Plenty Of Candy Is
Assured U. S. Army
For Its Christmas

COBLENZ, Dec 23.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press 1.-The arms of Santa
Claus reaching across the Atlantic and
France to beyond the Rhine have
brought large quantities Of sweets and
various luXurics and holiday gifts for
the first Christmas in Germany of the
American army Of occupation.
Christmas packages for the soldiers
began to arrive several days ago IN
carload lots and are being distributed
rapidly from the rail heads to the
occupation. The quartermaster's de-
partment and the American Red Cross
has provided thirty carloads of choco-
late and stick candy. The quartermas-
ter also is providing four cars Of
pastry and material for pies and cakes.
Every officers mess and every COM
pany of soldiers is to have a Christ
mas tree. The Y NJ. C. A. is supply
ing the decorations.
Branches of the Knights Of Colum-
bus will present the soldiers with ex-
ira smokes, in addition to individual
gifts and plenty Of candy and chew
ing gum.
The arrangements provide for the
distribution of the packages sent to
the soldiers from home early in the
day, while the afternoon and evening
are to be devoted to entertainments.
On the gastronomic side the men
promise to be very we'll provided for.
While no turkey or cranberries viii be
served at the Christmas dinner, the
troops will have goose, ducks and
chickens a-plenty, as well as roast pig
and fish. A genera! order prohibits
the Americans from buying meats or
fats from the Germans, but by sys-
tenn of trading soap, as we'll as choco
late and other foodstutfs, the prospect
appears good of securing sufficient ma
tive products to vary agreeably the
army meat diet.
Doughnuts for Doughboys.
The Salvation Army has begun the
baking of doughnuts at its various
quarters, and b. Christmas it hopes to
have hundreds Of thousands on hand
a. least three doughnuts for every
soldier. This organization is also to
provide gifts Of various kinds.
The Germans throughout the occu-
pied area are preparing for an exten-
sive celebration of their own They
seem determined to have a good time
and are buying extra supplies for their
Christmas dinners
The German weather forecast for
Christmas is cloudy, and probably

An official count Of the ships in the

ouri, Maine, Wisconsin, Alabama, H.

line. In addition we're the repair ship
Vestal, the destroyer repair ship

Below them are destroyers almost
without number. The destroyers still
wear their camouhage Practically all
of the bigger ships, however, have been
given their normal coats of gray.
Another result Of yesterdays wire
less conferences was the announcement
that the land parade of Thursday after

moro than 10000 men, instead of the
$4,000 originally announced Under an
un'vrtten law of the navy half of the
crews Of the vessels now in the harbor
must remain with their ships at all
times. About 4.500 men Of the ships in
the harbor are now on shore leave
The returning Atlantic fleet carries
with it 5000 officers and men. OF that
number half will be sent ashore to
march in the parade

All Plan for Elections.


BERLIN, Dec. % Cry The Associ-
ated Press. THE bourgeois parties in
Germany are striving to erect solid
front against the Majority Socialists
Assembly. The elections are only four
weeks away, and the former Right and
Centre parties are still much disorgan-
ized
The Socialists have an intact party
organization and have o strategic ad-
vantage because they are now in vir-
tual control of the government. An
added factor is that the Ebert Haase
government has been strengthened in
It's position by the action of the recent
revolutionary congress, which not only
wdened the jurisdiction of the Cabinet,
but placed at its disposal a serviceable
central committee of Soldiers and
Workmen's councils. This has been
interpreted as marking the defeat of
the ultra radical tendencies cham
The prov isional government will use
the time before the elections in restor-
ing order and allevlating economic con-
ditons.
AS the Majority Socialists are vir-
tually in command of the central gov
eminent and dominate the local gov
ernments throughout Germany, they
probably will enter the election fight
as solid majority irrespective of the
future action of the Independent So
ciaists or the Spartacus group.
Friedrich Naumann, q Progressive
leader, writing in the "Tageblatt." re-
calls that the position of the Majority
Socialists is similar to that of the Ma
Empire was founded He estimates
that the radicals, who polled So per
cent of all the votes in 1912, may be
able to increase that to so per cent, in
view of the current political transition
&c the Left.
Herr Naumann says that the prob
lem is most serious and can be solved
Only if the German democracy takes
united action on behalf of advanced
liberalism. He adds:
The Socialist flood continues to rise,
but with it rises our fear of the dev-
astation of German economic and po-
Atical life. A sound republican democ-
racy is our only salvation"
Meeting Place Not Fixed.
The National Assembly will be called
to order ten days after the elections,
which will be held January 10. This
period will be used in collecting the
vote and arranging technical details
The session will continue eight weeks.
Cities which are urging that the Ma
tional Assembly meet there are Frank
fort, Cassel, Erfurt, Bayreuth, Weimar
and Nuremberg. Berlin is likely to be
overlooked, as the progress of the con-
gress held last week convinced the out
