Your speakers, going from community to community, meeting people in the friendly spirit engendered by years of intimate and understanding contact, have been of fective messengers for the delivery and interpretation of democracy's mean ing and imperative needs. The work that the Chautauqua is doing has not lost importance because of war, but rather has gained new opportunities for service.

day and said that he felt sure that the
people after they lea realized what
this community singing meant in their
lives. would fill the auditorium to the
last scat every Sunday.
Yesterday afternoon was largely de-
voted to singing old time Christmas
carols and Mr.. Spooner lead the sing
ing In such an admirable way that the
audience could not help but sing to
the best of its ability. Everybody
entered heartily into the spirit of the
afternoon and furthermore, everyone
enjoyed the singing. Besides the
Christmas carols. several popular
songs were rendered M the afternoon
was concluded with the "Marsellaise"
and the Star Spangled Banner"

would be on Sunday afternoon, De-
cember 20. and the War Camp Com
munity Service hopes that many peo-

LONDON. Dec. 2S-W1Iliam Ho-
henzollern has arranged for himself a
Christmas celebration after the tradi-
tional German style. as far as the cir
cumstances will permit, according to a
dispatch to the Daily Express from
Amsterdam today.
The arrangements, by the ex-em-
peror's insistence, will include the
elaborate religious ceremonies on
Christmas eve. The idea of using the
village chapel for these. however, has
been found impractical for various
reasons. one OF them being the fear
OF popular hostile demonstrations. A

chapel. y

mony, but the Berlin government has
refused permission for the chaplain

Herr Hohenzollern will deliver the
sermon himself.
Many friends of Count Won Ben

been asked to attend the service, the
message adds, but have refused the
invitation. The former rulers audi
ence therefore will consist of Count
Won Bentinck and his family. the eN.
emperor's suite and servants of cas-
tie.
Xmas trees will be provided as U.S.

family custom, Herr Hohenzollern will
do the carving himself. There will al
