Washington. Dec. 27.-A Pan-Aneri- sarlisnl practically identical with that Advocated by President Wilson in his message to Congress was supported today by speakers at the first session Df the second Pan-American scientific congress. A composite address of the p Speeches made would leave the i'm Pr@sston of general endorsement of the ldea- Secertary of State Lansing in hts capacity as an officer of the Uni ted States which invited the congress tol meet here, and presiding officer pf the governing board of the confer bnce. discussed Pan-Americanism as

 Eduardo Saurez, ambassador of Chile, expressed in general the atti- Jude of Latin-America and. heading the list of 19 charimenl of delegati tions, Ernesto Quesada of Beunos Aires, made the first of the five minute re- plies.
 The first general session took place In Memorial Continental hall, national headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution Men and wo-s men from every capital of South and Central America, from scores of other Latin American cities, and from all parts of the United States, about 1,500 en all, were present Four languages were. used, though the Portaguese of Brazil and the French of.

CHRITMAS TREES BLAZE ALONG BATTLE FRONT AS
 TROOPS CELEBRATE DAY

With the German Army in Northern France, Dec. A (via Lille and Berlin and London, Dec 27)-War is no re- specter of customs. Therefore there was no cessation of activity along the line in northern France on Christmas eve-if possible the French artillery fire more neary approximated the eel ebrated "drum 1re'' of the late Sep tember offensive than at any time since then.
 Christmas to the average German, however is the most important day of the year, and the Bavarians in northern France refused to allow the French artillery 5 to spoil their cele- bration. All along the inc, from the most advanced trenches, Christmas trees blazed almost as if in opposition to the flare of exploding shells
 It was the fortunate lot of the Asso- ciated Press correspondent to be able to spend Christmas eve with Bavar- ian reserve company, every member of which had been in the field, at least a year and most of whom spent the pre- ceding Christmas in the field The French guns boomed incessantly, shells ripping up acres of ground, but luckily not intruding upon the scene of the celebration.
 In order to spend the evening as nearly as possible in the accustomed way, all the members of the company had been assembled from their var ious posts and gathered in little wooden building just behind the front A tiny stage had been erected for the inevitable orchestra and speakers, and in one corner stood a title Christmas tree laden with tinse1 and sweets. Ad- Joining it were long tables on which were gifts for the so1diers-cigars. socks, mittens, chocolate and all kinds of wearing appareI-mostly home made articles stitched by loving fng CTS and intended to lessen in some de-. gree the rigors of winter time war. Not a man of the company was less than 39; years old and the majority of them were 45. Nine out of every 10, as one could tell by the rings on their fingers, were married. The ma jority, too, had sons in the field and many had lost their nearest and dear lest. The company's captain. in pri- vate life lawyer and one of the old est men in the service, had learned only a short time before that his son had fallen only a few miles away The fathers voice broke as he spoke of his sons death, yet five minutes later he mounted the Ittep latform and. spoke to his men in firm, ringing tones, in which there was no trace of the sorrow he had just expressed.
 The music was without exception devotional rather than patriotic The

marked the Americans. Interpreters provided by the State Department were used to reduce the whole to common tongue.
 After John Barrett, director general of the Pan-American congress, had called the session to order, the Pan American hymn was sung. It was an nounced that this song would hereaf- ter be the official hymn of Pan-Aner- ica.
 J Am bassador Suarez, who was elect ed president at the first congress in 1908 in Santiago, Chile, took charge of the session and Vice-President Mar shall welcomed the delegates in be- half of the United States government. The next speakers were Secretary Lansing and Ambassador Suarez. Re- sponses, limited to five minutes, were made by chairmen of the various del- egations.
 The scientific discussions will begin Thursday morning with the semi ror-
 nal opening of the main sections of the congress, at which arrangements will be completed for consideration of the general subject assigned to each. A plan to bring into closer 1ntel1ec- tuaI union the countries represented at the Pan-American Congress was pro- posed by Ernesto Quesado, chairman of the Argentine delegation. He sug- gested in his response to the addresses Of welcome that three subsidiary unions be formed, one to confederate all the universities of the Americas and second, to create a Bib1iothetical union and the third, archaeological union.

room fairly shook as the bearded men, most of them peasants, stood and sang hymn after hymn. After the first hymn servants brought in huge mugs of Munich beer. sent especially from Bavarian breweries The cap tain had received literally bales of presents for his men and as far as possible had divided them equally They lay in little piles on the tables, past which the soldiers filed Acci- dentally or through design, each re- servist had to pass his captain and for each the commanding officer had some special greeting
 Hello, Fritz, have you something from your wife % ''Merry Christmas. Johann, Is that boy of yours getting better?' were examples of his salutss- tions.
 Cannon were booming necessarily meanwhile and the glare of exploding shells was constantly visible. When a shell exploded specially near or with an unusually loud report the whole room broke into laughter As midnight approached the scene became gayer. Except for the uniforms one could not have guessed the celebrants were sol diers who had been separated from their families for months and who had lost friends or relatives on the field of battle Approximately every five minutes the orchestra started a hymn in which every one joined
 An element of earnestness was in jected into the celebration when the captain rose to speak Not as an of ficer to privates, but as man to man he thanked his soldiers for what they had done He referred to the previous Christmas and then to the hopeful expectation that peace would come soon, calling upon them to continue to render the same service to the F'atherIand as they had been giving His final words had just been spoken when a tremendous. French artillery sa.lvo sounded with boom that drowned every other sound It was followed by another salvo of pledges from the soldiers to stick it out until the last af1d assuring their captain oE their loyalty to the last drop of their blood
 The only civilian guests were Amer jeans who would not have been sur- prised at an unfrfend1y greeting, but the Bavarian reservists proved to be deli ghtful hosts and the humbIest Sol- dier of the company chose to forget that he had a grudge against Anerlca-

A days inspection of the city shows that the damage done to city build ings of any sort is virtually nil An expenditure of $2O,oOO would make good whatever masonry and window glass there was destroyed. But the old fort, Kale Megdan, fared worse. Its ancient walls were no match for the modern shell. The deep meats are filled with broken and powdered brick. Ka1e Megdan today is good only for exhibition purposes, though for centuries 1t held it's head high among the strong places that could not be reduced. The strong walls and deep ditches present a sorry spectacle. Parts of the wall were carried off bodily to great distances and the park in which the Belgradians used to listen to good military con- certs is filtered with bits of brick and rock which the ''3O.5' and the "42'' proJectiles sent flying. At the head of walk stands a monument conn memoratiVe of Berbia's delivery from Turkish rule. The various types of Serbia's civil classes are shown in adoration of @ figure above them, the last being peasant, hard of face and raw of bone. Through the mus cular leg and the sinewy arms bits of steel have crushed, emblematic of Serbia's fate, perhaps.
 The Konaks, old and new, have not suffered by the bombardment, as in deed has none of the city's other big or prominent buildings. But Belgrade is deserted. Its principal streets, we'll paved and clean1y kept, remind one of early Sunday morning in any we'll regulated city. Few people were in the streets and the shutters of the shops were down Good order has been kept by the Austro-Hungarians and to safeguard the health of their troops and give the poor chance to neT efT fY E1a- ing swept by men and women, though there seemed to be no need for it.
 West of Belgrade, across the Save, which is here about 4,00o yards wide, owing to high water, the Austrian pioneers have constructed another bridge, partly pontoon and partly .trestle. Work on the big permanent railroad bridge, which was dynamited first by the Serbs and later by the Austrians, is in progress Within a month the, structure will be rebuilt The old bridge was constructed by Austrian engineers and the plans of it were still in existence, so with a fore sight that deserves being called re- rnarkable the Austrians reconstructed every part of the bridge long before the offensive began and today the parts need merely to be placed where they belong.
 The correspondent had many oppor- tunities to talk to German and Aus tro-Hungarian officers and men who had been at the Serbian front. It would seem that the first shock prov ed too much for the Serbs. While occasionally a. desperate resistance is still offeredn the Serbs generally are unable today to hold a position long. They have begun to realize that their cause is lost It can be attested. on the other hand, that the Central Pow CT troops, especially the Austrians, are generous in their praise of the Serb as a soldier and patriot.
