PLANNED AT FRONT

A canvass Of the Tommies by their
commanding officers to find out just
what sort Of eats they wanted for
this Christmas spread. has developed
some freakish appetites.
One captain asked his men whether
they wanted turkey or pork and beans
the latter piping hot, with strips Of
bacon Drowned on the top. The pork
and beans won hands down.
NO FRATERNiZiNo.
There will be no fraternizing on the
British front. That much is certain.
Christmas day in the trenches will
be just like any other war day-de-
pendent upon developments.
Today all the front was decorated in
a mantle Of snow a foot deep. There
has seldom been a more quiet land :
scape in the war zone than the one

STA.
1t was authoritatively stated today
that a decree would be issued Thurs
day allowing members OF the imperial
family including those at Tobolsk to

request. This action of the Bolsheviki
is due to insistence of Germans in the
armistice negotiations.
The German negotiators II was
stated, have raised the question OF dis
position of the former members Of roy
atty at Brest- Litovsk. The Bolsheviki
leaders asked the opinion of the grand
Dukes Nicholas Mikhailovitch and Paul
Alexandrovitch, who suggested that all
members of the royal family be al
lowed to leave.
The newspaper Vetchemey Vremia,
asserted today that the kaiser had de-
manded from the Bolsheviki plenipo-

BY CARL d. GROAT.

Washington, Dec. 21.-America's po-
si'ion toward peace is unchanged, the
state department officially stated to-
day. 1t remains as outlined by Presi-
dent Wilson in his message to con-
gress. There can be no peace nego-
tiations while Hohenzollernism, with
it's horrors, exists.
The state department answer was
given in the latest of reported Ger
man peace feelers. extended in an eff
fort to get a peace movement started
by Christmas. The department added
that 1t had not received any of these
''feelers," either formally or informal
ly, and was not advised OF Russian
Minister Trotzky's statement that he
had given the allies two months in
which to join Russia's general peace"
