Swift and Company of Chicago have refused They set up trees and j to deliver to the federal trade com mission records desired by the com- minded them that spring was com ing, and the sun was returning to make the earth green and fruitful again. They spread great feasts, and on the table a boar's head was placed .with an apple in his mouth. The young folks gathered, and danced and sang songs around the merry ta hip. and before the roarintr fire, and an- longer in summer i ., j ri.-ht winter? Do you ?

And they said: Let us make Christian feasts of these Yuletide feasts and these Saturnalia, and so gradually the heathen feasts gave way to Christmas. The Christians said, Instead of celebrating the re turn of the sun in the spring, let us celebrate the cominp of God's Son to earth, who is indeed the real Sun of Righteousness and make the world fruitful and beautiful in heart and life by righteousness in the soul and goodness to all in need. And so they fixed December 25 as the day to celebrate the birth of Jesus. They did not know just what day it was, and as all the world was glad because of the turning of the sun at thatl time, it s,eemed just the time to be glad because of the birth of Jesus. And so the Christ mas Day was made a great day for all the world who knew of Him. It is sad that many heathen people still used the day to get drunk and be boisterous and noisy, but ,otnef gave gifts on that day, and thought about God's goodness in giving us His Son. It was in the time of the Reformation under Martin Lu ther that the old heathen feasts of Yule and Saturn began to give way to a new idea of Christmas, and the world commenced to feel grateful to God for the gift of his Son, and to worship and praise Him for his birthdhy. The practice of giving gifts was continued, and the world still feels it is a time to be merry. We are approaching another Christ mas.

After the public exercis es the younger children were visit ed by Santa Claus, the old fellow this time being- reDresented h-r the teachers of the various grades. And atter the close of the schools for the holidays several teachers car ried home packages from the chil dren. Mr. A. A. Shuford donated a crate of oranges for the primary grade at the North school and Mr. H. W(. Harris sent a bag of peanuts to each child. Rev. S. B. Stroup was the princi pal speaker at the South school He discussed the Christmas season and explained what it. means, tell ing the children; what God meant by giving the world His only be gotten son. Mr. Chas. W. Bagby presented the flag- and Bible for the Juniors. With Miss Miller at the piano the children sang several Christmas songs and patriotic airs, including O Little Town of Bethlehem and the Star Spangled Banner. The singing was good and the young voices : re sponded with a will. It is due to the mothers of the South school district that this building has a good . pi ano. They bought it and present ed it to the school, and Superinten dent Mcintosh, who presided over the exercises here, gave them all the credit for it. Not only did thev do that, but they have evinced a gen uine interest m the teachers and their work, and during the snow sent m hot lunches to the teachers. In the absence of Mrs. N. W, Clark, president of the association, Mr. Mcintosh called on Mrs. J. J Hefner to say a few words in re gard to the piano. She assured the teachers that the mothers were interested and were glad to help the schools. Mr. Mcintosh referred to the ab sence of an auditorium at this buildircg, the children standing in the front ahll as they sang. He told them to call on Mr. Cilley, a true friend, and knew he would do all in his power, as the board has done since he had been in charge of the schools. An auditorium could be erected at the rear of the building. At the new West building Mayor Yount presented the flag and Bible and Rev. R. M. Courtney made a Christmas talk. Here also the pro gram included the -endering of pa triotic airs. Flarenfts present en joyed the occasion and the young folks remembered each other. Mr. P. A. Setzer presented the flag and Bible at the North school, but Mr. Garth was unable to be present. Christmas parties were the order at the North school following the exercises in the chapel. The sev enth grade girls gave a party in honor of the boys and Christmas trees were enjoyed in several of the rooms. At all the schools the individual rooms were decorated for the day and visitors were delighted with the art displayed. One must visit the schools occasionally, really to learn what they are doing. The schools will be closed until January 7 and most of the out of town teachers left on the noon trains for their homes. GIVES OYSTER SUPPER FOR HIS BARACA CLASS Mr. P. A.

I Washington, Dec. 21. Through a long series of telegramse exchang ed between the notorious Count Lux burg, former German charge in Ar gentina, and the Berlin foreign of fice, the state department last night disclosed further facts about Ger man diplomatic trickery and at the same time shed light upon some hitherto unexplained activities of certain Latin-American statesmen. Luxburg in one of his messages, dated August 1 last, reported that President Irigoyen of Argentina at last had made up his mind to con clude a secret agreement with Chile and Bolivia for protection against North America "before the confer ence idea is taken up again." The "'conference ijea" is assumed to have been the plan for a Latin-American neutrality, conference, strong ly supported by President Carranza of Mexico and much discussed in some of the South American countries, while the proposed secret agreement may explain reports that came from Buenos Aires recently of President Irigoyen's proposals for a league of South American nations. In Latin-American diplomatic quar ters here it is regarded as certain that the disclosures will result very quickly in an Argentine declaration of war against Germany. Congress and a majority of the people fa vored this step when the American government made public the "spurlos versenkt" (sink without a trace) message of Luxburg, and it is believ ed, that the president's opposition now will be swept away if it is not withdrawn. The messages were made public by the state department in agree ment with the Argentine govern ment, which in an accompanying statement by its foreign ministers says the "inaccuracies" of the Ger man diplomat's reports are so sur prising that no epithet will fit them. The messages were' sent to Argen tina soon after the state department gave out the first series of inter cepted telegrams, but heretofore de mands for their publication have been in vain. The first of Luxburg's intercept ed telegrams were transmitted to Berlin by the Swedish legation at Buenos Aires in its diplomatic code and publication of that fact by Sec retary Lansing not only threw Ar gentina into a turmoil, resulting in the dismissal of the charge.- but precipitated a crisis in Sweden. No explanation is given of the means by which the latter messages were sent, though one or two of the telegrams in today's batch were am ong those given out previously. Dated Last Summer All of the correspondence was ex changed during July, August and early September, and most of it deals directly with the negotiations then in progress over the sinking of Argentine ships by German subma rines. Before the messages reach ed the American government Ger many virtually had settled the mat ter by agreeing to pay indemnity and to treat Argentine ships accord ing to international law. The se cret reports now reveal that Argen tina on its side was to keep its ships out of danger by not allowing them to sail for the war zone, an easy task in view of the fact that she had almost no shipping left. Throughout the messages Lux burg dwells upon his difficulties with the foreign minister and upon his influence (with the president. Finally he was conducting negotia tions directly with the president. How Far Project Went H-ow far President Irigoyen's project for an anti-North American alliane went th correspondence does not disclose. It merely says that he made up his mind to conclude the agreement with Blolivia and Chile, "a mutual rapproachment for protection vis a vis North America" being the purpose as described, in the concluding telegram of the se ries, however, Luxburg,, addressing an unnamed person in Santiago, Chile, probably the German minis ter there, says that as long as Chile is neutral Germany after the war will be able to carry out her South American policy just as well if not more easily in opposition to an "in fatuated and misguided Argentine as with Argentine on her side." This apparently was written when the likelihood of the president holdin.g Argenina out of the war appeared to be fading. Minister Naon of Argentina declin ed to make any comment upon the nature, further than to say that the statement of the foreign, minister covered the situation. He was ad vised of the purpose of the Unit ed States and his government to make the message public here and at Buenosi Airfcs simultaneously. 'Count Luxburg still is in Argen nina, although safe conduct was se cured for him long ago, and there have been frequent announcements By the Associated Press. Opposition to the bolsheviki ap parently is increasing as appearances of German supjporti of the Maxi malists grow more pronounced and as conditions of the revolution in the interior extend to other parts of the country in an effort to pre vent a separate peace. One report from Petrograd today, however says this effort has result ed in failure for the present at any rate, as the Germans have rejected the Russian terms. The report was unofficial and was not confirmed. The Ukradine in its hostility to the bolsheviki government has been southwestern! fronfy and General joined by the Russian staff on the southwestern front, and General Stceherbatchejffi the commander in Rumania, has been put at the head of the Ukranian forces, reported to be marching against the forces of the bolsheviki. Another report says that the Rumanians have- joined the Ukranians, while another report says Grand Duke Nicholas is raising an royalist army in the Caucasus. iGerman and Austrian officers re leased from Russian prisons are reported to have let the bolsheiki in oerpowermig their opponents in, ihe capital of Russian Turkistan, whilve other relelased enemy pris oners, said to be two army corps, are said to be near Petrograd. Officers of the central powers are said to be active in Petrograd, al though this is denied by the bol sheviki, who claim that the con stitutional democrats are tryiny to turn the country over to Germany. Meanwhile diplomats of the cen tral powers are hurrying to begin peace negotiations with the bol sheviki. On leaing Berlin, tihe emissaries were urged by the popu lace to- "make a strong peace." Apparently undaunted by the heavy forces of the enemy has been using to break the Brenta-Piave line, the Italians are making counter- at tacks in attempts to regain Monte Asolone. So far, Berlin says, they have been unsuccessful. On other sectors of this front the Italians have repulsed with loss strong Austro-German attacks. Raiding engagements occupy the opposing forces on the northern end of the western front, while the artillery continues active in the Ypres and "Oambrai sectors. In Lorraine the French have repulsed a heavy German attack, about eight miles south of the Rhyne-Marne ca nal, where the Germans laided an America nltrenjch last month. In the midst of the peace pourpar lers that are in progress between the representatives of the Teutonic allies and the Bolsheviki govern ment in Russia, the war aims of Great Britain and doubtless of all her allies have been concretely set forth in the house of commons by David Lloyd George , the British prime minister. Great Britain did not seek terri torial aggrandizement for herself, or for any of her allies when she entered the war, Mr. Lloyd George said, but entered into the hostilities merely for the sake of her honor. As to Germany's colonies, all of of which are now in the hands of the entente, Mr. Lloyd George Sfaid, their disposition must be determin ed at the peace congress, Jerusalem, however, the premier declared, would never be restored to the Turks. of his plans for his sailing for a north European neutral country. The last report received here con cerning him said he was undergoing treatment in a sanatarium for a nervous disorder. For a time he was in a detention camp, probably chief ly because the Argentine public was so incensed against him that it was not safe to have him at large. Story of Intrigue Completed Theste disclosures complete the story of Luxenburg's intrigues which began when the state department gave out the famous "spurlos ver senkt" (sink without a trace) mas sag. They are of no importance chiefly because of their bearing up on various heretofore unexplained activities in South America and are particularly interesting as this time when Louis Cabrera, envoy of Presi dent Carranza of Mexico is on his way to Argentina to attend a so called neutrality,, conference. Following is the statement of the Argentine minister of foreign af fairs given out with the Luxburg telegrams: "The telegrams which appear be low are all that the Argentine min istry for foreign affairs received from the embassy in Washington of which the translations were made by the department of state in the United States. There are three telegrams not published, and they allude solely to the republics of Chile and Uru guay. The government has decided that it should not publish these tel egrams and has delivered them to the respective chancellors. Inaccuracies Charged "The telegrams show a number of inaccuracies so surprising that no epithet will fit them, as they are at complete variance, both in sub stance and form, with the terms in which the negotiations were entered into, carried on and brought to a conclusion."
