Admiral MAYO Acts.

Washington. Oct 13.-Destroyers
from the Atlantic fleet are making a
search of the Atlantic coast from
Newport north to the Canadian line,
to investigate report of hidden sub
marine bases or wireless stations.
Admiral Mayo, commander of fleet,
reported to the navy department to-
day that he had ordered the search,
but did not disclose the source of re-
ports or places where illegal radio
plants or bases were said to have
Eeen discovered.
Secretary Daniels made it plain to-
night that the admiral had acted on
his own initiative in sending out scot
ing craft, although when the Euro
pean. war began, general orders were
issued to fleet commanders to take
all necessary steps to safeguard
American neutrality.
So far as the department knows,
there is no intention to extend search
beyond the limits already defined.

Boston, Oct. 13.--An unidentified

embargo placed on their movements
after the German submarine raid off

York, not far from the scene of the
U-boat activities of last Sunday. The
Bowie is due in New York late tonight

GOOD WISHES


q OMEONE said that the richest per-
~ son was the one who was fullest of
good wishes for others and who received
their good wishes in return. Wishing 9th
crs well did him or her all the good in the
world, and the good wishes in return were
powerful for good. Don't we find it so
ourselves! No one can do without them.
They are our dearest possessions.
Montague Williams, the celebrated Brit
ish barrister. once related the story of a
rather u~nlovely and rejoicing in the nick
name amongst the urchlns Of the neigh
borhood of 'Old Pickbones." Generosi-
Nv was not one of his virtues, and if he
wished any human creatures well he kept
il a secret to himself. He was q man
who seemed impervious to all good wishes
Ia solitary old grudger who cared moth
ing for the good or the bad wishes of any
human creature. When he died. however,
it turned out that he had been by no means
"a thick-skinned a. he seemed. lie left a
will in which he bc9ueathed money to diff
ferent persons. and ten thousand pounds
to some unknown individual whom he d-
rected his solicitor to discover IL possible.
That person had been accustomed 10 send
him yearly an anonymous post card with

The writer gave no clue a. To who he
was. Did the old gentleman tear the cards
up or throw them into the fire. Not a bit
of it. lie had carefully preserved them

his will. Il bequeath him ten thousand
pounds for hi> good will"
| would dearly nave liked for the send
er of those post cards To have got that
money. but all efforts to find him proved
unavailing.
One cannot help wishing well to the per
son who wishes others well. Good wish

ID ERHAPS the very Oldest Of all
Christmas customs is that of deco
rating our houses, churches and streets
with evergreens. AT the very dawn Of
history began the worship of the trees,
or forest worship, and the groves were
mans first temples.
All our instincts, our passion about ma
ture, and forest memories, for forest wor-
ship was universal.
In later times to each god some hree
was dedicated: Apollo had the laurel,
Jupiter the OAK, and Greece for ages had
its sacred groves.
The forest worshippers could not worr
ship without giving, because TO worship
Is TO give, and these boughs and garland>
were the oldest gifts of man. Before he
rude skill he coul1 bring TO the sacred
trees and hung up on them the first flow
ers and greenery Of spring and the per
feet fruits Of autumn.
These gifts, remember, were never, as
with u, decorations; they were sacrifices.
The Romans, with a fine eye for beauty
used TO garland their temples and homes
and gathering places and even the big
Coliseum with boughs of green and ropes
Of flowers. This particular custom was
received by the Christians with a special
sort of approval, recalling, as it did, the
fact that our Lord entered Jerusalem
amid the strewn branches Of the multitude
We must not forget the welcome and
lovely mistletoe and holly. Indeed, Christ
mas without them would not, with Us, seem
quite complete.
Mistletoe was for ages regarded as
sacred by the old British pagans-the
mystery and sentiment, little understood
, Druids-and was surrounded with great
by rs.
1t was supposed to possess healing
powers and that it could ward off evil
spirits. The reverence paid TO this lit
tie parasite seems TO have been restrict
ed to it, only, when it was found growing
on the sacred oak trees in the Druids'
groves.
Once every year the Druid high priest
cut 1t with Il colder sickle, blessed IL ana
distributed the sprays among the people,
praying aloud that each one who received
it might receive divine blessings, of which
it was the symbol. Having received the
sprays, the people hung them above the
doors to propitiate the gods during the
year.
The only remaining significance attach
ed today to the mistletoe is the idea that if
a maiden is not kissed under it on Christ
mas day she will 60 unwed throughout
the year. This idea goes 80 far back into
the past that one cannot trace il.
II is because the mistletoe is rare and
not easy to get that We found and brought
forward the holly, which, though lovely, is
used only as a substitute for the mistletoe.
