Dance for Soldiers and Sailors
4 big dance, free for all soldiers and
sailors, will be held to-day at the
Grand Central Palace, with the New
York War Camp Community Service
rs host. Believing that the boys in
khaki and blue would rather dance
the old year out" than dispose of it in
any other way, the War Camp Service
organization, through Mrs. Charles
Cary Rumsey, Mrs. Charles A. Childs,
Mrs. Robert l.. Gerry. Mrs. Charles
Tiffany and other patriotic New York
women, arranged the affair solely for
uniformed men. Civilians will not be
admitted but any one in the service Of
the United States arms may obtain a
ticket OF admission from any one Of
:he state Socictiea affiliated with the
War Camp Community Service, or from
tho attendants at the entrance ar the
Grand Central Palace. Various state
societies will have booths in the main
hall, where soldiers and sailors from
those states will be entertained.
From present indications. the Broad
way theatres will be crowded tonight,
out although there has been a rush for
reserved seats, there has been a
marked absence Of the reckless eX-
travagance of former years, when
tickets were demanded regardless of
price. Most of the theatres will charge
regular prices for seats at to-night's
performances. A few have announced
increases OF from fifty ceats 20 81 in
the price of orchestra seats, and ona
mas deGed the prevailing wartime
economy spirit, by demanding s. for
the best seats.

Women Suffer in Camp

CAMP MILLS. L. l.. Dec 3O.--Al-
though the thermometer lowered
around 10 below zero to-day tho three
women telephone operators stuck to the
camp switchboard twenty-four hours
until relieved. There was a stove in
the room, but its heat was insufficient
TO keep the room warm and The girls
shivered throughout the night. Calls
from the quartermaster's department
and the hospital corps kept them fairly
busy until early this morning.
The young women. Mrs. May Dixon.
Miss Cora Copius and Mrs. Thomas

When Father Time shoulders his well
worn scythe tonight, composes to rest
the dead Old Year and introduces
Baby 1918 New York Will applaud the
proceeding less wildly than in former
years. Broadway, internationally celc-
bratcd for its New Year celebrations,
riil pop its corks, clink its glasses and
toot its horns, but there is every indi-
cation that il will do so in moderation,
realizing that Baby 1918 will be n Sc
rious-mnded youngster, with all the
hopes and yearnings of war-weary
world resting in its tiny hands.
Just as many of New York's expert
enced New Year celebrants are expect
ed to gather in the city's restaurants,
hotels and cabarets as in years gone
by. Just as many tables have been re-
served. just a5 many horns manufact-
urcd, but, nevertheless, those versed in
the ways OF Broadway predict quiet
welcome fer young 1918. For one thing,
the welcoming materials are more eX-
pensive than in previous years, one
"cold bottle" costing nearly as much as
two did on last New Years Eve. Feast
ing materials, similarly, are procurable
only at prices which dampen the en-
thusiasm Of many would-be feasters.
Mayor Mitchell, who will go out OF Of
fee as young 1918 comes in. has ruled
that no. drinks may be served after l
a. m, the regular wartime closing
hour, aud Mayor-elect Hylan has done

Hoover Satisfied With Plans
Broadway and Fifth Avenue restau-
rant and hotel pIoprIetors and man
ayers of hostieries in less popular To-
calities have expressed their willing
ness to obey the Mayors 1 O'Clock

Of the food administration. Herbert

New York restaurateurs for New
