The communities OF u illiamsport,
Catheys Creek and Culleoka have
been thoroughly covered by the health
experts and they are now engaged in
their work at McCain's, Riverside and
Santa Fe, where they are meeting
with earnest cooperation from the
people of those communities.
In the meantime where the work
has been completed, fully rs per cent
of the homes have been equipped with
sanitary closets and as result the
per centage of sickness has been no
ticeably decreased. At Williamsport,
it is reported, there have been very
few cases of colitis among adults and
the number of infantile colitis cases
has been considerably lowered. There
has been but one case OF typhoid in
that community since the sanitation
work was compelled and that case
originated before the work began.

Church Bells and Cannon Vie in
Proclaiming 1917 on West Front
Anglo-French Guns Greet Germans in One-Nne-On
and Seven-Round Salvos-Men Expect War
to End This Year

In sending this fiery greeting TO the
Germans there was a further compli-
cation Of difference Of time, the Ger
mans observing Continental time, which
is one hour ahead Of the British and
French clocks. To avoid all doubt the
British artillery fired signal salvoes at
both IL o'clock and midnight.
Low black clouds scudded over the
battle area the last night Of the old
year and It's successor was borne on a
bowling wind.
The arrival Of 1917 was regarded on
the western front by the British and
French soldiers as a beginning OF the
end Of the great world war. There may
be varying views and theories as to
how the end is TO be brought about, but
there is no question that throughout
the British army there is a conviction
that the next twelve months will bring
a victorious peace TO the Allies.
Opinion among the British and French
fighters as 70 how the war will end 10
divided into two schools. The one be-
lieves that Germany will be willing 70
grant extreme concessions and the 9TH
or that only military pressure Will
bring them the fruits of victory. Both
schools are, however, agreed that this
is the decisive year.

AMERICAN POSITION
Deny That Message Asked
Other NeutralS to Aid, or
Aimed at Allies
rRv The Associated Press 2

faae'AeNN'
Washington, Jan. 1.--While awaiting
the reply Of the Entente Allies to the
Presidents note the State Department
is keeping In touch with the Official
sentiment both among the Entente Al
lies and the Central Powers.
As soon as the reply OF the Entente
is received, President Wilson IS eX-
pected to address another communi-
cation to both sides, making clear MS
position, and probably clearing up some
misconceptions which he feels have de-
veoped II may be stated that he Will
not seek to force peace on either SIDE
but will continue TO insist that the
rights Of the United States be thor
oughly respected.
In connection with the admittedly
serious concern with which the Admin
istration looks upon the submarine
question, much attention was paid by
officials 70 press dispatches from Berlin
stating that a semi-official news agency
there had given out the information
that the reply of the Entente Allies was
generally looked upon as fiat re-
fusal' Of the peace proposals Of Ger
many and her allies, adding that this
Ia especially regretted for the sake OF
the neutral countries suffering from
the consequences Of the war"
IL was stated emphatically and au-
thoritatively to-day that in ubmlttlng
10 neutrals copies Of it's note to being
erents the United States had no IN
tention of urging neutrals to act OF
TO set on foot a movement FOR an en-
tente of neutral nations. In explans-
ton Of this point il was stated that
the primary purpose Of the President 8
note to the belligerents was to clear
the atmosphere on the big questions
relating to the war, and that IN TINS
conpAction the American government
thought it would be helpful If the opln-
ion of neutrals as well as the belllg'
erents were explained.
II was reiterated that President Will
son and Secretary Lansing did not LOOK
upon the American note 70 the bel
ligerents primarily as peace note, al
though it was hoped that 1t might AID
in fastening the end Of the war One
reason for interest in the attitude. OF
other neutrals is the realization that
while the United States will act alone
if it finds it necessary later to take any
drastic action in defence Of its rights,
other nautrals also have suffered seri-
ously. The President believes, too
that after the present war all nations
should combine in some way 70 mini
mic the chances Of another such con
hict.
Administration officials are admit
tedly concerned over efforts 70 make
tho action Of this government appear
as directed against the Entente Allies
and in favor of the Central Powers
They do not think it necessary, how
ever. to make any further explanation
believing that ultimately both sides
will come to realize the true purpose.

With the British Armies IN France,
via London, Jan. 1.-The grim booming
Of guns fired in salvoes as the New
Year came into being at midnight was
swept far beyond the battle lines until
it mingled with the church bells sum
moning the people to prayer in the war
bound villages Of France.
On most sectors Of the British front
the New Year made its bow with little
ceremony. So many flares and rockets
are sent up from the trenches on these
long dark winter nights that it was
impossible TO say how many Of these
last night were In honor Of 1917. There
is one sector, however, where the Brit
ISL artillery followed the practice
adopted last year of welcoming Janu-
airy ! with salvoes against their enemy
from guns Of all calibres. Along this
front everything from machine guns 20

Year of Privation Ahead
i'm Germany, Berlin Admits

Berlin, Jan. (by wireless to Say
ville).-Tbe new year, as far as internal
conditions are concerned, will be a
year OF privations. The increased har-
vest of grains is offest by a disappoint-
ing potato crop, so that, despite the
food supplies captured in Rumania, no
prospect Of an increase in the total ra-
tion can be held out for the present,
though perhaps later it may be found
pos sible to provide an extra allowance
Of meat.
Dietary experts declare, however, that
the present ration is entirely adequate
to support life and maintain working
vigor. except in the case of those occu-
pied in heavy work, for whom special
provision is now being made under the
appeal of Field Marshal Won linden
burg, chief Of the General STAFF, TO the
rural population for contributions.

increasingly unpleasant, the military
efficiency Of Germany will not be dimin-
