T ONDON, Dec. 31.-Evidence
II that the war is ended came
again tonight in the London cele-
bration of the passing of the old
year.
The traditional gathering Of
Scotsmen before St. Paul's Cathe-
dral took place with wassail and
native songs. For the last four
years the sadness of war precluded
this celebration, but to-night's old
custom was renewed with enthu-
siasm.
The streets surrounding ST.
Paul's were filled with Scotsmen
before midnight. They sang "Auld
Lane Syne" and exchanged greet
ings, while chimes, silent since the
outbreak of the war, rang in the
new year.

His talks with Lloyd George, Mr.

Nothing but praise mas been heard
everywhere regarding the personalities

Mr. Wilson's goodfeilowship, geniahty

Farors Raise Of Pay

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Secretary
Daniels. in appearing to-day before the
House Naval Committee to explain the
navy's needs as regards personnel until
permanent establishment can be de-
the peace conference, urged that here
after naval officers be promoted on
merit
The Secretary 'ecommended an
amendment that would withdraw all
application Of seniority in making pro
motions and also suggested that OIL
GERS i'm each grade be permitted to
select men for promotion to successive
grades instead Of continuing the pres
cnt system Of having all selections
made by a single board.
Increased pay for the men of the
navy also was recommended by Mr..
Daniels, who asked the committee to
write into the new naval bill a pro-
vision making permanent the wartime
pay increases of from Sc to SIS for
enlisted men. This would make the
pay range from $36 to SOL month.
The Secretary also asked that one
months pay be given navy men as a
gratulty when they are discharged
from the service.
Wants Temporary Increases
In explaining TO the committee that
the department would not now ask for
any increase in the permanent enlisted
strength OF the navy, Secretary Dan
iels said temporary increase should be
authorized to include 10000 temporary
regulars and $4,000 of the reserves for
operating transports, as a total of
100000 men would be needed for naval
ships and Transports
To have the 1000 additional officers
necessary for the permanent establish
ments by July, 1920, Mr. Daniels said
it was proposed to transfer 1000 re
serve officers to the regular establish
ment, to rank as ens gns and lieuten-
ants. These with AGO cnsigps from the
Naval Academy next June and 600 in
June, 1920, would make up the needed
