NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK.
Industrial Department of the Y. M. C. A. to  Launch  Campaign.
New York. —To lielp Ibe American family think strai»'bt and act wisely about money miitieis, tbe Industrial Department of tbe \. M. C. A. Till launch a campaign for n National Thrift Week, beginning January IT, Benjamin Franklin's birthday. The government, the .Vmerlcan Hankers' Association, the National Tredlt Men's Association nnd other organizations and clubs representing commerce and Industry have offered their heartiest co-operation In the hope of making permanent the i-esiilts of the govern¬ ment's highly successful program of thrift and sound investment during the war.
The Y. M. C. A. will aim to demon¬ strate by concrete examples the de¬ sirability and abs<ilute necessity of thrift not only on the part of the In¬ dividual but of the communities as a whole, If the country is to recover from the effects of the war. On each day of the campaign some phase of the thrift program will be stressed, be¬ ginning with "Hank r>ny" when the •ervlce which the bank renders to the community will be eiiiplmslzed. The other days of tb(> week bave been des¬ ignated as "Tlirift Sunday," "National Life Insurance I>ay," "Own Vour Own Home Day," "Make A Will Day." "Thrift Industry I>ay," "Family Hud- get Day" and "Pay Your Bills Pay."
London.—.\ teirillr sensation was causi'd in l.ondun iiy tlie news of the attempted assusstnaiiun of Viceroy French Just uiii,-<iile ilie Ashtown Gate of Pboeni.'; Park. Inililin. His motor car was ainbusbed. Two shots hit It, one passinj; in fnnit of the viceroy. His military guard in nn accomimiiylug auto returned the fire.
The soldiers tlien rushed toward tho plantation wlience the shooting came and found one man dead. On *he body vere u revolver nnd two bombs. The rest of the desperadoes, supposed to have numbered from five to twenty, seem to' have got safely away, hut the liiiding of their dead companion Is expected to give the clue to his confederates.
Tho most serious feature of the crime for the viceroy Is that It In¬ dicates that some one It his entour¬ age must hnve given away the time and direction of his drive. The utmost secrecy Is observed tjt^ to his Intended movements, which are known only to a very few around blm, but the would- be assassins seem to have been fully and accurntely informed in advance of his drive as tbey must have concealed themselves some time ahead In the plantation from which they attempted to kill blm.
Lord French's life was saved pri¬ marily by the armor [dated sides of the automobile in which be was riding. It was learned.
He fired several shots at his assail¬ ants, who escaped on bicycles.    They

NEWS
The cantata "Holy .Night" rendered in ti e .Moravian Church, Nazareh, last Sun- i a> evening by the church choir of forl\' voices and an orchestra of eleven pieces was a distinct success, and a woiiJerful tiiumph for the elTicient organist. Miss Anna .M. Kern. Miss Kern is not only a musician, but also a disciplinarian who ciin bring order and ability out of a cho- at and latent talent.
The cantata from beginning to end was rendered in a most creditable and nspir- ipg manner by many pronounced the lest in many years.
The chorus work was magnific:nt at t'mes, and the solos by Miss Claire Wun¬ derly, soprano; Wm. P. Gano, teno-; Ma¬ jor Reusswig, bass, left no room for c^iticism.
The quartet consisting of Mona Van¬ natta, Helen Adams, H. T. Vannafa and Clinton Frantz, also rendered their part vvell and made a deep impression.
The orchestra of 11 pieces did splend¬ id work at times, and added much .0 the success of the rendition.
The audience was very large, filling the spacious auditorium, and a most appreci¬ ative spirit prevailed. .

V> hen near the bridge which crosses tht; Bushkill Creek, a man walking along the x< ad approached her and attemp'ed 'o hold her up, but the young lady starteil to run and screem and the fellow was flightened and ran away It was sun- posed that Vnt object of the hold- ip was robbery. The man had his cap drawn down over his eves and was not reco';- ni/ed, hut the young lady supposed he was a foreigner.

I    Standing lietween two husky khakl- I clad marines, at the rail Goldman, high j priestess    of    anarchy,    shouted    her i valedictory   as   the  transiiort    headed ! down the bay en route for un unknown j port, presumably cme In Soviet Hussla. Emma, dressed In  a dark blue suit and wearing the sealskin coat present- \ I'd to ber by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn j and otlier admirers, was the most con- ! splcuous member of the party, but she I kept   quiet   until   the   ship  got   under way,  then  she  broke  forth  with   her
¦ tirade against the government. Other women In the party were Dora Lip- man   and   Ethel    Bernstein,    youthful
; radicals arrested In a raid on the head-
¦ (junrters of the Federation of Russian Workers In this city last month.
Among the Reds on the Buford were ten who arrived at Ellis Island from Buffalo and S.*? from Hartford. Others came from this city, Chicago, Toungs- town, Pittsburgh, Boston, Bridgeport, New London. Baltimore, Detroit, Ak¬ ron, St. Louis. Kansas City and otlier cities.
It was estimated that the party car¬ ried away approximately .$250,000 In cash.
Berkiiian, like his co-worker, Emma, kept quiet until sailing time, when he also voiced his opinion of the govern¬ ment of these United States. It was not complimentarj- and .\loxander was admonished to cut It short, which he did. Berkman, attired In a khaki uni¬ form, cowboy sombrero and high Rus¬ sian boots, strutted around among the lesser reils vvlth a superior air and was hailed us "leader."
In a statement Issued Just before sailing, Berkman said It wus his Inten¬ tion to go to Petrograd and work with Lenlne and Trotsky. The majority of the party sailing on the Buford, he •aid, were "poor. Ignorant souls who knew nothing of the doctrines of an¬ archy." ne added that he proposed to Instruct them In these doctrines during the voyage.
Many of the Reds sang Russian and other rov(dutlonary songs while they waited for the cutter and after board¬ ing the transport. Each of the party carried a handbag or other luggage and each was provided with more than $1,000 In cash. The government pro¬ vided each of them with mittens, sweaters,  overcoats and blankets.
