The rest were circulars, A spar

chirping cheerfully. With its head

CHRISTMAS HYMN FOR BATTLE.
BY BERTON BRALEY.

From Prussian greed that levels
All beauty into dust,
From men possessed of devils
Of madness and of lust,
His power would deliver
Our world that fights for life.
His sword would flash and quiver
In forefront of the strift.
So, in the battle stenches,
We greet the Christmas morn
The word thrills through the trenches
ION this day Christ was born"
And 10, our hearts beat faster
With blood we gladly give
To serve our gentle Maester
Who died that men might live!
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-12-24

In this, the worlds disaster,
Mid guns that never cease,
We serve our Lord and Master
The gentle Prince of Peace,
For were dear Christ among US
To face the Hunnish horde,
His order would be flung US
Fight on with flaming sword"
He would not bid us palter
With monstrous fiends of hate.
Whose deeds profane His altar
Whose hands lay desolate
The land and sea He gave US
Whereon in peace to dwell;
He would march forth to save us
From any truce with He'll.

HUNT MAKES FEWER
 GAINS AS THE COUNT
 PROGRESSES TO END
From Appearances the Pre- cincts Giving Former Gov ernor the Best of Argument Were Counted First.

PHOENIX, Feb. 17-An appreciable decrease was noticeable in the gains made by Hunt in the various precincts counted during the contest proceed ings Thursday. It appears that the Hunt forces primarily called for the precincts in which their figures inGi. cated they would make their largest gains, but as the count progresses these gains are gradually diminishing, as was indicated by the result of the court proceedings Thursday.
 Sis precincts were counted Thurs day in which nine ballots were laid aside for court ruling.
 In Camille precinct. Santa Cruz county, the court count tallied with the official count, with one ballot lad aside for ruling.
 In Frisco precinct, Mohave county. with two ballots laid aside for court ruling. Mounts total is one less/and Campbelrs tallies even with the of ficial count The ballots referred to as being held for ruling are both mar ked for Hunt, but are endorsed on the back with the word spoiled"
 In Kingman, Hunt gained two in UT disputed ballots and Campbell also gained two. Six ballots were laid asiGe for court ruling which were marked rejected
 In owen precinct, Mohave county, Hunt gained one vote over the official count, although his followers had fig nred out a gain of two.
 In Short Creek precinct, Mohave county, Hunt gained one vote.
 In Elgin precinct, Santa Cruz coun- ty, the court count tallied with the of ficial count, although the Hunt fac tion had expected to gain one vote. !. During Thursdays proceedings the court ruled on one ballot which had been laid aside in Upper Lowell pre- cinct. This ballot was marked with one diagonal line in the square follow ing Hunts name instead of cross and was counted for Hunt. This ballot was also mutilated by having a large hole torn near the center of it. At the same time this ballot was counted for Hunt by the court he also counted 9 ballot for Campbell marked with q diagonal line. The counting of this ballot in Upper Lowell for Hunt gave him gain of one in that precinct, al though his supporters had calculated on gaining three.
 In 47 completed precincts Hunts gain to date is 122, or 25 les sthan he had anticipated. His gain will prob ably fall far short of this 122. as in some of the precincts in which gains have been made the number of ballots ceeded the number of names of those voting, as shown by the poll books.
