Great Sword Not Unsheathed.

Druidical rites and ceremonies
marked the opening Of the great Weish
festival of the year. the Eisteddfod'
which was held recently at Birkeh-
head. The Gorsedd circle OF stones
with the tall Logan pillar was set up
in the center of the large park of the
CITY and nearly all the addresses were
delivered in Welsh. On account Of the
war the arch ruled that the great
sword should not be unsheathed Win
the challenge as it peace" ana Il
challenging note was blown on the
bugle instead. A message received
from the Welsh brigade fighting In
France was greeted with tumultuous
applause. Premier Lloyd George WIS.,
tied the gathering and made an ad-
dress in the mother tongue.

TRUE DEMOCRACY.

Few people take the trouble OF
finding out what democracy real
~ Is. Yet this would be great
help. for 1t is our lawless and
uncertain thoughts, it is the in
definiteness of cur impressions
that fill darkness. whether men
tai or physical, with specters and
hobgoblins. Democracy is moth
ing more than an experiment in
government, more likely to sue
coed in new soil, but likely
to be tried in all soils, which
must stand or fall Oh its own
merits as others have done be-
fore it, for there is no trick of
perpetual motion in politics any
more than in mechanics. Presi-
dent Lincoln defined democracy
to be the government of the
people by the people for the peo-
pie" Theodore Parker said that
democracy meant not I'm as
good rs you are" but You're as
good as am" And this is the
ethical conception of it, neces-
sary as a complement of the 9th
era conception which, could 1t
be made actual and practical,
would easily solve all the rid
dies that the old sphinx Of pO-
litical and social economy who
sits by the roadside has been
proposing to mankind from the
beginning and which mankind
have shown such singular tai
ent for answering wrongly. In
this sense Christ was the first
true democrat that ever breath
ed. As the old dramatist. Decker,
said, he WAS the first true gen
tleman.-James Russell Lowell.

Whence Came canaries7

The origin of the canary Is obscure
It seems probable that captive cana
ries were first secured from the Ca
nary islands, the group with which
they have so long been popularity as
ISOLATED. There are In Europe, how
ever, two closely allied forms from
which the dOmesticated canary may
have come. One of these, the bird
that is recognized as the "wild ca
nary" Is found in some of the Canary
Islands, Madeira and the Azores.
The other form, called the serin
finch, ranges through southern Eu-
rope and northern Africa, extending
eastward into Palestine and Asia MI
nor. In the wild state these forms are
very similar in color.

WANTS STANDARD THE SAME AS U. s. IN
 CURRENCY WEIGHTS

MANILA, Jan. 2. - Reformation of the Philippine currency system is provided for in a currency bill passed by the Philippine House and which seems certain of passage by the Senate. It must be submitted to the President for final approval. It proposes to reduce the weight of the bullion in Philippine currency to the standard of the United States, thus avoiding the danger which menaced the Island recently when the value of the actual silver in the peso reached 20 per cent. above the nominal value while the bullion value of subsidiary silver coins was dangerously near the face value.
 The bill also provides for the is sue by the government of paper notes of the value of one peso The lowest denomination bill here tofore issued by the government is of two pesos.

LIEUTENANT TELLS IMPRESSIONS OF
 TANK ATTACKS

BERNIE, Switzerland, Jan. D. Describing the battle of Cambrai to German readers, Lieutenant-Gener- al von Ardenne in the Tageblatt says: Those who fought in the battle describe the imposing i'm pression made by the British tanks which preceded the attack on the widest front. As they advanced in masses, with very small inter- vals between them, they reminded one of Hannibals battle elephants or the sickle chariots of Pharoah. The booming, rumbling attack was accompanied or rather supported from the air by a veritable cloud of battle aircraft, while closely pressed masses of infantry and field artillery followed the iron wall, three cavalry divisions bringing up the rear.'

ANOTHER PROOF THAT GERMANY
 IS DISHONEST
Violates Her Agreement with England, Dealing with Prisoners
 Work.

LONDON, Jan. 2. - Another proof of the German disregard of promises and agreements has been furnished in the British advance to- ward Cambrai. Some time ago Ger many signed solemn agreement with Great Britain providing that no prisoners of war would be em- ployed within 19 miles of the front line. But two Russian pris- oners were found by the British in German dugouts at Anneux, which was barely four miles from the lines as they lay at the opening oi the Cambrai attack. Moreover these Russians had seen party oi aG0 to 400 British prisoners a, work near Cambrai, about eight miles from the old front lines.
 The Russians told pitiful story of ill treatment and suffering. They had to subsist, under German regu lation, on half a pound of bread and some grass soup daily. A! punishment for minor offenscs the, were strung up to poles with theil feet just touching the ground. Mer were bayonetted or shot for refus al or inability to work, until. iron one cause or another, only 260 mel remained out of camp of 50, prisoners.

HOW GERMANS
 ARE EXECUTED AT THE FRONT
Writer Gives a Vivid Pic- ture of New Method Of Warfare Adopted
 by Kaiser.

FRENCH FRONT, Jan. 2.-German soldiers from some of the towns oi Prussia are sent to the front under armed guard "as criminals are led ,o the executioner," says a letter found on a dead German soldier, who was killed in a recent battle on the French front. The writer had given vivid description of the scene at the departure of a detach ment of achievements from Saar louis, town in Rhenish Prussia. The recruits were intended to fill the gaps in battalion which had suffered heavy losses The writer says:
 'The first battalion is ordered to furnish a reinforcing detachment of 99 men,. To escort them to the Saarlouis station 300 men have been ordered out, some of them with arms to march alongside the men going off and others to act as pickets )n the way to the station. The neR were all ready in the afternoon anu udG tp Walt TUT ooi4ic tliiiS ioi another squad of comrades from the first company of convalescents, who eventually arrived.
 What a scene, Ahead marched squad of guards and to the right and left of each file two armed guards. while another squad of guard brought up the rear to guard the German soldiers-our brave soldiers in field-grey, who, according to the naasnifcently phrased stories of the newspapers, dash forward full of joy and sustained by love of Fatherland 70 destroy our enemies.~
 "The detachment moved off with a band playing a march. The guards were so numerous that there was one for every two men of the departing detachment. Is it not scandal that our children in field-grey should he led to war to fight and shed theil blood in the same way as criminals are led to the executioner or, stil worse, like cattle to the slaughter house.? It was not sufficient thai | for hours beforehand-in fact iron | the moment of the announcemen of the departure of the detachment even soldiers who did not belong tt it were prevented from going into the town by sentinels posted ever, | five yards. No. it was considered necessary to submit the men to th' shame of marching to the depot un der guard.

 land while such things as thes' are happening? Verify it is a volun l tary sacrifice"

Caillaux was unfriendly, as the re- suit of a personal matter.

 On leaving the Chamber, Nj. Gail laux told the journalists he had re- futed all the allegations contained in the letter of General Dubail, Mil itary Goveronr of Paris, some which he declared to be absolute i ly forgeries.
 "The forgery industry" he add i cd, has not made progress since the days of Dreyfus. It rather has declined in quality, judging iron some of the forgeries in the accu- sations. They are so enormous thar they surpass probability"
 The Figaro explains that tht strained relations between Ambas sador Caillaux arose from the fac in Rome, Mmme. Earrere did no receive her. M. Caillaux complain cd to the French Foreign Mini ster, telegrams were exchanged ant Ambassador Barrere had to send Secretary to apologize to Mme. Gail laux.

GLOOMY VIEW IS PICTURED
 FOR GERMANY

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 2-A gloomy picture of Germany's future was painted by Grand Admiral Von Tir. pits' ipo his recent speech in Essen according to the Hamburg News Regarding a successful economic war against Germany after the war he said:
 Imagine the position if we simul taneously have to bear the burden of taxation which must fall on every German, and, despite the fallen value of German money, we still have tc buy the most necessary food and raw materials from abroad. Car anyone in his heart of hearts really believe that in these circumstances without an increase of power, with out indemnity and without security we could avoid Germany's rule"
 Germany's plight at the hands oi England he bemoaned as follows
 Not only has England taken oul colonies and Mesopotamia, but ev anywhere she had made deeper ant firmer bases for. her maritime an( colonial supremacy. She has tar nished and trodden down the pres tige and honor of Germany by un precedented falsehoods. In the whole transatlantic world we are consid cred as conquered and done for
