Capital Welcomes New Year
With Great Din of Revelry
Merrymakers Have Boserous Time in Cafes, Hotels and
Streets, While Devout Folk Lift Souls in Prayer and
Song in Quietness Of Churches

The revelry of jocund merrymakers
mingled last midnight with the songs
of praise of church attendants in pro-
claiming the birth of a new year-a
year spotless and full of hopes and
bright prospects.
The jangling of bells, footing of
horns, shrieking of whistles. clatter
of rattles, jarring of tin pans. and
boisterous shouts of downtown cele-
brants went up in a mighty din from
the city. while in scores of churches of
all denominations devout folk on
bended knees lifted their souls in
prayer as the organ notes floated fit
fully over the assemblies.
Downtown streets Crowded.
In the churches hymns of praise
were sung, while in the cafes and ho-
tells the big strlnged orchestras and
brass bands blared forth the latest rag
music.
The streets of the downtown section
were crowded with jocund folk. Every
one had noisemaking instrument OF
some description, and the tumult OF
sound that arose was deafen!ng. con-
tinuous stream of automobiles passed
along Pennsylvania avenue, with the horns
and sirens shrieking. the occupants blow
ing horns and jangling belts, and the
engines repeatedly and purposely missing
fire.
Then, as the hands of the big clocks
pointed to midnight. the whistles of the
factories on the outskirts OF the city
set up their weird shrieks. drowning al

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Dec 5i.-There is anxiety
for the Greek liner Thessaloniki, which
has been more than thirty days en- route
TO this country from Gibraltar.
Agents OF the line declare they have
been unable to obtain direct wireless
communication with the steamer. despite
the fact that wireless messages have
been received by other vessels. No
coast station heard from her today and
the coast guard cutter Seneca, which
has been searching for her since Thurs
day, reported late today that she had
searched within seventy miles OF the po-
sitiou given by the ThessaIouiki but had
been unable to find her.
Later a message was received from the
Thessaloniki reading:
"<Il well. Waiting nearest ship, s. S.

loEiki was doing his utmost to make port

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London. Jan. 1.-The cabinets third and
fourth meetings of this week, called to
discuss the situation arising from the
fault OF Lord Derby's enlistment cam
paign, were held yesterday. The failure
OF certain members to attend gave rise
to speculation as to their probable resig-
nations.
The Daily News and Leader of this
morning says that Sir John Simon. sec.
retary of state for home affairs, has
actually presented his resignation TO Pre-
mer Asqulth. His withdrawal from the
cabinet has been predicted because OF
his opposition to the premier's conscrip-
ton policy.
The fear was expressed on Thursday
that Walter Runclman, president of the
board of trade, who had failed to attend
sign.
There were predictions in certain
quarters. too, that Lord Buckmaster,
the lord high chancellor; Sir Edward
Grey, the foreign secretary, and Regi-
maid Mckenna, chancellor of the ex-
chequer. might withdraw from the
government. but the reported resigna-
tion of Sir John Simon has not come
as a surprise. as it was stated Thurs
day that absence from the cabinet
meeting would be taken as indicating e
an intention to leave the cabinet

The cafes and hotels were where mer-
with fantastic caps on their heads, sat
at sumptuous supper tables and drained
their wine glasses in honor OF the New
Year, orchestras blared out their catchy
selections. to the strains of which young
folk and old folk glided over the floor
in the latest terpsichorean steps. There
were bright lights. and dainty dishes. and
enchanting music, and rapturous decora-
tions, and pretty souvenirs. and in many
places vaudeville stunts.
The main celebration at the New VIII
lard was on the tenth floor. More than
$50 persons were seated in the big ball
room, which was beautifully decorated
with American flags, palms, ferns, and
cut flowers. At one end of the hall was
stage, on which twenty-five members
of st. Johns Choir were grouped, sing
ing New Year carols at midnight.
At midnight the lights went out and a
bugler sounded taps. From a balcony
over the Meyer Davis Orchestra big
ships bell was rung. Then. at each end
of the hall, flashed into flame immense
electric signs reading, Happy New
Year" Dancers giided around among
the tables, while other merrymakers ate.
The small ballroom was the scene Of
most of the dancing. This hall also con-
tanned some dining tables All of the
diners wore fancy paper caps Of unique
designs. The souvenirs for ladies were
