THE RETURN
AT YULETIDE


NJ ~HRIsTMAs comes and the old world
" turns
Fondiy back to its fairy days
Days that saw Him whose splendor burns
Bright through eras OF murk and maze;
Back to the Star whose speaking rays
Wise men spled as It beckoned them
Over Judea's winding ways
Back to the Babe OF Bethlehem
Christmas comes. and the old heart goes
Gayly back to the dear days past
Days whose breath OF the budding rose
Scents the years that have followed
fast;
Back to the Star whose spell was cast
Over young eyes and dazzied them,
Filling rapt youth with a wonder vast
Back to the Babe OF Bethlehem
Christmas comes. and the old faith lives.
Summoned back from the days gone
by
Days begemmed with the Joy that gives
Mortals balm for their sob and sigh;
Back is the Star In the smiling SKY,
Pilgrims haste as IT urges them
On to the haven ever nigh
Back to the Babe Of Bethlehem
Christmasi come. when the world shall go
Bounding back to the best OF days
Days when He in a manger low
Sages charmed into prayer and praise:
Back to the Star whose speaking rays
All meE spy as it beckons them
Over Judea's winding ways
Back to the Babe Of Bethlehem

u. S. DECLINES
TO AID CHINA

II Left Alone. Secretary OF ceIestisls
Says, They viii Come Out All
Risht-Adhere To Root
Principles.

Washington. Ghina's appeal for a
wholesale abrogation of all OF the
treaties and agreements comprised un-
der the 21 points which Japan pro-
pounded in her 1915 demands will not
receive the support of the American
delegation, although the Americans
will endeayor to obtain through voIun-
tary concession by Japan relinquish-
ment of many of the special privileges
and concessions which have proven so
irksome to China.
The American position from the be-
ginning has been that treaties which
were entered into by China in her
sovereign capacity as an independent
State cannot be attacked and nullified
by any action of the Washington Con-
ference.
But the American delegates. 1t is
said, are of the opinion that Japan
is prepared to go to great length to
meet reasonable requests from
China for the amelioration Of condi-
tons arising under the application of
the points which bear heavily upon
her.
Having secured the adhesion of
Japan to two principles laid down by
Elihu Root, the American delegates
believe that the application of these
will go far toward that end. The
first Of these declarations is that the
powers represented at the conference
shall respect the sovereignty. the
independence and the territorial in
tegrity Of China" the second is that
they shall provide the fullest and
most unembarrassed opportunities to
China to develop and maintain for
herself an effective and stable gov

Blocks Plans for Early Com

OPPOSITION TO FRANCE
Plan contempIates Complete construc-

Ten Years After Expiration Of

Washington. n.-Secretary Hughes. as
Chairman OF the Armament Confer
( &C. -,cs has. communicated directly with
Premier BRAND of France regarding
the situation which has developed as a
result OF the stand of the French dele
cation upon the question of naval
ratios.
Mr.. Hughes is understood to have
called the attention of M. BRAND to
the entirely unexpected nature Of the
French proposal and to its failure to
harmonize with the basic principles
upon which the limitation of naval
ornaments plan was drawn.
The French proposal for capital
ship ratio permitting her to construct
and maintain S50,000 tons, which, when
first presented to the naval commit
tee of the Armament Conference, was
understood to be merely a suggestion,
row Is declared to have the fri sup

The new situation is acct ted in
most quarters as considera post
ponlng what had been predicted would
be an early adjournment of the Wash
ineton meeting. With agreement def
Initely reached on the American-Brit-
ish-Japanese ratios and with the Shan
tung conversations moving steadily
toward an amicable understanding be-
tween the Chinese and Japanese ne
gotiators, most delegations had pre-
pared to arrange the remaining affairs
Of the Conference in which they were
interested so that subordinate COM
missions might be left to handle them.
The impression gained among other
delegations was that If France insisted
on the 5-5-s ratio comprised in the
proposal PUT forward Thursday she
would And solid opposition confront
ing the suggestion. Neither from a
standpoint of national security nor
from that Of present status" on which
the whole scheme Of limitation is
built, It was declared, could the French
delegation defend the claim to such a

Hard Christmases
for Washington
-nO ONEehas told us much about
III George Washington's Christ


81 George washington's Christ
masses. But from the record
Of his life we learn how he spent some
Of his Christmas days.
1t was a very cold Christmastide in
lT77 at Valley Forge. Snow was on
the hills. Everything was frozen. And
washington's army was in great need
Of food, clothing and shelter.
Instructions Of parties 0f men to 20
fora ging for food are entered in the
orderly book for that Christmas day
at Valley Forge, which was anything
but merry for Washington.
Still more desperate were the food
conditions at Morristown, in 1879,
when Washington reported that his
army was on half allowance and near
starvation. 1--WE have never expe-
rienced like extremity at any period
of the war" declared Washington,
pleading that food be sert.
There was a welcome Christmas
present for Washington and his men
st New Windsor in 1850 when a big
Christmas wagon came with over 900
shirts and other comforts made by
Philadelphia women patrlots-thlngs
needed by the men under Washington,
who were cheerfully suffering all sorts
OF hardship in order that this country
might be free The Philadelphia wom-
en- also raised, that year. over $780,
600 In aid of the soldiers.
The fine old Colonial mansion (the
OraIgie house) In Cambridge, Mass,
(now widely known as the home OF
Henry w. Longfcllow). was the place
where Washington spent his first
Christmas as commander Of the Rev
olutionary army In 1775. Mrs. Wash
lngton was there with him Gas she was
later at Valley Forgel, and there was
come pleasure IN the midst of the
heavy cares aud responsibilities car
ried by the great Washington.
A year later Christmas day found
Washington at the head of his 2,4O0
brave men making his celebrated
crossing Of the Delaware river, nine
miles above Trenton. The snow and
sleet were binding, It is recorded, and
the cold was intense. But hearts
we're brave.
Wherever he was at Christmastide,
Washington was cheered with the
thought that the cause Of the strug-
Cling colonies would surely win. A
few days before Christmas, 1910, he
wrote to his older brother, John Au-
gustine Washington: Between you
and me. our affairs are in very bad
situation. However, under a
full persuasion Of the justice of our
cause, l cannot entertain an idea that
It will finally sink, though It may re-
main for some time under cloud"
Washington must have had some
very merry Christmases at Mount Yer
non. There were no children OF his
own with whom Washington could
romp. But we can easily imagine
the big-hearted general putting on a
false beard of fuzzy white whiskers
and singing pack over his back for
the delight of the little ones in the
neighborhoOd.
General Washington was truly the
"Father of His Country" and we have

ing nagging methods at the Confer.
fence," he declared in reply to questions
from American guests, eand that the
nations are beginning to be annoyed
at the pin pricks of China. Yet, il
China had presented a thousand and
one demands at this Conference, and
they were just demands, she could not
rlghteously be accused OF nagging.
And, as matter OF fact, the only
concrete thing we have obtained from
The Conference is one demand. name
", that refeyring to the withdrawal Of
foreign postoffices"
DR. Tsao's address and subsequent
answers to questions turned largely
upon the necessity of granting to
China the right to impose whatever
customs tariff she deems desirable.
China requires funds yet the ma
tions say we cannot increase our
tariff" he said "The nations say they
want more trade. but it is absurd for
them to think of developing trade
when our people have no money with
which to purchase. Do you know that
Japan asks $50 per cent. duty on to-
bacco whilc China is only permitted to
ask five?"
Discussing the 21 demands present
ed by Japan to China in 1915 DR.. Tsao
remarked that 'sif we are indulging in
pin prieks perhaps it is the result Of
these 21 demands"
Japan" he added. was rather
lucky in this matter because she is
located in the Far East and not in
Europe, for all nations in Europe that
have presented ultimatulns and have
wanted reply in "a hours have
dwindIed into nothing notably Aus
tria. japan adopted her military sys-
tenn from Germany and seems to have
adopted her method of presenting ulti-
matums from Austria"

AUTHORITATIVE French opinion

Authoritative French opinion, as OBJ
tanned tonight, was that the plan and
its resulting ratio for France was en-
tirely reasonable 1t was made plain
that there was no disposition to modify
the proposals in their vital features or
to accept the 175.000-ton ratio proposed
by the American delegation.
The first new ship would be laid
down in 1926 under the French plan
submitted to the committee, and each
year the keel of an additional ship
would be laid to gradually replace and
augment the present capital ship ton
mage of France, which in the opinion
of her Government. is antiquated in
design and inadequate to properly pro-
tect the nations interests.
The naval experts of the French
delegation estimated that the last of
the new ships would be ready for serv-
Ice in 1871, or not before 10 years after
the period Of the naval holiday contem-
plated in the limitation agreement now
before the Conference.
The essential features of the French
plan were submitted in committee in a
table illustrating proposed construc-
tion, as follows:
Capital ship
Year tonnage.
1926 $4,000 lAll old dreadnoughts)
1881 100000 (Two new, six old dread
naughtsl
1886 235,000 Zone old. seven new
dreadnaughts).
1914 $4,000 (Tennew wdreadnaughts)
An analysis of the table, ii was ex-
planned. would show that the French
navy at the end of 10 years would
figure about 100000 tons of capital
ships. including two new dreadnaughts,
and that this would be only 10000
tons, representing approximately the
tonnage of the two new ships, over
the allotment made to France under
the American plan.
