If -Fritz Pokes His Little
Christmas Trees Over Top
They Wffl Be Riddled
By a United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Dec. 17. There will be
no holiday trench amenities between
f ritz and Sammy on the Auurican front
this Christmas. Fritz may try it, but
he won 't get far.
This came . officially from the war
department today.
When Fritz pokes his seductive little
yuletido trees up over the trench top in
the American sector they will got the
same do30 the Tommies and poilus gave
them last winter when they shot them to
pieces-as fast as. they appeared.
There will be no American reply to
Fritz 's bellowed greetings, either. When
he roars his gutterals across No Man's
Land the Sammies will let their guns
answer him.
With the picture of their first killed
and wounded fresh in his mind, it is
considered unlikely by war department
officials that the American Sammy will
so much as countenance a lull in the fir
ing Christmas eve or Christmas Dar.
With broad hints of peace offer
trickling through from Amsterdam, it
is considered certain the boche will evi
dence a desire to be friendly during
the holidays. But the only present Sam
my has tor Fritz is a lot of nice Christ
mas explosives which will not only be
delivered the Teuton via gun powder ex
press, but also opened up and scattered
around "JTmong him lavishly. Sammy's
only Christinas greeting tp him will
be "fight!" and all his Christmas vis
its will be paid with the point of his
bayonet preceding him.
"Primarily," said the official dec
laration at the war department today,
"there is no spirit of fraternization
among our troops. They are there for
business, not pleasure.
"Then, too, our command in France is
in verv close touch with tlio French.
They understand the situation thorough
ly and know preciselv how to deal with
it. - "
"If it is found advisable to make it
clear to "the American troops that no
tinge of comradship is to be shown in
the holiday fighting, General Pershing,
might issue a general order, but it is
not believed this will be necesrary."

any information of value was taken.
The occurrence is worrying British
officials, particularly in view of recent
discovery of a carrier pigeon in the mis
sion 's offices. Its presence has never
been satisfactorily explained.
An air of added mystery is added by
the fact that another pigeon is reported
to have been discovered in the offices
