NEW YEARS AT WAR.

New Years Day 1918 will not be the
riotous festival that 1t usually is in
the large cities of the United States.
The stern business of war has put
considerable damper on the merri-
ment which usually assists the old
year in eliminating itself.
In the great capitals OF Europe, in
London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and
Vienna the popping of corks and the
clinking of glasses has been silenced
on this night for the past three years.
and now it was the turn Of the Unit
ed States to subdue its merriment
on this occasion. Canada, which has
been right in the thick Of the war,
has led the United States in this re-
spect.
OF all the great cities on earth
New York has always held the dubious
leadership In the celebration of New
Years Eve. In other years the New
Yorker simply turned himself loose"
to welcome the new year. It was
simply a riot of drinking and noise.
and, in the language of the street,
everything went" The sun OF the
first day in the new year usually went
up In New York on the greatest ag-
gregation of morning after" head
aches that could be gathered together
on one spot 1t is estimated that New
York's New Years Eve bill for cham
raigne alone was over a million dol
liars. This year, however, the depart
ing annum was hardly able to recog-
ME itself, because it went out COM
paratively dry, and much of the money
usually spent for conviviality will go
or has already gone, to more useful
purposes.
Formerly London and Paris were
almost os vogiferous In their New
Years celebration. but all that has
changed, too. Before the war the
London streets of the West End and
around st. Paul's were pande-
monium. with jewellers. wearing pa
yer caps and false faces, parading up
and down and blowing horns. Pa
risians crowded the boudevards BY
hundreds of thousands. and the restau-
rants were filled to overlooking. The
other capitals also had notable esis-
brations. but nowhere in Europe has
anyone much heart for merriment
these days and the utilization will
be postponed unsid the restoration of
