(By the As sociated Press.) The Argentine Con gress has ended its regular sessions without taking any action on the bill introduced to fix a minimum price for livestock. The measure was accompanied by charges that the British and American Argentina were making excessive prof its and had caused the slump in livestock prices. The bill failed in committee following a report on the meat trade situation made at the com mittee's request by the Argentina Rur al Society, a national agricultural organization.

Dear Sanr Santa Claus: 1921. election of Metaxakis to the high of-1 r.ieat packing companies operating in nee ol paumii'ii oi v;onsianxinopie is not altogether regular, and they say that perhaps three-fourths of the mem bers of the Greek Orthodox faith in all parts of the world are not satisfied with the election for that reason. George Lampros. and one or two other prominent Greeks, discussing the subject here say that he is a great and learned man and devoutly consecrated to the welfare of the church but that his election was not regular because 24 bishops and 14 citizens of Greece must participate in the election, ac cording to the laws governing the op eration of the Greek Orthodox church. There were only seven bishops, accord ing to well-informed Greeks here who participated in the election. Also the presence of Metaxakis in this ' country- (he was in New York city when notified of his elevation to the patriarchate and when the election took place) is not looked upon with fa vor by the Greeks, it is understood, be cause of the feeling that irregularities should in no form surround the elec tion of so high an official in the Greek church. Political conditions, it is true, account to some extent for the alleged irregularities of the election, but it is Ladies Hose Any of your friends appreciate nice Hosiery We " have all the new ones 75c to $2.50 This includes ladies' silk, black anl . brown, 75c; the new grey and flesh colors, $1.50; and the all silk at S2.50.

The new patriarch is said to be an ad herent and follower of Venezelos, the great Greek statesman, jn matters of politics. . Charlotte Greeks are showing spe cially keen interest in the election of the patriarch because at the Christmas season the minds of all Orthodox mem bers of the Greek church revert to Christmas, which makes of the anni versary of the birth of Christ a re ligious festival of the first importance. No business places in Charlotte are greater sticklers for Christmas decora- j tions of the proper kind than places operated by Greeks. tSeveral of the restaurants and fruit stores run by them ;.re exceptionally beautiful with Christmas decorations. The Greeks all make the point that the Greek Orthodox Church is wrongly referred to as the Greek Catholic Church. It is simply the Greek Orth odox Cnurch without the Catholic, Greek adherents say. and is, perhaps, the Church that clings closest to the forms of the early apostolic Church of all the Churches in Christendom. The government of the Church is democratic, us shown by the fact that the Patriarch of Constantinople is elected for a period of four years and does not hold his office for life, nor has he any claim to infallibility. His powers in no wise correspond to those claimed by tha Pope of Rome, the Greeks say. When Metaxakis first left "Greece it was for the purpose of visiting Eng land and cultivating tfye rapproche ment vitli the Anglican or Episcopal Church of that country, which is near ly identical in doctrine and govern ment, the Greeks here say. with the Greek Orthodox Church. All admit that he is.'worthy of the high office he has been elected to but deplore the irregu larity which, they say, surrounds the election. In addition to the great body of Greeks throughout the world that ad here for the most- part to .the Greek Orthodox Church, the 160 millions of Russia and many other peoples in southeastern Europe are its adherents. Many of the Greeks of Charlotte, in the absence of a Church of their own faith here, worship in the Episcopal church, and seme of them belong to other Protestant churches. bill. The Rural Society, which, held a hearing at which the managers of the racking establishments and represen tatives of the livestock industry gave their opinions, held that the fixing of a minimum price was uneconomic and that the charges that the fall in price of livestocks was "the result of the interested maneuvers" of the pack ers, had not been proved. It was "not the consequence of a certain factor but. of a world-wide situation," trie report said. The society advised that tho meat trade should be left to the regular action of supply and demand. Regarding what were referred to as the meat "trusts" the report said: "If the existence of 'noxious trusts' had been proved, the Argentine Rural Society would condemn them and claim the guarantees of our laws against them. Put before reaching this point a better knowledge of the situation is necessary. Those who make an in dustry of meat should be those prin cipally interested in the course of their business being perfectly known to the cattle raisers. In this respect the Argentine Rural Society will bring all its influence to bear in order to obtain exact, detailed the continuous information of the accounts and bal ance sheets of these companies, to the publication of which, they are, how ever, legally committed."

London, Dec. 00 The dreatl picture of a world war in which the yellow races of the East will strive for dom ination with the white people of the West was painted by the Bishop of Chelmsford recently in a sermon to the English Church Congress at Bir mingham. "Do you know," he asked, "that the whole of the Christian community in England, the Church and the Noncn- formist bodies together, gave in a year toward spiritual work what was less than would keep the British Army in th& field for six hours." "This country last year." he added, "spent $l,S00,000,00O in .dirnk mere than $400,000,000 in tobacco and only 512.000,000 on foreign missions. "I am not a pessimist, but in a few years we shall have a peril moving cut from Asia, from China, from India and Japan. What is going to be the lesult God alone knows." "Tho next war will be the yellow against the white races. Think of the last war and its horrors! It will pale into insignificance before a war of color! "There is nothing that can prevent such a war except that the priciples of Christianity be made to underli.; In international and national life. If the world does not give its sons and daughters to the cause of the Church I venture to predict oyur grandchil dren 'will have to fight in this great world war of color . "Only Christ can cement the; na tions.

Former Governor Goodrich, of In diana, went into one of the Volga val ley communes and noticing the strange .bsence of dogs, which usually over run every Russian communtiy, he asked wh-?re they were. One of the commune leaders, with a rerfectly straight face, replied: "We butchered -them all last .week, and gf-ound them in sausage." - .

Lambeth, ai, well-known white farmer, was arrested at his home at the south entrance at Lakewood Park, on the Tuckser-ge lroad Friday after noon by Deputy Sheriffs Mode Hunter and Vic Fespcrman on a charge of violation of the prohibition law. He was held under $500 bond to be tried tefore a magistrate in a preliminary hearing. When the officers went to th Lam beth home, . which is on a plantation belonging to Mrs. Holland Reid, they saw Lambeth going) across the field w-ith a gun having started hunting.
