FLEET TO PLAY
 SANTA CLAUS

Venice, Dec. 23.-The American fleet in the Adriatic will act as Santa Claus for more than twenty thouS- and persons. including some Russian refugee children recently risembark- ed on the Dalmatian coast. The ben eficfaries of the fleets Christmas spirit will receive toys, candy, fruit, clothing, tnr shaes, done up in small packages.
 The Russian children. just landed in Dalmatia with their fathers and mothers, who escaped the Bolshevik sweep in South Russia, suffred tntol- erable hardships on the merchant were packed in the ships so tightly as to be unable to move with hun dreds in the holds among the coal or other supplies, standing or. sitting in vidtua1ly the same position for twenty days.
 As no provision had been made for their arrival in Dalmatia, the Ameri- can fleet undertook the work Of car ing for them. Rear Admiral Philip
 Andrews, commander of the Ameri- can warships in the Adriatic, whose headquarters is here authorized the fleet to do what it could, meanwhile telegraphing to American Red Cross headquarters in Paris for help, in re- sponse to which appeal he received telegra phic allotment Of 250.000 francs.
 The Olympic was then stationed at Ragusa, on the Adriatic, thirty eight miles northwest of Cattaro into which thousands of refugees were pouring. Kitchens were set up to provide food for the refugees. and baths and houses were furnished. Requests were sent to Admiral An drews for vaccine and other medi- cines, and he immediately sent men to Milan to buy the necessary mendi- caments. All were loaded and reach ed their destination along the Dalma- tian coast in thirty-six hours, United States destreyers taking them aboard at Venice.

LODGE TALKS AT PLYMOUTH
 PILGRIM DAY

Plymouth. Mass. Dec. 23-A mes sage from the lives of the Pilgrim Fathers and fulfiI1ment of a prophecy made here by Eaniel Webster 100 years ago marked the formal exer- cises Tuesday before a distinguished audience in observance of the 300th anniversary of the landing of the Pll- grims. The message was delivered by Senator Lodge. orator of the oc- casion. The prophecy was fulfilled by Governor Calvin Coolidge, vice presid
 Senator Lodge said the message of the Pilgrims was to be found in their lives, which showed a strong and active sense of public duty, obedience to the law and the placing of spiritual above economic values.
 While the great Republic is true in heart and deed to the memory of the Pilgrims of Plymouth, it will take no detHment even. from the hand of time" was his peroration.
 In the midst of his address. just after he had spoken of the signif1- canoe of Webster's speech, a tele- phone bell rang. The Senator went from those who shall stand here a hundred years hence the voice of ac- clamation and gratitude. commenc- ing on the Rock of Plymouth, shall be transmitted through millions of sons of the Pilgrims till it lose itself in the murmurs of the Pacific seas" !" The bell rang again and the receiver was lifted. Across the Continent came a voice from California. A moment later Governor Coolidge, speaking from the chair of a Cover nor of Plymouth Colony. delivered a greeting to Governor Stephens and the Golden Gate from the Governor of Massachusetts and from Plymouth Rock.
 A poem was read by Dean Le Baron R. Briggs; of Harvard Univer- sity, and Governor Coolidge made a brief address. The audience included ambassadors and representatives of foreign governments, governors of states, Congressnen, members of the judiciary of state and nation, literary lights and civic celebrities. In a hundred of the 900 seats in the little hall sat those not favored with tickets, among them decendant o1 the fathers in the ninth generation, mill hands of a year or two residence here, still faulty in their English school children and visitors from distant states. To express their more intimate sentiment the townsfolk held a supplement service of prayer, poem and speech.

FANS PROVIDE VENTILATION
 IN TUNNEL

New York, Dec. 23.-A puzzled public in New York and New Jersey and in other parts of the country - has been wondering how the mas project of the wagon and auto tunnel under the Hudson propose to keep the air clear.
 Clifford M. Holland, chief engineer for the New York Bridge and Tunnel commission and the New Jersey In terstate Tunnel commission, under whose joint auspices the tunnel will be built, supplied the answer today.
 There is hardly a day that pass es,' said MT. Holland. ''that I am not asked how we expect to keep the tunnel from being filled with gas from the constant stream of automo- piles that will pass through this g. 900 feet long below-the-river pass age.
 The answer is simple. We pro- pose to force fresh air into the tun- nel and draw the foul air out of it precisely as is being done every day itorium. where thousands of persons are congregated. only on much vaster scale. of course.
 t'The tunnel will be 5000 feet long, but the points of ingress and egress of fresh and foul air Will not be separated that distance.
 There will be four huge shafts. or chimneys,- leading into the tunnel which. will be 3,40o feet apart at the farthest. At the top of these shafts there will be big power houses with fans which will supply ventilation much as it is furnished in the mines. There will be two kinds of fans, blower fans ;~, exhaust fans,'' the former forcing fresh air into the tunnel. and the latter drawing the bad air out of it.
 By this system the air in the tun- nel will be changed at least once every two minutes
