 Eight Allied Nations were represented at the surrender: United States, United Kingdom Russia Australia, Canada, France, Netherlands and New Zealand.
 General Douglas MacArthur Supreme Allied Commander, signed for the United States, declar- ing: Tt IS my earnest hope and indeed the hope of all mankind that from this solemn occasion bet ter world shall emerge out of the blood and car mage of the past
 Foreign Minister Mamoru Shgemitsu signed for Japan. If the moment was bitter for the sixty-three old cOnqueror of Manchukuo and leader of the ex- peditonary forces in North China, his unscrutable face and correct manners did not betray it.

Soldiers, Sailors, Marines Spend Christmas df
 Sea or Abroad

WASHINGTON, uec. 24.-About 3,200,000 coldiers, sailors and Ma rines will spent this first peacetime Christmas either at sea or in foreign lands.
 The Army and Navy counted noses today and came up with this esti- mate. But they added that. even so, this should be a particularly Merry Christmas for the armed ser vices because:
 1. As you may have heard, the wars over.
 2. Celebrations can be carried on without worrying what the enemy is up to.
 B. Even though 3,200000 are far away, that's a numerical improve ment over last year.
 Last Christmas there were 4,933,- 682 soldiers overseas compared with the 2 2,1OO,000 who are there now A year ago 1,750,00o sailors and Ma rines were at sea or overseas. This figure has been cut to 100000.

 Meanwhile, it was reliably report ed that Russia had not been let in on any secrets about the atomic bomb, although the foreign ministers were said to have discussed the United States British Canadian pol icy on world control of atomic en- ergy.
 An atmosphere of optimism con- tinued to prevail today as the con- ference went into it's ninth day. The three ministers twice displayed their cordially publicly last night, at tfe Bolshoi theatre by arising and clasping hands above their heads.

OUTDOOR DECORATIONS
 MISSING THIS YEAR

Motoring over the snoW-coyered streets last night and getting their sights through whirling snow. En- pire staffmen found that outdoor lighting is not as elaborate as in former years but indoor lighting is better. One outdoor tree appears at the home of Mrs. Olav Lillegraven, 326 West Eighth, two on the Sixth Street porch of Dr. w. M. Whitehead and one on the marquee of the Baranof Hotel.
 AS usual, Hugh Wade had string of colored lights strung along the Basin highway at his home.
 Windows give the Christmas cheer with lighted wreaths, candles, stars trees, etc.
 By tonight many other decorations may appear, both outdoors and in- doors.

Then he was to start the long journey by air back to Fort Logan, Colo., where he was to be released from the Army. He said he expected to reach Emporia, Kan, in time to eat Christmas dinner at home, the first time since l940.
 Col Riegle writes. s'I have had an interesting Is months in the Pacific. First as Civil Affairs of- ficer in Dutch Guinea and in the Philippines at Leyte, Cebu and Manila; then as Military Govern ment officer in Yokohama. Re- ceived my promotion to Colonel, the Bronze Star medal for work on Leyte, and was awarded the Mili- tary Medal of Merit by the Philip pine Government. I am coming back to Juneau one of these days, for that is home to me, the same as Emporia."
