(Thursday,) Dec. 2O.--The great bulk
of the American expeditionary force
will not get it's expected Christmas din
ner. A submarine attack forced the ship
which was carrying cranberries to turn
back. and through some unknown cir
cumstances, two ships which We're car

States so late that is was impossible
for them to arrive in time. The turkeys
which already have arrived in the army
zone were left over from Thanksgiving,
as was the mincemeat, which has been
received. This supply, however, will go
an extremely short way.
The quartermastcr's corps is now
busy trying to secure a substitute for
the anticipated Christmas provender

German government. 1t was reported
unofficially in October of last year that
about 10000 persons. including several
thousand women, were at work there
and that 10000 We're to be added to the
force. Early this year there was a

Essen is i'm Rhenish Prussia, about
40 miles from the Dutch border. Few
places in Germany are guarded more
carefully. No persons unknown to the
German authorities are permitted to
visit the town. The plant has been
raided several times by French and
British airn,en, notwithstanding its
formidable aircraft defenses.
Dispatches last July said 100 per-
sons there had been killed in air raids
by French airplanes and considerable
damage had been done to the works.
