CELEBRATION IS "OFF."
Delay in Shipping Rectifiers Causes
 Abandonment of Proposed Plan.

Abandonment of Proposed Plan.
 The celebration planned for the opening of the white way in this city received a setback today, when the local United Electric Light and Water company officials received a letter from the General Electric company of Schenectady, N Y., to the effect that the rectifiers, which were to be shipped yesterday, have been delayed until December 15.N Due to the fact that the stores have their Christmas opening the following evening, it will necessarily mean the abandonment of the celebration. It is probable, how ever, that the lights will be ready for use before the last of Christmas week, providing the weather conditions prove favorable. The change of plans causes regret among the merchants as extensive arrangements were under way for celebrating the occasion. The Chamber of Commerce had taken the matter up with the railroad off, cials and the rectifiers were to be rushed here immediately so as no de- law would occur in getting them in shape.
 Secretary Andrews is in receipt of a, letter from General Manager J. A. Droggi of the New Haven" road, in regard to the waiting station at the Berlin station. Several months ago, the officials promised the cham Der that steps would be taken to have the station erected, but nothing apparent ly has been done in the matter. MT. Droggi in his communication promises immediate activity.

Treyino, With 5000 Men, Watch ing Villa Near Chihuahua City
| MAY TAKE 0FFENSIVE E
Carranza General Believed to Be Waiting for Reinforcements Before Making Attempt to Wrest Northern City from Bandits.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Two over- night despatches from Brig Gen. Bell at Fl Paso containing first informa- tion to reach the war departm ent from army border officials concern ing Villas victorious attacks on Chi huahua City were received today After a careful study of the reports it was stated authoritatively that the in- formation contained nothing that could be construed as an increased menace to the American border or that threatened safety of Juarez.
 General Trevino, the Carranza com mander, at Chihuahua City, was said to have had about 5000 soldiers, while the strength of the Villa forces was estimated at from 2,500 to 5000 men.
 Trevino Has Eyes on Chihuahua.
 Gen. Trevino was reported to have retreated south with his command, but officials said it was their opinion that he remained within short distance of Chihuahua City, awaiting reinforce ments under Gen. Murguia with which he would return and attempt to re- take the city.
 Refugees say Villa began the at tack Thursday morning and withdrew
  Friday. The battle continued desper- ately throughout the day and culmtn- ated by Villas forces penetrating into the center of the city, where street fighting was general. They withdrew that night, taking Trevino's artillery which they had captured at Santa Rosa hill. Saturday they re-entered the city and fighting continued until Monday.
 One of the refugees said that the attack was opened from three direc- tions, the first from the water works, the second from Coronel hill and the third from the round house north of the city.
 The most desperate fighting was said to have been around the peniten- by the bandits several times before they succeeded in getting complete possession.
 None of the refugees interviewed q by Gen. Bell was able to identify Villa among the bandits. The Mexi- can embassy here still was without information today concerning the final outcome of the Chihuahua City en- gagement.
 Ambassador Designate Arredondo, however, admitted that there appeared little doubt but that the Carranza forces had been driven from the city, which had fallen into bandits hands.

points further and further east, to outf1ank each line taken up by the Rumanians as they retire under the pressure of Won Falk kenhayn's forces from the north and west and such of Won Mackensen's troops as were all ready on the north bank of the river.
 Entente commentators point out that such a move may now have been effected Mention by Petrograd that hostile patrols have appeared near Lake Gircia indicated that new crossing has been made by Won Mack ensen near Oltenzai, southeast of Blu charest An advance from this point would hem in the Rumanians around Bucharest, except to the northeast, and if carried far enough would cut off their retreat.
 The crisis in Greece seems to have passed for the present with the an nouncement from Athens that the king has agreed to give up the ar tillery demanded by the entente and that the allied forces which were landed are being withdrawn, an armistice having been arranged. Be- fore this, panic had reigned in Athens with an exchange of fire between Greeks and entente marines. In the course of the fighting many civilians are reported to have been killed.

 Munitions Problem.
 London, Dec. 2-Hopes of the Ru-I manians' ability to save their capita by making a stand on the line of the Argechu river are now dwindlindI rapidly. The German plan apparent ly is to envelope the Rumanians or1 second Rumanian armies. According a to the news of the last two days, thi3 plan is being swiftly carried out. BJ the capture of Campulung the Ger1 mans gained a new line of supply and communication through Forzburg pas4 which greatly facilitates their opera tions. In the meantime Field Marsha Von Mackensen continues to throNI forces across the Danube at different points. The report in yesterday Russian communieue, that the enemJ patrols have appeared in the regiorj of Lake Griaka, indicates that Vo1 Mackensen has effected new cross] ing somewhere in the neighborhood ol Oltenitze.
 Unless strong Russian reinforced ments arrive in time to throw VoI1 Mackensen's forces back across thd Danube it is believed that the Ru1 manians will find it too dangerous i'd try to save Bucharest by making stand on the Argechu river. In vieN of the fate of the Actresses in Bel giumn ad other strong forts little conI fidence is felt here in the ability ol Brialmonts Notifications around Bucharest to withstand the attack 9 German heavy ordnance.
 Germans Have Great Forces
 According to the estimate fornsed by military observers some days age the Central powers have some divi, sions in western Rumania to whicE must be added whatever forces VoY Ma cl1ensen has been able to throw across the Danube. Rumania ha: about twenty divisions with which ts confront the invaders. According to Berlin despatch to the Teutonic forces have now req ched the lowlands from which the outermost forts of the gir, dle around Bucharest are within range of the German heavy guns This despatch says it is not believed the Rumanians will attempt to del fend the city. There is no contirma \ tion from any other source of thd German rumor that Russian troops have reached Bucharest.
 The greatest reliance is now placed here on the Russian counter move IT the Kirlibaba region. In this theaterl the Russians are making great ax- tack on a front of 400 kilometer stretching along the whole Carpa thian line and tho northern pare os Pennsylvania.
 It is believed here that both Ru- mania and Russia may have been hampered by the question of muni- tions supply as well as by the diff culties in railway transit and the long distances necessary to cover to bring up reinforcemenas In regard to munitions, Russia is now in better shape, as the new railway just opsnedI from Kola Bay to Lake Omega gives access to ar ice free port, thus giving constant communication with England. and America by sea.

GREEK KING GIVES UP ARTILLERY TO FRENCH:
 ARMISTICE IN ATHENS

at 8 o'clock this evening to discuss the possibility of an agreement. An arn1istice was finally arranged and the firing ceased. The number of casual ties is not known but many civilians are known to have been killed.
 Admiral Du Fournet landed some 400 marines at an early hour and marched toward Athens, seizing Philo- paphos hill overlooking the city. The Greek guards on all roads leading to the capital refused to permit a second marine deta chment to advance fur ther. All trans between Athens and Piraeus were stopped and no car riages were permitted to enter the city.
 In Athens there was intense excite ment. Women carrying loads of pro- visions hastily bought in anticipation of siege, thronged the streets above which bullets were flying. Old men with hunting guns on their backs mounted guards at the street corners so as to release the soldiers for the fighting outside. Four hundred Brit ish marines reinforced the French force in the Zappeion, the famous in dustrial exposition building which lies at the south side of the gardens of the royal palace. From the surround ing hills Greeks poured bullets into the Zappeion. The allied forces ap- peared to be acting under precon- ceived military plan which was in- tended to spare the city as much as possible.

True Observance.

There are four cardinal points to be
observed if we usesSunday as we should
in order to help us in this world and
the next.
First the Sabbath is to he used for
physical rest. The care of the body is
necessary to spiritual and intellectual
DEVELOPMENT To most men and women
the six week days are a continuous
physical strain, and the Sabbath should
be great boon to those who feel the
strain They can secure the needed
rest by change of thought and occupa-
ton.
Second. there should be religious in
struction A day of physical rest does
not mean a day of mental idleness. 1t
has always been a recognized feature
Of proper Sabbath observance that at
tention be given to religious matters.
Attendance upon preaching is a ieSiti-
mate means to this end. To use Sun
day as God intended ii to be used there
must be on that day quiet, reverent
and earnest thought on the things OF
God and eternity.
Third. there should be time and
thought given to the spirituality of the
home life. The Sabbath is especially
adapted for the exercise OF a right in
iuence upon the home. 1t should al
ways be a reminder to the Christian of
Gods covenant made with His people
and their children and of the Obliga-
lions imposed to teach in the household
the statutes and ordinances OF God.
Fourth. there should be Christian ac-
tivity. The whole Sabbath is not TO be
