The shuffle of a pair of feet called their attention to the space beneath the seats. leading to the discovery of the quintette. Fur ther search uncovered the whisky.
 Warrants were issued yesterday by the federal authorities for their arrest, and the five will be held to answer to the serious charge of importing illegal goods into the state from California.

HOW XMAS WILL BE
 CEL EBRATED BY
 SOLDIERS IN FRANCE

PARIS, Dec. 10-An American Christmas for American soldiers and for French children is the great Yule- tide project of the American Expedit- ionary Force, aided by the Young Mems Christian Association. Thous- ands of tinselled trees decked with presents have been distributed in readiness for the day, thousands of red Santa Clause costumes with ac- companying white whiskers have been provided and thousands of Christmas entertainments have been prepared for presentation on Christmas 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 will present their peculiar ideas in the way of celebrat-
 ing 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 train ing for the great knock k-out which they delivered to militarism this summer, the boys in khaki and the "" work : CTS managed to show small sample of | the American Christmas idea to the French. This year the 100000 Amer . jeans here will import America's Yule- 1 tide bodily and set it down on the sacred soil of France where the people
 have learned to expect the Tanks tu do everything on the grand scale. The celebration will divide into two parts, the Christmas for the Ameri- =
 can boys so far from their own fire l sides and the gift da yfor the young 1 sters of France, so long denied a real l observance of their beloved Noel.
 1 To each of the 2,000.000 soldiers in l the American Expeditionary Force the l Y. NJ. C. A. will present a Christmas 1 box containing two bars of chocolate
 a package of cream candy, two pack
 ages of cigarettee and tin of tobacco l In addition each man will receive a l Christmas card.

 given the greatest premier in theatrica
 history-hundreds of first nights

coaches who rehearsed the soldier actors in their parts and furnished the necessary costumes and makeup.
 This same entertainment department also arranged to put on as many pro- eessiolal vaudeville and dramatic shows in as many huts as the eighty nine professional companies of actors at its command could give on Christi mas eve and Christmas day and night. By using the fast travelling motor transport of the ~ these actors, who were sent over by the Red Triangles entertainment department and Ameri cas- over There Theatre league, will be able to give from four to six shows in a day. bringing joy to thousands of men in uniform.
 Amateur talent, however will be the mainstay of the festivals entertain ment. Working on the theory that young men enjoy most the entertain ment which they get up themselves, the ''P" secretaries have arranged un- limited minstrel shows at which plenty of local hits and encore verses talk ing off the members of particular units will count heavily in smashing the black beetles" back beyond their Hin denburg line.
 In every hut will glisten the Christ mas tree. Where the hut has electric 1 lighting. the greenery will be illumiu- ated with litle varicolored incandesc- ents. At the appropriate time Santa Claus will make his initial bow in i France. His first appearance.

GERMANS IN MEXICO
 WERE AGAINST WAR

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 22.-The sign ing by Germany of the armistice with the formation of a socialist govern ment in Germany. has caused a split in the hitherto solid ranks of the Ger man and Austrian colonies in Mexico. Dr. John YeZ, leader of the German socialist wing in this republic. declared today that the greater part of the Ger man residents in Mexico had been op- posed to the war and had also disap proved of the violent German propa- ganda against the United States.
 Dr. Yez asserted that German so- cialists and anti-m militarists in Mexico were in a condition similar to that Of their compatriots in Germany, who dared not raise their voices against the militaristic leaders, for fear of be- traying thee ountry. He added that the Germans now want a world peace. including the cessation of anti-Amer- ican propaganda.
 He concluded with the assertion that the emancipated Germans would now use their best endeavors to curb the harmful activities of the former lead CTS of the German colony in Mexico.

Appropriate addresses will be delivered in English and French. The day of good will and gifts will reach it's climax at night, when dance will be held in each hut, the women canteen workers dancing with as many soldiers as they can by changing partners every time the music changes.
 The celebration in Paris will be the same as at any point, on a magnified scale, with the many American women war workers to make the dances more home like, with a special revue at the American theatre and an athletic con test under "Y' direction at the Palais de Glace.

PIANO SELLER INHERiTS

Omaha, Neb.-Just because he was
good fellow and put strings on an
old, broken down violin while visiting
q hermit In the sage brush country In
california, Eber Smith, piano sales
man In Omaha, has fallen heir to half
million.
The hermit has just died and nam
eu Smith In his will as heir TO this por-
ton of his vast fortune.
OF course Smith did more than
string the catgut on the old violin for
the hermit, but that was the first
thing that endeared him to the old
hermit's heart. The first thing he did
was hunt sage hens on the old her
mit's land. The second thing he did
was call down the wrath OF the old
hermit by his presence on the land.
The hermit was going to drive him
off with sticks and stones, but Smith,
being good salesman and a good
talker, stopped to argue the matter.
That was back in 1904. He explained
that he was a piano salesman and just
out for a vacation.
"Pianars," repeated the old hermit.

dleH"
II know a lot about a violin said
Smith, politely.
Come In" said the hermit. Smith
went to the lonely cabin, put strings
on the old mans shattered vi2lin, tun,
ed 1t up for him and played him some
pieces that delighted his heart when
he was boy.
In 1908, when the forest fires IN
San Bernardino County threatened the
Cettlers, Smith again chanced to be
In the Vicinity on one OF his annual
hunts. He grew anxious about the old
hermit and fought his way for eight
miles thru the fire to see II the her
NIT was all right. He found him lying
helpless In the cabin with broken
leg. He dragged him to safety.
Since then he had heard nothing OF
him, until he was officially notified q
few days ago that Thomas Simpson.
hermit OF San Bernardino county. Cal.
ifornia had died and left him heir to

WEARING DOWN
The KAISER

Many are familiar with the fable that
appeared in the old school readers
about the king who offered a fortune
and the hand of his daughter to the
man who could tell him story that
would last forever in the telling, with
the stipulation, however, that, in case
the story came 10 an end, the person
who failed to complete il was to lose
his head by the sword.
A number OF adventurous spirits lost
their heads in the attempt to keep a
serial going forever TO amuse the
eccentric monarch, but one young man
finally won the fortune and the daugh.
ter by wearing out the very soul of the
king with the story about the locusts
carrying off the corn. "And then an.
other locust came and carried off an.
other grain OF corn" etc, etc, until
the king decided he had had enough OF
the story.
America, in fact, the whole world, is
dealing with an eccentric" monarch
today. This monarch wants the inn
possible, and every one who refuses to
4 give il to him must lose his head. There
Is-eae way to deliver the people of the
yworld from this menace.
Kaiser Wilhelm can be worn out, il
he cannot be crushed by one tremend.
Gus blow. And the Government al
Washington has pointed out the way.
Money will defeat the Kaiser. Small
savings, like the locusts, coming along
from 10000, 900 American citizens, will
wear out the soul OF the war-mad
monarch, American money can wear
out any army in the world, because
there is great deal of American money
: md there are many Americans who
have il. Just mere matter OF q quarter
a day from every wage Garner in the
United States would mean billions o,
dollars every year to buy guns and food
fo- soldiers and ships to carry then
across the Atlantic to defest the sinis
ter purposes of the kaiser and his crew
A quarter, like the grain Of corn, ID
not much in itself, but millions ot
quarters every day mean victory fol
righteousness and humanity.
