spent The CHRISTMAS
holiday VIII he Quiet as Result of
Official Disapproyal of Conyen-
tional rHilarity.

Paris, Dec. 25.--A quiet Christmas
b scheduled for the American peace
commission and the various American
vtaffs here because of official disap-
1EUval OF the conventional holiday
hilarty. Indeed, all Paris plans a
pather sober festival. The project OF
police has forbidden the usual "reveli-
lsn"-midnight supper on Christmas
eve. All restaurants and cafes must
- closed at $3.50 P. NJ.
The reason for this ruling is that it
would not be fitting for Paris to revel
n food and gaiety when the hundreds
e thousands of men. women and
children In the devastated regions are
Suffering intensely.
Secretary and Mrs Lansing, Colonel
House and Henry w. Hite will take
dinner Christmas Eve with Am bassa :
Cor Sharp.

president on the trip to American field
headquarters, Mem bers of the state

guests in American homes here or
rely on Christmas cheer in their re-
Spective hotels.
Demands for the Anglo American
armies have driven prices sky high.
Turkey sells for as much as $3.50 a
pound. Beef is s1.25 and pate de
tots gras IS per pound. Chestnuts are
tWenty-eight cents. Chocolate candy,
gface fruits and pastries are unob-
tainable.
There is just one place in all
Paris where mince pie is being made
today. This Is in the basement Of the
Hotel Regina. which is the headquar
ters of the Red Cross.
A certain American woman, Mary
Elizabeth. whose surname lis famous
throughout the candy manufacturing
world at home. was busy all day with
giYl assistants baking real nince pies
end frying delicious douEhnuts eS-
oausiyely for dinners of the wounded
Americans at Neuilly and other Amer
sean convalescent hospitals.
Appetizing odors spread 10 the
nearby Rue de Tivoli, causing Ameri-
cans TO stop and sniff hungrily.
The creators of these dainties have
been forced to construct the pies in
deep dishes. but take the word of a
hungry exile for 1t: They are the reg
ular thing.
The Red Cross will serve free tur-
hey dinners to soldiers in four cam
teens. Three Christmas Eve dances
ore being arranged. There will be
Christmas trees and gifts at every
hospital.

NO HARDSH|PS SAYS
SECRETARY BAKER

Washington. Dec. 25.--Secretary OF
War Baker believes no hardship will
come TO any great number of men
through cancellation OF war contracts.
Complaints have reached him con-
corning the effect on labor of war
contract canceliat ton.
1t is stated that cancellations have
produced particular hardship in Con-
necticut Mr., Baker said he had no
knowledge of complaints from tina,
state. His information. he said, Is
that there is a demand for labor in
many places and that while many
workers had gone long distances to
work in government shops, there waa
no way in which these men could be
returned to their homes at govern
ment expense.
He also pointed ont that ample no.
tice was given at the time Of the sign :
ing OF the armistice thar war work
would cease in many directions
He admitted that the labor situa-
ton was still unsettled. but pointed
out that agents OF the government
were doing much to assist those
thrown out of work in finding en-
pioyment.

Washington. Dec. 25.-president will
son has made possible a Merry Christ
mas and a Happy New Year" for the
German alien enemies In the United
States. From the American embassy
in Paris yesterday he flashed by wire
less to the department OF justice a mes
sage lifting the order establishing
barred zones In various parts of the
country.
The presidents act will permit the
return home on Christmas day of thou
sands of Germans who were required
shortly after America entered the war
~ leave cities and districts in which
war work was going on. Only inter
ment and immigration regulations will
remain in effect with regard to this
class of persons.
The department of justice statement
issued after the receipt of the presi-
dents radiogram follows:
'On the recommendation of the at
torney-general. the president has d.
rected that on and after Christmas day
the attorney general discontinue en-
forcement of all regulations affecting
the conduct of male and female Ger
man allen enemies. except those re-
strictons which apply to entry into
and departure from the country and
those affecting the power of interment.
This means that on Christmas day
the permit and pass systems effective
against these aliens will be abolished
all over the country and that ali pro-
hfbited areas and restricted zones will
90 out of existence All registration
regulations will likewise cease and it
will no longer be necessary for German
alien enemies TO obtain permits for
change of residence, In short they will
be freed of all restrictions affecting
places Of residence and of employment
"The Encouragement however will
continue to exercise as heretofore the
power TO intern alt dangerous German
alien enemies, The action OF the pres
dent does not affect in any way the
status Of men already interned or the
restrictions and obligations heretofore
imposed on alien enemies now on
parole. Any violation Of parole will
be punished as heretofore"

significant, however. than the support
from these quarters is the detailed
schedule OF procedure which the
French censor has allowed lie Matin

that such an article was prepared. but

The article. indeed, conveys the i'm

method consists in fixing the general

Whether the presidents ideas will
