The latest Chilean note was cabled to Peru after being unanimously approved by the foreign relations committees of both chambers of congress. It was first approved at a cabinet session at which President Alessandri presided. "Chile considers any means adequate to find a solution of the difficulties with Peru," says the note. It regrets that Peru's viewpoint differs from that of Chile in regard to a plebiscite in the disputed area and in regard to alleged expulsions of Peruvians from Tacna and Arica, declares that all Peruvians having the right to vote will be admitted to the plebiscite. Unfilled Clauses The only unfilled clauses in the treaty of Ancon are not due to any action of Chile, according to the note. Clause three, providing for the plebiscite, 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 refuse 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 solutions within the terms of the treaty of Ancon, which cannot be ignored by the countries signing it. The offer is made in a high spirit of cordiality and Chile hopes it will be received with good will, enhancing the welfare of both countries." The note marks the first acceptance by Chile of arbitration of points covered by the treatyof Ancon in the lengthy history of the trouble over Tacna and Arica.

Traditional. On the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, Deep and crisp and even; Brightly shone the moon that night, Tho' the frost was cruel. When a poor man came in sight, Gath'ring winter fuel. "Hither, page, and stand by me, If thou know'st it, telling. Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?" "Sire, he lives a good league hence. Underneath the mountain, Right against the forest fence. By Saint Agnes' fountain." "Bring me flesh and bring me wine. Bring me pine log3 hither; Thou and I will see him dine, When we bear them thither." Page and monarch forth they went, Forth they went together. Thro' the rude wind's wild lament, And the bitter weather. "Sire, the night Is darker now. And the wind blows stronger; Fails my heart, I know not how,. I can go no longer.' "Mark my footsteps, my good page, Tread thou in them boldly: Thou shall find the winter's rage Freeze thy blood less coldly." In his master's steps he trod, Where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod Where the saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure. Wealth or rank possessing Ye who now will bless the poor Shall yourselves find blessing. LAUNCH JAP WARSHIP; DREADNOUGHT SLATED FOR SCRAP HEAP SOON (By Associated Press) TOKIO, Dec. 20.

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 fourpower Pacific treaty as covering the principal islands of the Japanese' empire.
