Officers, subalterns, soldiers, 1918

The fate of France requires it. Be

tempted to break through you have
stopped him. 1t will be the same to-
morrow.
The default Of the Russians has

occasion to assure you the co-opera-
ton Of the United States is becom-
ing more powerful every day. You
are firmly determined to tight as
long as necessary to assure peace
for your children because you know
that If those who are most i'm

most persistent fix the conditions of
peace.
Il salute your flags and in ad-
dressing to you my most affection
ate wishes for 1918 express to you
once again my pride in commanding
you and my full confidence in the

anna HELD AT
ORPHEUMTONIGHT
Partisan Actress Comes to
Fargo With Splendid
Company

Anna Held comes to Fargo this
evening, appearing at the orpheum
in her latest musical comedy, Fol-
low Me.
The Held attraction bids fair to
attract a big house, and the advance
sale Of seats has been exceptionally
good.
The Held production comes to Far
go from the Pacific coast, where the
star and her company have been
playing for short time.
Supporting Anna Held are num-
Der Of well known people, including:
Harry Short, an eccentric comedian
of the Raymond Hitchcock type;
Sadie Howe, coincidence; Marie
Fanchonetti, an exceptionally clever
dancer; Harry and Lew Seymour,
funmakers recruited from vaudeville;
Leon FTancol, a Russian actor admir-
ably suited to his role, and Tilyou
and Ward, topsy- turvy dancers.
AS is to be expected in an Anna
Held show, there is, Of course, the
usual chorus of exceptionally beauti-
full young women. Miss Held, lavish
in her expenditure for gowns for
these as we'll as in her outlay on
scenic equipment, has spent $4,000
TO clothe the sirens of the chorus,
while her own gowns alone cost $15,-
600. The noted French star, whose
attraction, Follow Me, is said by the
Electrically wise in New York to be
the most beautiful ever seen on
Broadway, designed all the scenery
as we'll as all of the gowns. The
result is an amazing harmony or
color.

creations, changing clothes sixteen
times every performance. Her most
remarkable creation is her Peacock
gown, said to have cost $4,000, her
graceful body being the body Of the
proud bird, whose tail she throws
into repose or spreads out fan-like
to the amazement of the audience
through the manipulation of silver
cords.

Lisbon Soldiers at Cody
Haze Fine Christmas: Too
Many Sweets, Says Barber
(Ry Dallas A. Rarbsr.)

Camp Cody, Deming, N. NJ, Dec.
2s.-(By Mail.)-Christmas has come
and gone and We are still at Camp
Cody. 1t seemed very peculiar to us
from North Dakota, to be observing
Christmas without being able to see
snow or to hear sleighbells. For
several days preceding, the presents
began to roll in. l say roll in, for
that is almost the way they came.
Many of the packages were in bad
order and the candy and nuts were
pretty much exposed to the outside
world. For once the boys had more
sweet stuff than they knew what to
do with. There was candy from the
girl friends, and from the Red Cross
units all over North Dakota. There
was cake and jelly and cookies and
still more candy. Christmas morn
ing some of the fellows wondered
why they felt so peculiar, but still
they kept right on eating.
We spent most of the morning
playing indoor baseball. 1t is a good
game and 1t served very we'll in
producing an appetite. We knew
that we were to have q meal, which
would be a regular meal, with
turkey, cranberry sauce and all the
rest or the trimmings.
Shortly before dinner we came in
and shaved, shined our shoes and
leggings, and fixed up generally, FOR
the dinner which was to be a ban
quet dinner. We began our dinner
with an oyster cocktail. Liberal
plates of turkey dressing, mashed
potatoes and gravy, with fruit salad
on the side, constituted the second
course. And of course there were
grapes, apples, oranges and 1ellies to
be had and more candy and nuts.
Then there was pie and coffee, and
at the end OF il all smokes, for those
who wished to smoke.
After we had finished eating we
had several toasts, the toastmaster
Of the affair was Mark Dewire of
Lisbon, N. ID. Each tent was repre-
scented by a speaker. The sergeants
were represented by Sgts. T. and r.
Campbell, Sgt. T. Streeter and Sgt
8. Daniels. Privates L. Rink, l.
Bailey, D. Barleer, r. Harper, D.
Thorsteston, and Seaman represent
ed each tent on our street with a
little talk Cooks A. Challey, and
Klingbiel spoke in appreciation of
the good feelings, and thanked the
company for the presents they had
received. 1t. l.. b. Green of Edgeley,
N. D.. ate his dinner with us, instead
of with officer friends. He gave us
a very interesting and thought
provoking talk, and we appreciated
his presence very much.
We would have given much to
have been home, but considering the
we were and are
thankful that we are so we'll off.
We hope that next Christmas will
find us in Berlin or in our homes.

Germany's fundamental war aim,
M. PavIovitch added, is to create an
economic union stretching from
Hamburg to the Persian gulf, giving
Turkey and Bulgaria. with certain
restrictions, the same position as
that occupied by Australia and Can

Great Britain.
The representatives of Bulgaria
and Turkey, the Russian delegate
said, are most obstinate regarding
concessions as compared with the
German delegates and he believes
that their attitude will hamper fur

Rome, Tuesday, Jan. 1.-Sen, Gug-
lielmo Marconi, who has been ap-
pointed head of the italian permanent
mission in America, made the follow
ing remarks today in addressing the
senate on Italo-American relations:
THE Italian mission to the United
States again realized during it's jour
ney the great friendship and sympa-
thy existing there for us and the
great assistance the United States is
ready to give us.
THE friendly feeling and concrete
measures adopted by the American
people in favor of Italy deserve our
entire gratitude. We must consider
the spontaneous, American interven-
ton in the war with special satisfac-
tion."

London, Jan. an. Radek, on be-
half of the Russian delegation, &C
cording to the Russian official news
bureau, made the following state
ment at a meeting with the Austro-
German delegates to discuss the con-
dition OF prisoners:
cat the moment our conference

ating the miseries Of the war, / have
to announce that to those victims
who fell in the battle for peace. now
have been added still more sufferers.
Many German friends of peace,

according to information received.
have been put into prison in conse-
quence of their fight for peace. 1t is
impossible at present to verify this
report but If it should be we'll found

work viii be made infinitely more

standing the spirit which broke the
chain of Russian citizens and which
regards prisoners OF war as free
men,"

respondent reports that the Russians
insisted, however, and that Count
Won Mirbach agreed to transmit the
