HOOVER PLAYS SANTA
 CLAUS FOR WILSON
Takes Gifts to Fifty Little Friends of President in
 Virginia.

Washington, Dec. 24.-I. H. Hoover, chief usher at the White House, who is playing Santa Clause there this year in the absence of President Wilson on his honeymoon trip at Hot Springs, Va., was a busy man today.
 Early today in the White House car loaded with presents Hoover left for the Virginia side of the Potomac River to remember fifty little friends of the President. They live along the Washington road between the river and the Virginia Club, where he often plays golf.
 When MT. Wilson first assumed of- flee the children began waving greet ings to him from the roadside. and soon they and the chief executive be- came quite chummy. So just before leaving for Virginia springs the presi- dent admonished MT. Hoover not to forget them at Christmas time.
 This was just the beginning of Hoover's work today though. Up in the library of the executive mansion, on the second floor, he found a large Christmas tree on which ten little stockings were to be hung tonight. It had to be trimmed for all of the Nc Adoo children, Sally and Mona, and the Presidents grandchild, Ellen Me- Adoo, seven months old; Francis Bowes Sayre, one year old grandson of the President and Josephine Co., thran, a grandniece of twelve years, who are to spend Christmas at the White House.

End of Novel Feat.

Henry Ford's departure from Eu- rope apparently marks the termina- t1on, in its original form, of the most novel of the many movements which have been undertaken to bring about the ending of the war.
 MT. Ford's announcement that the Women's International Peace asso- citation henceforth will conduct the expedition would seem to indicate that so far as he personally is concerned, he will reiinquish the self-imposed task which he expressed in the phrase Out of the trenches by Christmas" It has not been made clear, however, whether MT. Ford vii continue to give financial support to the enterprise.
 Mime. Rosika Schwimmer
 The Women's International Peace association has been in existence for some time. It held a congress at The Hague last spring and appointed del- egations to visit the capitals of vari- ous European and American nations. One of the most prominent women at the congress was Mime. Rosika Schwimmer, president of the Hungar- ian Woman Suffrage association and a member of the Ford peace party. After the conference at The Hague, Mime. Schwimmer came to the United States to continue her work for peace. She went to Detroit to see MT. Ford and it was reported it was she who suggested to him the idea of the peace expedition.
 Before the peace ship oscar IT. reached the other side there were re- ports of dissension among the peace delegates. When MT. Ford reached Christiania he kept in the background it being said he was i'll. It was not until last night, however, that the un- confirmed report that he had quit the party reached this country. Although full details have not been received it would appear that he made his de- parture secretly, and that most of the peace delegates, at the time they left Christiania for Stockh olm, were ig- norant of the fact that he was not to go on with them. One Christiania de- spatch said MT. Ford had boarded a train from Christiania for Bergen yes terday at about the time his former associates were leaving for Stockholm. It was said MT. Ford's sudden depart ture was due to the fact that his phy- sician had ordered him to rest.

VENIZELOS CLAIMS
 TRIUMPH IN GREECE
Former Premier Says Recent Elcc- tiOns Were . Brilliant Victory for
 His Policy and Ideas.

Paris, Dec. 24, 5:5O m-The
 Athens correspondent of the Figaro sends an interview secured from M Venizelos, former Greek premier con- cern1ng the recent parliamentary cleo tions in Greece in which the adher- entS or M. GounariS, minister of the interior, were successful and in which the Venlzelos party abstained in most cases rom going to the polls. The correspondent quotes M. Venizelos as 1olloWs: The elections were a bril- llant triumph of my policy and ideas. A great majority of the voters ab- stained from voting. I am entitled to say that the verdict was still more categorical than that of last May. It in vain that my opponents attempt to explain the abstentions by the mobii- ization. It must not be forgotten that we had hundred thousand men with the colors last May and that the army voted in the present elections at sev- eral centers and that the part of the army which could not vote contained a large number of my party. In cer- tain polling stations only three votes were recorded
 The correspondent says that he was also received by M. Gounaris and the other ministers, who maintained that the elections were conducted in free and open manner and that the number of abstentions was normal.
 The Athens correspondent of the Havas Agency has the following to say concerning the political situa- tion in Greece: When parliament reassembles states of siege probably will be voted, in order to stop the fl0n off oolzc ment's policy. M. Gounaris insists that the present cabinet remain but unless the situation changes through the kings intervention are construc- tion of the cabinet probably will oc- cur.''

LACK OF ENTERPRISE
 BY "NUTMEG" STATE
Few Connecticut Manufacturers Ex- hibited at San Francisco Exposition,
 New Britain Native Says.

Edward Holleran of Nome, Alaska, former resident is back in this city renewing acquaintances of long ago, and his numerous friends extended to him today their heartiest greeting for happy holiday season. It was about twenty years ago that MT. Holleran, then youth, was magneted by the tales of the wonders of the frozen north so he set out to make ''his pile" within the frigid atmosphere of the north country. Trials and trbu- lations were encountered by the youthful fortune hunter, but being possessed of the sturdiness and thrift of a native of New England, Holleron faced the difficulties without a quiver and has prospered.
 Today he comes back to his native city expressing wonderment at it's progress. MT. Holleran left his home in Nome, October 1, and visited the Exposition in San Franicsco. In a talk with a Herald man he expressed surprise at the display by the few state manufacturers displaying wares at the "R' osition. In his trips he said he Jailed to find much evidence of New Britain product on hand.
 MT. Holleran was also agreeabjy surprised at prosperous conditions that he found in every state that he visited since leaving his home in the Far North. Conditions in the south and southwest, according to MT. Hol- leran, are the best that he has ever known of and with pride he speaks of the prosperity existing locally.
 A surprise for MT. Holleran was the lack of snow in this city. He was in Boston a week and secured a copy of the Herald in which he read of the recent blizzard and he expected to find the city submerged under several feet of snow on his arrival here. MT. Holleran will spend the Christmas holidays with his brother, Matthew w. Holleran.

TO RESCUE AMERICANS
 HELD BY VILLA FORCE
Generals Obregon and Ire vino Considering Plan
 to Liberate Prisoners.

Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 24.-Territory recently surrendered to the defacto Mexican government by the followers of Gen. Villa is today in nominal charge of Silvestre Terrazas, former secretary of state for Chihuahua under Colonel Flayiano Paliza, as com- nander at Juarez when Paliza fled across the border after demon stration by soldiers last night when they failed to receive their wages in silver and were offered currency of the de facto government instead.
 Terranzas is the third former Villa leader to assume charge at Juarez within twenty-four hours. Juarez was quiet today.
 George C., Carothers, representing the American state department made representations to General Obregon concerning four American employees of the Hearst Ranch near Madeira, who are said to be prisoners of the Villa force there. He is understood to have urged that a military force be sent from Chihuahua City to effect their release.
 Later it was announced at the Car ranza consulate that some plan to rescue the Americans was being con- sidered by Generals Obragon and Trevino.
 The most pressing problem of the Carranza defacto government of Mexico is the esta blishment of paper currency on a basis that will insure it's acceptance by former Villa soldiers.
 Last nights disorder in Juarez was the result of the discovery that there was no silver in sight. Preparations, however, had been made for an out break, and it was speedily put down after show of arms in the street.
 The presence of agents of a party working in opposition to the def Acto government was indicated when un- official notice was given that two Ap1- ericans were meddling in Mexico pol itics in JuareZ. They were ordered to remain on the American side.
 Opponents of the government point to the selection of Gen. Jose Isabel Robles as executive, without designa- tion, in the reconstruction of the Cor mer Villa territory of Chihuahua as a possible cause for disagreement be- tween Carranza and Obregon.
 The defacto government today is conducting Juarez affairs from El Paso, the former Villa generals being left to handle the Juarez situation un- til further orders.
