Christmas Ceremony In Rome.

On the Capitoline bill. in the old city OF

Of being the home of the Bambino.
The word "Bambino" is the italian for
'rbaby,', and this particular baby is a
wooden image which was carved by a
pious monk in the city Of Jerusalem about
the time that Columbu discovered Amer
lea. The little figure was finally sent to
Rome and became such an object or love
and reverence that people have for hun.

Battle history halts at the arctic cir
clio. Beyond that human life Is so Diff
fcult to sustain that its willful waste
is unthinkable. Nations with q foot
hold in the icy north recruit no armies
in that frigid zone. Indeed, the men
are Of such meager stature and intel
lect that a military training is next to
impossible.
The real natives of the arctic can
endure hunger and fatigue. can march
in their own fashion through hurri-
cane and blizzard, but their value is
rather to the explorer Of the inhos-
pitable north than to the soldier. As
hunters they are wonderfully clever.
yet they are curiously formal in ad-
ministering the coup de grace.
They will apologize to the fierce

and few sportsmen would risk their
lives against bear and wolf and wal
rus protected only by futile weapons
and their own personal dexterity.
The Iapps and Samoyeds Of arctic
Russia, like the Eskimos Of North
America and Greenland, are so often
compelled in times Of dearth and
famine to sacrifice their aged weak
lings that this form Of death has be-
come a vague religious and social prin-
ciple with them.

One Killed, Two Dying
Score Wounded in NJ.
Battle Of the Strikers
and Bayonne Police

Bayonne, n. j., Oct. 12.-One man
was killed and at least score wound =
ed, TWO OF them so seriously they are
not expected to live, in a pitched bat
tie here late today between striking
employees of the Standard Oil Co. and
the police. The fight was the culmina-
ton of a series of disturbances which
began Wednesday and continued
throughout last night and today. New
Jersey militiamen, back from duty
along the Mexican border, who were
sworn in as special policemen, aided in
dispensing the rioters who We're terror
izing the city by looting and burning.
Half dozen sheds overlooking the
oil refineries were set on fire before
the authorities were able to restore a
semblance OF order by firing volley af-
ter volley of rifle and pistol shots into
the ranks of the strikers and their
sympathizers. Isidor Natilsky, % years
of age, q lawyer who had no part in
the rioting late today, was the man
killed. He was shot through the back,
it was said, while running from the
scene of the battle and fell back dead.
Harris Martin, 10 years of age, by
stander. was shot through the right
lung and probably will die, according
to physicians at a hospital where he
was taken.
Edward, 80 years old. was shot
through the left lung. He also prob
ably will die, the physicians said.
Five others are in hospitals suffer
ing from wounds. The police report
that more than dozen strikers and
their SympathizerS who were injured
were carried to their homes. AS far as
could be learned none of the police
men or the militiamen were hurt.

were delivered today to the state depart

was not made public, but the Allies are
understood to give renewed promises that
every effort will be made to minimize de-
lay and annoyance caused by examina-
ton. but to insist upon certain legal rights
in regard to mails which the United

of the United States on mails the Allies
claim that as the United States admits

purposes it cannot rightfully object to
reasonable delays inevitable to that CEN

THEC.P.R. FACING
A STRIKE SIMILAR
TO that Of j. S.

Montreal, Dot. 1.-THE Canadian
Pacific Railway is now facing a strike
situation similar to that which has re-
Gently been settled by President Will
son. A strike vote will be taken this
week in which 1t will be definitely de-
ctded whether the conductors and
trainmen will walk out II their de-
mands are not met. For some time the
Western section of the Canadian Pa
cif1c Railway mems unions have been
preparing secretly for the forcing of
the management to meet their demands
which were made back in 1918 and
were later referred to a board of con-
ciliation and then not accepted by the
railway men. Individual meetings of
the various unions have shown that
the men intend to force their demands
upon the company and in this they
have become more emphatic since the
annual report of the Canadian Pacific
was issued and showed record net rev.
enue earnings of which the men think
they should have part as wages.
Grant Hall, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Canadian Pacific
Railway. in an interview says that with
regard to the differences Of opinions
which exist between conductors and
trainmen and the management of the
railroad he is not ready to make any
definite statement until the strike
movement reaches a head which will
be after strike vote Is taken. He said
that the men had been offered a sched-
ule similar to that which exists on
railways Of the United States and that
up to the present they had accepted it
on the ground. apparently, that the
schedule existing on the Canadian
Pacific was superior one to those on
the American railways from their
standpoint.
Mr.. Hall stated that the trouble now
rapidly coming to a head had origin
ated back in 1918 with the men when
they asked for considerable modifica-
tons to the existing schedule and
larger compensation. The matter was
then referred to the board of concilia
ton in 1914. which recommended that
certain Of these demands should be con-
ceded by the railway.
The representatives of the men, how
ever, refused to accept the ruling of the
Cancellation board and agreed, for pa
triotic reasons. to leave the whole matter
in allegiance while the urgent needs OF
the empire made it patriotic duty that
there should be no tie-up in general traf
fic in the dominion.
Representatives of the men assembled
a few weeks ago and interviewed the off,
Gals of the Canadian Pacific with a view
to getting their original demands con-
coded in full. They notified the minister
of labor that they intended to go on with
the matter where it was left off in 1914
The Canadian Pacific has taken the stand
that it will only grant such demands as
recommended by the board of concilia-
ton in 1914 and therefore the deadlock at
present which may result in a general
strike.
