Districts Oversubscription Now
Is 10000.

ut is no longer a question as to
whether or not Kansas will exceed
her quota, but only a question of how
much she will go over
THE glowing reports which have
come from different sections are so
widespread ove- the state that they
indicate the intensive work covers the
entire state. Even in the far western
counties of Kansas quotas are being
exceeded"
This is the statement and congratu-
lation in letter of instructions sent
out to the various county and district
campaign managers at the close of
the Red Cross Christmas membership
drive Monday night by w. T. Bland,
chairman of the drive in the five states
of the southwest division of the Red
Cross organization. The letter was
primarily an urge to the different To-
cal campaign managers to complete
their reports at the earliest possible
date SO that the Red Cross authorities
can be furnished with a complete and
authentic list of the number of new
memberships received as a direct re-
SUIT OF TINS Christmas drive.
| Five Counties Over.
| Five of the nine counties listed in
the table oversubscribed their quota
| ana the rest were pressing their alIot-
ments hard. None OF the reports from
the nine counties are complete as vet.
and only approximate figures could
| De obtained in most cases
| AS things shape up at present, il
looks as tho Pottawatomie county will
lead the nation in counties of equal
| population, and will probably top all
| counties regardless Of size in propor-
ton of memberships per capita OF
population. According to the reports
! already in. Pottawatomie county is 39O

WAIT FOR TERMS
Allies Anxious To Hear Kaiser's
New Peace Proposal.
Expect He Will Make General
Offer to All.

London, Dec. 25.-Speculations as
to the form the kaiser's much-herald-
ed peace proposals will take occupied
London today, as announcements from
the fighting front were suspended.
Following the usual custom no OFF,
ciaI statements were to be issued for
a period of "a hours. Reports from
various sources, however. brought
new emphasis TO the new peace move
expected from Germany. Dutch dis
patches declared the central powers
had decided to make a joint reply to
the Russian proposals. With opposi-
ton developing rapidly among the
German Socialists to the peace ne
gotiations with Russia, it is felt here
that the German ruling powers face
an extremely difficult task in dealing
with the Bolsheviki.
The reply to the Russian proposals
may constitute the new German gem
eral peace feeler, it is believed here.
The Kaiscr's Speech.
The kaiser'si speech to the second
army, circulated Monday, was obvious
ly for home consumption. The ankle
ty for peace at the present time, being
due to the desire to bring about a
cessation of hostilities before Ameri-
can troops can get into action, the
kaiser could not hope for his threats
having any effect outside Germany
There has been no activity reported
from the western front for over a
week. The big blow of the much ad-
vertised German offensive is expected
there and the calm now prevailing
may be due to both sides being occu-
pied with troop movements behind
the lines. The activity in the trenches
is apparently confined to watching
with only the usual desultory firing
on both sides.
No great concern is felt here as g
result of the resumption of the Ger
man offensive on the Italian front
French and British reinforcement.
are now massing in Italy, and with
the aid of these troops and guns. il
is believed the Teutonic hordes car
be held safely in check. In reporting
the reverse on the Asiago front, wher
part of the Italian defenses were
broken. General Diaz added that hi.
troops were delivering counter at
! cks, thus clearly indicating that the
morale of the italian soldiers wa:
still firm.

IN The CHURCHES
Christmas Services Same as
Usual in Topeka.
Many Had Trees for Little Tots
Monday Night.

On the night before Christmas, in
stead of ploughing their way thru
paths choked with snow on their yay
to the various church celebrations. the
people Of Topeka wended their sew
eral courses over walks cIeanly swept
and clear under a starlit sky and thru
a world shining with the rudy CLEANS
OF the RED Cross service lanterns.
Not one fire resulted from the use
of candles for illumination OF tha
symbols. and in truth not MANY can
dies were used excep. in widely scat
tered cases where every precaution
was taken to prevent the firing of win
doN. draperies.
Many Had Trees.
At nearly every church in the city
some form of celebration was con-
Quoted last night, nearly all of the
celebrations featuring a candy and
present laden Christmas tree for the
little ones, who on their first war-tfnoe
Christmas were allowed to suffer no
dearth of the traditional cheer OF the
Christmas season. It was many 4

A majority of the churches sunnIa-

CHRISTMAS.

The day that for centuries has been
the one around which has clustered
the most gladstone thoughts and ac-
tivities of the entire year is with US
once again. Men and women. boys
and girls. wish one another Merry
Christmas'- and the churches resound
with the anthem. of Peace on Earth;
Good Will to Men" Bat the thought
must come to most of us that this
Christmas is anything but merry
Christmas: that there is no peace on
earth and that good will to men is
not greatly in evidence.
Most of us will find it difficult to
arouse within ourselves a complete
feeling of brotherly love and forgive
ness such as should exalt and solemn
ize this anniversary of the birth of
the Holy Child, when We remember
those who are responsible for the
misery and woe. the suffering and
horror, now upon the people of the
old world when we remember that
millions of our young manhood,
flushed with the enthusiasm of youth,
are called upon to shed their blood or
give their lives in defense OF the rights
of humanity because of the ambitions
of a few persons in high places.
$50 it is hard to reconcile our minds
to Christmas this year. We feel as
tho the world war puts a damper on
joyous celebrations. But it is good
for US to remember that the war is
only temporary while Christmas is for
- -
fought and the last tear has been shed
the Christmas spirit will illuminate
the universe. So let US have our
Christmas, and make our friends and
our children happy as far as we can.
We can still say, Peace on earth,
good will to men," and hold the prayer
for it and the belief in it in our con-
seriousness.

u. S. TROOPS IN PARIS
City Sold Out of Turkey to Feed Our
Boys There.

Paris, Dec. 25.-For its fourth war
Christmas Paris has taken on de-
cided American color In addition to
the 500 American soldiers regularly
station in and around the city there
are in Paris 1000 or more on leave
from camps, including number who
have seen service in the trenches.
The other regiments behind the
British front and who were recently
engaged with the Germans are rep
resented and there are also several
hundred sailors from an American pa
troll fleet off the French coast.
The poultry situation in the last few
days was dominated by the demand
for turkey, the greatest in the history
of Paris. To supply the soldiers and
sailors from the United States, the
markets were exhausted before noon
yesterday.
All the American fighting men will
be given a Christmas dinner as near
as possible to the real American feast
