TWO SUITS UNDER THE SHERMAN ANTITRUST LAW
Anthracite Coal Business in PennsyI-
 Vania Before Supreme Court.

Washington, Dec. 21-Two far-reach- ing suits under the Sherman anti trust law reached the supreme court today, one involving the anthracite coal business in Pennsylvania and the other growing out of labor troubles in the Arkansas coal fields.
 The government appealed from the decision of the federal district court in eastern Pennsylvania, which sus- tained only partly the attorney gen. erals contentious in the suit to dis solve a number of alleged illegal com binations in the suit to dissolve a number of alleged illegal combinations of railroads and coal companies in the anthracite coal fields in Pennsylvania. It is understood the coal interests may file a cross appeal in the same case.
 The second case was an appeal by A. $. Dowd, receiver for the Corona do Coal company and SSsociated com panies in Sebastian county, Arkansas, from the decision of the federal dis trict court in western Arkansas dis missing the receivers suit against the United Mine Workers of America and its local unions and officers for SI- 2S3, GOO a streble damages for alleged conspiracy and combination in viola tion of the Sherman law

TURKS CAPTURED ENORMOUS
 QUANTITIES OF AMMUNITION
On the Withdrawal of British From
 the GaIlipoli Peninsula.

Berlin, Dec. 21-CBy Wireless to ammunition. cannon and tents were taken by the Turks on the withdrawal of the British from the positions evac- uated on the Gallipoli peninsula it was officially announced in the Turk ish hcadquarters'- report dated De- cember 20 received here today from Constantinople. In the British at tack on the Seddul-Bahr front which preceded the withdrawal from the oth- CT sectors the British suffered enor- nous losses, it is declared
 The statement follows:
 turkish troops, during the night of December 1S-19, after heavy artil- lery preparation began an attack against the enemy's positions near An afarta and Ariburnu. The enemy, in order to check this attack, made a gen. eral attack along the whole Seddul- Bahr front which completely failed with enormous losses.
 Tn view of the certainty of the Turkish successes in advances toward the north, tht enemy during the night of December 1920 hastily withdraw part of his troops. The enemy was unable to impede the purspit by the Turkish. troops so that no enemy troops now remain at Anafarta or at Ari Burnu.
 Enormous quantities of ammuni- ton, cannon and tents were taken
 An enemy hydroplane was shot down and the occupants made prison CT"

CRITICISM OF CAMPAIGN
 FOR WAR PREPAREDNESS
By Walter L. Fisher, Former Secretary
 of the Interior.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Criticism of the preparedness campaign of the national administration was voiced today by Walter L. Fisher, former secretary of the interior, in an address at the Uni versity of Chicago.
 Preparations for peace" was the title of MT. Fishers discussion. and he pointed out the danger that the United States might be "misled into S elieving that preparation for war is he most important thing for us if we desire to secure our own peace and promote the peace of the world" He argued that the only certain way to prepare for peace is ito 6o the things that promote peace and not the things that make for war and promote war"
 The real evil" he said, lies in the doctrine of political and economic i'm pertalism common to so many nations the doctrine that holds that the eco- homie welfare of every nation depends upon securing constantly expanding opportunities for trade; and that such opportunities are best to be found by acquiring political dominion over. or spheres of influence in, other countries especially in countries relatively back ward in industrial development, but capable of such development
 If we desire to reduce the chance of war the surest way to accomplish this result is first by seeing that cur own national purposes and methods are not based upon the desire for eco- homie expansion by means of any spe- clal privilege that discriminates in fa- vor of our people as against those of any other nation: and, secondly, oy doing everything in our power to bring other natioriS to this same conclusion including active cooperation with other nations to this same conclusion, including active cooperation with other nations to secure this result

XMAS PARCELS FOR FRENCH
 SOLDIERS AT THE FRONT
May Be Sent by inhabitants Without
 Paying Postage.

Paris. Dec. 21, 4.5S p. m.-Anyone in France may send a Christmas parcel weighing up to two pounds to sol dier at the front without paying post age on the package. A bill conferring this privilege, which holds good from date until Jan. 9th, was unanimously passed by parliament today. Letters are always carried free.
 The families of soldiers have not waited for the passage of this law, but have been overlooking for some time past the means of transport to the front with Christmas packages. They have sent cold chickens. meat pies, hams, cakes, sweetmeat and preserved fruit and every imaginable kind of wearing apparel that would keep out wet and cold. Soldiers at the front are always supplied with plenty of to- bacco and beverages and many have requested their families not to send drinkables.
 The government, indeed, excludes anything put up in glass, because of the danger of breakage and consequent damage to the presents of other send CTS.
 Probably 100000 men from the front will spend Christmas with their fam flies.

PRESIDENTS ADVISOR
 TO SAIL FOR EUROPE
Col. E. M. House Says He is Taking
 Information to Ambassadors.


 New York. Dec. 21.-Colonel B. M. House, confidential advisor of Presi- dent Wilson, stated late today that he will soon cail for Europe at the re- quest of the president.
 Colonel House declared that the sole purpose Cf Q trip would be to deliver to certain .nerican ambassadors in- formation regarding this government s attitude on various international mat ters now pending. He denied emphat- ically that his trip will in any way be Q peace mission.
 Colonel House said he expected ito sail from here within the next two weeks and would probably be in Eu- rope about six or eight weeks hence.
 T am going to Europe at the re- quest of the president and the secre- tary of state for the purpose of taking information to some of our ambassa- dors," he said, "in order that they may have a more intimate knowledge of this governments attitude regarding certain phases of international ques- tions and in order to obtain from them their point of view on these matters.
 "It is not advisable to bring home at this time any of the ambaSsado dors from the belligerent' countries. It has been found impossible to convey or obtain by cable or correspondence quite the correct atmosphere"

RAISED HOPES oF N. H.
 DIRECTORS NOW ON TRIAL
Remarks of Judge Hunt Interpreted to
 Mean AcquittaI of Sore.

Mean AcquItrGt CT SoTne'
 New York, Dec. 21.-Remarks by Judge Hunt today at the trial of the eleven former New Haven railroad di- rectors, charged with conspiracy un- der the Sherman law, as to the gov ernment's position that the evidence in the case applies to ali the defend ants equally, raised hopes in the minds I of their attorneys that the court might direct a verdict of acquittal in { the case of certain of them at least.
 Judge Hunt, while listening to fur ther argument on the motion for dis rrissaI of the indictment, mentioned the names of Henry K. McHarg and Frederick E. Brewster as having par ticipated in the alleged conspiracy to a less degree than some of the other defendants. The fact that he appar- ently took recognition of difference in the degree of participation by the defendants, caused counsel to express confidence that they woe1d be able to convince the court that these and others held to be in the same class should be immediately acquitted. They pointed to Robert W. Taft, James s. Hemingway, D. Newton Barneq, \. Heaton Robertson and Charles M. Pratt as in this category.

session and believe at least six indict- ments will be returned.
 Substantial progress also was made today in the investigation into the plot which Paul Koenig, head of the Ham, burg American line detective force, is charged with organizing to blow ur the Welland canal. Frederick Metzler Koenig's secretary, who has turned states evidence, was before the grand jury several hours.
 Agents of the department of justice declared today they had proof that Koenig had been employed in certain instances by Captain Franz von Papen the dismissed German military attache who sails for Germany tomorrow, but they refused to discuss Won Papen's activities, referring inquiries to Sec retary of State Lansing.

GENEROUS BURROUGHS
 FOR FRENCH SOLDIERS,
American Aviators Have Been Allowed
 Eight Days in America.

Paris, Dec. 21.-The French military administration has been generous with leaves, and soldiers are now allowed six days at home, not counting tie time of going and coming. The Amer ican aviators, Lieutenant William K Thaw of Pittsburgh, Sergeant Norman Prince of Boston and Sergeant Elliot c. Cowdin of New York, have been all lowed eight days in America, exclusive of the time for the voyage. They are on board the steamer Rotterdam.
 While Christmas in Paris will be less gay than usual, the mothers, as is indicated by the crowded shops, are buying freely for the children. The government will not permit restaurants and cafes to remain open later than the usual closing hour of 10.30 o'clock and there is no more reserving at prices of tables in noted restaurants for midnight supper parties. Also there will be none of the One-time street friyolities

London. Dec. 21. 7.OS p. m.-Replying to Premier Asquith's speech in the house of commons today, John Dillon said:
 Before we sanction the fourth mil lion of men, We ought to be told what is the basis of the governments de- mand. In no case have the failures of the war been due to lack of men. and before the government enforces con- scription the men responsible for these failures must be removed
 What is the use of sending troops to be led by men like those responsible for the Suvla Bay and Anzac fail ures?''
