WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The pro-
gram for the White House winter so
cial season has been announced and,
~ was generally expected, 1t omits
the colorfnl diplomatic reception. be-
cause Of the war, and also the time
honored ew Years reception for the
public, in accordance with the custom
President Wilson set when coming in
to ONCE.
In place Of the diplomatic recep-
tion there win be two diplomatic din
ners. The Entente diplomats and all
1ret and the Teutonic diplomats and
all neutrals Will be guests at the sec
ond.
The embarrassments which would
be caused BY inviting the Represents
ttves OF the warning powers to rub
elbows ct the sane reception may be
more imaginary than actual, but they
are regarded by the social managers

Hes and the ambassador from one OF
the principal Teutonic powers always
exchange courteous greetings when
they pass on the street. However. the
program has been arranged to keep
the warning diplomats apart.
The social events all come on
Tuesdays instead Of Thursdays, a.
formerly; the season begins earlier
and ends in February instead Of
March, probably due to the fact that
the White House wants it over by
Inauguration time.

from the war department. will be moved
to the border unit by unit, it was
learned today.
= The cavalry and artillery will be sent
first, then the infantry and hospital
units. according to officers.
Officers today refused to discuss pub
lished assertions that the entire Iowa
brigade would be held up pending the
recruiting of sufficient cavalrymen to
bring the squadron up to minimum
peace strength.
However General Allen, commanding.
announced that he had sent appeals to
several cities in the state asking that
the utmost efforts be made to obtain
enlistment In the cavalry units. There
have been few cavalry enlistments the
past few days.
OFFICERS in charge Of traffic arrange
ments expressed the opinion today that
1t may be week or more before the
order comes to move.
The mobilization Of guardsmen of
other states and their transfer to the
border depleted the supply Of tourist
sleepers so that to transfer the men at
once would mean long. tiresome rides
in day coaches
General Allen said today he did not
wish to force this hardship upon his
men unless there was urgent need and
ne has asked that order to move be de-
layed until suitable cars be available
to take care of the troops.
July 20 probably will be pay day at
Camp Dodge AT that time approxi-
mately s15O,ooo will be sent here to
pay enlisted men and officers for the
