Origen, an early father of the church
said that in the Scriptures It was the
sinners alone, not the saints, who eel
ebrated their birthdays. The very first
evidence of a feast having been held
in honor of the birth of Christ was In
Egypt about the year 200. Clement of
Alexandria said: Certain Egyptian
t~heologians over curiously assign, not
the year alone, but the day of Christ's
BIRTH placing 1t on May 25." Another
date assigned to the event was March
20. because on that day the material
sun was created.
Because of the Increase of merry
making Kin Canute gave orders about
lilo that there should be fasting in
stead OF feasting from Christmas to
Epiphany. At various times both civ
ii and ecclesiastical authorities con-
demned various forms of celebration
many OF them because they had been
carried to excess. In England in 1914
all Christmas observance was forbid
den by parliament. The day was to
be a fast. a market day and the ships
were compelled t be open. Worse
IMAM all, the popular plum buildings
and mince pies were tabooed and con
demned as heathenish. Lovers of
Christmas resisted the measure and
at Canterbury and some other places
there was bloodshed. After the res
toration all of the lovers OF old Christ
mas customs revived them to the full
and ~dissenters contented themselves
with dubbdng yuletide fooltide.
Many curious feasts arose in con-

II is proposed to authorize the issuance

be easily marketed.
The bill also provided that the UNI

BERLIN SEES NO
ISSUE WITH U. 5.
Assumes U-53 Is Heeding
Law - Silent on YES
sells Mission.

Berlin. Oct. 9.-The submarine C-53
to-day furnished two surprises for the
people of Berlin-its unexpected ar
rival at Newport and the sinking of
British freighters off the American
coast. The exploits of the submarine
occasioned long and enthusiastic press
comment.
Regardless OF the various attitudes
of the newspapers with regard TO the
present submarine controversy, all the
journals express the keenest pride and
pleasure in the achievements of the
U-53, dilating particularly on the fact
that she was able to resume her voyage
from Newport and operate against
enemy merchantmen without taking ad-
vantage of the international privilege
of replenishing her fuel and other sup
plies.
There is no fear here of complica-
tions with the United States over the
warlike activity OF the submarine, as 1t
is generally assumed in official as we'll
as newspaper circles that her opera
tions are being conducted in accordance
with the requirements OF regular
cruiser warfare as specified by the law
of nations and recognized by the
American government.
No information is obtainable here
concerning the voyage of the u-53 or
her mission. nor is anything said as TO
whether other submarines than the
U-53 are operating in transatlantic
waters or are on their way there.

BREMEN AIDING
U-53, IS REPORT
Supplying Raider from
Secret Lair at New
London, Is Belief.

lEsom STAT Correspondent Of The Tnbunsl
New London, Conr., Oct. 9.-Rumors
that a mother ship for German srb-
marine raiders is being supplied from
this port by tugs of the Eastern For
warding Company arc generally ac-
cepted as true. It is suspected the
Bremen is the supply boat.
1t is said the Bremen arrived off
New Haven at the time her safe ar
rival was publicly announced in Ber-
lin and since that time has been reg
ularly supplied with necessities by
tugs. The belief that the Bremen lies
hidden by day somewhere along the
coast and by night receives these sup
plies and transfers them TO armed u
boats is general.
Officials of the Eastern Forwarding
Company continue to assert the Bre-
men is safe, although il is more than
two months since she is reported to
have left Germany and no American
port has seen her. The trips made by
the company's ocean going tugs have
not ceased and are made at night.
These powerful vessels, obtained as
was the land on which expensive piers
and warehouses have been erected, for
the ostensible purpose OF handling
undersea commerce with Germany,
steam out night after night on mys-
terious errands. Although their skip
pers have never reported sighting the
Bremen or any other commercial sub
marine no encouragement is manifest.
A naval officer connected with the
naval submarine station here scouts
the idea that the sailing of the
Deutschland was simply commercial
venture. The Deutschland was sent
to test the perils of such trip. he is
convinced. and TO prepare the way for
the war submarines. II is even sug-
gested that the Bremen is merely the
Deutschland with new name.

ALLIES PREPARING
TO Arm TRADE SHIPS
Raids Will Fail if Vessels Carry
Guns, Entente Belief.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The new Ger
man campaign demonstrates clearly
the need Of armng all Allied mer-
chant ships, Allied circles declared to-
night. None Of the U-bost attacks
could have succeeded, it is believed, If
the merchantmen had been able 20
defend themselves, while, on the other
hand, unless guns are provided the
havoc of the German submarines is
practically unlimited.
Unless the United States takes steps
20 end the alleged blockade it is ex-
tremely likely that all British ships
plying the Atlantic trade will be
equipped with guns. Great Britain
had determined on this policy until
the German operations III the "war
zone" dwindied to Insignificant pro-
portions, wnen 1t was decided TO arm
only the larger ships.
Germany has never formally recog-
nized the right of the merchant ships
70 arm for defence. But President
Wilson's position was made clear when
he went TO Congress last session and
demanded an Endorsement of ais view
that merchantmen were entitled TO ie-
fend themselves by force against the
attacks of warships.
