NO TRUCE IN SIGHT
FOR HOLIDAY SEASON
Russians, Whose Christmas
Is Some Days Off, Now
the Most Active Of the AL
lies and Heavy Fighting
in Dobrudja Results.

London, Dec. 23.-On Monday Kaiser
Wilhelm's troops will be caroling about
peace on earth and good will to men"
and throwing trench bombs between
verses; British Tommies will take a
bite of plum pudding and then exercise
their pitching arms with hand gre
nadcs; French poilus will sip their
Christmas champagne between feeding
the rs steel food for German consump-
ton.
Monday will be Christmas In the
trenches for every one of the fighting
soldiers except the Russians-and by
their calendar it will only be Dec. 81.
The Russian Christmas won't come I'M
til January Z, according to the reck-
oning of other nations.
FIGHTING IN DOBRUDJA.
Perhaps 1t was this that was reflect
ed in the worlds battle news today.
when it appeared the fiercest of all
fighting was taking place far on the
eastern front in Dobrudja.
Far from being animated from any
holiday spirit, however. the Germans
were thrusting great masses of men
forward-ma sses that so far outnum-
bered the Russians that the latter
we're compelled to give ground, al
though fighting savagely. Petrograd
admitted the retirement but counter
balanced with further news indicating
that the German rush northward in
Rumania has been stopped. and in
some places the German line forced
back.
The kind of calm" that means I'M
ceasins hurting of hand grenades and
clock like bombardment by artillery
was in effect apparently along the
whole French British front in the west.
None of the official statements from
belligerent capitols indicated any in
fantry assaults
In Macedonia heavy snow and win
ter's cold has apparently CONCEALED ac-
tive fighting, except that by artillery.
The same frozen in report might be
made of the Italian Austrian battle
front where, naturally because of the
altitude, the cold was greatest of that
on all fronts.
PRESSING THE TURKS.
Contrarywise, on the arid plains of
Egypt and Palestine, British troops
held a front against the Turks. FL
Arish, on the Mediterranean side. was
in British hands again, after two
years occupation by the enemy, and it
was believed the British occupying
force would press still further forward
against the Turks.
Despite the constant bomb throw
ing and intermittent infantry clashes
on the western 'front.' the British Tom
mics will have their Christmas. Long
lines of motors have been carrying
Christmas packages to the men in the
trenches for days. Every soldier from
the colonies. as we'll as from England
proper, received some sort of gift or
remembrance-if not from home. then
from one of the numerous societies or
ganized for this purpose.

CORRUPT PRACTICES
ACT rs UPHELD

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 23.-The federal
corrupt practices act was upheld today
in an opinion rendered by Judge w. II.
s. Thompson, which directed that the
government proceed with its cases
against ~ Pennsylvania brewing con-
Germs, charged with Illegally spending
money to corrupt elections.
The breweries, through their attoc-
neys, asked that the proce -dings be
quashed on the ground that the cor
rupt practices act limited freedom Of
speech and action which the constitu-
ton guaranteed their heads as indi-
yidua1s.

MANY CHILDREN
MADE HAPPY At
CHRISTMAS Tree
Donations by People Of
Boise Made Possible Gifts
to Little Ones-None Is
Turned Away.

More than 500 children were given
presents last night in the capitol build
ing from the big Christmas tree ar
ranged by the Associated Charities,
and it is estimated that there were full
~ as many grown-ups as children, who
attended the first of the Yuletde fes-
tivities in Boise.
he big Christmas tree, glittering
with lights end decorations, with a grey
bearded Santa Claus close by, was u
wonderful sight for the little ones, and
their eager faces plainly bespoke their
feeling of a Christmas remembrance.
Il told you he was real and would
bring me dolly enc little girl in line
was heard to say and little later she
was observed on the step mothering
her dolly TO sleep and holding to a
big sack of candy and nuts.
The program opened with a selection
by the Salvation Army band. after
which John +. Nugent, president of the
Associated Charities, made brief
talk, in which he told the little ones
that Santa had come to Boise again
and that the good people of Boise had
arranged for his coming and mHde pos
sible the tree and presents which were
to be given out
RECEIVE THEIR GIFTS.
Lining up in two big circles about
the tree, the little ones marched for
ward to receive their gifts. The choice
of dolls, books or games was given and
it was soon evident that there was not
enough presents for all. A rush order
was sent out and within a few minutes
another load of gifts was on hand and
being distributed.
The gift counter from which the
children were presented with gifts was
attended by a committee composed of
Mrs. Leo ]. Falk. Mrs. B. f. Stout
meyer, Miss Mary Danskin, Mrs. G.
Parker, Jack Skillern, George Hueb-
ener. G. NJ. Simons. II. z. Abend, and
the candy bags were given out by Mrs.
Jack Skillern, Mrs. Crawford Moore
and Miss Agnes Davidson.
Miss Margaret Cobb and Max May
field were busy looking after many
details in connection with the festiyi-
ties. and Captain Barnes of the Sal
walton Army had the management of
the children and while no one would
have wanted her Job, the manner in
which she handled the little ones and
their ready response to her wishes was
surprise to all.
CHILDREN MADE HAPPY.
More people than ever witnessed the
gift distribution and saw the hearts of
many children made glsd with some
small presents. Children fondled
presents with glowing faces whose
Christmas would have ben barren had
not Boise responded generously and the
sight was one which caused many to
ramark that it was well worth the eff
fort. the time and the donations to see
