else day of the week on which He was
cation. Sunday, on the contrary, the
day of Our Lords Resurrection, is
the day marked in the Creators de-
signs to express mystery which was
to be commemorated for all ages"
And yet we are not to suppose that
because the feast of Our Saviour's
birth is not fixed on any particular
day of the week, there is no mystery
expressed by it being always on the
twenty-ffth of December. For in the
first place the feast of Christmas is
kept by turns on each day of the week
to express that it's holiness extends to
all the sins of Adams children for
whose pardon the Son of God was
born. Moreover, the great Mystery
of the twenty-ffth of December being
the feast of the Nativity has reference,
not to the division of time marked out
by God Himself, which is called the
week, but to the course Of that great
luminary which gives life to the world
because it gives light and warmth.
Jesus Our Saviour, the Light of the
World, was born when the night of
idolatry and crime was the darkest;
| and the day of His birth, the twenty
fifth of December, is that on which
the material sun begins to gain as
| tendency over the region of gloomy
night, and show to the world the tri-
| umph of Light over Darkness.

CHRISTMAS SONG FOR THREE
GUILDS.
BY Gilbert X. chesterton in "opens"
THE CARPENTERS.

THE CARPENTERS.
st. Joseph to the Carpenters said on
Christmas Day:
THE master shall have patience and
the prentice shall obey;
And your word unto your women shall
be nowise hard or wild;
For the sake Of me, your master, who
have worshiped Wife and Child.
But softly you shall frame the fence,
and softly carve the door;
And softly plane the table-as to
spread it for the poor,
And all your thoughts be soft and
white as the wood OF the white
But if they tear the Charter, let the
tocsin speak for me!
Let the wooden sign above your shop
be prouder to be SCARED
Then the lion-shield of Lancelot that
hung at Joyous Garde."
THE SHOEMAKERS.
st. Crispin to the shoemakers said on
a Christmas-tide:
''Who fashions at another's feet will
get no good of pride.
They were bleeding on the Mountain,
the feet that brought good news
The latchet of whose shoes we were
not worthy to unloose.
See that your feet offend not, nor
lightly lift your head.
Tread softly on the sunlit roads the
bright dust of the dead.
Let your own feet be shod with peace
be lowly all your lives,
But if they touch the Charter, We shall
nail it with your knives.

HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS DAY.

It was not until the fourth century
that the Churches of the East began
to keep the feast of Our Saviour
birth in the month of December. UP
to that period they had kept it at one
time, on the sixth of January, thus
uniting it, under the generic term OF
Epiphany, with the manifestation OF
Our Saviour made to the Magi, and
in them, to the Gentiles; at another
time, as Clement of Alexandria tells
us, they kept it on the twenty-fifth OF
the month Pachon MAY 15) or on the
twenty-ffth of the month Pharmuth
april 20).
st. John Chrysostom, in the Homily
which he gave in 1856, tells us that
the Roman custom of celebrating the
birth of Our Saviour on the twenty
fifth of December had then only been
observed ten years in the Church OF
Antioch 1t is probable that this
change had been introduced in obedl-
ence to the wishes of the Apostolic
See, wishes, which received additional
weight by the edict of the Emperors
Theodosius and Valentian, which ap-
peared towards the close of the fourth
century, and decreed that the Nativ-
ity and the Epiphany should be made
two distinct feasts. The only Church
that has maintained the custom OF
celebrating the two mysteries on Jan
| uary 6, is that of Armenia, owing, nc
| doubt to the circumstance of the coun
| try's not being put under the author
| ity of the emperors, as also, because
| it was withdrawn, at an early period
| from the influence of Rome, by schisn
and heresy.
Everything is mystery in this holy

CITY Will Be Retained

FIUME, Dec. f8 (By The Associated
Press).-Obstacles to the withdrawal
of Captain Gabrielle d'Annunzio's forces
brought about new turn in the
Fiume situation to-day and may block
acceptance Of proposals made by Cen
eral Badoglio. Italian Chief of Staff,
Strong pressure is being exerted by
large number Of soldiers who wish to
remain in Fiume until formal annexa
tion to Italy is promised, and there
are also various elements of the an
nexationists waiting for stronger guar
antees, even insisting that the present
garrison be maintained here as a
regular Italian garrison, under the
command of d'Annunzio.
Feeling Is running at highest pitch
preparatory to announcement Of re-
suits of the plebiscite which was held
to discuss various phases of the ques-
ton. 1t was announced as open only
to citizens Of Fiume, but it was packed
with officers who had donned citizens
clothes to gain admission. Most Of the
rest of the audience was made up of
women and girls. There was some con-
fusion and heckling between the vari-
Gus groups, one man who ventured to
address the meeting a. "a Fiuman who
had fought for Italy" being sharply
questioned by spectator. who said
he was "a Fiuman who mad fought for
Austria-Hungary, because, being a
Fiuman, he was an Austro-Hungarian
subject"
The secretary Of the Fiume National
Council read the terms of the proposal
made by General Badoglio, urging it's
acceptance as tantamount to annexa-
ton to Italy.
This proposal" he declared, "says
the Italian government guarantees the
occupation of Fiume shall be by regu-
lar troops. exclusively italian. That
means they will not be British, French
or American. 1t means there will be
no foreign troops, mission, delegation
nor any representative of a foreign
army in Fiume"

Packing Industry
T0Be Reorganized
agreement to Diss0LUe Is
BOw to Public Opinion,
Say Chicago Meat Men

CHICAGO, Dec. 1s.-Segregation or
disposal of commercial lines not di
rectly allied with the meat and pro-
vision business of the five great
packing companies, as agreed upon
between them and the United States
Attorney General and announced by
the latter to-day, will involve reorgani
zation of huge industry, with assets
Of more than 100000, according
to the packers.
The agreement was regarded by the
packers as marking an epoch in IN
dustry In that, for the first time, big
business bows to public opinion, rec
ognizing it as one of the basic supports
Of commerce.
The packers say that heretofore they
have conducted their business upon eco
Monies and legality. They have been
sure of their economics and equally GER
tain of the legality of their business
methods, they say, and now they have
taken account of the good will of the
public.
In diverting their lines not directly
connected with the meat and provision
business many organizations with sepa-
rate Identities, involving millions of
capital, are expected to come into being
Some of them already had begun the
segregation process.
In the reorganization the firm names
OF Armour e. Co., Swift g. Co., Morris
& Co., Wilson & Co. and the Cudahy
Packing Company are expected to be
absent from the controlling boards of
the corporations.
The five big packing companies will
be restricted to meats and provisions.
including butter, eggs. poultry and
cheese. While prohibited under the
agreement from owning stockyards,
stoclSyard terminals and other inter
ests not directly related to meats and
provisions, they were not separated
from ownership of refrigerator car
lines, but the use of such cars was re-
stricted to handling their meat busi-
ness.
According to packers representa-
tivcs. soap, glue. cleansing powder and
fertilizer manufacturing is directly
connected with meat business and will
be retained
Groceries, canned fruits and vegc-
tables, cereals and leather were among
the side lines expected to be dropped
by the packing companies to other
concerns.
Swift G. Co. already have segregated
their leather canned fruit and vegc-
table business.
Armour & Co. do not manufacture
cereals, which. it was explained, is the
province Of the Armour Grain Com
pany, although the former company had
distributed the latter's product Will
son & Co. also have disposed of their
groceries.
All statements from the packers to-
night reaffirmed that they had violated
no laws, that their agreement with the
Attorney General implied no guilt on
their part, but they had encountered
prejudice which they wished to eradi-
cate.
