CHRISTMAS AND THE TREATY.

One beneficent effect of the spirit
of the Christmas season may be the
injection of a little peace and good
will into the United States senate,
with particular regard to it's handling
Of the peace treaty.
The mood in which previous deliber-
ations on the treaty have been con-
Quoted was certainly out of harmony
with the spirit prevalent today. Christ
mas throws a soft Illumination over
controversies, blurring their sharp
outlines and inpelling men to mutual
understanding and sympathy. It
makes the desire for peace more i'm
pelling than ever, and moves states
men, as well as common folk, to
seek. peace less with their brains and
more with their hearts. Logical dis
tinction and technical differences and
points Of partisan vantage seem of
less value. Goodwill demands its
proper, paramount place in public az
fairs as in private affairs.
Something Of this influence has
been observed at Washington in the
last week or, two. There is an evident
tendency on the part of the quarrelling
senators to get together on the peace
treaty, and adopt a sensible compro-
mise There is more OF disposition
to see that it, may be possible to set
up proper safeguards for America and
yet preserve the effectiveness Of the
League of Nations, and that proper
regard for American rights is not in
consistent with fair and friendly
treatment Of the powers by whose
side we fought the war.
The senate will very likely be ready,
after the holidays, to agree on set
of reservations. And f the senate
agrees, it may be expected that the
president will agree.

varieties are found in the mountains,
though hunting on Bogda Oh .(Bud-
dha's Mountain) is prohibited.
"Urga was formerly the residence

Australia end New Zealand.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The pro-
posal made by Viscount Jellicoe that
a powerful Far Eastern fleet be Gre
ated, toward which Australia would
be expected to contribute 20 per cent
and New Zealand five per cent, again
calls attention to the growing i'm
portance of a far away corner Of the
world.
Usually, in our mental geography,
Australia and New Zealand are con-
veniently grouped, yet one Of the first
surprises awaiting the tourist from
the Northern Hemisphere is to find
that Australia and New Zealand may
not be regarded as two islands Of
like appearance, differing mainly in
size; near neighbors which may be
trea-ed as a unit" says communica-
ton to the National Geographic So
ciety from Herbert E. Gregory.
New Zealand is nearly twice as
far from Australia as Bermuda ls
from New York, and is not only east
but also south.
-Four days travel across chilly
sea is required for the traverse from
Wellington to Sydney, and after ex-
changing chill midsummer climate of
the New Zealand Lake region for the
heat of Adelaide, one readily accepts
the evidence Of the map that the
southern coast Of the Australian main
land has the latitude of central New
Jersey, while the sOuthernmost OF
the three islands which comprise the
Dominion Of New Zealand occupies
the position Of southern Newfound-
land.
"In climate and vegetation the
two don1inions are as unlike as Nor
way and South Carolina. New Zea-
land is a land of mountains, gorges,
rivers, and fords. The higher peaks
of the South Island are eternally
snow-capped and the glaciers Of its
southern Alps rival those OF Swltzer-
land. The surrounding seas are too
cold for corals. Among the noun
tains of the North Island volcanic
fires are still active and the geysers
and hot springs are little less impress
sive than those of the Yellowstone
Park. The aboriginal inhabitants OF
New Zealand. at the time Of their
discovery by Captain Cook, were the
most advanced Of all the South Pa
cifc races, while the aborigines Of
Australia are the lowest in inteli-
gence Of all human beings.
Australia is in no sense inferior to
New Zealand in geographic interest,
but lofty peaks. profound canyons,
and active volcanoes are lacking; its
rivers are unilor- 7sivc and its per
manent lakes small and few il, num-
her; it is continent comnosed OF
plains interrupted j, by ridges aud
mountain knobs"

Mongolia. Which China VIII Control
Again.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Dispatches
stating that China again will control
Mongolia prompted the National Geo
graphic Society to issue the following
bulletin:
Mongolia is one of the most in
teresting countries in the world today
and also one Of the most primitive,
says the bulletin, which is based on
a communication to The Society
from Ethan C. LeMunyon.
1.-The Inhabitants in many ways re-
semble our own North American In
dams. They have a written language,
are blindly devoted to the Buddhist re-
ligion, and are very fanatical. The
lamas, or Buddhist monks, are the
curse Of Mongolia and are parasites
living on the religious credulity Of
their lay brethren. Every third man
in Mongolia is a Lama.
The highlands of Mongolia vary
in altitude from 5000 to $500 feet.
There are many mountain ranges, and
in very few places is the country lev
ell for any considerable distance. The
word Cobb means barren or desolate
plain Vegetation is absent on the
Cobb desert, with the exception of
few grasses, so that argol Cor dried
camel dung) is the only fuel used. 1t
is collected and stored in large guam
titles for use during the winter.
Water is scarce, a few wells along
the caravan route furnishing the en-
tire supply. During the winter and
spring the camel is the only animal
that can cross the desert and subsist
on the dried-up grasses. At this sea-
son of the year blocks Of ice are car
ried for the water supply, and at 9TH
er seasons two large tubs are carried
on each camel used for this purpose,
one trb on each side of the camel.
"The medium of exchange is the
Chinese tael Gan ounce Of silver.)
Small squares or cubes Of pressed
silk are also used, but brick tea Will
pass current COR barter in any part Of
Mongolia. Tobacco is also used for
this purpose. The trade is IN the
hands of the Chinese, with the eN-
ception OF the Russian traders in
Urga. There is a Russian and also q
Chinese postoaice in Ursa. Both
maintain a pony express route across
the Gohi; the time is days.
'.Mongols look on the dead IN a diff
fcrent light from the Chinese, and
their dead are taken just outside the
town and thrown down. The dogs

CHILDREN NEED
WHOLESOME FOOD

At least one-fifth Of all the school
children in the United States are un-
der-nourished today. it has been estl-
mated. This condition is not the re-
suit, as in many lands, of lack OF
food but comes about because IN
many cases American mothers are
not giving their children the right
kinds of food. The right kind is not
necessarily more expensive than the
wrong kind and oftentimes costs less.
An undernourished child is physical
ly, mentally, and sometimes morally
below par and shows it in appear
ance, school work, and conduct.
In order to arouse the attention OF
parents to the necessity Of giving
child proper food, at many fairs home
demonstration agents, working under
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture and the State agricultural
colleges, have measured and weigh
ed the children brought to them at
their booths At the Windsor Far
in Connecticut 1T boys and girls
were weighed and measured by the
home demonstration agent. The ma
jority were from 8 to u years OF
age. Of the S5 boys who were
weighed, As were under weight OF
the 80 girls, 55 were underw2isht.
Arrangements have been made with
the home economics conittec OF the
town to follow up the cases where
there were marked signs of malnu-
triton. The children themselves were
much interested and were keen about
learning how to gain weight Hno
health. Bulletins on child feeding
and suggestions as to change of diet
were received with appreciation.
Talks on proper diet for chltd
are sometimes given to the children
in school rooms. In Pottawatamle
County, Iowa, the home demonstra-
ton agent in September talked 20 8
029 children in schools on the value
Of milk, cereals, and vegetables N
their diet.
When possible second weighing is
made several weeks after the first
talk. when the children have had
time to obtain results fronl chanSin2
their diet. The :nlproHea'snt i>
