The message will go forward through American, Swiss and Spanish diplomatic agents fm Paris, and ite text will be made public from Paris, There was one report in London to-day that the pub- Ue might be informed of the contents of the note this afternoon, Not only do the allies clearly ect forth the principles for which the Entente nations are fighting but sive) @ general outline of the terms on which England and her allies are Willing to negotiate. The belief that the note would list terms to be demanded of Germany was expected as « result of an awak- ening within the last few days in Engiand that the German propaganda in neutral nations must be effectively answered. Press and public alike united to- Gay in the belief that the best possi- ble answer would be a comprehen- sive reaffirmation of the allies’ alms and a statement of what the allics regard as necessary concessions from their enemies as a basis for even con- sidering talk of peace. Germany‘s ro- ply to the American fhote failed to meet the principal request of Presi- dent Wilson's appeal for a listing of possible peace terms, In England much significance in connection with Germany's plea for peace was seen in Gen. Sir Douglas Haig’s review of the Somme battle, The British commander tn chief sum- marized the result of that fighting with the statement: “The Somme battle has placed be- yond a doubt the ability of the allies to gain those objects”—referring to objects for which the allies are fight- ing.

LONDON, Dec. 30.--Gen, Baron von Bissing, Governor General of Belgium, who is lying seriously ill with pneu- monia at Brussels, says the Exchange Telegraph Company's Amaterdam correspondent, has received a sym- pathetic message from Emperor Will- jam. The correspondent quotes the Emperor's message as follows: “You have used a strong hand and led tho country in a farsighted man- ner. You have seen that the popula- tion has been kept quiet and orderly and always favored German in- terests, as was your duty. For your fidelity and successful accomplish- ment of duty in a difficult and re- sponsible position I beg to thank you." The probability of Governor Gen- eral von Bissing’s retirement because of ill health is being widely discussed in German circles in Brussels, the correspondent adds. COMPOSER STRAUSS DEAD.

Then they waited until she descended from the platform. The police cleared a pathway to Mad- ison Avenue for her and her little party, The kiddies broke through the line and the pathway was a choked garden of struggling, pushing, panting, youthful humanity. They crowded in on Cousin Eleanor, crowd- ing her party to one aide, to all side They hugged her and kissed her; they grasped her by the hand, by both hands; they caught her by the arms in childish, delirious embrace; they clutched at her coat, her skirt, They kissed the clothes that she wore, It was Just 4.80 o'clock to the min- ute, the time advertised, that Os- kenonton, a real American Indian Prince, sounded his tribal call, The Prince was in the costume of a chief- tain of his tribe, with his head-feath- | ers and beads, his leggings and moc- casing, with a@ richly garnished Dlanket about his shoulders, just as if he had stepped out of his wigwam to welcome the kiddi And the eyes of the kiddies popped at sight of a real Indian, but they were soothed next moment at the sound of his sweet, sonorous voice. Then came Santa Claus, whose name in his own country is Robert Stuart Pigott. He came from the land of ice and snow and you could have heard bis sleigh bells, if the kiddies hadn't been making so much noise when they caught sight of Cousin Eleanor, He read Cousin Eleanor’s letter to the kiddies, as fol- lows: Dear Kiddie Cousins: To ace alt your smiling faces before me makes me feet as if the hanpy Yuletide heavens have come down to touch the earth; and each pair of bright eves seems like twin Bethlehem stars, It 4s ninet hundred and twenty-two vears since the Bethlehem star shone its brightest, for it ig that long since, beneath its radiance, Jeaus lay a wee babe in His mother's arms. To-day, while looking down from on Mah, He ts pleased with you children, and your parents, gathered under the bright star that graces the crest of this huge tree. And the tree its very self is vlad; all the more for having waited and watched for you, through two dave of rainy weather. Daya when its tear atained eves were dim and sad, because your kiddie votces were not lifted to it, in the tones of the moat beautiful of Christmas carols, “Holy Night, Peace- ful Night.” We will sing to it now, and watch its eves oladden and shine out, one by One, in joy and vleasure at wour song. COUSIN ELEANOR, “BANDSMEN” OF FOUR BANDS WERE KIDDIES Too, Then the New York Catuollc Pro- tectory Band and the band of Punile Benool No. 21, led by M. J. Ryan, di- rector of both, played "Holy Night, Peaceful Night.” The boys of the bands were about the samoe size as most of the kiddles, and that fact led an additional zest to the enjoyment of Cousin Kleanor's cousins, Night was just closing in, the lights in the Dig Dulldings about the park flashing out like ten thousind stars, and the electric stars on the Christmas tree becoming more briliignt. The kiddies were enthralled, And if they only knew the story about that beautiful tree, which gives cheer each year to the lotterers on the park benches and pleasure to thousands and thousands of obildren in the big City of New York! Its ally | a ) with ~ prac in bis di origin is as deep a mystery as the identity of Santa Claus, The big city doesn’t provide that tree, kiddtes, T people who do won't tell who they are, because they say that would spoil it all, But they are big hearted and kind and generous souls, who love little kiddies and who love to do nice things for them in a great, big way. AND THE WHOLE THING MOVED LIKE CLOCKWORK, Little Janethel and Joseph Mon- ahan gave @ Charlie Chaplin skit, “In the Park.” And, kiddies, didn’t you just want to hug that pretty, dainty, sweet little kiddie Janethei? and wasn’t Joseph the cutest Charile Chaplin you ever saw? And wasn't 4 the greatest fun ever when St. hy's Band from Rockaway Park layed for them to dance, and you all swung to the rhythm of the music id couldn't stop dancing? The best part of it all was that there ‘wasn't @ hitch in the programme; that nobody disappointed Cousin Eleanor. ‘They all came as they promised, ani {if performances in the theatres all went as smothly as Cousin Hleanor’s did, everybody would want to go to the theatre. St. George's battalion of boys, with their fife and drum and bugle corps, just looked bully and they played bully too; played the old songs of the| South, and made the kiddies weep and sing and shout. Then Miss Harrie Fumade whistled like a bird, and $.

That was the end. But the lights of the beautiful, mysterious tree still shone brightly; the bands went down different lanes in the park to attract the crowd and carry it away. But the kiddie crowd was waiting for Cousin Eleanor and when she and her sister, Miss Alice Schoerer—wasn't she darling, kiddies?—Santa Claus and the rest, reached the pathway, the Kiddie Club rush was on and the po- lice were helpless. It was the cutest crush they had ever been called upon to handle, and none of them had ever qualified as a nurse. Cousin Eleanor was followed, the poor police doing the best they could at the hands of the kiddie mob, untél she found refuge in Dr, Park- hurst’s church across the way, Then kiddies, your cousin cried, Yes, she did--erled with Joy because you loved her so. Then she laugbed with the| delight you gave her. It made her| glad that you showed such apprecta. tion for the Kiddie Klub corner and for your afternoon under the “Tree of Light.” And The Evening World ts glad, too, with Cousin Eleanor, that you Kiddies so enjoyed its Kiddie Klub Christmas celebration, The World enjoys doing things f York's kiddies who are not big enough to help themselves.
