ar" states.
Washington, April 9th.-tVoluntary in
stead of compulsory universal military
training as proposed by the army re-or-
ganization bill was adopted today by the
Senate. AS adopted the plan which the
War Department is to put in force dur
ing the calendar year of nineteen twenty
two, provides that all men between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-eight years
would be eligible for four months train
ing in any one year they might elect.
London, April 10th. Notwithstanding
the insistence Of France that there was
no alternative for her, in the clrcumstan
ces, except the occupation of German
tie rritOry, and her denial of the state
ment th~t she acted without W2rning,
officials here view frances note as con-
ciliatory, because of the expressed de-
sire of France for an allied conference.
This view is emphasized by the fact that
Mr.. Lloyd George left today for San Re-
mo, though it was stated yesterday he
might postpone his departure. Mr.. Lloyd
George did not attend the meeting OF the
Supreme Council which was held this
morning, and Lord Curz0n was also not
present because of illness. 1t was sta
ted that the council did not discuss the
German situation, but continued to work
on the lurklS0 treaty. Al OC1lSL Ol1NClol
quarters the French note is considered
to have relieved the tension of yester-
day.
London, April 10th. The declaration
that the allies repeatedly declined o sane
ton an advance Of French troops east
of the Rhine, and that the statements
by M. Millerand and other French mi J.
listers give the impression that France
would abstain from single handed action
against Germany, is contained in a note
outlining the British attitude sent to
Paris, says the Times" emphasis is laid
on the fact that grave problems in con
~nection with the execution OF the YER
sailles treaty may arise in the future,
and it is assumed that France will not
act again on her own initiative, other
wise the work of the peace confere@ce
NAV become futile. Reports from Paris
saving that France has been told that
Lord Derby would be instructed not to
participate in the conference of ambassa-
doris in Paris until France had given an
assurance that she would in future act
in unison with her allies, are confirmed
nv the Times, which says it has learn
ed hat the French African troops, which
originally occupied Frankfort, have been
repIaced by European forces, it being ex-
blamed that the Africans were only used
because they were the nearest to rank
fort and with the view of taking swift
action.

man.
Paris, April 18th. The Press comment
favourably on a proposal by the London
Cabinet relative to the disarmament of
Germany, collective representations by
the Allies not having always obtained
the desired result. They applaud the
attitude of England and trust that her
proposition t~estifies to a happy evolution
of her policy. Nj. Millerand, in the course
Of a newspaper interview, denies the
obligations of certain Italian newspapers,
attributing the occupation of Frankfort
and Darmstadt 10 a desire for annex
alton and as a manifestation of the spirit
of militarism. He declared that France
was not animated by any hostile senti-
ment or spirit of vengeance towards
Germany, and only required the pay
ment of what was due to her. He added
that the Allies should be aware of Ger
many until she was disarmed. He also
expressed his conviction that friendly
Italians better informed, would recognize
that militarism did not reside at Paris,
but at Berlin.
Paris, April 14th. The Allies have
taken the initiative for a collective note
for obtaining from Berlin the strict exc
cution of the clauses of the Treaty rela-
tive to disarmament, and in case of re-
tuSal by Germany, the QenVery OF 1000
will cease. This action by the Allies is
fully justified by the bad faith of Ger
many visible in all directions.
Paris, April 15th.-A despatch to the
journal states that the Govt. has
decided, as a precautionary measure, to
guard the approaches to the Govt. offices
and other public buildings, and has
stationed Is large tanks and 20 machine
guns at various points. A new conspi-
racy is feared, having for its object the
Selling of power and an Alliance with
Soviet Russia for resuming the war
against France. The Wolff Bureau states
that General Luttwitz and Major Nos
choff have been arrested.
San Reno, April 18th. Premier Nitti,
accompanied by General Radoglio, has
arrived here.

Washington, Chief of the Bureau of

investigating the part played by the

navy could not be saved from disaster.
He said the American Navy had been
going down hill rapidly since July 1915,
and told the Committee that the deser-
tions during the last half Of 1919 totalled
1866 men, including 1000 petty officers
and if the present conditions continue,
he asserted, the Navy not only will be
undermined by 1921, but a large per

literally in misfortune. He hoped more

JEWISH PEOPLE
OBSERVE FEAST
OF LIGHTS TODAY
Holiday Known as Chanukah
to be Ushered This
Evening.

This evening, an impressive minoi
holiday OF the Jewish calendar
known as Chanukah will be ushered
in. II will be observed for eight
days by all Jewish people in a spirit
OF cheerfulness and good will. While
no special service IS held in the syn
agOg for Chanukah. certain addi-
tional sections are incorporated in
the ritual which are read at this
time. These selections are keyed

Of the triumph of right over might
the central theme of the Chanukah
festival.
The Feast of Dedication, as Chan
ukah IS called. commentaries the
stirring events in Palestine from les
10 165 y. G. +. In those fateful
years, Antiochus Epiphanes, the
King Of Syria, wishing to unite all
the provinces under his dominion
into one nation, issued a decree that
only the Greek religion was 10 be
practiced throughout his empire. To
enforce his royal mandate and sup
press the religion of the Jews the
sacred scrolls Of the law were burn
ed and the Temple Of Jerusalem de
filed by erection of affairs for the
worship Of idols and the introduce
tion of practices antagOnistic 10 the

Christmas trees vary in size from
TO IS feet In height, and trees
with perfect whorls Of branches are
most sought for. Prices vary from
25 or 30 cents up TO S35 or $oV'
There Is very little profit in the
business for those who furnish the
material These are mostly farmers
and owners of woodlots who look
upon the trees as a gift Of nature,
and In selling them consider only the
labor Of cutting and hauling and not
the labor and expense required 20
grow the trees.
Agc-OId Custom.
Very commonly the question -
"a ised as TO whether the cutting and
use of these trees for Christmas pur-
poses is not a great waste. and
whether steps should not be taken
TO discourage or prohibit II. In the
opinion OF department officials the
custom is so old. so well grounded
and so venerated, that even If II
were economically somewhat indie
feasible. these aspects will and
should continue TO outweigh econ
ornIc considerations. 1t is denied
however. that pure economic consid-
eratfOns would lead 10 the abandon
ueut of the Christmas-tree custom.
Trees are for use, they argue, and
there is no other use 10 which they
could be put that would contribute
so much to the JOY of mankind as
their use by children on this one
great holiday OF the year. Further
particularly IN the northeastern
states. a large proportion of the

ing or from land which would be

is true that III the vicinity OF large

This Cf course. should be disc0ur-
aged.
That the use OF Christmas trees
as perfectly compatible, however.
with the Welfare OF the forest Is fully
proved by the practice in the Euro
rean forests. The cutting OF small
trees for Christmas Is not there con
sIdered in the least as menace TO
the forest but as means Of improv-
ing the forest and a source Of rev
cnue, and is therefore constantly en-
cOuraged. IL is not by DENYING our
selves the wholesome pleasure of

Ga Mark for removal the trees
which are crowding these better
specimens.
C4) Cut as many Of these inferior
trees as there is a suitable market
FOR. Cut them carefully to avoid

CD Remove them carefully from
the area and market them in accord
ance with instructions from the buv-
er TO avoid any cause for dispute.

moral sensibniues Of the Jewish peo-
pie.
Starts Revolt.
The imperialisuc policy which the
mailman of Syria sought 10 impose
on his Palestinian subjects precipi-
tated a revolt which led TO warfare
in which Judas Maccabeus. son of
Mattathias. a priest OF Modin. (the
arch rebel Of the revolt, and his
four heroic brothers eventually de
feated the Syrians. This final VIC
tory over all the Syrian armies hap
pened on the 25th day of kislev &C
cording TO the Hebrew calendar, IN
the year 165 B. c. z. On this
eventful day the idols set up by the
Svrians for the rites OF their Greek
religion were removed and the Tenn
pie rededicated to the service of the
God OF right and truth and justice.
Many legends cluster about the
feast Of Chanukah and have been
preserved in the Books OF the Gao
cabees. The martyrdOm Of Hannah
and her sons who, rather than sub
nit TO the idOlatry OF their oppres-
sors. yielded 10 the sword of the
tyrant, IS among the impressive
stories Of loyalty and heroic devo-
ton to the God Of Israel. There
are other legends recounting the
miraculous capacity OF a cruise of
unpolluted oil burning for eight days
i'm the Temple after its redediCauOn.
The kindling Of lights for eight
days. traced by some authorities 10
this legend. is one of the measures
enioined for it's celebration. In
home and school. entertainments eX-
pressive Of cheer and gladness are
arranged. Chanukah, however, eel
ebrates the ascendancy of the spir-
itual over the material. OF tho
power Of right over the strength
Of oppression. II remind us that
a few and feeble people betrOthed
unto righteousness. may prevail over
armed foes that mako might their
law Of life.
