BRITOHS SLOW
 ID COMPREHEND

London, Dec. 26-The London Press took a " tack Saturday figuring out why President Will son Of the United States sent his ocacs nOte33
 The first cutburst of indignation having died down somewhat, the newsUaDer editorials today began SD. Kulati1g on the belief that the American President "has some lining uU his slgeye."
 Even in official circles both here and ill Paris, th~re is a growing iut.uCst in the peace note and eX- pressions are hard on all sid JsI that there is something behind the move that is undoubtedly the grehtest ac- tion ever taken in bringing about 0eace in Europe.
 According to several French pa pers it is expressed freely that "Presidert Wilson never talks un- less there is some action of mo- ment and decisive nature to fol- low"
 T. e Temps says: President Will son has never start al anything he has no+ finished. There is some things of a bold nature behind hi peace notes. His policy before his congress demonstrates that he is . leader and effects what he starts to accomplish.

I9I6 4. 3. CHRISTMAS TREE
 WAS A DELIGHTFUL SUCCESS

[ that IT would hyae stayed longer, but he had so many other towns and children to visit, SO he told the committee to see that ali the pres ents were carefully .liNered and he then passed cut the front of the hall, shaking. hands with the hun dreds of little friends as he made his way out.
 There was not one hitch in the distribution of the packages, and as the committee had been made a generous appropriation so as to be aLlo to take care of the individual needs and choose those gifts which ill it's opinion would be most likely to please, each and every little child left the hall with that which he or she had most wanted Santa to bring.
 The purchasing committee, which consisted of three young matrons, are to be congratulate upon tue r suit of their lalo.s, fRd the teachers and entertainm mt com uittee did their work well, for the DrC gram was one of unusual inter est and tn, little playl t in which number of the school children enacted, "A Strike in santa's Work shop" was well acted.
 Thosa who assisted the members Of the Brotherhood, such as ush2rs, delivery boys, and state carpen- ters, are also to b. congratulated for they did their work thoroughly aud pleasantly.
 If there is one single criticism mad, of the entire affair, must be that the one doing so, was not in a happy mood, nor was he pres ent to see the mantle of joy and hauliness which was so manifest in tho A. B. hall last night.

Anchorage-Freight rates for the government railroad were announc- ed today in a schedule entitled "Lo- cal Tariff No. B." by the Alaska engineering commission. In it are Set forth the class, commodity and distance rates between Anchorage and Seward and other points along the line.
 Like all tariff schedules, it takes a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out just what the rate is on any par ticular article.
 Class rates from Seward to Kern Creek vary from IS to SS cents per hundred, from Seward to Mile 25 10 10 50 cents per hundred, Seward to Woodrow to 20 cents per hun drcd. From Anchorage to Kings river the rates vary from 16 to 80 cents per hundred.
 These are rates on carload lots and every descripfion of freight is considered on a different rating.
 The schedule Is based on the western rate classification by the Interstate Commerce Commission and is now effective.

Several rows, way up in front, where eyerythin' could be slan, had been reserved for the kid d!es, and the balance of the seat ing capacity of the hall was given oyer to the grown-ups. Not one seat was vacant, and when. Arctic Chief Rusmuson called for quiet every child and adult was in a state of excitement. After welcoming the quests of the Brotherhood, both small and lareg, MT. RasmusOn in troduced Dr. L. ,. Keller Father Turreu, and Rev. Pedersen, who each in turn made a few appropriat remarks bearing on the entertain ment. Betwe n the remarks of these men, the school chldrtpI added their to the program, and it was plain to be seen that the little solks were by far the most popular of the performers until Santa tap ped on the window back of the beautiful big tree, and from that time until the close of the enter tainment, Santa was the center of attraction.
