March 20 - An unleased air force returned to the scene today with bombs, guns and cameras to work more havoc and prove it with pictures.
 Poor visibility compared with the bright moonlight and drift ing clouds of last night prevented Danish coastal observers from es timating accurately the number of planes in the folloW-up raids. They said there were apparently six groups with reverberating ex plosions equal to those of the previous night with German anti aircraft batteries keeping up a terrific defense.
 The Air Ministry reported that already seaplane hangars, rail- way barracks, jetties and con- crete ramps were destroyed. The public press exhausted superlativ es in praise of the wars biggest raid carried out by the fleet.
 It was authoritatively estimat- ed that between 30 and 50 fast bombers one of which failed to return from the attack, concen- trated for 6 hours on Hornum, from which German planes have been flying to the drop mines al ong the British coast and to at tack British shipping.

OBSERVANCE of December % as Christmas is
said to have been established by Pope julius in
the fourth century, and although other dates had
been observed this generally agreed upon in the
course of time.
The adopted date comedies with the season Of GER
tain pagan festivals, including the Roman Satur
nalia and to the present day many of the GUS
toms which surround the Christmas observance may
be traced to pagan origins
This may be accounted for by the fact that early
Christian missionaries were not inclined to disturb
too greatly the native customs of their converts but
gradually merged them with Christian observances.
Thus the giving of gifts the decorations of holly and
mistletoe, the feasting and other features of the
Christmas celebration are customs older than Chris
tianity.
Christmas therefore, may be said to have double
signficance-one religious, the other social = the
latter perpetuating the customs of many peoples It
is of the worlds most widely celebrated festivals
whose social observance is by no means confined to
adherents of the Christian faith
