THE citizens OF our city have pass
ed through another very prosperous
year, and I think the city itself has
prospered with them Our river front
problem, which We have been en-
deavoring so long TO solve, has as
sumed such definite shape that think
We may have reason 10 hope that the
prize is at our very door. A COM
mission OF capable men now have
this matter we'll in hand and are
working hard 10 bring good results,
and I believe the citizens OF Whining
ton stand ready 20 cooperate with
them in fheir exceedingly difficult
task I would urge particularly upon
Council to stand back OF them in
their work because without the aid
and cooperation OF Council their
hands Will not be free.

must be admitted that its passage

With the American Army in
France, Nov. 30.-The uniform OF
the American soldier is undergoing
a further change. 1t is small one
made necessary by conditions. A
large number Of troops have turned
in their long overcoats to receive in
exchange coats OF the same material
but much shorter in length. The
new ones strike the men above the
knees, while the old ones, issued in
the United States, usually hit them
at the ankles. Because of the per-
petual mud 1t was found that the
long coats soon became calzed and
heavy. They topped about the legs
OF the soldiers, hindering the free
movement of the wearers. Many Of
the troops who have not received
the new coats have shortened the
old ones,
