planning Italy's sacrifices and her
claim to territories previously held
by the enemy. Signor Barzilai said:
"On the eve of the peace confer

Thousands OF Trees, Santa Claus
Costumes and White Whiskers
Are Ready for Celebration

Paris, Dec. 23.-An American
Christmas for American soldiers and
for French children Is the great
Yuletide project OF the American
expeditionary force, aided by the
Young Mems Christian Association.
Thousands Of tinselled trees decked

in readiness for the day, thousands
OF red Santa Claus costumes with ac-
companying white whiskers have
been provided and thousands of
Christmas entertainments have been
prepared for presentation on Christ
mas eve In the Red Triangle huts,-
"his home over there"
The Americans have shown the
French what they can do in the way
of fighting, and now win present
their peculiar ideas in the way OF
celebrating the day Of universal good
will, the birthday of the Prince of
Peace. Last December, when there
were less than 100000 American
soldiers in France, and these mostly
busted training for the great knock
out which they delivered to militar-
ism this summer, the boys in khaki
and the "Y" workers managed to
show a small sample Of the Ameri-
can Christmas idea to the French
This year the 100000 Americans
here will import Americas Yuletide
bodily and set It down on the sacred
soil Of France where the people have
learned to expect the Yanks to dc
Everything on the grand scale.
The celebration will divide into
two parts, the Christmas for the Am
erican boys so far from their owl
lfiresides and the gin day for. tn,
youngsters OF France, so long denied
real observation of their beloved
Noel.
To each of the 100000 soldier
in the American expeditionary forct

chocolate, a package of cream candy
two packages of cigarettes and til
OF tobacco. In addition each man will

ANYTHING HEARST DOES

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Alfred L.
Becker, deputy attorney general of
New York, on continued eross-exam-
inatien today by Senator Reed, of
Missouri, at the senate committees
German propaganda inquiry, declar-
ed that Senator Reed represented
William R. Hearst, about whom
most of the testimony revolved.
Senator Reed Indignantly denied
that he represented anybody or any
thing except an effort to reach the
truth in a maze of distorted testi-
mony"
The hearing was full of sharp ex-
changes of accusations between Mr..
Becker and Senator Reed, who
sought to show that Becker drew un-
warranted conclusions from scraps
of evidence" of acquaintance be-
tween Hearst and Bolo Pasha, Won
Bernstorff and other German agents.
Mr.. Becker declared he was "sus-

SAYS LIME NEEDED ON
SOUTHERN ORE. SOILS

Oregon Agricultural College. Cor
wallis, Dec. 23.--Practically all the
soils in the humid sections of Oregon
need lime, and circular telling
when, where, how, and why lime is
used has just been issued for farm
ors, by the department OF soils at
the college. The chief reason tor
the use of lime is now recognized as
being the correcting of soil acldity,
points out the circular. Most soils
Of southern Oregon are acid to some
extent, while east of the Cascades
acidity except for the marsh areas is
almost negligible. Farmers interest
ed may get copy of the circular free

and their new government, will
quietly crawl into a corner and ex-
pire."
