"OLD SOL" BEGINS NORTHWARD TRIP
 WITH SUNSHINE

At about one o'clock today, Juneau time. the sun reached the farthest south for the year and started on the long and welcome northward Journey. Therefore today is the shortest of the year.
 According to the astronomers the winter solstice occurred at s minutes past o'clock this afternoon, Wash ington time, and that .s about four hours ahead of Juneau time. The wise ones have discovered that today Is one minute shorter than yesterday and that tomorrow will be one min ute longer than today. lt will be Saturday. however. before we have Q day two minutes longer than today. The last day of the year will be four minutes longer than today at Juneau, but from that time on the days will begin to lengthen faster.
 Origin of Christmas Holiday
 The beginning of the return of the sun from it's southward Journey has been Q matter for joyous manifesto. tions on the part of the people as long as we have historical record Thousands of years before the advent of the Nazarene and the birth of the Christian religion ancient Egyptians observed the day that we celebrate for the birth of Christ as the first day that the wise ones of that time could fix as Q certainty that the sun had started north. bringing with it new life for the valley of the Nile Later this celebration of the suns re turn crossed the Mediterranean. Then came the desciples of the lowly mar of the East. and not only converted the people but. after a time, convert cd the peoples holiday.

war SCARE IN U. S.
Congress Startled by Captain
Hobson's Revelation of
Japanese Trouble.
GUNS TRAINED FOR ENEMY
Preparations Made to Take Officials
From Manila for safety-The
Navy Heads Won't Talk.

Washington, Dec 16.-Representa
tive Richmond Pearson Hobson of Ala
bama created sensation in the House
committee on naval affairs when he
told Secretary of the Navy Daniels
and his aid for material, Captain Win
terhalter, u. s. N, that the garrison of
Corregidor Island had been under
arms and ready for instant action
throughout the month of May, 1913.
I'm May and for some months of
last year, 1913" Mr.. Hobson told the
committee, .tour gunners at Corregidor
Island stood at the guns night and day
with plans for 2-year siege. The har-
bors were mined. Troops from all over
the island were brought into Corregi-
dor and everything prepared for
siege, except that there was no trans
fer of the government from Manila. 1t
didn't take any vision to see that.
In Danger of Attack.
'I know that in May, 1913, we were
in momentary danger of attack from
Japan We assembled quickly at Cor
regidor one hundred and forty thou
sand tons of provisions. We had been
collecting these provisions for some
time and they were promptly concen-
trated as the situation became acute.
I believe that we still have this enor-
nous stock of provisions at or near
Corregidor
I'm anticipation of Japanese attack
our gunners at Corregidor slept by
their guns night after night. A part of
the time a launch was kept in readf-
ness to remove from Manila the gov
ernor general of the Philippines and
his staff Our soldiers scattered
throughout the islands were brought
in for the expected attack.
Japan Active Too.
You ask if Japan was active while
our gunners stayed by their guns at
Corregidor. Certainly it was. This l
know, too, and it is not denied. There
is much to be told about the acuteness
of that situation and the public never
realized how near this nation was to
war. For weeks an attack at any hour
would not have surprised those who
knew.
+ Incidentally, Corregidor is the only
spot under the American flag which is
amply protected. Our biggest guns
are there-how many guns and what
guns, it is not wise to say-but l re-
gard Corregidor as adequately defend
ed
Manila would fall but Corregidor
would be impregnable, hence the plans
to remove the government of the
Philippines to that spot a year and a
half ago."

CONVICT IS A GOOD FELLOW
Made Happy by Prisoner Now
in the State Prison.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 16.-That the
Christmas spirit of good will and char
ity penetrated even behind prison
walls was made plain yesterday in a
letter received by the Good Fellow
Editor of a local newspaper from a
convict The letter follows:
4 don't know whether l would be
considered a good fellow or not So
ciety has decreed that 1 was a bad
fellow and has segregated me for a
period. In spite of the fact that 1
transgressed the law 1 am being cloth
ed and fed and taken care of, while
hundreds of people, especially chill
dren, whose only crime is poverty, are
actually suffering for the bare neces-
stiles of life and through NO fault Of
theirs are facing the Christmas season
with scant hope of happiness
Il am sending two dollars which I
hope you will be able to use to bring
gladness in some small measure to
some little one. You need have no
fear of this money being tainted, for it
was honestly earned at the rate of fif-
teen cents day.
Il have two little girls of my own
Christmas money, am sure they will
be glad that I shared with some others
less fortunate.
Yours in Christmas spirit.

States New Act Will Be Methodically
Attacked at Once by Three
Strong Organizations.

Phoenix, Ariz. Dec. 15.-Governor
Hunt yesterday issued his proclama-
ton, making effective January l. 1915,
the new prohibition law, the 80 per
cent measure and other propositions
carried at the November election.
Attacks upon the dry" law will be
made Immediately by four lines of or
ganized business. Similar action is
said to be contemplated against the
go per cent" measure, which provides
that 80 per cent of the employees in all
business, where five or more persons
are employed, shall be American citi-
Zens.
Action against the Prohibition Law
will take the form of applications for
injunctions by Father Thomas Con-
molly. pastor of All Saints Catholic
Church at Tucson, Ariz., alleging that
it will interfere with the use of wine
in the sacramental service; by syn
dicate operating drug stores as the
representative of the druggists; by
Phoenix hotel company for the retail
Hauor dealers, and by a Phoenix firm
acting for wholesale liquor dealers.
Governor Hunt recently was re-
uuested by Secretary of State Bryan
to defer the proclamation of the "8o

ment's determination of its possible
conflict with treaties. The governor
later found, however, that it was COM
