Every Officer's Mess and Every
Company In Army of Occupation
to Have Well-Decorated Trees.
r (By tlo Associated Press.)
. COBLEN'Z, Sunday, Dec. 22. The
arms of Santa Claus, reaching across
the Atlantic and France, beyond the
Tthine. have brougnt large quantities
of sweets and various luxuries and
holiday gifts Tor the first Christmas
In Germany of the American Army of
Occupation.
Christmas packages for the soldiers
Tegan to arrive several days ago in
carload lots and are being distributed
rapidly from the rail heads to the
eight divisions within the area of oc
cupation. The quartermaster's o
jiartment and the American Red Cross
have provided 30 carloads of chocolate
and stick candy. The quartermaster
also Is providing four cars of paitry
and material for pios and cakes. ,
Soldiers to Have Trees. ,
Every officer's mess and every com
pany of soldiers is to have a Christ
mas tree. Many of the trees were cut
fcy the Boldiers themselves.
The Y. M. C. A. is supplying decora
tions for the trees. The Knights of
Columbus will present extra smokes
to the soldiers, in addition to Individual
rifts and plenty of .candy and chewing
fc-um.
The arrangements provide for begin
ning early in the morning the distribu
tion of the packages sent to the sol
diers from home, while the afternoon
and evening are to be devoted to en
tertainments of various sorts.
Meat Die to Be Varied.
While no turkey or cranberries will
le served at the Christmas dinner, the
troops will have goose, ducks and
chickens aplenty, as well as roast pig
and fish. A general order prohibits
the Americans from buying meats or
fats from the Germans, but by a system
of trading soap, as well as chocolate
and other foodstuffs, the prospect ap
pears good of securing sufficient native
products to vary agreeably the Army
laeat diet.
The Salvation Army has begun the
baking of doughnuts at Its various
quarters and by Christmas It hopes to
have hundreds of thousands on hand
at least three doughnuts for every sol
dier. This organization also is to pro
vide gifts of various kinds.
The Germans throughout the oc
cupied area are preparing for an active
celebration among themselves. They
teem determined to have a good time
and are buying extra .supplies for their
Christmas dinners.
The German weather forecast for
Christmas is: Cloudy, probably enow.

COUGHING FOLLOWS
INFLUENZA but FOLEY'S
HONEY and TAR HELPS
IT QUICKLY.
A cough that follows influenza
or la grippe is not a trifling
thing. If persistent it becomes
a serious symptom, indicating
general aeDiiity.
Mr. Wm. Barnes, of San Antonio. Tex.
tells what Foley's Honey and Tar will
do in such cases in a few brief words:
"Early in the season I had the 'Flu,'
followed by pneumonia, which left me
weak and with a persistent cough. It
hung on and kept me from getting
much needed rest and sleep. I was ad
vised to try Foley's Honey and Tar and
began taking it at once. Before bedtime
I noticed a relief and that night I had
a sound sleep and perfect night's rest,
the first I had had since the beginning
or the Flu. I have now completely re
covered and do not cough at all."
For all coughs, colds, tickling
throat, hoarseness, stuit y wheezy
breathing, and the cough that
comes with whooping cough

WASHINGTON. Dec 23. Defeat of
the Bolshevik army on the Ekaterin
burg front in a decisive battle by an
army of loyal Russians was reported
today in an official dispatch to the
Russian Embassy from the Omsk gov
ernment. The message said the disor
ganized Bolsheviki were retreating
northward toward Perm. Much war
equipment and booty was captured.
- The embassy also was informed that
Attaman Doutoff, commanding the Cos

of Poland, the minister says the situa

"It will be a question of arms until
the matter is settled."
EX-MISER TO CELEBRATE
EXILE - PLANS FOR REGULAR
GERMAN CHRISTMAS.
Court Chaplain Not Available, Herr
Ilohenzollern Himself Will
Deliver Sermon.
.LONDON. Dec 23. William Hohen-
zollern has arranged for himself a
Christmas-- celebration after the trad!
tional German style, as far as circum
stances will permit, according to a die
patch to the Daily Express from Am
sterdam today. The arrangements, by
the ex-Emperor's insistence, will in
clude elaborate religious ceremonies on
Christmas eve.
The idea of using the village chapel
for these, however, has proved imprac
ticable for various reasons, one of them
being the fear of possible hostile dem
onstrations. The eervices, accordingly,
will be held in the drawing room of
Amerongen castle, which will be con
verted into a chapel.
The ex-Emperor desired to have the
court chaplain. Dr. Ernest von Dry
ander, come from Berlin to preach the
sermon at the Christmas eve ceremony,
but the Berlin government, says the
dispatch, has refused permission for
the chaplain to go to Holland. The
service consequently will be conducted
by a German missionary from Zeist,
near Amerongen, but Herr Hohenzollern
himself will deliver the sermon.
Many friends of Count von Bentinck,
the former Emperor's host, have been
asked to attend the service, the mes
sage adds, but have refused.
FIGHT ON SOCIALISTS
IN GERMANY COMING
Minority Parties Disorganized
but Determined.
ELECTIONS DRAWING NEAR
Element Now In Control of Govern
ment Has Advantage, bnt' Op
ponents Are Hopeful.
BERLIN. Sunday. Dee. 22. (By the
Associated Press.) The Bonrgeoise
parties in Germany are striving to
erect a solid front" against the major
ity Socialists In the coming elections
to the National Assembly. The elec
tions are only four weeks away and the
former right and center parties are
still much disorganized.
' The Socialists have an Intact party
organization and have a strategic ad
vantage because they now are in vir
tual control of the government. An
added factor Is that the Ebert-Haase
government has been strengthened In
its position by the action of the recent
revolutionary congress, which not only
widened the Jurisdiction of the Cabinet,
but placed at its disposal a serviceable
central committee of soldiers' and
workmen's councils. This has been
Interpreted as marking the defeat of
the ultra-radical tendencies championed
by the proletariat extremists.
The provisional government will use
the time before the elections in re
storing order and alleviating economic
conditions.
Socialises In Control.
As the majority Socialists, are virtu
ally in command of the central gov
ernment and dominate the local gov
ernments throughout Germany, they
probably will enter the election fight
as a solid majority Irrespective of the
future action of the independent So
cialists or the Spartacus group.
The National Assembly will be called
to order 10 days after the elections,
which will be held January 19. This
period will be used in collating the
vote 'and arranging technical details.
The session will continue eight weeks.
Cities which are urging that the Na
tional Assembly meet there are Frank
fort, Cassf-1, Erfurt, Bayreuth, Weimer
and Nuremburg. Berlin is likely to be
overlooked, as the progress of the con
gress held last week convinced the
out-of-town delegates that Berlin is
too noisy.
ZURICH, Dec 23. (Havas.) Field
Marshal von Hindenburg. according to
reports received here from Germany,
has concentrated a large force of sol
diers in Posen.
Polish Troops BforiaK. .
Posen is in German Poland. Polish
Nationalists have claimed it as part of
the new Poland and Polish troops have
invaded the territory.
PARIS, Dec- 23. - (Havas.) The
Ebert government In Berlin Is reported
to be faced with another crisis through
the resignation of the minority mem
bers of the Cabinet.
Political circles in Berlin, another
report says, are agitated by a rumor
that General Groener, who succeeded
General Ludendorff as chief quartermaster-general,
has threatened to seize
Berlin with troops that have remained
faithful if order is not re-established
there shortly.
a
BERLINER S APPEAR GLOOMY
City's Christmas Will Be Far From
Merry One.
BERLIN, Sunday, Dec 22. (By the
Associated Press.) The outlook for
Berlin's glrst revolutionary Christmas
appears to be anything but merry. The
disposition' of the Berliners seems
gloomy.
Never before have beggars and street
venders been so numerous. Three
years ago a soldier would not have
been permitted to walk the streets in
uniform and beg. Professional beggars
and crippled and invalid soldiers mul
tiply In number daily, augmented by
other soldiers who. sell cigarettes, soap
and sweetmeats brought in from west
of the Rhine.
The Unter den Linden, the Potsdam
mer Plats and Friedrichstrasse present
an Incongruous appearance with street
stalls filled with flimsy wares and sub
stitutes for Christmas pastry and wax
candles.
FRENCH KNOW NO ENGLISH
(Continued from First Pairs.)
Colds Cattse Grip and Influenza
LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets re
move the cause. There Is only one "Brome
Quinine." E. W. GROVE'S ilsnature on the
bo. . 0c Adv. . . . ,
grate was empty. He pointed persist
ently to its cold remains and loudly
demanded "feu." They seemed a little
offended and volubly and unitedly pro
tested that there was nothing doing.
Now there is a great difference in the
French pronunciation as well as their
definition of "feu" (fire) and "fou"
(fool). It did not occur to the wearied
stranger until some time afterward
that he may have been misunderstood.
He got an egg ("oeuf"), but he said
"oof" and apparently they thought he
was trying to bark, but some one of
superior powers of divination finally
figured It out. Milk (lat) was easy;
but he didn't get it, forthere was none.
Hotel Poorly Equipped.
The hotel had been all but vacant a
long time, and was poorly equipped
with provisions. The woman in charge
had stayed there alone during the whole
period of the German long-range bom
bardment and threatened invasion;' but
the population had mostly gone. Amiens
was, indeed, for a time in German
hands in 1914. The invaders went
through on their way to Paris and then
they went back and took their stand a
little to the east. All' around It were
the significant and Inevitable signs of
the war and within were many damaged
buildings, including the great Amiens
cathedral-.
From Doullennes to Amiens a splen
did highway from the north were
hundreds and thousands of German
prisoners, making road repairs. They
were well enough dressed and evidently
well fed. They stopped work invariably
to watch the passerby. But the testi
mony was that they were Industrious
and tractable. Here and there among
them was an officer, who stood sol
emnly apart and apparently aided In
the direction of the men. The British
or American or French guard usually
sat down by the roadside with his bay
oneted gun resting on the ground and
pointing heavenward, passing the time
as best he could while waiting for the
quitting hour. There was no thought
that there would be an outbreak of any
kind; and probably there rarely was.
Where were the prisoners to go. even
if they overpowered the sentinel? A
daylight escape In a hostile country,
with armed troops everywhere, was out
of the question.
Many of the prisoners can speak Eng
lish, it is said, and others of them
French. But It is of no great use to
them, except to subject them, Imme
diately after capture, to the severest
Inquisition as to their knowledge of
German equipment units, stations and
the like. Some of them talk readily
enough... But many of them,, either
through amiability or design, tell main- '
ly those things which they think their'
queslioneraswlU be glad to hear.
Leara a Bit. Is Advice
While the ability of the German
prisoner of war to tell what he knows
or doesn't know in French to a French
officer may not be a desirable accom
plishment, It Is nevertheless good coun
sel to learn a little of the language If
you are going through the provinces.
You go to France, ordinarily, to see
France and the French, and not to
meet your own people. In England. It Is, .
of course, easy to get along anywhere,
for most of them speak English you
can understand, though I am bound to
add that both the Scotch and the Irish
do it better. .
There was a banquet in London ,
wnere everyone at table was asked to
tell a story. Every American present
complied. It Is a curious fact that every
Englishman, without exception, pro
tested that he could not tell a story. In
the American fashion, but be would
narrate an anecdote or a personal ex
perience. One guest, a novelist of note
both in England and America, said
that he knew no humorous tales, and
could remember no Incident worth re
peating and asked to be excused. An
thony Hope came nearer the American
method than the thers.
"I don't know a story," he said, "but
I will tell one that Richard Harding
Davis told on me. Davis says I was in
New York and I packed my bag and
put on my hat and coat and started for
the .Grand Central Station. I got lost
and I thought I vould ask a citizen.
"Who la Hell's Stopntn Yon f
" My friend." I said to a loiterer with
bis back to a lamp-post, 1 want to get
to Boston.'
"'Well, who in hell's stopping youT"
A distinguished lawyer narrated at
length a courtroom Incident Introduc
ing in turn the Judge, the lawyers, the
witnesses and the defendant. It was
well done, except that through the
peculiarities of English enunciation
many of his words were not understood
and the tale was entirely lost. It Is our
habit to criticise the English for their
tendency to swallow syllables and en
tire words. But a study of the phe
nomenon of English speech leads to the
conclusion that It Is nearly all a matter
of emphasis or inflection. They under
stood one another perfectly, strange as
it may seem. They have the same dif
ficulty with the American enunciation
as the American has with the English.
Nevertheless, It is perfectly true that
the Englishman, like Lloyd George or
Earl Grey or Lord Balfour, Is distinct
and understandable in his every letter
and word.
The platform English Is the same as
the Ameilcan English; colloquial Eng
lish Is not. The English humor Is not
necessarily different, for the English
have produced the greatest humorists
In the world, or some of them, and the
finest story-tellers. The editors merely
had bad luck at that banquet- The
average Englishman Is not a raconteur;
most Americans are, or try to be.
