There was surely there the deep
gratefulness that the fighting was
over. There was the pride that the
fighting had had such a elimination.
There was that sort of gratitude that
the nations engaged had produced
such men as the soldiers of Great
Britain and of the United States and
of France and of Italy--men whose
proves and achievements they had
witnessed with rising admiration as
they moved from elimination to

FRENCH LEADER
WARNS AGAINST
BUSINESS DEMON


Paris, Dec. 2S.--Albert Thomas.
former minister of munitions and
French socialist leader, writes an ed
itorlal in Information under the
heading, ITO our American friends"
IN which he deplores what he calls
the completeness with which Ameri-
cans have abandoned consideration
OF war problems to devote themselves
TO business. He says he hears much
talk of agreements with French m
dustry, notably offers made to chem
zeal products manufacturers to be-
come the agents in France for A4aa,E
lean producers

limited to the sending of great num-

moment of the war, but Americas re-

Economic agreements and cove

The article pleads for the continu-

of the old order was that unstable

determined by the unstable equilib-

day, by the Associated Press. In a
bleak land, deep with snow and with
Z Christmas trees growing all around
them, the American French, Brit
ish and Russian troops on this front
celebrated Christmas day. In this sec
tor where the Vologda- Archangel rail-
way cuts narrow path through the
Arctic wilderness of pine and spruce
forests, there was such Christmas
cheer as the putting, wood burning To-
comotives could bring to the front
ines. The troops ate their Christ
mas extra fare in their log cabins and
dugouts, while the fur-clad sentries
paced their heats in the cold and the
darkness, wondering whether the Boil
shevill armored train crew would OBJ
serve the holiday also. as for the past
few days the enemy has been taking
an occasional pot shot on this front.
In the rear positions most of fheI
Americans had their Christmas din
ners either in their log barracks inl
the tiny heated Russian box cars.
or in their billets, where the peasant

were quartered ueually had boards

weeks be turned over to the govern
ment 1t will, according to present
plans. be at once put into commission
and a large proportion of the govern
ment business between Washington
and the American Expeditionary
Forces in France will be sent direct
through this point.
In addition to the construction of
the plant itself with it's towering steel
masts reaching six hundred feet into
the air, adequate telephone connection
between Annapolis is now being in
stalled The lines from the north
eastern side of the Severn to the site
of the radio station have been placed,
and the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company is now at work on
the submarine cable which will con-
meet the station with the Annapolis
side of the river.
The four 600-foot steel towers have
been completed with their over-hang
ing out-riggers, and the work of paint
ing the structure is to be taken up i'm
mediately This will take about two
weeks.
The quarters for the administrative
force are about completed, too.
These include quarters for the super
intendent of the station, the operators
house, a barracks building for the ma
rine guard which will at all times be
on duty and attend to the policing
of the neighborhood. In addition to
the plans for the policing of the To-
cality, the whole station is further
protected by high barbed-wire fences,
and by electrically controlled detec-
tors.
While the station will >be, when
completed, the largest in the world, it
is shortly to be eclipsed by another
American station. This is the big re-
