BERLIN QUIET ON
new YEARS EVE

Berlin iva The Hague and Lon
dom. Jan. 1.-Berlin last night at
the passing of the old year showed
the outbreak of the war. that the
lite of the city is not proceeding in
its normal channels. The custom
airy celebrations which welcome the
advent of the new year were almost
entirely lacking.
Where twelve months ago hun
dreds OF persons had congregated to
take part in the festivities this year
the manifestants could be counted by
tens and the merry throngs which
formerly crowded the main thor
oughfares of Berlin on New Years
eve were replaced last night by a
limited gathering of citizens whose
social mein gave the occasion dis
tinctly solemn aspect. No horns
were blown and no bells were rung,
nor could any other noise making
contriyanCe be heard. Even the
customary ''prosit neujahr'' was
missing.
Another fact that struck observ-
ers of the night doings was that COM
paratively few men were present.
Formerl ythe police were very musy
on New Years eve but last night
they virtually had nothing to do.
The same quiet prevailed every
where. In the large cafes and res
taurants, where usually merry
crowds welcomed the coming of the
new year with song and laughter, ev-
erything was quiet. The people did
not even throw confetti BY COM

FRANCE SEES DANGER
IN COMMERCE
DISPUTE

Paris. Jan. Extensive COM
ments ON the American note to the
British government are appearing in
the French press. 1t is agreed that
no danger exists of a rupture of the
excellent relations between the Unit
ed States and England, France and
Russia. The opinion is expressed
generally that the conciliatory atti-
tude of both the American and Brit
ish governments point to an amicable
adjustment. America, it is said, of
all nations should avoid any unjust
policy. Several newspapers say that
President Wilson Is own reference to
the. sharp practices employed by some
American shippers appear to Justify
the precautionary measures which
nave been taken
The suggestion is made incidental
ly that the American note renders
imperative the publication by France
of the new list of contraband arti-
cles. This revised list has just been
agreed upon by the allies.
Germany. the newspaper declares,
has inaugurated new methods OF
warfare which are criticised severe
ly. n consequence of these meas
ures. ii is asserted, it has been nee
cssary for the allies to defend them
selves vigorously and all measures
have been declared necessary. The
opinion is that there will be little
trouble in making satisfactory ex-
nlanatiOn to America along these
lines.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM

Through the Press Service Of Agri.

minds Of this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to de-
liver a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk, and men
who talk seldom achieve. There is
no such thing as noisy thinker, and
breyity is always a close companion
TO truth
1t will be a great privilege to stand
by the side Of men who can roll In

Of It., to commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization a few

Too often we listen to the rabble
element Of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
Cruelty him" Mankind never has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
of its day. There never will be a
crown without a cross, progress with.

RIOTS IN BERLIN

the report that SOL
- diers shot down 200 Germans in
a bread riot in Berlin is either
exaggerated or untrue. 1t is not de-
MED, however. that the scarcity of
food has led to demonstrations de-
signed to induce the government to
provide some means of solving the
food problem. Indeed, this is admitted
by Berlin dispatches.
There need be little wonder at this.
It is remarkable that Germany has
been able to hold out as we'll as it has.
living within itself, SO to speak, and at
the same time feeding an immense
army in the field. 1t is a tribute to
the German system OF preparation for
which the government had been act
lively. although secretly. preparing for
some years before the Servian fiare-up
offered the necessary excuse to open
hostilities.
But the end is very apparently in
sight. 1t is not a question of who can
fight hardest and best, but of exhaus-
tion, and Germany faces a desperate
future. 1t is one thing to go out and
fight for your country and quite an
other to work at home for it and sec
your family hungry.

his dilemma, but these will insist, as
already outlined by Mr.. Mann, the
minority leader, that something de-
finite in the way of revenue is pro-
vided before millions Of expenditure
is authorized.
Cloture in the Senate was to have
been Wilson club. but it has already
proven a boomerang, the Democratic
caucus having buried the resolution
under many feet of earth. OF course.
it will be introduced as an amendment
to the rules, but that will be the end.
1t is an open secret that the presi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate is op-
posed to the administration on ship
purchase and other features of the
Wilson program. In the House the
Democratic leader is vigorously op-
posed to his defense plans and enough
members of his own party are out of
harmony with the President on other
things to practically wipe out the
small Democratic majority in the
lower branch of Congress.
There are breakers on every side
and the administration is now enter
ing upon its most crucial experience.
There is a narrow margin of "a Demo-
cratic votes in body of 435 members
and the party whip cannot be cracked
so recklessly as heretofore in forcing
through administration measures.
