CHRISTMAS AT CAPITAL
 WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING

Washington, Dec 30.-(Special)- The holiday season has passed and 1t is now possible to describe Washington in the midst of that festivity. It was awful. There were no firecrackers or Roman candles or skyroclSets. There were no sleigh bells, for instead of snow there were roses blooming ev- erywhere. SantaN Claus came, it is said. but there is no authority on which to base a statement to that ef- feet
 There was one Christmas tree. It was a small cedar of crooked and wry appearance. It was not dignified in
 it's fall by the blows of an ax. X hatchet did it. It was erected on the capitol plaza and was presided over
 by Secretary Baker. It was in honor of the children whose fathers were still in France or beneath the sod.
 In was one of the saddest incidents
 of the Christmas season. It was ot miserable appearance. Even when
 dressed in lights it gave the appear .
 ance not of beautiful woman but a ening gown and jewels to hide in a screen of wealth her paucity of nat ural beauty.
 And it's burden! This nation gave nothing to these children calculated to make their hearts beat. There were numerous stockings aboard. Iney eacn contained candies and nuts-the former of very poor quality and the latter of miserable numerical strength. There was nothing to cause speculation, or later, to produce surprise. It was tame and tawdry, a very poor substi- | tute for that which the fathers would have done had they secured their dis charge from the army
 l The secretary presided He made a very pleasing speech. He used in imi- l tation of the President. May I not and other phrases which have become household phrases. He then retired and a score of soldiers proceeded to l dish out the stockings with their can- l dies and nuts.
 l And this was all. Otherwise, Wash l ington was uneventful. Nevertheless 1 New Years day will arrive. Then the representatives of the Chinese govern
 ment will don their queues and all will be well again.

Little Stories Of the
 DayFron, Washington
George Cree Is Coming Home and Again There Is Much Mystery and Speculation Christmas at National Capital Disappointing Farmers Failed
 to Get Nitrate Supply
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, Dec 30.-(Special)- George Greet, who since the beginning of the war. has controlled publicity in Washington. and who is now per- forming similar functions in France is coming home. There is great mys- tery involved, for MT. Creel announceu before his departure that he would be abroad as long at the President- perhaps longer.
 No one in Washington accepts un- equivocally his statement that his work lis completed.'' Everyone is prone to believe that there's dead rat in Denmark. There is no question but that news has been awfully gar bled since the Presidents arrival in Europe, and this fact may have in- censed the members of the peace com mission As is remembered, the United States was made indignant when the news came evidently with authority that the President and the other mem bers of the American commission were committed to a policy of sinking the surrendered German vessels to fore stall a quarrel incident to their di- visionl
 Just as the indignation of the people was at it's height, and several senators had entered vigorous and formal pro- tests, the President himself authorized statement that the report was un- founded in it's entirety. As to whether Sor not Greet was responsible is un- z Nknown. If he was responsible, this fact might not have resulted i'll his dismissal or forced resignation.
 There is still another conjectural reason. Mir Creel Is and always has l. e~.. |, <-H 4t-n senatorial bulls. Since his arrival in France the Senate has bitterly inyeigh- ed against him. An impression might have been created on the part of Eng

MISTAKE BY
 ANTI-PROHIBIT1ONISTS

Washington. December 30.--(SpecialO
 In the House today the anti-prohibt-
 tionists pulled bone. Leader Kitchin
 moved that the House appoint conferees on consideration of the revenue bill.
 The revenue bill was amended by the
 Senate so that the Reed "bone-dry'
 amendment will be applicable to the
 District of Columbia.
 Quietly, Mir. Kitchin. who is pro- hibitionist, but who objects to some of the political maneuvers of the pro- hibitionists had expressed opposition to attaching a prohibition measure to the revenue bill, inasmuch as a ma jority of the Senate conferees are op- posed to the drying up of the district. the opposition of MT. Kitchin was suf- fcient to render that danger imma- terial. But some of the antis did not know the attitude of Mir. Kitchin. So, Representative Kahn of Cali fornia, having received no formal as- surance from MT. Kitchin that he would oppose the District of Columbia "dry measure" opposed the appointment of conferees. This gave MT. Randall of California. prohfbitiontst, an oppor- tunity to ask MT. Kitchin for promise that the House would be given oppor- tunity to express itself in record vote. MT. Kitchin thereupon promised. I It is a cinch that the House, irrespec- 1 tive of it's personal desires, will vote l the District dry if compelled to do so | in the open.
 In course of the debate, Uncle Joe' Cannon protesting against the tactics | of the prohibitionists, declared that whereas Washington for more than a year had been dry, one without diff culty could find an abundance of H. quor even in the House office buildings. While this fact is true, Representative Rucher of Missouri, himself an anti, could not forego the pleasure of joke. l So, he followed the gentlemen from Illinois with the laconic comment, if not 1 lament: "Following the session of the
 House, MT. Speaker, I would request | a consultation with the venerable and i estimable gentleman from Illinois"

SAYS SOLDIERS ARE
 AGAINST PROHIBITION

Washington, December 30.-(SpeciaD Soldiers in France returning to America will overthrow the reigning regime, according to Grady Corbitt of Ozark, former secretary to Representative, Steagall, now American vice consul at Lyons, France.
 The boys have become accustomed to French customs, he added. They can step in and for a few pennies buy ex- cellent French wine and lose there by their apetities for stronger drink. in addition. they have contrasted con ditions in France, where everyone pro- ceeds on the theory that he should live and let his neighbor live, with the narrower. self-righteous attitude of the average American.
 "So, when they come back they will turn things over. They are going to control politics. and they are going to
 have their way. From Pershing down they are anti-prohibitionists and ev- erybody knows 1t"
 MT. Corbitt, before returning to his post, will marry Miss Ethel Sloan. daughter of Representative Charles H. Sloan, for many years one of the lead- ing Nebraskians in the House of Rep resentatives.

X-PRES|DENT TAFT APPROVES WILSON'S
 LEAGUE OF NATIONS
In Speech at Brooklyn He Asserts President Has Great Influence With
 Common People

New York, December 3o.Approval of President Wilson's trip to Europe and of his plans for league of nations was ex- pressed by William Howard Taft in an address here under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute of Art and Sciences. He asserted the President had more in fluence with the common people of Eng land and the other allies than their own princes and attributed this to his enun- citation of the principles for which the United States entered the war and to the league of nations proposal.
 You will notiee,'' he said of the pro posed league, that Lloyd George and I.Clemenceau have come out for it. Of course, I don't want to suggest any ul- terior political motives, but there are poll ticians in Europe as well as in the United States"

land and French commissioners that because of the Senate's bitterness against Creel, the Senate was not in accord with the general peace scheme of the President.
 MT. Greet, with the exception of Col onel House, has been closer to Ihe President since the beginning of the war than any other man. But for that fact he could not so long have wealth cred the vituperation of the Senate or the criticism following his unwise pub lie speeches. At one time he publicly apologized to Congress for having re- ferred to the House in connection with "slums," and again he thanked God that the United States was unprepared at the beginning of the war, remark which was subjected to several widely diverse interpretations. But the Presi- dent remained steady by his guns and MT. Greet always managed to pull through.
 Because of it all, the sudden com pletion of his work abroad, a compile tion effected even before the first ses- sion of the peace conference, has given Washington an opportunity for more widespread gossip than it has had in many weeks

 It is anticipated that President Wii- son by proclamation will confer the titles of these soldiers. Otherwise Congress on it's own accord will under take to enact proper legislation.
 There have been few generals in the United States army. Grant and Sher- man was given this rank following the civil war. and Sheridan was made a lieutenant general

WHY FARMERS DID NOT GET NITR ATE

Washington. Dec. so.-(special.) )-- It is now for the first time known why the farmers did not get the 1os,- 900 tons of nitrate of soda for which an appropriation of s1o,ooo.o0o. was expended B. M. Baruch, in a released statement, states the case for the war industries board.
 The nitrate was purchased from Chile, but when en route to this coun- try, the Germans began their spring offensive. The shipments were in con sequence diverted to France where the nitrates were used in manufacturing explosives In this way, according to Chairman Baruch, the farmers further contributed to the winning Of the war. The nitrate fund is a revolving fund. however, and will be annually avail able as long as needed. The nitrate will be imported and sold to the farm CTS at cost. It Is anticipated that sne fund will not be used after the Muscle shoals enterprises are in full opera ton.
