' Christmas shopping in Lon- don is exceeding all previous records. In some of the greal commercial es tablishments admission to stores of would-be purchasers has been regu- lated owing to the large crowds. The “victory” Christmas will be a rotable one because of the fact that the general holidays are to be on a more extensive scale than ever be- fore. A large number of war-tme restrictions have been removed and many of the food orders modified. All soldiers in England are to have twelve days leave of absence. The authorities are combining toward making this Christmas a memorable one, Interesting details have been com- piled regarding the Christmas goods displayed before the war and this year. In 1913 German and Austrian goods aggregated 55 per cent, French 800ds 15 per cent,, British 20 per cent. and goods of doubtful origin 10. This year British goods agsregate 70 per cent, French 20 per cent, American 5 per cent, and of doubtful origin 5 per cent., and of doubtful origin 5 per cent. The doubtful goods this year include relics of ol® stockg of Ger- man and Austrian manufacture. 300 MEMBERS OF TORONTO POLICE ARE ON STRIKE Toronto, Ont, Dec. 18.—The fhree hundred members of the Toronto po- lice force who went on strike early today in an attempt to enforce recog- nition of their union and reinstate- ment of thirteen members dismissed because of unioun activities, called a meeting late tonight to consider a suggestion made by the provincial at- torney general that they return to work immediately and submit . their demands to a court judge, whose rul- ing shall be final. The men are ex- pected to reach a decision early to- morrow, No disturbances have attended the strike, as was the case when the Montreal police walked out recently. The strikers asserted that they would sec to it that the city was protected while they are out. of others. There is some indication that con- siderable headway is being made in this direction and that the members of the America ion now are see- ing their way ¢ All express the conviction that delegations will enter the conference in a spirit of accom- modation, Some undercurrents are interpreted as showing indic ons of resret be- cause the accep! ce of President Wil- =on's points in general way pre- vented some nations from achieving thefr own objects which mizht have heen gained if Germany's coliapse had been made even more complete. In reply, it has been made plain to thoee with whom the president conférred that the Uniled Stites govarnment does not aensider the war a victory of arms alone, and that victory would o incomplete without an organiza- tion of nations to guarantee world | oace. PARISIANS CONTINVE THEIR CELEBRATING Paris, Tuesday, Dec. 17.—Although President Wilson has been in Paris four days now, the city refuses to cease celebrating. The crowd waiting outside the Murat mansion, where the president is re- siding, has not thinned out with the passage of the days. The president is continuing his daily routine and restricting all calls to those necessary to the transaction of offielal business. He is rapidly getting through with official exchanges and in- formal conferences. Now he is_pre- pared for the visits of Premier Lloyd George and A. J. Balfour, the British forelgn secretary, on Saturday. While the British premier's visit will be brief, .as he will only pass through Parls on his way to Monte Carlo, his talk with the president will give the American executive an_opportunity to establish personal touch with another of the entente statesmen with whom he is preparing to discuss the most intimate questions that are to come before the peace conference. The president’'s plans for visiting troops at the front are fully ma- He wil be away from Paris #t Jeast three days, leaving on Dec. 24 and going first to American head- ers to dine with the troops on mas day.

On Thursday Marshal Joffre will give a reception for the president at the marshal's home. On Friday the president will take luncheon with Stephen Pichon, the French foreign minister: The Sorbonne desires to confer the degree of doctor, honoris causa, upon the president.

Piper, Muske- gon insurance man, charged with the murder of Miss Frieda Weichman of Chicafo, was suddenly transferred to- day to Benton Harbor, Mich. Mrs, Hilda Carlson Piper, wife of the accused man, today admitted, ac- cording ‘to the Muskegon authorities, that Piper in 1903 married Miss Iva Goodenough at Benton Harbor and was divorced from her five years la- ter. Mrs. Piper ‘made thisadmission following receipt in Muskegon of 2 query from Benton Harbor as to whether Piper had not lived in_that city and wedded “Miss Marion Grey.” According to the information _from Benton Harbor, Miss Grey conducted a matrimonial bureau there. It is al- leged that Iva Goodenoizh and Mar- fon Grey are the same person. Although the _authorities e adopted an attitude of reticence, be- cause, they assert, early publicity in the cSge hampered their investization, it became known this afternoon that they are conducting a thorough vestigation of the Benton Harbor an- gle and look for early developments. Mrs. Jane Lively of Chicazo, a friend of Miss Weichmann, stated to- doy, the police say, that she and two other friends of Miss Weichman hade Piper and the girl goodbye in Chi cago when the couple left on their au- tomobile “honeymoon.” The authorities now declare they are convinced, from the evidence al- ready at hand, that Piper and Miss Weichman were marricd. Piper, on advice of his counsel, it is said, re- fused to go into further discussion of his case, although e representa- tives are spending ble time with him in h SENATE VOTES TO TAX PROFITS FROM CHILD LABOR ‘Washington, Dec. 18.—Adoption of a committee amendment imposing a 10 per cent tax on profits from chi cell.

NAVAL STRENGTH OF 217,000 MEN RECOMMENDED ‘Washington, Dec. 18.—Legislation authorizing increase of the permanent enlisted strength of the navy from 131,000 men to 217,000 was recommend- ed to the house naval affairs commit- tee today by Captain H.

GILLETTE TO ANNOUNCE CANDIDACY FOR SPEAKER (Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Washington, Dec, 18. — Gillette of Massachusetts will probably announce his candidacy for the speakership to- morrow, so, that it shall,immediately follow that made today by Mann Illinois. Gillette has a strong follow ators voted against! | Dick s Are of Paris, Dec. 18.—The American dele- gates to the peace congress have re- solved to advocate the sinking of the surrendered ememy warships and.re- sist any proposition to distribute them on the basis of naval losses. This an- nouncement is made by tfpse in close touch with the American representa- tives who, it is added, feel that such a position would result in avoiding contention and materially support President Wiison’s declaration that the war was not based on aggression or the acquisition of property. England, through Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, previously had acquiesced in the American plan to destroy the captured or surrendered warships, and, it is declared, will con- tinue to support the United Staies, although it is expected that some of the lesser naval powers will demand that the prizes be distributed. American naval stations will be maintained for at least a year at Brest, Gibraltar and in the Azores to render aid . to = American merchant ships.. The consent of France, England and Portugal already has been se- cured. The aero and radio stations at these points will be in readiness to respond to calls for‘aid by American shipping in distress, and facilities will be acordell for needed repairs and sup- Dlies. Although the plans have not been developed, it is believed in naval cir- cles that the shipping board desires the continuance of the manning of its ships with naval officers and crews until private capital is organized to undertake the great task of operating thousands of merchant vessels. The other naval establishments in Europe have' been ordered abandoned idly as possible, and progress in tion aiready has been con- siderable. WATERTOWN ARSENAL DISCHARGING EMPLOYES Boston, Dic 18—One thousand em- ployes were dismissed from the Wa- tertown arseral today and Brigadier General Tracy C.
