CHRISTMAS TREES SHY.
San Francisco, Pec. 21. Sauta Claus
trill have more stockings to fill and
fewer trees to decorato this year, ac
cording to Christinas tree dealers. The
car shortage has resulted iu practlcnllv
shutting off San Francisco's Christmas
I only large California trees are avail-
able. So the youngsters will have to
content themselves with borrowing fath
er's socks.
Dustin rarnum began life in New
, England. Ills first professional engage
i ment was as a baritone horn plover in
tree supply from Oregon and that means the Btiekport band.
Pupils of Mrs. Walter A. Denton
gave two nuisicales this week. On Wed
nesday night the vounger puiuls giv
ing a delightful and interesting Christ
mas program. Rovena Eyre as Christ
mas fairy, and Prance Martin, Vir
giuia Berger, Maxine Glover, Helen
Ashliman, 1-ienneitta Edwards and Eliz
abeth Lewis as rainbow fairies opened
tho program with their song of wel
come.
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. Santa t.Iaus came in
after the conclusion of the program
and showed their appreciation for the
children's splendiili efforts- A jolly
time followed, and the children were
sorry when the time came for Mr. and
itrs. iSanta to take their departure.

E
zens of Salem were more or less amaz
ed at the number of. suspicious look
ing vagrants-who thronged the streets
in groups of three or sixes on their
way to their hobo party.
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. W's who had once been Phil- I
odonans, gave an account of tho hard
life they had led since they hit tlte
trail- The stririt moved Pa. formerly
Paderwiski) to contribute his hit, in
the form of a "heart rendering" piano
solo. This was followed by a male
quartet that successfully ushered John
buui lmt( eternal war. 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. A few of
the hobos who were feeling a little
"flush" stood treat for cider, ham-
ourg sandwiches, and cookies; and all
uociarett it a most successful party.
Airs. Oscar Frve left Thursday for

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.

sh official circles that nature will take

ed out, twenty one nations of the world
now opposed to Germany will not be

Regarding Belgium, full reparation
