To make the children's party at
Christmas time a brilliant success Is
not at all difficult. All they need Is
room to play In. games and pastimes
planned ahead to fill up the time. some
one to supervise them and Christmas
goodies to eat. This last item In the
program Of the Christmas party means
q great deal to them. but they are cas-
lily pleased.
The old fashioned games, blind
mans buff" "drop the handkerchief"
hide and seek" have unfailing charms
for the youngsters, but they will not
play at one game long. A "hshing
pond pleases them and is easy to
manage. A lot of toys and trinkets
are wrapped In paper and tied up,
sufficient number to provide some
thing for every child. Before the par
ty these are piled. up In some convep-
lent corner and a curtain of some kind
hung across the corner to hide them.
Fishing poles with lines having
crooked pin at the end are made ready
and each child casts his line over the
top of the curtain. Someone In charge
of this part of the entertainment
fastens a little parcel to the bent pin
for each child and someone else sees
to IT that each little guest gets one
chance at the pond

All United States Soldiers Ex-
pected to Be on Way Home

ONLY $4,000 REMAIN

Square Accounts and Then Last
Of Yanks Will Sail for
Home.

Paris, Oct. 18.-The actual number
OF American troops now in France is
less than $4,000 and is rapidly dimin-
fishing, General w. D. Conner, COM
manding the American troops in
France said. Within a month, he
stated, virtually all the soldiers will
be gone as the task Of repatriating the
German prisoners is now completed.
Only four or five Germans now remain
under the charge of the American
forces, and these are i'll in hospitals.
The work Of, completing the liquida-
ton OF army supplies, squaring &C.
counts, and the policing of American
peace conference headquarters are not
the only tasks OBTAINING the soldiers
and officers in France.
General Conner said he expected
that this liquidation work too will be
terminated within one month. All
American supplies are already the
property of the French government
and are merely being used by the
Americans until their task is COM
Ipleted.
Army officials still are working on
the settlement of about 1000 small
claims arising from automobile acct
dents and damage by fire to houses in
which Americans were billeted.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 16.-After

tho official order calling on all union
bltuminous coal miners in the United
States to cease coal production at
midnight, October 81 John L. Lewis,
acting president of the United Mine
Works of America, left for Washing
ton to attend a conference called by
Secretary of Labor Wilson, with
Thomas T. Brewster, president of the
Coal Operators association.
Mr.. Lewis said the only thing that
could prevent strike of the 100000
miners November l would be the
reaching of an agreement between the
miners and operators representatives
before that date. Even if that should
result from the Washington confer.
ence, he said, the agreement would
not be binding until it had been acted
upon by the miners at a reconvened
convention. The signing of an agree
ment by the representatives of the op.
orators and miners before November
l, it was said;;~ however, would mean
the countermanding of the strike or
der issued, at least until the conven.
ton acted upon the contract.
