NO PEACE WHILE ENEMY
 IS ON FRENCH soR
Decision Was Reached by Unanimous
 Vote of French Senate.

Paris, Dec. A, $50 D. m.-The unani- nous vote fthe senate affirming that France cannot conclude peace with an enemy who occupies French territory, coming at the same time as the peace of the Swiss government, has stirred anew the French press and public. The action of the senate gave further in- dication of the attitude of the allies toward President Wilson's proposal, while confidence votes in the Briahd ministry was regarded most favorably.
 The foreign affairs committee of the chamber devoted a large part of the session yesterday to an examination of President Wilson's note.
 The Pitt Journal suggests that President Wilson, in sending the note knew he would have the support of Switzerland and says:
 France honors it's neighbor, mena ced like Belgium perhaps, but France, which did not want war, knows that there are suggestions that honor and interest prevent it from hearing"
 The Petit Parisien says that the Swiss note confirms one of the declar- ations of President Wilson. referring to discussions engaged in five weeks ago between Berne and Washington | It adds ''the note deserves the same courteous examination and reserve 1 by the Swiss of the interned and ex- 1 patriated people but has a right to re- l call that as to the war the entente al lies cannot be placed on the same 1 footing as the central powers"

PRESENT WILSON'S NOTE
 TOPIC IN PARIS PAPERS Stress Laid on It's Appearance Coin- cident With Germany's Offer.

Paris, Saturday. Dec. 23. 3.95 D. m- President Wilson's note is still the principal topic in the press, stress be- ing laid in the comment on its coin cidence with the period of deliberation by the allies on Germany's offer to negotiate. Most of the editorial writ CTS insist also upon the precedent es- tablished by Secretary of State Seward of President Lincoln's cabinet, in re- tecting the intervention of Napoleon III. during the American Civil war The Journal Des Debats publishes in its entirety Secretary Stewards des- patch to the, French foreign minister on February 6. 1863. in reflection of the French proffer of mediation be- tween the north and the south.
 "The eminent jurist," says La Li- berte, "is ignorant of nothing in pre- cedents. President Wilson certainly has not forgotten President Lincoln s reply to the overtures by France to terminate the war of secession. Pres ident Wilson cannot expect any other reply from France" Referring to the ambiguity of the note. the newspaper says:
 But MT. Wilson probably did not intend to compare the executioners with the victims. The very day the note was delivered in Paris Ambassa = dor Sharp returned from Rheims where fifty big shells fired the even ing before into the unfortunate city recalled the neighborhood of the slay- CTS of civilians and the demolishers of cathedrals, while at the same time despatches informed us that the de- portations and shootings of Belgians continue in spite of the protestations of Cardinal Mercier. a great prelate who might well find an echo among great humanitarians such as Presi- dent Wilson.
 What is most striking in the note, ? adds La LAeerte, -'is the coincidence of it's publication with the delivery ot the German note. We have no inten- ton to suspect his word when he de- clares he did not in any way seek to support the German offer, but il is so necessary to put them into close comparison that it will be difficult tc divert pre-occupation upon this point"

 Rarely before at the Christmas sea- = son have the city's poor been provided for so abundantly through the medium not only of the usual charitable or ganiZations, but through scores of in- dividualS and community committees In some districts patrolmen took the names of the neediest families and at each of these houses a bagful of pro- visions was left through the Seneros- ity of aN citizen whose identity is known only to high officials of the police de- parement. For some of the needieSt cases coal in half ton lots was left yes terday by order of the same unnamed benefactor.
 The idea of the community Christ mas was followed on a larger scale than ever before in suburban towns and cities

Its Contents Has Aroused Unusual h.
 terest There.

Tokio, Japan, Saturday, Dec. B. 9.15 D. m.-President Wilson's note to the belligerent powers has been delivered to the Japanese government.
 The note has aroused extraordinary interest. The general view of it taken by the press is, that while it is not connected with the German peace pro- posal, it is not unreasonable to sup pose the two may eventually be joined and lead to peace negotiations. The prediction is voiced that Japan and her allies will reply to President Will son in the spirit of his idea. but it is commented that they entered the war "in3 the robe of peace," and that the efforts to overthrow German milit9r- isrn'' are based upon a desire to solid ify permanent world peace."s
