Great Britain, not content with a
mere pre-war Christmas. tomorrow

Business is to be suspended for
three days. The curtailment Of
communication was the nearest ap-

graph was unknown, the cable was

papers were not necessarily bear

With NO interest in what trans
pires in the rest Of the world in
the next three days, Great Britain
was supposed to settle into an old
fashioned Yuletide. with blazing
logs and warming drinks to aid the
merriment.
Transportation by rail, steamer
and truck was ordered confined to
the most necessary business. No
mail will be delivered and tele-
grams will be distributed only at
certain hours. Newspapers will be
idle Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Reports of Irish difficulties, COM
plications in France and the near
east. Unemployment and all other
troubles confronting the govern
ment will cease for those three
days to worry the ordinary citizen.
All trains leaving the city were
packed to capacity today. Guests
were leaving for weekend parties
in all sections of England. Those
at home shattered their Office and
shop windows and planned celebra-
ton in London.
But good cheer did not re!gy
alone. A half million unemployed

TAFT'S ADVICE
REQUESTS Counsel Of Ex.President
on World Peaee and Practical
Administration Details

Marion, Ohio. Dec. "a. Presi-
dent-eIect Harding turned to for
mer President Taft today for c0un-
sci on the world peace problem and
on practical details of organising
the next administration.
The conference was arranged at
MIR. Harding's request and is un-
derstood to have concerned partic-
ularly the proposal for a new in
ternational court, in which the for
mer president has been interested
for many years. Mr.. Taft was a
supporter of the Versailles league
but has taken the attitude that
some different agency now must
be organized to stabilize world con-
ditions.
Another subject on which the
president-elect wanted information
and advice was the proposed re-or-
ganization of the executive branch
of the government. In the closing
days of his administration, Mr.
Taft made a study of that problem
and appointed an efficiency com
mission to undertake the work oil
reorganization.
The coming of Mr.. Taft revived
speculation about his possible ap-
pointment of some high post un'
der the coming administration. Hi
has been mentioned frequentl,
for a place on the supreme cour1
bench, but his name also has beer
heard many times in cabinet COS.
