At least one paper in The Hague is
published with the intention of spread
ing pro-German views and is subven-
ffoned by Germany. This was abun-
dantly proved by lawsuit about the
matter. so 1t is no secret. Some other
papers, like De Niewe Courant of The

Courant. are more or less pro-German,

bought by Germany, but because the

n Is said this measure is taken because

period of moonless, dark and stormy
nights, and the farmer found some Sc

border He got fifty of these together
one particularly dark and blustery
night and they managed to bring all
his cattle and horses. including the
valuable stallion. to Holland, also the
furniture, the fax, hay and everything
he cared to take with him.
Next morning he and his Wife and
children came as close as they dared
TO the wire fence that divided Holland
from Belgium to see what the Ger
mans would do when they found out
he had escaped They did not have
long to wait There was a German
guardhouse close by, and as soon as II
became light the patrol had noticed
something wrong about the house and
farm Soon several Germans appeared
on the scene. including the command
ing officer of that section. To the
farmers amusement, they hunted every
corner of the place, but. of course, they
found nothing worth while. In n great
rage the officer stamped up and down
along the fence and all at once spotted
the farmer.
''Da steht er" C'There he stands.'>
he screamed.
but he is in Hollandr cried one of
the Dutch spectators and the baff1ed
Germans had to return to their guard
house empty handed.
From accounts told by German de-
serters to refugees the Germans are
now reauisitioning all ironware. iron
and tools in parts of Belgium. Every
thing of copper. brass and nickel had
already been taken The iron requisi-

HUNGARIAN CORONATION
Charles and Zita Crowned as
Rulers of Hungary at
Brilliant Ceremony.

Budapest. Saturday. Dec. 3O,--Via
London, Dec. 3l~---s'e assemblage of
$500 Hungarian mobiles witnessed the
coronation Of King Charles and Queen
Zita. 1t was the most brilient in
the history of the country. Not even
the crowning of Francis Joseph pre-
sented such a spectacle of the king
dom's wealth.
The coronation was entirely a Hun
garian event. No foreign princes
were present, except King Ferdinand
OF Bulgaria, who attended in the ca
pacity of n magyar magnate, which
he is by birth. Frederick c. Pen
field. the American ambassador, was
one Of the few neutral diplomats who
were present.
King Charles was attired in the red
Hungarian uniform with a pale blue
mantle, black boots and gold spurs
Queen Zita wore pale blue brocaded
silk with n white veil and the diamond
studded crown above dark blue cap.
The four-year- r-old crown prince was
the first of the royal family to reach
the church. The king and queen ap-
peared at o'clock and the crown
was placed on the kings head by
Premier Tisza. at the stroke of ten.
The service obliged the king to kneel
long and frequently and he moved un-
easily while Cardinal Csernoch. pri-
mate of Hungary. was reading prayers.
While wearing the crown the king
also put on the ancient ST. Stephan
| cloak of faded purple, covered with
| odd designs in gold, and held the an
cient sword of ST Stephan. with which
he made the customary passes. which
symbolize the intention of the mon
arch to defend tho kingdom against
enemies. In making the passes with
the sword, the king neglected to cut
behind him until the officiating bishop
drew his attention to the omission.
| After the church ceremony the king
repeated the oath of office before a
great crowd from the base of Trinity
fountain before the church. There
was cheering for Is minutes.

ARMIES DEADLOCKED
AT NEW YEARS DAWN
Save in Rumania, Beiligerents Are En-
trenched After Undecisive
Twelve Months.

The dawn of 1917 finds the belliger-
cnt armies virtually deadlocked every
where except in Rumania. 1t finds
also In the air a suggestion by the
Teutonic allies that they are ready to
discuss peace. but no basis for the
ending of hostilities has vet been ad-
vanced by them and the entente allies
have signified their determination to
continue fighting until their oft re-
peated desires are complied with.
The war map in the main theaters
OF the war at the commencement of
the New Year shows at various points
material changes in the lines as they
stood 4 year ago, On the front In
| France the Germans in the Somme re-
gion have been driven back by the
French over fronts of considerable size,
while the Germans in the Verdun sec
tor made notable gains toward the
fortress, but later lost part Of the ter
rain through French counter often
sive; the Italians have advanced their
line on the east closer toward Triest.
and the entente allies operating from
Saloniki have placed the Serbians on
their native soil again and also have
pushed forward their lines at various
points in Macedonia.
A great drive begun in June by the
Russian General Brussiloff from the
Pinsk marshes to the Carpathians was
successful in clearing the volhynian
fortress triangle of the Austro- Ger
mans and in the capture of much ter
| rain in C;alicia and Bukowina.
Half Of Rumania, which entered the
| war in August on the side of the en-
tente. is now in the hands of the Teu-
tonic allies.
The sweep of the Russians through
| the Caucasus region and Turkish Ar
| menia has compelled the Turks to yield
much territory, while in the south the
British in their advance toward Bag
dad have been forced to give up their
strategic base at Kut-el-A -Amara and
are being held to a virtual stalematc
by the Ottoman forces
Aside from Rumania there Is little
activity on any of the fronts except
| by the artillery wings of the belligcrAnt
armies on the Moldavia- -Transylvania
front of the Rumanian theater.

Greece Longs for End Of
War, Says King in Reply
to American Executive.
SUFFERED MORE THAN
OTHER NEUTRALS
Allies Answer to Note Will
Garry Thanks Of Belgium
for Assistance.

Athens, Dec S0.-via London. Dec.
31.-king Constantine summoned
Garret Droppers, the American min
lister. to the palace this morning and
communicated to him the text of the
Greek reply to President Wilson's
peace note. In the reply the king as
sociates himself with the president In
willingness to do all in his power to
promote peace.
The note recites the sufferings Of
Greece at the hands of the belligerents
on both sides. while the nation has
been endeavoring to maintain neutral
ity. 1t adds that Greece has endured
greater hardships from the war than
any other neutral and desires the con-
summation of peace.
Admiration and Sympathy
The text of the kings message fol-
lows:
Il wish to express, Mr.. President.
feelings of sincere admiration and
lively sympathy for the generous initi-
ative you have just taken with the
view to ascertaining whether the mo-
ment is not propitious for negotia-
bic end of the bloody struggle raging
on earth.
Coming from the wise statesman
who, in n period SO critical for hu-
manity. is placed at the head of the
great American republic, this humans
tartan effort, dictated by 4 spirit OF
high political sagacity' and lookinr to
an honorable peace to all, cannot but
contribute greatly toward Fastening
re establishment of normal life and
assuring through a stable state of in
ternational relations the evolution OF
humanity toward that progress where
in the United States of America al
ways SO largely shares"
Then follows a recital of the trials
Greece has suffered from the war
The kings message ends as follows:
"such are the conditions in which
your proposals find my country
This short and necessarily incomplete
recital is not made with the purpose
OF criticism of the cruel blows at her
sovereignty and neutrality from which
Greece has been forced to suffer the
effects. l have merely wished to
show you, Mr.. President. how much
the soul of Greece at this moment
longs for peace and how much it ap-
preciates your proposals. which con-
stitute so important a step in the
which we are witnesses.
(Signed), "CONSTANTINE"
The Greek government also Will
make a formal reply. which will asso-
ciate Greece with the proposals OF
President Wilson.

SHOWED N
Great Mass Of Business Con.
fronts Lawmakers; Ses-
sion Short.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Congress re-
convenes Tuesday to race great mass
Of business. including railroad legis-
lation urged by President Wilson to
supplement the Adamson act and the
problem Of how to meet a big treas
ury deficit for the fiscal year. 1918.
These salient issues must be given
consideration together with the an
nual appropriation bills, only one of
which has passed both houses, and
many general legislative measures
that long have been awaiting action.
AS less than two months remain in
the life Of the present session, admin
istration leaders returning from the
holiday vacation are inclined to view
the legislative accumulation with de-
spair and to fear that an extra ses-
sion of the new and politically some
what uncertain congress will be de-
manded
President Wilson's action on Satur-
day in again emphasizing his earnest
desire for railroad strike prevention
legislation by visit to Senator New
lands at the capital. served to quicken
already intense interest in the SUBJ
ject. Interest. however. is not ona-
sided, and strong opposition In both
houses to fhe measure. which would
make railroad strikes illegal pending
extensive official Investigation, gives
assurance of keen legislative con-
test with the result in doubt.
Senator Eewlands, who, as chair
man Of the interstate commerce COM
mission, is leading the fight for the
presidents railroad program, already
has declared that the matter is Of suf-
ficient importance to warrant m ex-
ira session. II it cannot be settled be-
fore March 4.
Tuesday morning hearings before
the interstate commerce committee
will begin on the railroad legislative
recommendations. especially the strike
prevention and the arbitration BILL
The other overshadowing problem
before congress. the revenue producing
necessity, will be taken up by tA ways
and means committee Immediately.
