There was a quiet family New Tear's
dinner at the Murat mansion. No busi

only departure from the injunction of
Admiral Grayson to devote the day to
complete relaxation and repose came in
the afternoon, when he received a New

Beyond this he had no appointments.
The conferences in Rome with the
Italian statesmen will, in a sense, be
a continuation of those held here when
King Victor Emmanuel visited Paris
and the President also talked with
Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister
Sonnino. The results of President
Wilson's conferences wUh the British

have an important relation to the con

36 Hours AH Avenues of
Escape for Seventh and Eighth
Divisions Are Closed.
LONDON, Tuesday, Dec 31. (British
Wireless Service.) Details of what
was, perhaps, one of the most spec
tacular operations of the war became
known today when General Allenby's
report on the Palestine campaign was
published. British, Indian. French and
Italian contingents participated and in
addition forces from east of the Jordan
assisted. The British navy also had a
share.
A force vastly superior to the Turk
ish armies was gathered against the
right wing of the enemy's army, near
the Mediterranean Coast. On the morn
ing of September 19. after an intense
bombardment lasting only 15 minutes,
the allies attacked. A great gap was
torn in the Turkish lines and through
t were sent masses of cavalry.
Within 36 hours," says General Al
enby. "all the main avenues of escape
for the Seventh and Eighth Turkish
armies had been closed. All organized
enemy resistance ceased and roads
were blocked by retreating men and
transport. Then the allied air forces
hurled themselves at the huddled
masses of Turks.
The Turkish armies melted into
ohtlngness," says the report. "A junc
tion was made with the Arabs and the
way to Damascus and Aleppo was
open.

PARIS, Jan. 1. All the correspond

which was kept at Potsdam had been
burned, as well as a number of docu

tions, according to a statement made to
a correspondent of Le Matin by Karl
Kautzky, who is preparing a white
book dealing with the origin of the
war.
Kautzky said ' the book would con

on the war from the ascension . of

most serious results.
RELIEF WORK CANNOT STOP
Hoover Reports It Impossible for the
French Government to Take
Up Work of Commission.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. Relief work
being carried on in Northern France
by the Commission for Relief in Bel
gium and the pitiable condition of the
1.500.000 inhabitants of that section
who escape.! the German invasion, are
described in a cablegram received at
the headquarters of the commission
here from Herbert C. Hoover at Paris.
Mr. Hoover's message, made public
tonight, revealed that the work of re
lief and rehabilitation in France will
fall more heavily on the commission
than had been expected. Mr. Hoover
said relief wrok must include not only
food and clothing, but housing over a
considerable area.
An enlarged organization to handle
the situation is being built up and sup
plies have been obtained from the
Quartermaster's Department of the
American Army.
Industrial Life Paralysed.
Industrial life in the invaded region
has. been almost completely paralyzed,
Mr. Hoover said. Railroads have been
rendered almost hopeless of reconstruc
tion for many months. The coal mines
have been destroyed and there is
scarcely a single factory that can be op
erated without a very large portion of
new equipment.
"The Commission for Relief in Bel
gi'im," said Mr. Hoover's message, "had
hoped to surrender the task of relief of
.Northern France to the French govern

treat. It has been found impossible.

Professor "Calls Turn" on Seismic
Shocks Felt. Jan. 1 and Says
Another Is Due Jan. 15.
SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 1. An earth
quake shock, located approximately
2442 miles from Spokane, and jnovin
in a north to south direction, was re
corded on the seismograph of Gonzaga
University here todays The first shock
which lasted half an hour, was fe
at 7:22 A. M., and the heaviest shock
was recorded at 7:33.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. Seismograph
of the Georgetown University Observa'
tory recorded heavy earth shocks last
night, beginning at 10:18 o'clock and
lasting until after midnight. The dis
tance was estimated at 2300 miles from
Washington.
Professor Albert F. Porta, astrono
mer at Oakland, Cal.. last Sunday pre
dieted "a very violent earthquake will
occur on or about January 1-4, due to
the conjunction of the earth with
the planet Jupiter." He said that this
conjunction will be the most powerful
generator of planetary electro-magnetic
energy this month, causing the great
est terrestrial disturbances In January,
earthquakes and storms. He went on
to say:
And because the latitudes of these
two planets, on January 2, will be al
most eual one another, the aforesaid
solar disturbances will integrate them
selves into a huge spotted fucular field
which will suddenly form on the central
region of the visible solar hemisphere.
snd conseuently, a very violent earth
quake will occur as stated.
"Afterwards, turning about the solar
axis it will powerfully contribute for
the advent of a severe storm which will
rage along our coast during the period
January 2-7.
This solar disturbance wHl disappear
n the western limb of the sun on
January 8, and reaching the central re
gion of the invisible solar hemisphere,
probably will produce some other earth
quake shocks, on or about January 15."

and Banners Destroyed.
URN SHATTERED BY RAIDERS
Copies of Wilson's Speech Arq

LEADERS TAKEN BY POLICE
Soldiers, Sailors and Citizens Join
in Attempt to Halt Demon
stration at Capital.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. An out
break occurred tonight in front of the
White House when soldiers, sailors and
citizens undertook to end a "watch
fire" demonstration, started in La
fayette Park by "sentinels" of the Na
tional woman's party, as a protest
against the failure of the Senate to
pass the equal suffrage amendment.
Women carrying banners were
knocked downby the charging crowd
and their banners destroyed. An urn
In which the "watch fire" was burning
was destroyed. After the police had re-
tored order the women started a new
fire in one of the big urns in the park
nd five of them were arrested for vio
lation of park regulations. They re
fused to furnish bond and were held
t a precinct station.
Coplen of Speeches Burned.
During the afternoon the women
urned copies of speeches delivered by
President Wilson in Europe and as the
last one was destroyed the "sentinels"
unfurled a banner bearing an Inscrlp.
ion denouncing President Wilson as
false prophet of democracy." A
ozen soldiers and sailors instantly
surrounded the banner and shut it
from the gaze of the crowd and sev
eral hundred persons.
An Army captain then stepped in
front of the spectators and called for
three cheres for the President, "the
orld's leader of democracy and the
best friend the women of America ever
ad."
Crowd Cheers President.
The crowd gave the cheers with a
will, but there was no attempt then to
molest the "sentinels."
Aftr the "watch fire" had been put
out tonight, the women started another
and party leaders announced that every
possible effort would be made to keep
it going until the Senate passes the
ment.
American commission has been thor
oughly organized during the President's
absence in England and everything is
practically ready to begin business
when he returns from Italy.
There appears no reason for altering
the forecast, made four weeks ago, that
President Wilson intends to be back In
Washington before the closing of the
American Congress, on March 4, or
that. If necessary, he will return to
France early In the Spring to continue
his work. There are, however, some
indications that the President's hope
that his return win not do necessary
may be realized.
ROME. Jan. 1. (By the Associated
Press.) Preparations for the reception
of President Wilson in Rome are being
carried out actively night and day.

At the capitol, where the President
will be received by the municipality,
which will confer on him the title of
"citizen of Rome," the preparations are
particularly elaborate. The spacious
halls of the capitol are being hung with
priceless tapestries and decorated with
flowers and plants. All the shops are
showing the American colors, and In
their windows are portraits of Presi
