of Numerous Arrests.

The arrest of five members of the
chamber of deputies Of Mexico, two
generals and number of other high
ranking officers of the army and
more than fifty civilians. because of a
demonstration in favor of Gen. Obre-
gon on the occasion of a public re-
ception to Ambassador Bonillas, has
added to the tensity of the political
situation in Mexico, according to ad-
vices received here today through
official channels. and the threat of a
new revolution has become more open
than before in the Mexican capital.
ObreEon Vigorously Cheered.
The cheers for Obregon were so
pronounced that Bonillas. GOV. Fed
erico Monies and Candido Aguilar
son-in-law of President Carranza and
an avowed supporter of Bonillas were
disturbed.
The police. declaring that the Oh
regop demonstration was insulting to
BonillaS and his friends. charged the
crowd and arrested more than fifty
After being taken to the police sta
ton they were accused of throwing
into the air powdered arsenic and
other powders. causing sneezing and
irritation, and of strewing tacks in
the streets to interfere with the op-
Grafton of the Bonillas party's auto
.,:obiles.
ReIease Effected With Difficulty.
The five deputies arrested were re-
leased only after great excitement in
the chamber of deputies and reso-
luton of protest sent to the perma
nent commission of congress demand
ing the release of the members. The
police contended that the deputies
were not protected by the constitu
tional privileges, but the governor
of the federal district promised the
immediate release of the prisoners. A
committee of deputies accompanied
the governor to the police station and
remained. making demonstration
until the prisoners were freed.
They also insisted on the restoration
of arms that had been taken from
them by the police when they were
arrested.

CHRISTMAS TREE
IN MYTHOLOGY
Has Been Yuletide Feature
Since the Middle
Ages
GERMANS BROUGHT
CUSTOM TO AMERICA

The tree. brilliant with candles and
tinsel and bending under It's load Of
gifts has become so Indispensable a
part Of our Christmas that we can
hardly imagine a celebration OF the
festival without 1t. We think OF It
as an immemorial institution, and Il
is very ancient. Throughout Europe
II has been popular since the Middle
Ages, at the very least, while learned
men disagree as 70 whether It's real
origin should be traced TO IgdrnMl,
the tree Of life In Scandinavian my tn
ology, or to on OF the customs Of the
old Roman harvest festival the Sa-
turnalia.
But among English speaking peo-
pies 10 has been so recently intro
duced that II may almost be called
an innovation upon the hlstoi lc
Christmas. In England itself Il was
almost unknown before the middle
Of the last century, although Eng
lish travellers had seen the pretty GUS
tom IN European households and
written much in praise OF u. To
America IL came earlier, brought by
German immigrants to Pennsylvania
and perhaps also by the Dutch settlers
OF New York.
But II the Christmas tree is, in a
way OF speaking. an exotic In Eng
land and America, Il has certainly
become thoroughly domestlcated In
both countries. Hardly an American
household In which there are chill
dren, hardly a Sunday school or an
orphans home but has its tree each

little evergreens must be cut down
each autumn TO meet the demand.
The spruce is by far the best for the
purpose, and wherever 10 can be
found or bought It is used. Failing
that, the mr.. the cedar, the hemlDck
and even the pine may serve, and In
foreign countries great branches OF
the yew are often employed.
Where. then, are these 100000
trees which the children Of the
United States must have 10 come
from? In the frst place, the rural
districts and many OF the smaller
cities IN regions where evergreen
trees are 10 be found-which means
over the greater part OF the country
. can supply their needs from the
groves or forests in their own neigh
horhood. Few boys who have been
brought up IN the country" need 10
, be told where the Christmas trees
they have known came from.
But 10 supply the great city mar
keis there is need OF an industry
pretty well organized. This industry
centers in two regions, one In North
ern New England, and particular!
in Northern Maine, and the other
among the forests OF upper Michi
gan and Wisconsin. From The former
