OLD MORSE MYTH
Describes the End of All Visible
 Creation.
Ample Warning to Be Given Before the Great Day of Destruction-New Heaven and New Earth
 to Arise.

Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods, is an old myth of the Morse gods. It was a firm belief of the northern na- tions that time would come when all the visible creation, the gods of Val halla and Nifiheim, the inhabitants of Jotunheim, Elfheim and Midgard, to- gether with their habitations, would be destroyed. The fearful day of de- struction will not. however, be with out warning. First will come a triple winter, according to the myth, during which snow will fall from the four cor ners of the heavens, the frost severe. the wind piercing, the weather tempes- tuous and the sun will impart no glad ness. Three such winters will pass without being tempered by a single summer, the story goes. Three other similar winters will follow, during which war and discord will spread over the universe. The earth itself will be afraid and begin to remble. the sea will leave its basin, the heav- ems will tear asunder; men will per fsh in great numbers, and the eagles of the air will feast upon their still Quivering bodies. Then the wolf Fen rfs will break his bonds. the Midgard serpent will rise out of his bed in the sea and Loki, released from his bonds, will join the enemies of the gods Amidst the general devastation the sons of Muspelheim will rush forth un- der their leader Surter. before and be- hind whom are flames and burning fire. And, according to the myth. they will ride onward over Bifrost, the rainbow bridge, which breaks under the horses hoofs. But they. disregarding its fall, direct their course to the battlefield called vigrfd. Thither also repair the wolf Ferris, the Mdgard serpent, Lok, with all the followers of Hela, and the Frost giants.
 Heimdall now stands up and sounds the Giallar horn to assemble the gods and heroes for the contest. The gods advance, led by Odin, who, engaging the wolf Ferris, falls victim to the monster. Ferris is, In turn, slain by Vithar. Odin's son. Thor wins great renown by killing the Midgard serpent, D06 ECNUhAAks A2hS NSdO1 b0AoSatSo with the venom which the dying mon ster vomits over him.

The new earth, ffllad wtsh abundant supplies, will produce It's fruits without. labor or care. wsessdness and misery will no more be haswn and the gods and men will live happily together, so says this myth of the Norsemen.

Whisky in Pig Carcasses.

Canada is no oasis in the American Sahara and illicit liquor trafficking is being developed into a fine art, ac- cording to an illustrated article in Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. All man. ner of clever lodges are resorted to by the whisky runners, possibly one of the most original being the shipment of a large consignment of liquor packed in the carcasses of pigs.

PART PAY ON THEIR BOARD
Coed Thing If Some Other IdIers Would Follow the Example of
 Tnis 5riefIess Lawyer.

Sti'l. one must conclude. humanity is progressing. A lawyer who is oc- cupied most of his days in smoking a briar pipe with his feet higher than his head got ashamed of himself and is raising a patch of potatoes. Now, that will be all clear gain to the use ful production of the world. Suppose all the men who are principally en- gagged in polishing the seat of their pants come to similar state of mind Suppose all the fellows who are camp ing around the streets and offices wait ing to snare a vagrant dollar should get the idea that they ought to pro- duce something useful and help pay their board to the world. Suppose this impossible situation-suppose that they all become ashamed of them selves and produce a few potatoes or beans. or even spinach or carrots. Why. the bins and granaries of the world would be simply bursting with food. We might be short many things. but not food.
 lot of people who are paying their board with talk could make a wonder ful increase in food production if they decided to go to work.
 We would not only have more food, which Is highly desirable, but we would have less talk; the service would cut two ways.
 The other morning man in a car came down the street at about 90 an hour and blew me on. the crossing. It looked like case of emergency. I thought, at the least, that he was taking somebody to the hospital. or 1t might have been a body to the morgue, or a case of murder and he was going after the police. So checked him down into the next block and watched him go into his office, take of his coat, light a cigar, and sit down at his desk and read a magazine. fr What do you suppose was his hur- ryf R- ''.s '- v .. ''.'''t.
 This man could handle ten acres of potatoes handily on his lost time. and at the same time cease blowing peo- pie of the street crossings. That would cut two ways, too. .-

ST. CROlX STATION.

London, Dec. 18th. The reports of
the LabOurlCommissiOn's inquiry into
conditions in Ireland made public yester-
day declared that eye witnesses to the
burning of Cork ARE unanimous in stat
ing that the fires were caused by crown
forces. The results cf the inquiry
were officially presented yesterday at a
Joint meeting of the National Executive
and the Parliamentary Labour Party and
it was decided that a committee should
wait on the Premier to urge further eff
forts for a truce in Ireland. The report
saws. "A number of witnesses inter
viewed are prepared. if given adequate
guarantees for their future safety, to
substantiate on OATH, this statement OF
fact as presented. The. destruction is
declared to have been systematic, incen-
diaries having sought out the most valu-
able premises in the town and put into
execution a rreconceived plan. 1t is
further charged the fires were started
only after the crown forces had forced
the people in doors. The Commits
sion says, shortly before y O'Clock
auxiliary police and black and tans APP
peared in a large number OF streets IN
the city, and at the revolver point be-
fore actual firing took place drove the
people into their homes earlier than the
curfew regulations required. This was
remarked by the citizens as ominous
and increased the nervousness which
was caused by the ambush at Dillon's
Cross. The streets were entirely desert
ed. and the work of destruction was be-
gun. An eye witness is quoted as
testifying. Black and Tans or auxiliary
police or both were the incendiaries",

ENTENTE REPLIES l
 ID WILSON NOlF
SUPREME COUNCIL HANno SWER IN ADRIATIc ArrS, AN
 TO EMBASSY. :"
CONTENTS NOT DISCLOSE
Discussion As To Publishing the r... of Correspondence Is Left to ~ the President-London Ia
 Much Surprised.

London.-The American embassu engaged in coding and forwardinS Washington the reply of the s,,nrsu Council to President Wilson's Adr,al fmsus note, which it is hoped will ba ia r '@,o q, hands of the Washington goyernmsa 'as soon. = A'lieal
 The council made it known in :. daily semi-official communicated the newspapers that it does not n,s pose to make public the corresnoas M ence, so that the question of wbetaas the text of the note will be eivar the world rests with President WI, son. f Since the main facts are nbu. property, namely, that the presidsns strongly objects to the solution os the Italian-Jugo-Slav problem bv tbs application of the treaty of Lopdon thereto and objects so strongly as x contemplate Americas Eithdrawol from the Versailles compact as a ma, sibility, and that the council obiects to the reopening of the question, the undecided point is whether the argu. ments exchanged shall be published while the controversy is hot on ths anvil.
 The statement from Washington confirming the first reports that the president had intimated that reiee. tion of his policy might be followed by diplomatic reprisals furnished an. other surprise to the politicians and the public, who, outside a small but important circle which meets twice daily in Downing street, and the ad yisers in the confidence Of this group experienced the greater surprise be- cause 1t came close on the heels of other Washington messages, intimat ing that only American retirement from it's part in the policing of the Adriatic was intended.
 The council issued an emphatic de nial of French newspaper reports that 1t was persuaded to modify the first draft of the note to President Vii. son by intervention of yiscount Grey, Lord Robert Cecil and Austein Cham berlain, chancellor of the exehequer. The susceptibilities of the non-British members of the council formed one of the factors behind this denial, be cause the story was calculated to giVe the impression on the continent that the British were dominating tle COZ ference.
 The feeling at Italian headquarter! in London with respect to the presl dents action is strong. Unofficially it is spoken of as an attack upol Italy. and his memorandum is descrlD ed as an ultimatum.

Washington. = The conference re port on the railroad bill, reorganizing the transportation system of the coun- try and designed to usher in a new era of railroad development and pri- vate ownership and operation, was re- ported to both houses of Congress-
 Federation of Labor officials and leaders of the railway unions, which ar opposed to the bill, particularly the labor sections providing for com pulsory investigation of wage disputes went into conferecene as soon as the text of the conference was available They will swing all their influence to- ward the defeat of the bill in Con- gross or its veto by the president.
 Representative of the railway in- vestors announced their satisfaction with the financial provisions of the measure. There will be strong oppo- sition to the conference report in the House, where it is to be acted on after five hours debate, but the leaders are confident the measure will be approv- ed. The Senate is expected to act on the bill on Tuesday unless the House should reject it. The only conferees who refused to sign the report are Representative Barkley of Kentucky. and Sims of Tennessee, Democrats. They will lead the opposition in the House.
 The outstanding feature of the pro- posed law is the direction of the H. terstate Commerce Commission to es- tablish rates that will yield to the carries in each rate1making group a net railway operating income equal to 5 1-2 per cent of the aggregate property value of the roads in such rate-making group. The commission may add to the 1-2 per cent one half of one per cent for additions, better ments and improvements, which under the accounting rules of the comnfs- sion are charged to capital account. Earnings in excess of six per cent will be divided equally between eaea carriers reserve. fund and the federal general railroad contingent fund, which will be administered by the commission in aiding the development of transportation by loans to carriers and the purchase of equipment to be leased to carriers. The percentage o1 return as prescribed in the bill will remain in fleet for two years beyond March 1, 1920.

MANY THEORISTS
 SEIZED IN RAID
GROUP CALLED MOST DEADLY TO THE UNITED STATES TAKEN
 BY SECRET SERVICE MEN.

Paterson, N. J-Twenty-nine radi- calls, said by Secret Service agents to include the most dangerous terror ists in the United States-members of notorious LEra Nuovva group whose creed is assassination and violence by individuals without waiting for mass action, were captured by 100 pick ed agents of the Department of Jus tice in a dramatic raid on Red" headquarters here. Warrants had been sworn for 32, but three escaped.
 All official records of the I. W. W. for the entire district east of Chi cago were seized in the home of An drew Graziano, anarchist Tn this house, federal agents said, E. F. Doree Philadelphia secretary of the l. w w., was in hiding. He is under indiete ment in Chicago, and is alleged to have moved the records from Chicago to Philadelphia, thence to Paterson. Leaders, osters, and statements of financial transactions covering the cities of Chicago, New York, Boston. Philadelphia, New Bedford, Roehes- ter and elsewhere, were seized.
 The most important capture, fed eral officials said, was that of Lud- ivico M. Caminetta, editor of the Italian anarchist magazine, La Jac- queric CThe Massacre.) The printing office was raided, and as the federal agents entered they found printers running off an I. ". W. pamphlet en- titled, "The Truth About Centralia." " The library of Fermino Gallo, said to be the most complete collection of anarchistic literature in the United States, also was raided Truck loads of infiammatory literature were con- 1 fiscated here and in othe places, also quantity of reyolvers.
 Every anarchist captured was armed. The raiders were led by Frank R. Stone, head of the New Jersey division of the Department of Jus. tice. who detailed six of his men to each arrest in view of the reputed desperate character of the 5 men sought.
 Caminetta is a disciple of Enrice Malatesta, who founded the L'Era NuoVa group 25 years ago. Bresci the assassin of King Humbert of Italy, belonged to this coterie. Nal testa came to this country from Italy to spread the propaganda of ter rorist-individualist, anarchy He was highly educated and was said to be a member of titled family of Italy
