British Admiral Pays
Tribute to Americas
Battleship Squadron
BY Associated Press

London, Dec. 1S.-The American
battleship squadron attached to the
British grand fleet, displayed a spirit
of true comradeship throughout its
period of service, declared Admiral
Sir David Beatty, the commander
in-chief of the grand fleet, in a fare
we'll address on board the U. S. S.
New York, on December l, the day
the squadron was detached from
the grand fleet. All hands had been
called to muster on the forecastle
to hear Admiral Beatty.
After thanking the American Of
ficers and men for their co-opera-
ton, Sir David remarked that both
the British and the Americans were
disappointed at not having been
able to meet the German fleet. He
declared that the day the German
fleet surrendered was "a pitiful day
to see." Sir David said he had al
ways had misgivings that the Ger
mans would never come out for a
finish fight and these misgivings had
been strengthened by the coming of
the American squadron.

classed poor widows who are sup

Arrested For HOldup,
Furnishes Four AlibiS

When Charles Williams, colored,
was given a hearing before Justice
Stees, yesterday afternoon, charg-
ed with holding up and robbing a
foreigner, he produced three wit
nesses to prove that he was some
where else at the time of the hold
up. In his own defense he said
that he was in Chambers street the
night the holdup occurred.
Each of his three witnesses testi-
fed to having entertained Williams
and his wife on the night of the
holdup. Unfortunately the four
places are widely scattered ana IL
the testimony be true, then Will
liams was at four different places,
at four differen suppers, and slept
in four different beds all at one and
the same time.
Williams is one of the gang of
five negroes arrested on holdup
charges at SIT South Third street.
All were committed to Jail for trial.

many kinds of toys have been quick
ly exhausted and casual observer
is unable to notice the great variety
of playthings for the youngsters.
Government regulation and the
utilization of practically every manu-
featuring establishment in the Uni
ted States for the production of some
useful article this year, has operated
to reduce decidedly the amount Of
toys produced this year In this coun-
try. Exports of such articles, ma
turally, has been rather small on ac-
count of the war. Added to this, the
propaganda for the purchase of a
maximum of useful gifts and a mini
mum of presents that make merely
for pleasure, caused a reduction in
orders from local merchants, and as
result even smaller amount of
toys than would have been produced
If 1t had not been for this agitation.
But there still remain toys that
used to gladen our hearts as we tip
toed through the gray dawn of the
morning of December 25 in years
past, in our nighties and in our bare
feet, down the chilly flight of steps
to that wonderful evergreen, happy
making tree. bearing on it's tastefully
decorated boughs multitudes of ever
welcome gifts.
The monkey crawls his pole at the
pull of the spring just as he did when
we pulled it in the far distant past;
the "old maid" still bears that
dreamy, wistful face that we re-
member so well, and in fact as we
wander through the dreamy for
they do produce dreams, but bustling
aN venues of the big stores in their
holiday array. we can find those same
little tokens that brought us so
much joy.
But while the old, old games and
toys are there. still new ones are
found, and most of those that are
different are of military nature
There are soldiers, quite dissimilar
to the ones that we had. and present
in far greater numbers than were
the old-fashioned ones; there are
guns and many other things that re-
mind us of the great conflict from
which America so recently and so
honorably escaped. Altogether, city
stores present a gala appearance.
