4 NEW
WORLDS
RECORD

We are informed in letter from
the Holstein-F riesian Association Of
America that new worlds butter rec
ord has just been established by the
pure-bred Holstein cow, Aaggie Acme
of Riverside ID Her official record
is 24,69O pounds of milk and 1,33177
pounds of butter in 365 days. Pre-
vious to this she had a semi-official
butter record for two years of 2,426.51
pounds of butter. This cow is owned
in California. She is the daughter of
King Mead of Riverside, who is the
sire of seven daughters with yearly
records. The dam of Aaggie Acme of
Riverside I'd is Aaggie Acme of River
side. This cow is also the dam of the
record cows sire, so that Aaggie I'd is
a sister to her own father.

Birthday of Christ

?. W.-Christ was born December
25. Why do we reckon the year be-
ginning January?
In the first place. the traditional
25th of December has no historical au-
thority beyond the fourth century,
when the Christmas festival was in
troduced first in Rome A. d. 5000, on
the basis Of several Roman festivals
(the Saturnalia. Sigillaria. Juvcnalia,
Brumalia, or Dies natalis InVicti Solis}
which were held in the latter part OF
December, n commemoration of the
golden age OF liberty and equality. end
in honor of the sun. who in the winter
solstice is. as it were born anew. and
begins his conQuering march The
only indication of the season OF
Christ's birth is .hc fact that the
shepherds we're watching their iiocks
in the field at the time Luke Ni. 81,
and this fact points to amy other sea-
son rather than winter, and is, there
fore, not favorable TO the traditional
date. Besides. the ancient tradition is
of no account here, as it varied down
to the fourth century. Clement, OF
Alexandria, relates that some regarded
the 25th' Pachon q; e, May 2o); others
the 24th or 25th. Pharmuthi (April 10
AS to modern research, the only
point on which divines generally agree
is that Christ WAS not born on Christ
mas Day, while numerous learned au-
thorities put the birth on almost every
date OF the year.
The Observance Of January as the
beginning OF the year we borrow from
the Romans. The fiyst Christian En-
perors kept up the custom Of New
Years observance, though it tolerated
and afforded the opportunity for idola-
trous rites, but later the Western
Church opposed three days OF peni-
tence and fasting to the Pagan celc-
bration of January "a. d. 4s7) BY
degrees. however. the Church. in the
eighth century, abrogated the fast, and
the earlier and more congenial jovial
customs were gradually resumed and
have continued TO the present

The Significance
OF Loustalot' S Trip

The talk seems to have been on the
possibility Of a separate peace with
France. under terms have already
mentioned in previous article, terms
communicated to Senator Humbert, of
lie Journal" by Munir Pacha. former
Turkish ambassador to France. Lous-
talot, confronted with this evidence,
insists that he went frankly to learn
what sort Of a proposition the ex-
Khedive had 20 make, and that when
he returned ne freely communicated
his adventure to his colleagues in the
Chamber. This is true, though at that
time the light Of investigation had
not yet been turned on the possible sig
nitcance of Loustalot's trip. Did he
make it as Caillaux's envoy? The ex-
Premier denies having any connection
with the Deputy's private little ma
nuuvrc in Switzerland. Yet it is GER
tan that the thing that obtained for
Loustalot the privilege of an audience e
with the eN-khedive was his free use
of Caillaux's name and the consequent
Importance he obtained from this as
sociation.
The whole situation is brought out
even more clearly by the visit Of Gail
laux to Italy the following month.

Charges Suggest More
Than They Reveal

The charges against Callaux consti-
tute a formidable list, as drawn up by
VI. Ignacc, Under Secretary of Military
Justice. They are more formidable as
to the vague possibilities they suggest
concerning the eXPremicrs ma
nnuvres in Italy than in their immcdi-
ate contents. The points have been

l In the homes of almost all the
A' traitors and near-traitors whose
names were grouped around the "Bon-
ret Rouge" scandal, the Bolo schemes
and the Oriental army affair were
found letters from Caillaux that leave
no doubt of his intimacy with them. A
close reading of such of these letters
as have been made public does not re-
veal Caillaux as a scheming leader of
a band of plotters. But they are a part
of the evidence, small fraction, which
vaguely points out Caillaux as aware
Of the existence in France of a sort of

General Antipathy
Felt for His Power

The end of the famous Clemenceau-
Caillaux duel is in sight. Honesty and
straight dealing have won. Clemen-
ceau has made mistakes in his long
career, but he has never by any ges-
ture caused doubt concerning the
strength of his devotion to his coun-
try. To that overpowerng sentiment
of patriotism must be attributed his
present attempt to bring to jusice, not
his personal enemy, but man he con-
siders an enemy of France.
The figure of Cailaux will tempt his
torians of the future. Throughout his
career he has aroused interesting antip-
athies not to be explained entirely By
his bold, assertive prsonality. 1t was
in general an antipathy to the power
of the man, an atmosphere that he cul-
tivated Of control and superiority over
all those in contact with him. lie has
never tried on big principles to teach
and guide the public His method lay
rather in dealing with individuals and
accomplishing his purposes through
power, not appeal

strength Around him will rally forces

ton. new creeds, unworthy by-products

Lithuanians

NJ. S.-P!easa give me few facts
about Lithuania and the history Of it's
people. the Lithuanans.
IithUania is region in Western
Europe which in the Middle Ages con-
stltutcd EN- Independent realm (grand
prlncipahty), united in 1869 with Po-
land into a single commonwealth. and
on the dismemberment of Poland
l1772, 1913. 1850 passed mainly to
Russia. AT the time of the partition
OF the Polish monarchy it extended
from Courland and Livonia on the
north TO No.hynia and the Ukraine OH
the south, and from Poland and East
Prussia on the west TO beyond the
Dnleper on the east. Its area was then
Approximately 100000 square miles.
The Lithuanian country proper is tho
land between The Lower Dwina and the
Niemen. Since 1910 the use of the
term has been forbidden IN Russian
Official language. but il is still com
monty employed to include Kovno,
Grodno, Nina and Suyalki govern
mcnts. The whole number of Lithua-
mans in Russia. according to the Ger,
sus OF 1897, was 3.094,f ,f6y. This num-
Der includes the Let's, Samogetians, or
Zhmud and the 100000 Boruss JAMS OF
the same origin inhabiting Russia.
Little Is known about the origin ef
the Lithuanians. and nothing known.
about the time of their appearance in
the country they now inhabit. From
the tenth century they have been di-
vided into the three chief branches Of
il Lithuanians proper, p Let's or
latvis, 80 Prussians. The Prussiana
have always apparently been confined
TO the Baltic coast near the Lower Wis.,
tula, chiefly to the east of the river;
they have been wholly absorbed by
German influences. The Let's, pushed
toward the north. have been largely
mingled with iha Livonians and Esth-
onians. The LitAuanians proper joined
with the Poles and FELL together with
them under Russian sway. The
Lithuanian tongue has great affinities
with the Slavonlc, but cannot be con-
s.dered a Slavonic language: it is by
Ear the most archaic Of all living Aryan
tongues. Before the union with Po-
land lbegan in 1sS6 and consummatei
in l569) the Lithuanians were either
pagan or Greek Orthodox The Polish
connection established the ascendancy

Attempt to Turn
Tables on Clemenceau

1t became evident, then, by the 10th,
four days after the beginning of pro-
ceedings, that the minds of the COM
missioners were not only upset by the
irreconcilablc conflict between the
statements made by Clemenceau and
Caillaux, but also that they were losing
the sense of certainty that they had
possessed in the first heat of their as
sumption of duty.
One commissioner said he believed
that Clemenceau had played joke on
the lot Of them. Others began to feel
that the accusations, so far as they
were maintained by the Dubal docu-
ment and by other supplementary ev-
dence, had fallen fiat. Minds began to
wander back to the Dreyfus case, when
the "industrie de faux" the fabrica-
tlon OF false papers, was as proficient
as it proved dangerous to the hunt
ed man. The commissioners finally
reached that point in their doubt where
they began to feel it necessary to call
BRAND and Clemenccau and galaxy
of leaders from whom they might OBJ
tain points Of guidance
The situation was more complicated
for moment by polemic started by
CaillauX supporters and aiming at
nothing less than the conviction Of
Clemenceau for the very accusation
that he was aiming at CailauX This
statement was published by NJ. Sembat,
Deputy from Paris. in "I'uumanite."
