LOSSES TO BE REPAID
GOVERNMENT HELPS EDUCk-
TIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Adjustments Will Follow Adolf
ton of Students Army
Training Camps

New York, Dec. 49, Equitable
financial adjustments will be made by
the War department with educational
institutions which have suffered loss
by reason of the Rehabilitation of the
Students Army Training corps.
The announcement that such an ar
rangement had been reached was con-
tanned in letter from Major Ralph
Barton Perry, secretary Of the Com.
mittee on Education of the general
staff, made public here by the Mer-
chants association which had insti-
tuted an inquiry into the subject.
'The War department" Major
Perry said, sis fully aware of the
force of the argument in favor of con-
tinuance of the Students Army Train
ing corps. The rehabilitation will,
in some cases, doubtless result in in
convenience to the institution. The
Committee on Education has, how
ever, been authorized to make equit.
able financial adjustments. 1t is also
recognized that in many cases the in
dividual students will suffer hardships.
1T should, however, be clearly
borne in mind that no man indicted
into the Students Army Training
corps was promised an education at
government expense"

to the following i'm order:
First, the German emperor and the
crown prince; second, General Luden
dorff and Admiral Won Tirpitz; third
the great industrial concerns; fourth

This view of Mr.. Kautzky, who is
examining documents in the archives
of the foreign ministry, was given to
a correspondent of the Petit Parisien
in an interview, quotations from which
reached Washington in official dis
patches.
The documents so far as examined
Kautzky said, prove the truth of state
ments made by DR.. Muelhon, director
OF the Krupp factories, and by Prince
Lichnowski, German ambassador to
England at the outbreak of the war
both of whom have laid the war al
Germany's doors.
The first part of the documents re-
lating to the cause of the war will be
made public within a month, Kautzky
said, and at the same time the Aus,
trian government will publish some

TALKS TO THE YANKS

diers With An Address
SPEAKS AT CKAUM0NT
Executive Responds To Words
Of Welcome Presented to
Him at City Hall

Chaurnont, Dec 26-President Will
son, in his address to the American
soldiers, said that ne did not find in
the hearts of the great leaders with
whom he was cooperating any diff.
ference of principle or of fundamental
purpose.
In response to an address presented
to him at the City hall soon after his
arrival here, President Wilson said:
Il feel that have been peculiarly
honored in the generous reception you
have given me and it is the more de-
lightful because it so obviously comes
from the heart. And l cannot but be-
lieve that it is an instructive response
to the feeling that is in my own breast,
because / think that even you, who
feel contact with our soldiers, cannot
but realize the depth and sincerity of
the feeling of the United States for
France.
Old Friendship ReS swed.
tits ar 1,,>ctel.t frit-sr8sfip. but It
has been renewed and has taken on a.
new youth. 1t is a friendship which
is not only tentative, but one based
upon communion of principle.
You have spoken very generously
and beautifully of the relations which
have sprung up between yourselves
and our soldiers. That is because
they came not only to associate them
selves with you as the champions of
liberty, but they came with personal
affections in their hearts for the peo-
pie of France and it must have been
that which you realized. They did
not come as strangers iii their
thoughts. They brought with them
something that made them feel at
home the moment they were at Havre
or at Brest in France.
Says Vive La France.
$50 l am very much moved by be-
ing thus drawn, as they have been in
to your midst and into your confer
ences and wish to thank you very
the United States. l., like them, shall
carry away with me the most delight
full recoIlections and in my heart shall
always say as / now say, 'Vive La
France"

SINGING ANDEvEf THING
The Great Festive OF sion On
Last Evening Was nd of
Perfect Da

Mankato was the hos .st evening
at one of the biggest most sue
cessful community affd@ ever held
in the history of the city. Thousands
of children from the city and the sur
rounding country were treated to
Christmas candies and nuts, handed
out by Old Santa himself and the joy
of the little folks over the event was
alone compensation for the work and
effort the committees in charge ex-
perienced in making the affair the
huge success that it was.
For over an hour, at the close of
the moving picture entertainment,
steady stream of Riddles marched
past the platform where Santa Claus
and his assistants worked as rapidly
as possible handing out the packages
of candies. Not single yOungster
was missed, provision having been
made to supply every child if possible.
Mayor L. l.. Champlin opened the
meeting with a few well chosen re-
marks. He stated he was glad and
proud to bid people welcome to the
first community Christmas tree that
was ever held in Mankato and ex-
pressed for the many people assembled
their thanks to the Retail Merchants
association, the Advertising club, the
Commercial club and the Elks for the
efforts they made to insure the sue
cess of the affair.
"This is indeed a peace meeting"
stated the mayor. "It is not peace
meeting of victory but meeting to
celebrate that peace which was born
in Bethlehem 1000 years ago. 1t is
the merriest Christmas this country
has had for many years"
Events of Year Recalled.
Events of a year ago were recalled
by Mayor Champlin as in contrast
with the peace and great era of con-
struction before us at this Yuletide
season Following the address by the
mayor Rev. Theis pronounced the in
vocation.
Christmas carols and patriotic
songs were then sung by the crowd
assembled, led by a chorus on the
platform and directed by Miss Cor
nefia Mansfield. The Christmas ca
rolls sung in the shadow of the great
tree, decorated with gay trimmings
and colored lights brought glow of
Yuletide spirit to all the gathering.
Miss Marcella Kammerer played the
piano accompaniment to the songs.
Rev. G. A. Cahoon gave the Christ
mas address for the occasion.
