The spirit of unselfishness was.

however, cutters darted from war
ships to landing stages and by dusk
only skeleton crews remained aboard.

from the Battery to the Bronx and
grouped around each tree were thou

there the real spirit of Christmas.

to and provided entertainment for 42,
tiOO soldiers and sailors in hospitals
and camps. Ten thousand families
opened their homes to one or more
service men, who were provided holiday
dinners. At War Camp Community

PARIS CHRISTMAS QUIET ONE
Ban Is Placed on Traditional Slid-
night Sapper.
PARIS. Dec. 25. The Victory Christ
mas celebration in Paris varied little
from that of the Christmas days during
the war. The authorities maintained
the ban on the traditional midnight
supper on the ground that it was a
mere waste of food and lighting ma
terial which could ill be spared at
present.
There were scores of promenaders
along the boulevards, among them
many American soldiers and British
colonial men on leave, but such rev
elry as developed was of the most sub
dued order. The. American military
clubs, hospitals and other institutions,
all carried out the Christmas festivi
ties they had arranged.
The programme of the Knights of
Columbus for Christmas day included
the giving of turkey dinners .at their
various huts in France and In the
occupied districts of Germany for thou
sands of the members of the American
expeditionary force. The Santa Claus
of the occasion at several huts was

a reply. Several days during his ill
ness the ex-Emperor saw only his
wife and bis Immediate attendants.
The former Empress also remains in
her apartment, not even going into the
gardens within the surrounding moats.
This morning a Christmas tree was
brought Into the castle for tonight's
celebration, which will be a most un
pretentious affair. Those participat
ing besides the ex-Emperor and Em
press will be a number of officers,
who resigned their commissions in the
German army In order to remain In
the vicinity of their former ruler's
retreat, and household servants and or
derlies. Several of these officers were
busy throughout the day arranging the
details of the celebration, in which
Count von Bentlnck will participate.
They purchased presents which the for
mer Emperor and Empress will ex
change according to custom, and also
gifts for their attendants.
The ex-Emperor Is as yet undecided
about making a public declaration and
still declines - to receive any corre
spondents. 5 DEAD, 27 HURT IN WRECK

PRESIDENT'S VISIT TO
T
Diplomatic Conferences Re
garded With' Interest.
WILSON'S IDEAS WANTED
British Minister Said to Be Partic
ularly Eager to Hear Opinions
on Freedom of Seas.
BY JAMES M. TL'OIir.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement-
PARIS, Dec 25 (Special Cable.) In
British quarters here great diplomatic
importance Is attached to - President
Wilson's visit to England at this time,
although It was first given out that
he did not propose to talk business
while there, treating the visit as cere
monial. But he Is to have a conference with
Lloyd George. A. J. Balfour and Bonar
Law, the morninn after his arrival, to
which the President will bring the ex
haustive knowledge which he has
gained while here on the French and
Italian views and Interpretations of the
fourteen points, and will thus be able
to prepare the ground for the regular
Paris discussions.
British Want to Be Shown.
The British ministers are particu
larly eager to have President Wilson's
Ideas on the freedom of the seas, in re
lation to which thorny question the
British Admiralty has prepared an Im
mense quantity of documentary am
munition both from the legal and his
torical aspects for distribution at the
peace conference. The position of the
British authorities on this subject is
that they have yet to be shown any
rule of the seas which will work as
equitably as theirs has hitherto done,
but they are quite willing, even anx
ious, that the whole topic be ventilated
from every standpoint.
The President Is likely to arrange
with the British Premier the order of
discussion of the different p6ints for
the subsequent meetings In Parts, and
it is suggested here that the league of
nations Is destined have priority.
Cecil Favors Nations' Lean-He.
On this subject the President will
have the opportunity of conferring
with Lord Robert Cecil, who has been
especially detailed with It for Great
Britain and in whom the President will
find a convinced and enthusiastic ad
vocate of the absolute necessity for a
league of nations tf future wars are
to be avoided.
It Is clear that the President may
prolong his visit to London for a few
days If the circumstances of the Inter
changes with the British government
make It desirable. In any case he will
have the experience of being on British
soil upon the declaration of the result
Of the most momentous general election
in her history, and will probably be
surprised by the undemonstrative calm
of the British people on these occa
sions. Official Casualty Report.

LIVED TWO YEARS
ON RAW EGG DIET
John II. Packer Gains 44 rounds
and Now Eats Anything.
Suffered 20 Years.
"When a man has had to live for
two years on nothing much except raw
eggf. on account of stomach trouble,
and then finds a medicine that fixes
him up in less than two months so he
can eat sauerkraut, meats of all kinds
and anything else he wants. I think It
Is time for Mm to talk for the benefit
of others. Well. Tanlac has done all
i this for mo and more, for I am now
forty-four pounds heavier than I was
the day I began taking it and am now
enjoying better health than 1 have in at
last fifteen years," was the reniark-
able statement made by John H. Tacker,
patentee and proprietor of the Packer
oil filter, who lives at Liberty, Mo,
recently.
"For twenty years or more." he con
tinued. "1 have suffered with my stom
ach and. although I have spent thou
sands of dollars, nothing ever helped
me until I got Taniac. My appetite left
me entirely and what little I did eat
would almost double me up with pain
and 1 would bloat up with gas until
I could scarcely breathe. During the
past five years, especially. I have suf
fered a great deal from constipation,
felt tired out all the time, had no ener
gy and was so drowsy and listless that
If I tried to talk business to a man
It was an effort to express what I
wanted to say. My health finally got
so bad that I was forced to give up a
splendid position In Pocatello. Idaho,
and nobody except those In the same
condition can fully understand how I
su f fered.
"I had almost lost faith In all medi
cines, as I had tried so many without
results, but Tanlac certainly has been
a revelation to me. I can now eat Just
anything I want and never experience a
particle of trouble. I have never bad a
better appetite, and all signs of Indi
gestion, gas and distress after eating
are gone. Tanlac has also relieved me
of constipation and strengthened and
built me up until I feel as full of energy
as when 1 wa's a boy. When I first
started on Tanlac I weighed one hun
dred and twenty-four pounds, but I now
weigh one hundred and sixty-eight and
a half, and this shows how well suited
to my case Tanlac was."
