GOOD KING WENcESLAs"

"GOOD KING WENGESlAS
All of US like to go to extremes.
Characters that we like, we idealize;
those we dislike, we make terrible in
deed This tendency is at the root
of legends and fairy stories A man
who has led a good life and has OBJ
tanned popular approval becomes a
saint after he dies, and legends are
told concerning him. Sometimes a
combination of great powers gathers
into pretty stories about personality
that never existed and we have fairy
stories
But King Wenceslas, the hero of this
English legend, was a real parsonage.
WenceSlas, the Holy, was King of
Bohemia from 928-935. After his coro-
nation he tried to establish Christian
ity as the predominant religion. His
brother objected, and later brought
about the death of the king. In Bohe-
mia, Wenceslas is honored as the
protecting saint. For many years his
crown was used at the coronation of
the king of Bohemia.
The story of the song as written by
DIR. Neale, relates a kind deed which
the king performed for poor peasant,
and the miracle that followed 1t took
place on December &c, the day of the
Feast OF st. Stephen, the first Chris
tan martyr. The song ends with the
drawing of a moral to adorn the tale.

About 90 persons presented claims
for compensation at the offices of

Legion club rooms, Tuesday. A total
of 40 were cared for Monday.
Richmond is fortunate in having
two organizations active in caring for
the interests of the former service

and the Red Cross have done good
work here. In some cities we strike,
claims have been allowed to go for
months because there was no respon-
sible organization to care for them"

idly dwindling Tuesday it was ex-
pected that the squad would be prac-
tically through with it's task here We'd

Friday morning, when the members
move on to Mount Vernon.
No Delay
All applicants who come in Wednes-
day will be cared for with very little
delay, as there will be virtually no
! waiting for a place before the exam

been allowed to go without care for

CHILE'S NOTE URGES
THAT PERU CONTINUE
DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS
CBy Associated Press)

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 20 The
Chilean answer to Peru's note reject
ing Chile's proposal for a plebiscite in
Tacna and africa invites the continu-
ance of direct negotiations in a at
tempt to find some solution of the diff
ficulties under the terms of the treaty
Of Ancon, which it says cannot be ig-
nored by the countries signing it. The
latest Chilean note was cabled to Peru
after being unanimously approved by
the foreign relations committees of
both chambers of congress. 1t was
first approved at cabinet session at
which President Alessandri presided
Chile considers any means ade-
quate to find a solution of the diff
culties with Peru" says the note. 1t
regrets that Peru's viewpoint differs
from that of Chile in regard to a
plebiscite in the disputed area and in
regard to alleged explosions of Peru
vfans from Tacna and africa, declares
that all Peruvians having the right to
vote will be admitted to the plebiscite.
Untitled Clauses
The only untitled clauses in the
treaty of Ancon are not due to any
action of Chile, according to the note,
Clause three, providing for the plebis-
cite. it is said, has been impossible of
fulfillment for many years, and clause
twelve, providing compensation for
damages suffered during the war by
Chileans, has not been met by Peru.
The note continues:
THE only divergence dividing us Is
the difference as regards the manner
OF carrying out clause three This
makes it needful, before resorting to
arbitration-which Chile does not re-
fuse-to fix the precise points of the
question and determine the points
which must be arbitrated to reach a
perfect agreement.
Chile invites continuance of direct
negotiations to find in harmony solu-
lions within the terms of the treaty of
Ancon, which cannot be ignored by
the countries signing it. The offer
is made in high spirit of cordially
and Chile hopes it will be received
with good will, enhancing the welfare

PRESIDENT DOES NOT
THINK TREATY COVERS
MAIN JAPAN ISLANDS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec 20.-Presidenr
Harding. it was said today at the
white house, does not regard the four
power Pacific treaty as covering. the
principal islands of the Japanese en-
pire.
This view. which is contrary to that
voiced repeatedly by official spokes-
men of the American delegation, was
described at the white house as the
presidents personal opinion, moi
based on consultation with other mem
beers of his administration
Mr.. Harding was said to believe
that the treaty no more applies to the
island constituting Japan proper than
it does to the mainland of the United
States.
In his view. it was said. the agree
ment only covers island possessions IN
the Pacific. while the main Japanese
group occupies the position of party
to the treaty rather than q posses
sion
