BRITISH WELCOME WAR HEROES
Field Marshal Halg and Five Gen.
erals Receive Big Ovation in
London.

London-London hung out its flags
and the old seaport of Dover flung its
gates wide open to greet Field Mar
shall Haig and the commanders OF
the five British armies which fought
in Belgium and France. Gems. Plumer,
Rawlinson, Birdwood, Byng and
Horne.
1t was merely an informal well
some on the part of London, but
Dover made of 1t great celebration.
The news that the field marshal was
coming home to spend Christmas
with his family at Kingston became
public and his ow-countrymen
would not be denied a chance to sec
and cheer the leader of their armies.
The real celebration in London
comes later--late in January or ear
ly in February The field marshal
will then according to time-honored
precedents be raised to a high rank
In the peerage, how high is a point
of speculation, and given money
grant by parliament for his services
to the nation.
This is the procedure which has
been followed from the days OF Vel
lington and Nelson down to Kitche-
ner and Roberts and the occasion will
be celebrated with civic and military
formalities such as no other nation,
except possibly France, can carry
out as impressively as Great Britain.
The welcome given the come-com-
ing generals was similar to that given
Marshal Foch and Premier Clemen-
ceau of France and Premier Orlando
of Italy little over a week ago, but
there was less display.
Premier Lloyd George, the duke of
Connaught, members of the cabinet,
generals and lesser functionaries
from the war office made up the re-
ceiving party at Charing Cross sta
ton After first greetings, the civilian
officials disappeared from the scene
and the small procession proceeded
through the principal streets to Buck

chosen me-" said Christ, "but l have
chosen you, and ordained you, that ye,
should go and bring forth fruit, and
that your fruit should remain" May
it be TO give you another opportunity
TO glorify his father by bearing fruit,
that you are still here?
1t may be you are waiting to be-
perfected. l ought to explain this, be-
cause there is a sense in which every
true Christian is perfected the moment
he accepts Christ as his Savior He
is perfected in that he is both justified
and sanctified; his sin is put away, and
by the Holy Spirit he himself is set
apart for God forever. The New Tes-I
lament is very clear on this; notice
Paurs words in his epistle to the Coz
lossians, for example.
What, then, do we mean by saying
we may be waiting TO be perfectedf
Do we mean the attainment Of state
of sinlessness this side of heaven? No.
for If a Christian lived to be as old as
Methuselah, would he not still require
to pray, "Forglve us our trespasses as
we forgive those who trespass against
us?" Ave only mean that perfectness,
I'm the sense Of ripeness for the
sickle, which comes In the lives OF
some as If crown Of glory had been
vouchsafed to them even before they
passed into the unseen.
And so may ii be with some of you
Though now your pruning, your dig
ging. and perhaps your growing days
are over, yet the quiet but potent rays
of divine grace are accomplishing a
maturity in your experience, so that
your Christian life never will have
been so attractive as In the hour that
you depart hence. ave all do fade as
leaf, but the fall of you, We glory
crowned ones, is TO be illumined by
the grandeur Of an autumnal sunset.
God bless you, aged brethren God
bless you. young and old, rich and
poor. saint and sinner! May you have
Happy New Year" In the highest
and truest sense. Happy Is the peo-
pie whose God is the Lord" Accept
him, serve him, wait for him. 1t IL
only as we stand in such relationship
90 him that, after employing the psalm
lists question, "And now. Lord. what
wait for?" we can confidently apply
the consolation In his words that fol-
low, my hope is I'm thee"

HOG ISLAND COST se330O,oOO
U. S. Pays 1925 a Ton, While Eng
lands Cost Is $40.

Washington-The minimum fee to
be paid the American International
corporation for constructing $50 ships,
costing $256,OO0,O0O, will amount to
about $8,910,000, Charles Piez, general
manager of the shipping boards
emergency feet corporation, testified
before the senate committee inves-
tigating Hog Island construction.
In view of increased expense, he
said, the fees will amount to only
slightly more than per cent on the
cost of production.
The witness fixed the approximate
cost of these ships at about 1925 per
ton, and said England now pays about
$40 per ton, while the Emergency
Fleet corporation had been paying
about $3.50 a ton.
Replying to a statement made by
Senator Harding that the contracts
for ships had been awarded to meet
the war emergency, Mr.. Piez recon-
mended going ahead to meet world
tonnage shortage, estimate at TO-
100000 dead weight tons.
The cost of the great shipbuilding
plant at Hog Island was estimated at
$63, 100000 by Mr.. Piez. He said the
yard which has delivered one ship
and had so keels laid should be COM
pleted in 60 days.
U. S. Operation Discussed.
would you have the government
take over the yards or continue their
operation as now?" Senator Johnson,
of California, had asked.
That's being considered now" re-
piled Mr.. Piez. There are some
grave disadvantages in taking them
over"
The original estimate of cost for
a plant on a smaller scale was $751;
100000 increased later to $4,000, 900.
Upon survey to be made about
January l to determine whether the
American international corporation is
reducing operating expenses, Mr.. Piez
said will determine whether the gov
eminent shall take over the shipyard.

Red rule, terrorism and class war
were overwhelmingly defeated by the
national congress of German soviets
at its first session in Berlin. The con-
gress voted for national constituent
assembly. A considerable majority
carried the motion.
Liebknecht Is Ignored.
DR.. Karl Liebknecht, leader OF the
reds, was shouting Down with the
Ebert government" from the roof OF
the Prussian diet building, while be-
low. in the historic room from which
the Prussians used to rule all Ger
many, 450 soviet delegates were de-
batting the question whether he and
Rosa Luxembourg, his chief admiror
and lieutenant, should be admitted,
either as guests or as members, with
regular seats.
The upshot of the debate was that
Liebknecht was repudiated only one
fifth of the delegates favoring his ad-
mission, though there was plenty OF
noisy support for him from the gal
lery.
Red Rosa, as the German Emma
Goldman has been called for years
was addressing some 10000 supporters
of the German Berkman from a soap
box.
Liebknecht, who had sneaked into
the building through a side door
made a speech from the roof.
There was much impotent rage in
his shoutings, however, and the as
sembled soviet delegates downstairs
forming the generally accepted ~
preventative body of the nation
/ thought it best to let his fury run its
course.
From the outset, the Ebert govern
ment has steadfastly refused to make
Liebknecht martyr by giving his
adherents the excuse that he is perse'
cuted The soviets, the bulk of which
is for law and order, has chosen tbs
same attitude.
To Liebknecht the most painful fact
was that his arch-antagonist, Philip
Scheidemann, majority Socialist lead
err, was one of the powers in the hall
below deciding Liebknecht's fate.

Berlin Dances Night
and Day TO Wipe Out
War Memory's Sting

London-The correspondent OF
Berlin of the Daily Exposes dealing
with the return of the German
army says scenes of enthusiasm
marking the Homecoming of the
troops are ending. He writes:
Berlin is dancing mad. There
are about so cabarets in the city
and dancing goes on all the after
noon and until o'clock at night.
In a weeks time the edict closing
dancing halls at 8 o'clock will be
removed and dancing then will con-
tinue all night. Berliners, are
looking forward to this.
1T is a remarkable thing to see
cabarets packed to suffocation
with women IN expensive toilettes
and both soldiers and civilians
dancing and drinking wine costing
$40 bottle. Seats at the theaters
can only be booked two days ahead.

ANOTHER LEAF

Within ifes book another leaf is turned;
Today we face new and untried year.
Its secrets and its purpose all unguessed
No hand may lift the veil that hides from us
Success or failure, and no feet save ours
May tread pathway do several tasks.
We step into the New Years outstretched arms,
And wonder if with all her Turing charms
Truer she'll prove than leave behind.
What we have gained from wrestling with defeat,
Mayhap will give strength new foes to meet
With greater courage. Come, then storm and stress.
Defeat and failure, or joys magic SPELL
To each or all the new year holds in store
We reach our hands in welcome. for we know
Our truest blessings from failures grow,
And that share of happiness will be
What we acquire through self-mastery

Carry. ing on next seasons farm work will be | largely governed by the obstacles 1 overcome in planning a system of 1 farming for more efficient use of man and horse labor.

POULTRY YARDS
 AND CHICKEN FENCES

Breeding stock, and especially growing chickens. should have an abundance of range, while hens kept solely for the production of eggs may be kept on a small area with good re- suits. In rura! districts the yarding of poultry is sometimes unnecessary and in such cases colony houses are used to advantage. Under this system it is easy to keep the birds healthy and their food bill is reduced, as they are able to get a good part of their feed from the range. These houses, which hold about 100 hens, are placed from 200 to 250 feet apart and are moved from place to place as new range is needed.
 When poultry fences are needed, as is the case in keeping poultry in towns and cities and in some rural sections, as few fences as possible should be erected, as they increase the cost of equipment, labor and maintenance. When very much land is available the poultry yard can often be kept in sod. On good soil this can be done by al lowing 200 to 250 square feet of land per bird (217 to 174 birds to the acre), while more space is necessary on poor or light land. A large number of fowls are usually kept to the acre where
 
 l frequently cultivated.
 Plymouth Rocks and the heavy meat | breeds in small yards require fences | , to feet high, while fence to ' feet high is necessary for Leghorns The upper feet of the fence for the latter may be inclined inward at an angle of 30 degrees or strand or two of barber wire may be used on top of the regular wire to help keep them confined, while it is sometimes neces sary to clip the wing feathers of one wing of those birds which persist in getting out.
 l Posts may be set or driven into the | ground. They should be set 8 to 1C feet apart with common poultry net ting or 16 to 20 feet with woven wire Corner posts should be about inches in diameter and be set 4 feet in the ground, while intervening posts may 1 be 4 or inches in diameter and set : feet in the ground. That part of the l post which is set in the ground may i be charred or treated with some wood 1 preservative to advantage, while cor ner posts should be firmly braced ol l set in cement.
