On the Track of the ' New Year fcW YEAli'S was a long time lu settling upon Jan. 1 as tbe X proper time for Its celebration Even now. In Greece and Russia. where the Julian calendar Is in force. New Year's does not arrive until twelve days ufter the year Is well on Its way In the rest of tbe civilized world. The ancient Egyptians and Persians - began the new year at tbe autumnal - equinox, Sept. 22, and tbe Greeks oi Solon's time at- the winter solstice Dec. 21. hut In tbe time of Pericles tb a date was changed to tbe summer solstice, June 21. Tbe Romans began tbe year from tbe winter solstice until Caesar changed It to Jan. 1. With tbe Jews tbe now year began lu Septembei lu civil affairs, but in their ecclesiastl cai rec icon tug t:ie beginning or tiie year dates from the vernal equinox, March 22. And, as this is astrouoml rally the beginning of spring, the date 1 is a logical one, and that of the 25th ol i March (25 being a more fully rounded i. number) was accepted generally by 1 Christian nations in medieval times as New Year's. ^ In England Dec. 25 was New Year's until the time of William the Conqueror. His coronation happened to fall 5 on Jan. 1, and accordingly the year 5 was ordered to commence on that day. r But the English gradually fell into . union with the rest of Christendom . and began the year on March 25. When ) In 1582 the Gregorian calendar was promulgated and definitely located r New Year's on Jan. 1 most Catholic countries adopted It at once, but Eng* land did not acquiesce until 1752. ; In ancient Rome New Year's day was given up to feasting and frolick( ing. Sacrificial tiros burned continually on the altars of the twelve gods. All I litigation and strife were suspended^ A. Li Li NATIONS DRINK A NEW TEAR'S IIEAL.TH. reconciliations took place. Now Year's calls wore made and New Year's gifts bestowed. There also originated the New Year's resolution, for every Roman resolved on New Year's tiny to so regulate hN conduct that every word and act should l?e a happy augury for at' thu d;:ys of the ensuing year. On account of the orgies which marked the New Year's arrival not only among the Itomans. but among the Teutonic races, the early Christians I looked with scant favor upon the whole seasou. By the fifth century, however. Dec. 2f> became the fixed festival of the Nativity, whereupon Jan. 1 . assumed a special sacred character as the octave of Christinas day. The giving of gifts on New Year's L day has been superseded largely in Ani glo-Snxon countries by the giving of i Christmas gifts, but the custom still is ? retained in France. This custom was . one of the most ancient and universally observed of New Year's day. The drulds distributed branches of the sacred mistletoe. The Roman emt perors exacted gifts, and so did the Fngllsh rulers down to the time of i Cromwell. I The world over on New Year's it is n custom to drink to the health of one's friends. The custom of making New Year resolutions and "turning over a new * leaf" is universal and. like political 5 platforms, is as much honored in the r breach as in the observant v.

From Galicia the Russians report 1 success in an action against the Au^ trians near Trembowla, where there has beon an indication recently that the Austrians and Germans are seeki ing to strengthen their lines. Although no activity is reported on the Mesopotamian front, the Russians ^ I are advancing steadily in Persia in an effort to link their forces with those of their British allies. On Hartmanns-Woilprknnf ??i"- rwJB French claim to have maintained their sains on a front of one mile, but admit their left has been compelled to fall back. The Germans assert they have retaken the lost ridge, with the B capture of many prisoners.
