SomeS After Christmas Thoughts.

The merchants of Paris have es-
pecial reason. for thankfulness that
the good Christmas time brought
them much material prosperity.
Their stores were crowded even in
the most Indictment weather, and on
the two shopping days of Saturday
and Monday, and even on Christmas
day, their clerks had all they could
do to accommodate the stream of
customers who came and went like
the ebb and flow of a tide. Inquiry
of a number of merchants as to how
they Jared with their Christmas
trade elected responses that were
CHEEKY and enthusiastic, mostly to
the effect that they had had the best
trade for several years. One mer-
chant who deals in a varied assert
ment of goods, stated that he was in
a panic late Monday afternoon for
fear his stock would be sold out, and
that he had very little left. Others
stated that their clerks were kept so
busy that it was really marvellous the
way they got through with the
crowds Of shoppers.

amused at a conversation between
two of Paris prominent young wo-

SAYS OUR PRISONERS
ARE FED TOO NICELY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover believes the gov
eminent is spending entirely too umch
money ON food for German prisoners
informed in America. He recommend
ed some time ago to the war depart
ment, which has charge of most of
the internment camps, that the same
food be given to alien enemies in this
country under the guard as that pro-
vided by Germany for her was prison
ers. The war department has not
taken any action on this recommends
ton
Many of the women at AshvilIa,
N. c., refused to sign food pledges,
owing to the unrestrained appetites of
the German prisoners informed at Hot
Springs, about twenty miles distant.
These women, it is understood, have
refused to agree to conserve food,
when it is being lavished upon the
Germans in such manner as to cause
much harsh criticism

One non-commissioned officer with

but the men refused The officers
threatened the soldiers, who replied
by killing all four of the officers and
marching over to the British lines to
surrender.
When this particular battalion was
moved up against the British, the
men had to be bullied into fighting
by being sent into action in front Of

object of getting near enough to Us

out what had happened, they sent

alert and charged at once, capturing

proclamation OF war zones In the
North sea, and continues:

It Is further pointed out that even
had Germany qualified the new meas

contrary to international law, which
only permits the confiscation and not
