Picturesque Cretan Garb.

An interesting description of the Cretan's picturesque dress ds given by a writer tn Blackwood's:
 ''The Cretan's national dress merits | word of description. He wears on his head either twisted kerchief or sort of pirates cap. with a tassel hang Ing over one ear. His upper limbs are dad in loose black shirt and his low. CT in a pair of black cotton brooches f bagginess which Is well nigh ia- conceivable even to one who ds used to the shalwar ef the Lecamt These brooches finish tight immediately be- low the knee and leave an dnch or more of sunburnt leg showing above the top of . high yellew boot of un. tanned leather. The men stride along with the highlander's easy gait. and as they go the slack of their preposterous breeches swings out behind them with al the tannty air Sf kilt"

London, Dec. 26.-Italy's Christmas
gift to the Allied cause was 9 bril-

General .Diaz' northern army
smashed the Teutons along the whole
front on which the latter had ad.
vanced perilously close to the head
II the Franzela valley, which separ-
ates them from the plain in that
rector.
The greater part Of the positions
lost two days previously are back in
heir possession and their counter
offensive is still in full swing. So
irresistible were the counter charges
that the Teutons we're forced to
abandon many Of the batteries and
machine guns, the capture Of which
n the previous days fighting the Ber-
in and Vienna war Offices were just
recording. --.:s.ts
It was a red Christmas eve on the
Asiago. Diaz' counter. offensive be.
gan just before dawn. All day long
the battle ragged and the departing
sun saw rivers of blood flowing
Down the snowcapped mountain
crests. Rome's official report lays
emphasis upon the stubbornness Of
the Austro.German defense and tho
terrific shell fire by both sides.
