Christmas Presents Vie With Shells to See
 Which Will Be First In Reaching Boys at From

mail for the English. Canadian and Austrian troops is fraught with great difficulties. for powder and shell as- set their precedence and the holiday will see no lessening of their purpose on the front One reason for this is that the mail is being handled and distributed by ''Tommies" who former ly were postal employees.
 The Canadians received the bulk of their mail last week, most of the sol diers obeying with childish impatience instructions not to open the parcels until Christmas. The mail for the Austrian troops necessarily was posted six or seven weeks ago and naturally there were many casualties in that period so that the authorities are con fronted with number of parcels which never will reach their intended own CTS.
Bisbee daily review., 1916-12-23

A feature of the Christmas mails is that the outgoing post is almost as heavy as the incoming. with strange cross current of money orders going home and coming out. Some idea of the army postal problems may be gained from the fact that normally the British army sends HOO thousand letters and postcards and 11.0O0 par cels daily. This number is being doubled and trebled during the Christ. mas rush. Another interesting fact is that the soldier receives an average of four letters week and writes one.
 The packages being sent from the front contain all manner of souvenirs from the front and battle fields. The favorite Christmas that the Tom mics" are sending home is one of which loving notices are woven with vari-colored silk threads.

Cold Christmas In
 Bisbee Is Expected By Weather Prophet
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22. - Colder weather will overspread the west to- morrow in the wake of the severe storm which swept up the Atlantic coast today accompanied by rains and strong westerly winds. reaching a velocity of S4 miles an hour at New York and 76 miles an hour al Norfolk. The lower Lake and Ohio valley re- gions had steady snows. Warnings to shippers are displayed along the coast from Cape Hatteras north.
 Warmer weather now over the mid dle west will move eastward Sunday. says the weather bureau, but storm appearing now in the north Pacific and likely to swing across the country makes Christmas weather probable.

Wilson seems to see in Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg's speech, a declara- ton of respect of rights of small countries and says:

Peary's navigator on his dash to the North Pole, have progressed to q point where it is possible that the expedition, which Is to be similar to another led by Captain Roald Amund- sen, discoyerer of the South Pole. may get away next summer.
 Rear Admiral Peary understands that sufficient money has been sub scribed privately to carry through the expedition. which probably will cost about s2O0,0O0.

Deal Through U. S.

The suggestion from London that the manner of replying to the Presi- dents note will differ from the form of replies to proposals of the German allies correspond with official expec- tations. It is thought here that the entente allies might not make an an- swer to the proposals of the central powers but would deal with the whole peace subject in their response to the United States.
 Germany Friendly
 The German view here is that what ever the reply of the entente the re- lations between Germany and the United States will have been immeas- urably improved. practically to the point of assuring careful steps by the Berlin government to avoid any such conditions as led up to crisis which threatened a break in diplomatic re lations That view is that the advan- tage of comity with the greatest of neutrals was so forcibly impressed upon the people of the central empires that il will not again be exaggerated.
 Allies Suspicious
 Entente diplomats. while they ap- parently had decided to accept the Presidents attitude in good faith, had not wholly disposed of their fear that it might rebound to the advantage of their enemies.
 Lansing Forgiven
 It was reiterated today in all off cial quarters that there was perfect understanding between Secretary Ian sing and the President and whatever might have appeared as discord in in- depreciation of the note to the bellig- erents had been disposed of by sec retary's second statement and the steps to inform the foreign govern ments of the facts.
 The notes to the belligerents. Sec retary Lansing's explanatory state ments. and the German submarine activities furnished the chief subjects of discussion at today's cabinet meet ing. Later it was said that the dis cussion was directed toward no par ticular end but to bring out the views of the cabinet officers.
 sion the cabinet took the view that the force of the note to the belligerents had not been materially affected by Secretary Lansing's statements.
 Press comment in both England and Germany was read with the deepest interest by members of the cabinet. Spokesmen for the administration thought the unfavorable impression made at first in England would be changed when the note was examined carefully.
 Praise for Wilson.

Teiper Crumples as Verdict of Jury Sounds His Fate
 at Buffalo.
(By Review Leased Wire)

BUFFALO. N. Y., Dec. 22.-Guilty of murder in the second degree was the verdict returned by jury late today against John Edward. Teiper, charged with having killed his mother last January. The jury deliberated 24 hours.
 The verdict broke the iron nerve of the young defendant who throughout the long trial had given no sign of emotion. As the foreman of the jury announced the verdict. Teipers strong frame seemed to crumble and his jaws sagged and he would have fallen to the floor had he not been caught by a deputy. "Oh. my God" he shrieked as he struggled to rise, this is not fair, this is not human"
 The sentence prescribed for second degree murder is minimum of 20 years imprisonment.
