CHRISTMAS IN OTHER LANDS
Devote Day to Worship In
Their Churches.

The children of Russia Italy and
Spain spend Christmas day in wor-
snip at their churches and receive
their presents on January 6.
On this same day French children
have a great celebration and cut the
usually, with a china image baked in
it. Whoever cuts the slice that con-
rains the image is king or queen for
the day, and the rest of the children
must do everything the king or queen
does.
In Norway and Sweden they have
Christmas services in their churches
ut four o'clock in the morning and
the kind-hearted children scatter
wheat for the hungry birds.
Germany was the first country to use
Christmas trees, and from England we
get our idea of hanging the stockings
by the chimneys, burning the yule log
and hanging up the branches of mistle-
toe.
In Holland on Christmas eve the
children fill their stockings with hay
and oats for the white horse that they
believe Santa Claus rides. In the
morning they find the hay and oats
gone and instead are presents for good
children and rod or chunk of coal
fer the bad ones. The young men of
tile town arise at two o'clock in the
morning and sing Christmas hymns,
carrying a star on "a high pole that
is lighted by a candle inside of the
OILS is the way we follow the story Ia
the Bible, when the shepherds heard
the angels, sing when Christ was born:

HOLY ClTYS CHRISTMAS TIME
Distressing Scenes Witnessed i.
Church of the ssativ;ty-Guards
on Duty Day and Night.

Although much has been written up
on the subject Of Christmas in Beth
lehem, writes Harold J. Shepstone in
the Wide World, and we have had
glowing accounts of it's gorgeous pro-
cessions and ceremonies, none appears
to have been bold enough to tell the
world of the distressing scene which
may be witnessed in the one spot on
earth where man would expect peace
to reign at that glad season of the
year. Christmas is long business at
Bethlehem. First come the Latin cere.
monies, which take place on December
%, followed Is days later by the Greek
services, while ID days later comes the
Armenian Christmas feast. The serv-
ices are held in the Church of the Ma
tivity, one of the most remarkable edi.
fees in the world. The holy of holes
of the church is the grotto or manager.
It is a small underground chamber.
said to be the actual site of the stable
where the Savior was born. Just in
front of the altar is a silver star, let
into the marble floor, said to mark the
exact spot of the nativity.
In the various ceremonies the bit
terest rivalry exists between the vari-
GUS sects, and even during the ordinary
services Turkish soldiers have to be
on guard day and night in the church
to prev strife. On special occasions,
such as Christmas time, an extra force
of soldiers is necessary if order is to
be maintained. Tt is during Christmas
festivities that the church is cleaned.
To prevent QuarrelS among the rival
priests the authorities many years ago
set down definite rules as to what pOr-
tons of the walls, pillars, floors, etc.,
this or that body may clean or sweep.
Despite these elaborate precautions,
however, trouble often arises. During
the Christmas festivities Of 1913 a
deplorable scene was witnessed in the
sacred building. Two sects disputed
the rights to clean certain portion
of the church. They went to the gov
ernor of Bethlehem and he decided a
certain sect possessed the right to do
the work. When they started to sweep,
however, the rival priests flew at them
and soldiers bad to hold one sect back
while the other did the sweeping.

SENATE BEGINS
DEBATE ON BILL
Majority and Minority Reports On
War Revenue Measure Have
Been Filed.
ATTACKS 1920 TAXES
Senator Penrose, Speaking for Repub'
licans, Says Future Conditions Are
Too Uncertain and Informal
ton Insufficient.

Washington, Dec. 11.-With the pre-
sentation of the majority and minority
reports from the Senate finance conn.,
mittee, debate on the revised war rev
enue bill began in the Senate. The
measure has been given right of way
because of Republican opposition to
fixing 1920 taxes.
Chairman Simmons opened debate
by presenting the majority views.
Senator PenroSe spoke for the Repub-
lican members except Senator La Fol
lette, attacking the 1920 taxation plan.
Senator Thomas of Colorado, Demo-
crat, presented an individual report
criticizing the excess profits and in
heritance tax features. Senator SmOOt
of Utah, Republican, plans to file an
individual statement tomorrow
Simmons Defends 1920 Tax.
Senator Simmons completed his
statement today and in defending the
1920 tax provisions said American
business interests are entitled to know
what tax burdens they will be called
on to bear in the period of reconstruc-
ton.
He asked if the Republicans, advo
eating postponement of 1920 legisla-
ton, desired to keep the question III
allegiance solely in order that the next
Congress, controlled by Republicans,
may handle the matter
The minority report, while express
ing general approval of the 1920 tax
program, declared that extension of
the legislation into 1920 is without jus,
LITIGATION.
Senator Penrose said future condi
lions are too uncertain and informa-
ton at hand insufficient for Congress
now to fix tax schedules for 1920. He
added, however, that tax reductions in
that year are a foregone conclusion.
Luxury Tax Elimination Opposed.
Opposition already is developing to
the elimination of the so-called luxury
taxes. Increase of the individual in
come surtax, corporation and war-eX-
cess profits rates also is to be pro-
posed.
The most radical changes made by
the Senate committee in the House
draft, as outlined in a report presented
to the Senate late yesterday by Chair
man Simmons, Includes. Substitution
of single war excess-profts tax for
the alternative plan, elimination of the
per cent corporation tax on undis-
tributed corporate earnings and elm
ination of the tax on state and mu-
nicipal bonds.

TRUCE TERMS REMAIN
Allies Deny Fresh Demands Are
Being Made On Germany.
British Foreign Office Regards Berlin
Protests as Merely Form of
Propaganda.

London, Dec. 11.-A new and false
charge is contained in another Ger
man protest-that fresh naval terms,
which go beyond the stipulations of
the armistice, have been imposed by
the Allies.
A Berlin telegram gives the sub
stance of the demands of the ad-
miralty commission at Wilhelmshaven
for carrying out the naval conditions
OF the armistice, and states that pro-
test has been lodged against some of
these demands.
The Allies demand the return of all
interned vessels, and also those con-
edemned by prize courts. The surren-
der of British and Belgian vessels is
to take place in the Tyne and of
French vessels at Dunkirk. All these
vessels are to be sent in by Dec. IT,
What is described by the message
as completely new demand is the
surrender" of all German war YES
sells, including submarines and river
steamers, both finished and under con-
struction, at present lying in German
naval ports.
The British admiralty, dealing with
this subject, say no fresh terms with
regard to the navy have been made
by the Allies. The details now pub
lished by the Germans are only those
which were decided on by the Allied
council at the time of the armistice.
The British foreign office says the
German effort should be regarded as
a form of German propaganda.

Duly Brings Vision


Toistoi tells d lovely little
story of two pilgrims who set
out for Jerusalem. YeIesei
stopped to help a starving fam
lily. He bought food, fetched
water, split wood, started the
great oven fire, nursed and fed
the sick, redeemed the mortgage
on the home, and bought back
the COW, horse, and scythe with
which the living was earned.
His money was all gone, and he
could not hope to overtake his
companion on the road, so he
returned home and devoted him
self again to daily duty. Yefifn
would not pause to help anyone.
He reached Jerusalem, visited
the sacred places, obtained earth
from Calvary, water from the
Jordan, and blessed amulets Of
every kind, but because of the
throng he could not reach the
Holy Sepulchre. Yet, under the
lamps themselves where the
blessed fire burns before all, he
saw vision of Yelesei, wearing
a halo of shining glory about
his head. For Yefim had
brought his body to the Holy
Land, but Christ himself had
come to the soul of Yelesei. And
he learned that in this world
God bids everyone do his duty
till death-in love and good
deeds.
