 As nearly as possible. the program which was planned by General Persh- ing at Colonia Dublan, Mexico, last year, was carried out here tonight. The biggest tree obtainable in the mountains was cut and shipped to the fort on a flatcar The soldiers of the various regiments stationed ih the district assisted in decorating it and a program which included sacred music and Christmas carols was given around the tree by army and civilian singers from Fl Paso.
 All but the most necessary camp duties have been suspended in the district and division tomorrow and the soldiers will be given a holiday from drills and training for service in the trenches of France. Tomorrow night a program will be given at Camp Newton D. Baker, under the auspices of the war service board, for the soldiers of the district.

LITTLE LIFE GOES ON
 CHRISTMAS DAWN

Little Catharyn Portia Christy. five year. old daughter of MT. and Mrs Charles B. Christy, died this morn ing just as Christmas Day was ushered in. The little girl, a most lovable child, had been ill since last Fri day with pneumonia. Almost from the start of her illness she lapsed into unconsciousness and it was not until last evening she recovered sufficient ly to recognize those about her. Then she recognized her father, saying, Father, I love you, love you.' This was her farewell to those who loved her so dearly for in a few hours she was no more.
 The little one died at the home of her parents at S04 North Third ave nue. She was born in Oakland on De- cember 12, 1912, and her short life had endeared herself to all who knew her for she was one of the most lOvable of children. It was on Christmas Day five years ago that the little girls mother was pronounced out of danger and so she was a veritable Christmas child, for her mothers first knowledge of her arrival came on Christmas of 1912. when the Episcopal choir boys singing carols beneath the mothers s window brought her to a realization of the little life which was to finger for so short time.
 Funeral arrangements are not yet announced.

BARONESS |S HELD
 WITHOUT BAIL IN
 ESPIONAGE CHARGE
TRepubIican A. P. Leased WireJ

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 24.- Baroness Iona Zollner, of New York. wife of a German army officer serving on the Flanders front, was held with out bail for the federal grand jury here today on the charge of violating the es- pionage act. Lieutenant John w.. Spaulding, the 22 year old United States army officer arrested with the woman at a local hotel last week, was sent to Fort Oglethorpe under guard after he had testified for the defense.
 The charge against the baroness is based chiefly upon a code found in her possession and letters written by her to her sixteen year old son Bedford Shope The code, Spaulding swore to- day. was arranged so the baroness could be kept informed as to his move ment until such time as he might be sent to France. One of the letters to the boy described minutely a trip to Fort Oglethorpe, the condition of the roads and the topography of the sur rounding country
 Spaulding testified that he loved the prisoner and wanted to marry her; that she had paid his hotel bills and other expenses on various occasions and that she helped him to get a commission in the army after he had been compelled to resign from the naval academy on account of bills
 Baroness Zollner denied the charges vigorously. She said she had been in vestigated at Washington and Anna polls and was permitted to move about under the known status of an alien enemy.
 Commissioner McAlester, who con- ducted the hearing, indicated that much of the evidence against the defendant had been explained away. He refused to accept bail but advised counsel for the baroness to apply to the federal district judge for a writ of habeas corpus.

submit his solution of the railroad problem to congress.
 The senator's chief interest for years has been in Americas railroad trans portation lines and in the development of national waterways both gor trans portation and for greater fertility of land. Because of his close touch and deep interest in these questions he was universally regarded as the pre-emi- nent expert on them in the senate and probably in congress.
 As author of the Newlands' act, which has provided plan of land inn provement in the arid west by devel- opment of Waterways he also was well known. He has for long time pressed legislation for expenditure of many millions of dollars for. water way and irrigation improvements, re- gently witnessing partial fruition of his hopes in the appointment of q special commission authorized by congress for a comprehensive study of American waterway development.
 In his railroad legislative work Sen atOr Newlands has enjoyed the closest confidence of President Wilson and has been regarded as administration spokesman on such matters in the sen ahn. There he was not d frequent de- batter, but always was given the closest attention when speaking. He piloted the Adamson eight hour day bill | through the senate during the last con- gress.
 Most of Senator Newlands' businesses | interests are in the west. He was re- puted to be wealthy having extensive mining interests in Nevada and Cali | fornia.
 | Colleagues of Senator Newlands feel | that his loss will be peculiarly felt at l the present time. Only today he was | engaged on preliminary work of the | investigation ordered by the senate of | the interstate commerce commission recommendations for dealing with the railroads. Leadership in this task now probably will devOlve upon Senator | Smith of South Carolina, next in rank to Senator Newlands on the interstate commerce committee.
 Senator Newlands was reelected last for the term beginning March 4, 1915.

SEASON GREETING ] PATRIOTIC CHEER

No more loyal boys have gone forth th fic4a under the Stars and Stripes than the Georgouses brothers of Phoe- nix, Greek Americans who were rightly given a royal send-off by their fellow cDuntrymen here. That they are not forgotten is amply testified to by the following telegram, which cannot fail to arouse patriotic feeling in the Greek colony of Phoenix:
 James and Tony GeOrgOuses, Battery D, $40 +. A.
 Camp Funston, Kansas.
 3 I and the rest of the boys wish you d Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
 We were waiting for you to come and so prepared a beautiful turkey but have now sent it abroad, hoping that you will leave soon and reach there in time to have New Years dinner in Berlin, in celebration of the victory of the l.. <. A. and her allies.
 The Greeks have fought for cen turies for democracy so you, as a Creek American, be ready to shed your blood under the Stars and Stripes to restore universal democracy. It is the only purpose of your fighting.
 Waiting your laconic answer from Berlin NenikicaIaen.

 '-To all right feeling men the pres

 la Santa Claus, we are glad to vel come the youngsters for their own cheerful selves, and they should feel that they are conferring a favor upon

 Some of us have had the good for tune to be received on such terms with
 the families here that a stranger might mistake us for sons or brothers, not newly arrived foreigners. These cordial relations will be still further promoted by the Christmas entertainments"

 We are sorry we cannot be with you in America this Christmas. We miss you. We appreciate the blessings of our own families and our own coun- try as never before.
 ''Yet, since to ensure the safety of us all and help in the cause of right we must stay until the work is done, you should be glad to the bottom of your hearts that we have so good and so Christian a Christmas.
 Most of us have helped to brighten your lives on other Christmas days, possibly by our gifts and our presence. Few this year can give what they de- sire; none can be with you.
 However. you may find some cause to rejoice in the fact that We are doing everything we can to brighten
