Old Glory Prominent.

Constitution Hill, whose trees pre-
clude the erection of masts, will be
lined with wounded soldiers and wo-
men of the navy and army auxiliary
services The masts around the
Queen Victoria memorial, in front of
Buckingham Palace, will carry alter
nately the Star Spangled Banner and
the Union Jack.
After President Wilson is presented
with the freedom Of the city at the
Guildhall on Saturday he will take
luncheon with the lord mayor at
Mansion House. proceeding thence to
Buckingham Palace by the way OF
the Thames embankment. The free
dom of the city will be placed in a
handsome gold casket, which will be
sent to the President later. as it will
not be finished in time for the cere-
mony itself.
Although the Presidents route
through London is only two miles
long, there will have to be some
hurrying to get the decorations COM
pleted. Several hundred persons are
employed on the work, which con-
tinues at night and throughout the
Christmas holiday. Some idea of the
work involved can be obtained from
the lgures of materials used. These
include 10000 feet of red cloth, many
tons of moss and evergreens and
about six miles Of festoons and PEN

Dinner Requisites.

Although the market was we'll sup
piled with turkeys Of all sizes. retail
prices were soaring during the morn
ing hours today.
In the downtown market section
there were few, II any. birds being
sold at retail under so cents a pound.
In fact, more turkeys were being sold
at So and SIS cents than at prices be-
tween As and so cents. The latter
price, however. appeared to be pre-
vailing.

disguised. prospective turkey purchas-

the prices probably would be lower
than those Of the past two or three

NEW YORK. December 24.-The

at a novel Christmas celebration ar

In Camp Almost a Year.
According to Maj. w. P. Unversau,
the Indiana men were "keenly dtsap-
pointed" in not getting into the fight
ing. They were at an American train
ing camp for almost year before
they sailed. but when the armistice
was signed they were all ready for
action and expecting daily orders to
entrain for the front.

many crowned heads. one of the
latest. but the least mentioned at

Victorta's reign, and was always
known as the house Of the king of the
Belgians when royalty was entertain
ed here.
Those in charge of the details of
the arrangements. particularly tho
omcials at Buckingham Palace. are at
times puzzled over the niceties Of
etiquette, the result Of the unique
situation that there will be no royal
guests at the palace. These puzzles,
airy duration. except among some Of
the aged attendants. who have been
understood that they have been
informed that it will be plain "Mr
Wilson" and Mrs. Wilson," much to
their relief.
Much Of the regal pomp Of Bucking-
ham Palace ended at the beginning
of the reign Of Edward VII. but
much was left to be eliminated by the
present king. 1t Is still a far cry.

ONCE CITY FAILED
TO co lover TOP"
Washington Does 0ne-Third
as Well as Nation in Red
Cross Drive.
DEPARTMENTS MAY HELP

Did Washington go over the top in
the Red Cross Christmas roll call which
ended at midnight last night?
1t did not. 1t is still hugging the
trench. 1t may go over yet; 1t all de-
Ponds on the governmental depart
ments. These are slow in making
their returns. On the other hand,
these returns, when they do come IN,
are almost invariably gratifying. and
give hope that the National Capital
may yet step into its proper place in
the lineup of the country.
Washington, SO far, has done only
about one-third as well as the aver
available returns from 60 per cent Of
the chapters throughout the country
show that those chapters enrolled H.
10000 members.
Assuming that 60 per cent Of the
chapters represent about 60 per cent
Of the people. the nation enrolled it
self at about the rate Of 40 per cent
The District of Columbia enrolled, so
far as is known, between $4,000 and
60, 900 out of a population estimated
at about 100000. or at rate of not
more than Is per cent. 1t was hoped
to go 100 per cent.
Weather and Influenza Blamed.
Bad weather and influenza mill
tated against the nationwide cam
paign, both here and elsewhere. Chap
tiers in some localities on this ac-
count have determined to carry the
campaign through Christmas eve, but
locally it has ended. However, enroll
ment headquarters, at 141S H street
northwest, is still ready and glad to
receive membership of belated cfti-
40
coupons for the convenience of those
who were not solicited and who have
not found time to call at headquar-
tiers.
Last night the Washington bar
racks military band gave a concert
corner of 18th and D streets north
west, while volunteer workers solicit
ed subscriptions from the audience.
While there is little prospect that,
even with the belated reports from
the federal departments and the sub
tional Capital will go over the top
100 per cent strong, a number of
Washington banks and business in
situations have made that creditable
record, the latest to be added to the
list being the Merchants Bank.
Central Division Continues Lead.
Returns from all divisions last night
were far from complete, and officials
said it probably would be another week
before final reports on the enrolment
would be in hand. The central division
continued it's lead with more than 4,o00,-
900 members and the Atlantic division
was second with more than 100000
Reports from other divisions showed:
Lake. 1,641.500; southwestern. 1928. 400;
Pennsylvania Delaware, about 100000,
and New ENGLAND. 9S5. 900
1t is learned that the Potomac di-
vision, which comprises Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland and the
District of Columbia, averaged gen.
orally even lower in its enrollments
than the District did.
An idea of the way the influenza
has interfered with the drive is
shown by conditions in one state in
the middle southwest. where stretch
of territory with population of
about 100000 was entirely inaccessi-

Hoover and Hurley Confer
With the President on Food
and Shipping Problems

PARIS, Monday. December o.
Herbert c. Hoover, American food ad-
ministrator, and Edward N. Hurley,
chairman Of the American Shipping
Board, called on President Wilson by
appointment late today. Mr.. Hoover's
visit was in connection with the great
problem of provisioning sections of
Europe where great food shortage
exists or Is threatened as the result
Of the overunning of the country
by German troops or by exhaustion
or the inability Of the Inhabitants to find
labor to till the soil.
Suggestions that relief work in
these sections be placed in the handle
of an international committee have
come from some entente countries
but it now seems assured that the
in this matter will be adhered to. 1t
Is probable that the work of supply
ing food will be retained under one
head in the interest OF rapidity Of
action and efficiency. This head. 1t
seems certain. will be MI Hoover
the extension of the machinery he
has already created for the relief
of devastated portions Of Belgium
and France.
Shipping Problems.
Mr.. Hurley talked with Mr.. Wilson
on shipping subjects. One feature OF
the problem under consideration IS
the application of the French govern
it's merchant marine through the use
of great American shipbuilding
plants, which were developed to meet
war needs. The French government
has already. through Capt Andre
Tardieu. when he was french s. Msn
reminded Mr.. Wilson that France was
compelled in the common interest OF
the entente to completely suspend the
construction of merchant ships:
NJ. Tardieu at that time told the
President that France could not even
by German submarines II she turned
her great shipbuilding plants into
munition factories to supply the en-
tente armies with artillery and NUM-
ton. He explained that the end Of
the war, therefore, would find France
upon foreign bottoms if her appeal
for aid was unheeded.
Due consideration is being given
this claim, but it is understood that
the chairman Of the shipping board is
disposed to withhold American ship
customers until the final peace treaty
is signed. Mr.. Hurley intended to re-
turn Immediately to America, but has
changed his plans, and, because there
is a probability that these subjects
will soon become a matter Of nego-
tiation, has decided to remain in Frnce
indefinitely.
Frances Big Program.
It is understood the French build
ing program calls for six million tons
within the next three years. The
French government already has
placed orders for 100000 tons in
British yards, and had hoped to place
800. 900 tons in American yards The
aggregate after three years would
be about three times the merchant
tonnage Of France previous to the
war. Tho increase is said to be due
largely to Oranges by which the
Aediter1anean ports viii become the
osnterD Of the commercial penetration
Of Europe instssd Of the North sea

No Eleventh-Hour Drop.

Unlike the turkey market at Thanks
giving time, there has been no eleventh.
hour drop, and according to oid.time
market men, there is not much nKen-
hood of such good fortune.
The principal reason advanced Tor
the high price is that the shippers
have been receiving more for their
turkeys than they did for the Thanks
giving shipments. This has neces-
sarily increased the wholesale price,
with the ultimate boost to the con-
sumner. In the downtown section the
prevailing wholesale price this morn
ing was 46 cents a pound. Live birds
were selling at two to three cents
cheaper.
Chickens. ducks and geese also are
high in price. The first named, of
which large numbers were being sold
today, were averaging Al cents.
