserable when they reached
London
The great charitable institutions cell
ebrated the day with tremendous en-
ergy There was ample provision for
lonesome soldiers, for the wounded, for
prisoners and interned aliens, and for
the wives and families of the men at
the front The hospitals were bright
with flowers and gifts, while visitors
literally overran the already crowded
wards each patient being allowed two
or three visitors at time. Carol sing
ers and entertainers of various types
provided amusement at the hospitals
and internment camps.
SPECIAL SERVICES
Special services were held in vir-
tually all the churches, and attended
by large cations War was the
almost invariable subject of the ser
mons.
Archdeacon Wilberforce, preaching
in st. Johns, explained his praying
for the German people by stating:
1--WE are not praying that they won't
be vanquished or punished for their
crimes, but rather that the German
people may be emancipated from the
curse of Prussianism, and may strike
off the letters of cruel military despot-
ISM
Dean Inge, at st. Paufs cathedral
called the nation to a great campaign
of economy.
A VERY POOR NATION
eve must face the certainty that
we shall come out of this war a very
poor nation he said. But the neces-
sity for mutual helpfu1ness, the obliga-
tion felt by every citizen to do some
thing useful and the common desire
to make good what has been lost, will
make the nation a more wholesome
training school for the next genera
ton"
Canon Carnegie at ST. Margaret's,
attacked the weakness in leadership
revealed by the war, saying: 1.-THE most
painful lessons of the war has been
Great Britains lack of strong and
intelligent leadership. The selection of
men to lead the nation should be more
in the hands of the people. The pop
ular verdict on particular measures is
rarely right, but it is of the greatest
value when the choice of leaders is
concerned"

A Helpful Fable

Once there was village editor who
wrote a singing hint item about the
misbehavior of an anonymous certain
man." Ten different men whom the edi-
tor had not heretofore suspected of
malefaction were so certain they were
the certain man that they all came up
to the office and beat him.
Moral-From this we should learn
that when we denounce certain man
we should be certain that we are not
taking in too much territory.

TO AMEND REGULATIONS

there were the alternatives already re-

to give their sons to fight their country S

The Misses Ethel and Mabel Jarvis
have returned from visit to the
Grand Canyon. They went with
Ranger Alex Macfarlane as guide and
were joined by Lyle and Verda Stout
of Hurricane, going a goodly part of
the journey horseback. The part of
the canyon visited was that included
in the Mount Trombull and Parash-
aunt division of the Dixie Forest.
Here the sheer descent to the river is
5000 feet, and down this the ladies
made their way, the girls of the party
being the first ladies to get to the
river at this point; there is no trail
and they had to find way down the
steep canyon side. The ladies bathed
in the river and enjoyed the novel
experience of being the first white
women to do so at this point Of the
river. Miss Ether Jarvis says the
scenery about this part of the Grand
Canyon is undescribably grand and
beautiful, so much so that even an
attempt to describe it is foredoomed
to failure. She took a number of
camera snapshots of the scenery
which she intends having developed.
The party thoroughly enjoyed the
! outing.--Washington County News.

billed to show at Phoebe and Caliente
and il won't do to cancel any dates;
besides the expense would be too
great and the elephant is not used to
taking so mile hikes"
"But see here, replied BILL that
elephant would enjoy the trip; he
needs vacation anyway and besides
there are lot of people at Enter
prise who have never had the pleasure
of seeing an elephant. / am sure
they'll treat him right over there and
feed him on pine nuts and all sorts o.
things"
Nothing doing" retorted Frank
Adams; we are off for Phoebe right
after the evening performance"
"Be reasonable about this thing"
shouted "Bill." "You might as well
make up your mind Adams, that this
show is mine-for few days. AT
this particular moment "Bil" went
down in his jeans and pulled fourth
roll of greenbacks and slipped
Adams hundred. "Now your out Of
it" said the Modena man, land this
circus is going to Enterprise"
Meanwhile "Bill' harnessed up his
teams, the wagons were loaded and
the circus caravan started out across
the desert. This is how "Bill" Perry

Oil Displaces Coal.

Owing to the great output of petro-
luem in California and its use as a
manufacturing, railroad, and steamer
fuel, the production of coal in Wash
ington has been considerably reduced
during recent years. 1t is estimated
that the consumption of California oil
for fuel on the Pacific Coast is equiva-
lent to about 100000 tons of coal,
or between 6 and 7 times the output
of coal in Washington, or for that
matter in all the Pacific Coast States
combined, in 1914.
