QUIET NEW YEAR IN LONDON
soldiers Throng Streets, But Go Home
Early; Little Fun.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The third New
Years eve of the war was extremely
quiet in the British capital. The din
ncr tables in the restaurants were well
filled, largely by soldiers, but all the
establishments closed at II o'clock
and few persons fingered in the streets
or elsewhere to watch the death of
1916.
There was the traditional gathering
outside st. Pauls cathedral, but il
was a smaller crowd than usual that
joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne."
For the first time since the war be-
gan the cathedral clock bell, known
as Great Paul" chimed the last hour
of the year. Only a few churches
held midnight services. The day has
been observed as one of national in
tercession and in recognition of the
devotion of the men and women
serving their country Special Serv-
ices were held in the churches OF all
denominations and collections made
for the Red Cross and the Belgian
relief fund. King George and Queen
Mary and the royal family, who had
spent Christmas in London, passed
New Years at Sandingham.

FOUR BROTHERS DO A
SPLENDID BUSINESS
Got Their Experience in Texas

they have done a combined meican-

This record of business Is sign OF
the prosperity that exists in this part
of Oklahoma. II is another way Of
stating the fact that nine tenths of
the farmers of this region are out OF
debt for the first time in several
years and have the whercwithal in
feed, live stock and money to make
another crop. The record is due to
the merchants instinct that reposes
in each of these members of the
Harris family and the excellent
financial conditions that have de-
veloped during . years of pioneering
George Harris this year has done
nearly Sl50.0O0 of business, that
probably is "a record without par

Come From Texas.
The Harris family came to Okla
homa from sulphur Springs, Texas,
and settled at Waurika i'm 1904. They
remained there three years and moved
to Cornish, in anticipation of the
coming of railroad and the rapid
development of the county. George
was among the first to move his busi-
ness to Ringing when this town sue
cecded Cornish. The four sons ac-
quired their experience in business as
clerks.

CHICAGO THEATERS BUSY
Rcvclcrs Go to Shows Because the
saloons Were Closed.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The Chicago
theaters, 1t was said today, did the
largest business in their history last
night, owing to the fact that New
Years eve fell on Sunday when the
sale of liquor is prohibited.
Several Of the downtown theaters
gave two performances at night.
During the one hour between mid
night and o'clock this morning when
liquor could be sold many sought to
complete the celebration begun earlier
at the theaters, but proprietors of
hotels, restaurants and cafes reported
that only small percentage of the
crowds who usually watch the old
year out and the new in were there.
In the dining room of large down.
town hotel capable of seating one
thousand, less than one hundred
gathered during the hour when liquor
was obtainable.

SWISS DETERMINED
TO STAY NEUTRAL
President, in New Years Mes
sage to America, Says Ger
many Not Feared.

GENEVA, via Paris. Jan. I.-Presi-
dent Schulthess of Switzerland sends
the following message for 1917 to the
American people thru the Associated
Press:
switzerland, surrounded by four
great nations at war, and faithful to
its secular traditions, is determined
TO maintain her absolute and loyal
neutrality in this terrible conflict. The
Swiss people. banded about their flag,
are ready for every sacrifice to pro-
tect their independence. the integrity
Of their territory. their honor and ma
tional dignity. They are convinced
that all their neigh bors will respect
their decision and whatever happens.
never will they allow foreign army
to invade their soil.
Greetings to America.
"The oldest democracy in the world
sends fraternal wishes 20 her great
sister republic. to the American peo-
pie and to their illustrious president.
switzerland hopes to be able to salute
with the United states the coming of
peace in the year which commences.
In the meanwhile Switzerland tinda
her moral satisfaction in giving hos
pitality and caring for the victims of
the war, regardless of their nation
ality, and also in foreshadOwing 4
happier future 10y showing that peO-
pies Of different languages and races
cannot only live in peace but even can
form single nation"
Don't Fear for Safety.
Statements in Paris and Rome pa
pers that Germany might violate
Swiss territory have caused some anX-
iety among the Swiss which President
Schulthess and several state counsel
lors thot it necessary to counteract by
stating publicly that they had no fen
that Switzerland would be forced from
her neutrality. Movements of Italian
troops near the Swiss border have
been interpreted by the alarmists a.
proofs tina: Italy feared an attack by
the way of the republic, but high gov
ernment officials emphatically ridi-
culed such an assumption.

Manchester Guardian Says Re
ply to Wilson Should Be
Decidedly Different.

LONDON, Jan. The hope is ex-
pressed by the Manchester Guardian
that the forthcoming note of the en-
tente to President Wilson will he writ
ten by a different hand and in a differ
ent spirit than the reply Of the allies
to Germany.
several things must be romcm-
bered in oXtenuation of the poor qual.
ity and poorer expression of the allies
reply to Germany" saws the Guardian.
obviously it Is not a good translation
from the French. Moreover. the
French original clearly is not tho
Frorch Of Il Frenchman. We should
say it Is a French rendering Of a
Russian original. passed without sem
sible modification in Paris, and finally,
badly done into English IN London.
ASIDE from these blemishes, in sub
stance the reply was very much what
was expected and inevitable. We VEN
ture to think nothing was added to its
course by the verbal embellishments
with which 1t was enlarged and weak
enCd. These emotional appeals con-
tinuc thruout the note until the post
script, which is strong, clear, logical,
convincing and obviously by different
hand dealing especially with Belgium.
Nevertheless, we see no reason
why. if Germany is willing publicly
to state what she is prepared to offer,
we should not follow with a statement
Of what we demand. The next cN-
change of views will he between tho
allies and President Wilson. This is
a different, and in many respects a
more critical matter. The reply of
the central powers was collective. but
we see no reason why the reply of the
allies should be- At least we hope it
will be drafted in this country and
addressed as we alone know how to
the mind and heart of the people Of
the United States. The drafting
should be 10y Foreign Secretary
