OFFICERS TEST RIDES
ARE CALLED FAILURE
General Darlington Recommends
That Practice Be Abandon.
ed, Saying 1t Is Useless.

The annual test ride for field officers
has failed to accomplish any good
purpose and should be abandoned" in
the view OF Brig. Gen. f. A. CARING
ton. inspector general of the army. in
his annual report today. The daily
exercise now required under the direc-
ton of the post commander is held sut-
fcient to keep officers serving at posts
in trim For other officers, General
Darlington believes a certain amount OF
exercise each month would be more
beneficial.
General Darlington also recommends
that officers more than forty-tive years
old he exempted from the obstacle ride
rs he holds 1t subjects them to un-
necessary risk of injury.
Officers who have taken this ride
for a number OF years and who have
arrived at the age of forty-five should
br sateguarded against accident and
excused from the ride" General Gar
lington's report says. especially as the
older officers would in case of war,
be eliminated from regimcntaI duties.
1t is illogical to subject officers of
man, years service to the same physi-
cal tests as are applied to those pos
scssinE the elasticity of youth The
field officer is now subject to the same
test as the Junior officers in the OBJ
stacle ride, and. in addition, takes the

LAWMAKERS FLOCK
BACK TO CAPITAL
All Really for Long and Strenuous
Session Beginning Tomor-
row Morning.

Consressmen and Senators f1ocked
back to Washington on every train to-
day. for the reopening OF Congress to-
morrow. Everyones mind is made up
that a long, arduous and exciting ses
sion is ahead. Many predict the pres
ent session will run into the short ses
sion. which convenes next December.
Big international questions prepared
ness and revenue legislation are tho
foremost questions with which Con-
gres will wrestle. Government owner
ship OF shipping. appropriations and a
vast array Of domestic problems which
have found expression in thousands OF
bills, are to be considered.
Because of the sinking OF the Persia.
it will be difficult to hold down
speeches on submarine war In Senate
and House. The Senate Foreign Rcla-
tions Committee will consider the Smith
resolution for an investigation into
British interference with American
shipping and the Lodge amendment for
an inv estigation into submarine attacks
on liners. Senator IIoke Smith is pre-
pairing again to assal British policy
toward neutral trade.
1t will be many weeks and there WI
be lengthy committee hearings before
the preparedness program assumes
much clarity. The Ways and Means
Democrats will at once tackle the reve-
nue question. They are at sea as to
what to advocate.
The session will resume with great
under current of political discussion NOV
ing. Presidential politics is talked every
where. The most interesting phase OF
1t concerns the question: Can Roose-
welt come back" Just how Bryan plans
to attack the Wilson Administration is
also widely discussed.

SWISS SANTA AN ANGEL
Brings Children Apples, Nuts and
Prupes at Christmas

Extra festivities are. of course. held
in Switzerland between Christmas and
New Years, that long anticipated time
Of the year which signifies for the ma
jority Of the natives period full Of
sacred mystery and the anniversary Of
many a day particularly specified in old
traditions, according 10 The Spring
field Republican" Some twenty or
thirty years ago Il used TO be Santa
Claus whom the children hailed as the
mystic donor Of their various gifts, con-
sisting OF apples, nuts, prunes and small
home baked cakes Later on the
"ChristkindH." a lovely angel with
wings, gradually started 10 take old
Santa's place in many districts Of
Switzerland Christkindli brought a
wonderful, brilliantly lighted Christmas
tree, decorated with glittering threads
Of silver and gold and heavily laden
with manifold gifts.
Many ancient and quaint customs are
still prevalent in Switzerland during
this period Of the year. To the unmar-
ried folk Christmas holds that magic
KEY 20 the unknown future. On Christ
mas Eve, when the bells are calling 20
worship in the village church. you must
drink three times from nine different
fountains. and you will then behold
your husband or wife-to-be standing at
the church door.
Miraculous powers are also attrib-
uted 10 Christmas. Children born on
that day can see ghosts. and are able
10 tell fortunes. Water can be changed
into wine, and If you are some sort OF
an adept in the mysterious art OF
magic you are NJ that time able TO
safeguard yourself against all bodily
injuries. Farmers in certain parts of
the country believe that if they ferti-
lie their fruit trees during Christmas
week the same will bear especial
quantities Of fruit for the next season.
And when the happy Christmas days
are over. there comes New Years Eve,
with its Jolly social and family gather
ines and its maTvellously effective
ringing in Of the new year. when all
the church bells throughout the land
are lifting up their voices for half an
hour
While Christmas. 1916, will hardly
be a general day Of rejoicing in many
a great country in Europe, Switzerland
is preparing TO celebrate it in its usual
way. There will perhaps be less
laughter in the valleys and fewer bril-
liant festivities in the fashionable
winter resorts above the clouds.
Brotherly love and sympathy for the
bleeding neighbors could not will II
otherwise, but Switzerland is grateful
10 the fate which has so far, in spite
Of everything, been kind TO II.
