The young musicians of this class have certainly won a place in tho hearts of those who are privileged to hear them, entering into their music with Understanding and as though they loved it. The spirit of music in these young childrcn is most encouraging and inspiring. Every number was gem and was greatly enjoyed by all it noma oe difficult to sav that one excelled tho others. Mr. and .urs.

The first part of the evening was spent in renewing acquaintances and identifying the guests with friendB of happier day. At about 8:30, a ser pentine was formed, and. to the in spiring tune of "Phils, O Phils, the tramps are marching," the hobos seat ed themselves around the bonfire. Hero the I. W.

Mrs. Delia Crowder Miller, formerly a plat form speaker of some note, treated the crowd to a medley of verse interspers ed with selections upon a mouth organ. Following the riroeram. the crowd joined hands and played Tucker, Vir ginia reel, and other games which were reminiscent of the days before mis- tortune had befallen them.

BRITISH WAR AIMS (Continued from page one) holds if the Germanized portion of Lor raine desires to remain German, that section should be allowed to be a nart nf the German empire. But the British em pire holds that the greater part of Lor raine as well as all of Alsace, uumis taldy belongs to France. In the Laltaiis, adjustment of terri tori.il boundaries is hi-Id by Great Brit ain to be a problem fof decision of the international peace bodv but with ad heretic? to President Wilson's principle or uues or nations to te drawn on the basis of nationality of the peoples there ot. It is felt that the Balkan countries cojild never come to an agreement among themstlve?. An actual return of Italia-Irredeuta is supported bv Britain includliie Trieste and Treutino. But Euglaud cauuot sup port Italian flaiuis for Balmatia and other territory of this character. As To Commercial War. -Poland, in the British view, is to be permitted to work out her own destiu- 1 ies but the same right must be ac corded tourland and Lithuania. As to Teuton purposes. Thus far neither the k;;iser nor his minions have shown any inclination to alter the German government system whereby war end atroc-tTies can be foisted on a friendly world, hence any peace proposal minus such a declara tion is useless, in view of President Wilson's and Lloyd-George's declara tions of unity in respect to war aims. Allied diplomats made it clear, too, that any peace terms must include the return of Belgium, Serbia and Rumania at least partially restored. The diplo mats insisted it would be entirely in- acceptable to have the restoration paid tor by British money given for Ger man colonies, lhey could see nangln but treachery behind Germany's peace .Maneuvers. Tney entertained the thought, however, that Germany's rej.1 motives will finally sink into Kussiaa consciousness and swerve the Slav from separate peace maneuvers- Trot sky's announcement that he had givfii the allies two months in which to ,ioin the peace movement may be an indica tion of waning enthusiasm iu tho mids"? of the mad Russian rush for peace. The most notable effects of Ger many's presont maneuvers toward peace are likely to be the threat of a crushing drive on the west front and what is more important the speeding of American war work. It is now clear that unless American participation iu the war has not passed the preparation stage by spring, allied confidence will begin to wane. KAISER REFUSES (Continued from page one) Arrival of Firemen San Francisco. Dec. 21. Fire in an apartment house on Waller street early today endangered the lives of a dozen American forces assigned to British medical service, and Ralph' Dodson, Ml, with'a British medical corps- Bean re cently wrote to his brother that he had heard of a doctor named Dodson sta tioned about two miles from his cam1.

Helbine was arrested, chare ed with arson. In the basement of the building fire men found that three barrels of j?aso- line had Jjeen tipped over. A candlo had teen attached to a striae, which when pulled, would tip over, igniting excel to the gasoline. On the second floor of the building a similar device had been arranged. iieioiug was arrested when the string was foutid to run tohis room. The string was attacned to Doth candle and gaso line barrels. One bath tub was partially filled with gasoline. Early arrival of the firemen exposed the plot. A roomer, awakened by smoke, gave the alarm and a dozen roomers rushed into the . street in the night clothes. Threo men were slightly in jured. The apartment house was partially de stroyed. Many Ex-Oregon Men ' Have Army Commissjons JMKEKS" f To Arrange Armistice. Amsterdam, Dec. 21. An Austro- Hungarian delegation, representing all branches of the government and headed by an officer of the foreign office, Dr. Von Heniptl, left for Petrograd yester day to arrange further armistice details dispatch Irom v lenna Btated today. They will meet a commission of Rus sians. One film expert adjudges "The Birth of A Nation," "Intolerance," and 'Joan, the Woman," as the three great est motiun pictures ever produced. President Wilson's views as to a com mercial war on Germany after the arm ed war, there is general belief in Brit- sh official circles that nature will take are of this but certainly, it was point ed out, twenty one nations of the world now opposed to Germany will not be willing immediately to resume business relations with their enemy. Regarding Belgium, full reparation after relinquishment is the policy in sisted upon. The British government, it was held, endorses fully the recent dec larations on this point by the British labor party, the extreme liberals of Brit. ish politics. The labor party's full war aims at titude as to restoration of land and in estimations of cruelties on land and sea is endorsed bv British officialdom. There is general approval of the plan for a protectorate of christian powers over tne itoly Land henceforth. LTuiversitv of Oregon, Euucne. Dec. 21.
