BRITISH NAVY LAUDED
BY SIR GEORGE REID

That the growth Of human nber-
,ties during the last $50 yearS has
been due largely to the fact that
'rEnglishmen IN America" defeated
the British government IN the war
Of the American revolution, was the
theme OF the address delivered By
Sir George h Reid, former premier
of Australia, before the members Of
She National Geographic Society in
the auditorium OF the New Masonic
Temple last night.
In speaking OF the accomplishments
Of the British empire, which had
been 90 materially strengthened By
the enforced recognition OF the prin-
ciples estAblishad by the American
revolution, the statesman pointed TO
the fact that although 1900 900 pso-
pie had been bnrne upon the ocean
since the beginning Of this war, the
British navy and her allies had sue
ceeded In safeguarding the lives Of
all except 2,200: that the British
Armades, patroIling the seas night
and day, had sealed the passage be-
tween northern Scotland and south
srn Greenland (slo miles OF ocsan)
20 effectively that not q single Ger
man cruiser had been able TO escape
into the Atlantic ana prey upon world
commerce.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 1.-Ensign Kry-

the extremist government. His recep-
tion at Poskon was somewhat cold.
and he does not dare at present to
go to Mohilon, whers Kerensky's
commander-in- chief. General Dukho-
min, Is still in power.
Rrylenko declared Dukhonin is an
enemy OF the people. who IL pursu-
ing q policy which will lead to q fur
ther outbreak OF civil war, and has
ordered his arrest, as well as that Of
all his supporters.
Thus at the moment when the army
is insufnciently clad and fed and in
pressing need OF boots, has no forage
for it's horses, when its discipline has
disappeared and the railways are un-
able to cope with the carrying OF sup
plies, the extremists have empowered
their commissioner for war and ma
rine TO open armistice negotiations.
Masses win Approve.
However unfavorabls the moment,
the step will meet the approval OF .

ACalendar PartyIs
jolly at New Years

n CALENDAR party makes n novel
IA and informal entertainment for
the evening OF New Years day
or any night during holiday week. II
Is n very pretty idea to make the invi
tations look as much like the first page
Of one of the single leaf calendars as
possible. Paste on sheet OF white
note paper ieaflet from the. calender
bearing the date ON which the party
is to be held. Below this write:
This is an Invitation hearty
To my little calendar party.
Next Monday night at eight O'Clock
Bring all the wits you have In stock
BE sure 10 come whate'cr the weather:
Wen have jolly time together.
When the guests have arrived an
nounce to the assembled company that
they have been entered as contestants
IN calendar race. To prepare for IL
take one OF the single leaf calendars
which you can buy anywhere for n few
cents. This contains 1856 leaves. or one
for every day in the year. Tear the
leaflets from the cover and hide them
all over the house or apartment. In the
living room. hall or spare bedrosm or
wherever you wnnt your guests to go.
At given signal, the blowing of a
whistle or the ringing of n bell, every
body starts on search for the leaflets.
This can be continued for as long or
as short n time as desired.
The first prize should be given to the
person who has collected the greatest
number of days represented by the
calender leaves. This can be an orna-
mental calendar of some sort. The sec
ond prize should 20 to the person who
has the most calendar leaves for any
one month, but II is forbidden for play
ers to swap leaves to accomplish this.
A little diary makes n good second
prize.
There should be special prizes for
the people who find the dates of the
most holidays-Christmns New Years,
Wnshingtons birthday. Lincoln's birth
day. Memorial day, Fourth of July,
Labor day (the first Monday in Sep
tember) and Thanksgiving day (the
last Thursday In November). A differ
ent prize should be given to the holder
OF each holiday date and should be
something appropriate to the occasion.
For instance. the prize for finding De-
cember 25 should be tiny figure OF
Santa Claus or small stocking made
Of tarlatnn or net and filed with tiny
candles. New Years dny prize could
have n small red blotter decorated with
the figure Of Father Time cut from a
card.
After the prizes have been awarded
there is usually time before supper for
the date game. To play this II is nee
essary for the hostess to prepare in
advance number Of slips on which
certain well-known historic dates have
been written-for example. 1492, 1860.
17T6, 1914. etc. These, of course, stand
for the discovery of America by Co
lumbus, the battle of Hastings (Nor-
man conquest of Englnnd). the Dec
larntion of Independence of the Ameri-
can colonies and the beginning of the
great world war. Each player draws
slip, reads It aloud, and whoever first
names the event that makes It famous
receives the slip.-New York World.
