|RUSS|A'S CHRISTMAS.
IS BEING CELEBRATED.
Celebrations in Order and
Will Continue Well Be-
yOnd New Year

Petrograd. January 7.-tVia London,
1855 p. m.)-War's shadow failed to dark
en- Russia's Christmas celebration. which
began today and will be prolonged by
festivities well beyond New Years.
AS in other places in Europe. the war
has interfered to some extent with such
Christmas customs as feasting and drink
ing, which suffer from the rigid enforce
ment of the prohibition laws and the
difficulty on importing dainties. Oranges
and apples were selling on the Russian
Christmas eve at 25 cents each. But II
some homes are empty of the material
accessories to the Christmastide, the
spiritual and religious side of the Christ
mas life has been given an unusual inn
pulse by military successes In the Cau-
casus and the higher community OF in
terests of nation at war.
On the streets the holiday season man.
ifested itself in the sharp wind which
sent the mercury below zero the chill
dren gathered around blazing street fires,
singing Christmas carols, and the bustlng
parcel laden crowds exchanging greet
ings and the thousands on the way to
cathedrals for observance of religious
rites.
The American hospital gave reception
and concert for the wounded soldiers.

Rights of Neutrals Is
FavOrably Received

Washington. January 7--Sscretary

ing the special commission of the Pan
American. union, named to conssler pro-

rights OF neutrals in time of war listened
to an extended argument today by pr
Santos A. Dominica the Venezuelan min
lister. urging that a congress of neu-
tral diplomts be held in Washington.
No action was taken, but it was learned
the plan was favorably received. The
general expectation is that after the
Pan-American union Terminates concrete
proposals diplomatic representatives OF
ali neutral countries in Asia and Eu-
rope would be invited to general con-
ference, at which such proposals would
be discussed and later submitted to the
belligerents.
A report from a subcommittee on the
Chilean proposal, which would limit the
amount of coal to a belligerent warshir
to a quantity enabling II to reach the
nearest port of an adjacent country in
stead of "the nearest home port as pro-
vided by The Hague rules. brought a long
discussion, but no action was taken.
The suggestion of Peru for the creation
of neutral zone in both the Atlantic
and Pacific within which belligerent war
ships would be prevented from engaging
in hostile operations was referred tc
the American section of the international
board of jurists.
