CUBA'S PRESIDENT FOR
WAR, SAYS REPORT

HAVANA, Cuba, Dec. 10 Con.
greismen last night expressed the be-
lief that President Menocal would to-
day issue a proclamation declaring a
state Of war with Austria.
Such action by Menocal would fol.
low the precedent of the course he
pursued in the case of Germany. The
action of the United States was then
quickly and closely followed by Cuba.
With the United States at war with

Cuba for issuing a similar proclama.

MARTHA WASHINGTON.

It was 1853 years ago today that
'the widow Custis'' became the
bride of Col! George Washington.
Mrs. Gusts was in her twenty-seventh
year at the time of the ceremony
which united her destiny with that, of
the young soldier who was to become
the father of great new nation. Like
her immortal husband, Martha wash
ington was a Virginian born and
bred. She was IL when she became
the bride of Daniel Parke Custis and
thus abandoned her maiden name of
cambridge Custis was man of con-
siderable wealth, the son Of the Kings
counsel for Virginia, and at his
death she was left with large for
tune, and two children. During her
widowhood she dwelt at the Gusts
mansion, known as the White House,
in New Kent county, Va, but after
her marriage to Col. Washington she
took up her abode at Mount Vernon.
She is described as having been a
very beautiful woman, a little below
medium height, with an elegant fig
ure, fair complexion, and dark and
expressive eyes. She was quick tenn
pered on occasion, but for the most
part sweet and kindly Of disposition.
She always dressed with the most
regard for the latest fash

Many men have helped to make
history; but to Giovan Battista Vico
belongs the eternal credit of having
been the first man to unmake his
tory. Napoleon described history as
"a fable agreed upon"-and the
phrase is certainly correct when ap-
piled to much of what now passes
as history, and to by the greater part
Of what was called history before
Vico's time It was on the sixth Of
January, 1928, that the Neapolitan
jurist and philosopher published the
first edition of the masterpiece that
was to be the foundation stone Of
modern history-his "Principii d'una
Schema Nuova." 1t was an iconoclas-
tic work, in it's day, but it cleared
away much of the mental underbrush
that obscured history and confused 1t
with fables, and in that little intellec-
tual clearing has since been built, by
Buckle, Tecky, Draper, White, Vol
taire, Montesquien and others, the
structure which is now called the phi
losophy of history.
In the latter part of the seventeenth
century there was in Naples a little
book stall owned by one Anonio Vico.
The author of Schema Nuova" was
the son of this worthy. At the age
of seven <Giovan had a serious fall,
and his head was severely injured

him madman; but in the interval it
produced in him what some one has
called "the melancholy and sour tenn
per suited to men of talent"
Born in 1868, Vico was forty years
old when he published his first book,
work on Jurisprudence. He follow
ed this with several others OF a Slm-
liar nature, and sought on Che
strength of the reputation thus gain
ed to obtain the chair Of jurisprud-
ence at a. university. Having been
rejected, he returned to his private
study, and in 1928 gave to the world
the first edition of his masterpiece.
I'VE have a science Of nature" he
had said to himself; why, not, then,
a science of history?" In that book
he set forth his attempt to answer the
question he was the first to ask. He
sought to explain human history on
the theory that human actions are
subject to immutable, uncompromis-

Walters, as he pointed to a frag-
rantly blossomed tree on the insti-
tute's lawn, involved an ideal bo-
tahical idea, that cannot fail to reduce
materially the cost of living. These
trees are peculiarly suitable for back
yards.
Early last fall I grated on this
old peach tree, clippings from lilac
bush, raspberry bush and three
varieties of rose bushes. These CRAFTS
are alive today, and the peach tree
is also bearing healthy buds of its
own. Later on we will have raspber-
ries and roses and lilacs growing on
this one tree.
my next step will be to develop
special variety of these table d.
hote trees, which the poor can plant
ii their back yards and which will
bear a variety of eatables."
Several other combinations are
said to be the subject of earnest
study and experiment. Cabbages,
grapes and carrots are expected to
grow on gooseberry bush. A chest
nut tree will be grated with shoots Of
potato plants and pumpkin vines.

RUSSIA'S CHRISTMAS.

Christmas in Russia. Rumania,
Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro and
Greece falls on the seventh of Janu-
airy, and will be celebrated on this
Sunday by the adherents of the Greek
or Eastern church i'm all lands. In
Russia reports indicate that the OBJ
servance of the Festival of the Ma
tivity will be marked by much of the
old spirit, in spite of the fact that
the war is now engaging SO much of
the energies Of the people. Perhaps
the chief difference to be noted in the
interior of Russia on Christmas will be
the complete absence of that drunken
acterized the feast. Another change,
and one which is sorely regretted by
the youngsters, is the abolition of the
Christmas tree. This pleasant Gus
tom was introduced into Russia by
the Germans, and, because Of it's Teu-
ton origin, it is now taboo. The Or
thodox Church, of which the Gar is
the official head. has issued procla-
nation denouncing the Christmas tree
as of heather origin and wholly alien
to Russia. The "Star of Bethlehem"
constructed of pieces of wood and
decorated with tinsel and colored
paper, which is an old institution, in
Little Russia, has now taken the
place of the Christmas tree through
out the Cars dominions.
In Russia Christmas is marked by
a complete cessation Of business for
three days, and, while the industries
directly connected with the war will
shut down only on one day this year,
the custom will be adhered to by all
private industries and businesses.
The three-day holiday begins at 6
on Christmas eve. On Christmas day
even the street cars in Petrograd,
Moscow and other large cities stop
running, the newspapers do not issue,
and only the churches are thronged
Although food is much higher in
price than before the war, Russia has
not felt the pinch as much. as other
warning nations. on account of her
immense agricultural resources. Wages
have been considerably increased, and
the enforced abstinence from vodka
and other alcoholic beverages has
also helped to give Russians more
money to spend on Christmas cele-
brating than they had in times of
peace. Prohibition is strictly en-
forced by the military authorities dur
ing the holiday season as at other
times. In the early days of the war
many of the mobiles and wealthy peo-
pie of Russia acted on the assump-

vodka and was intended only for the
peasants and workmen. They have
