New York to Provide Real Xmas

t For Snlitiprs and Snilnrs, in Citv

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Dec. 20 "Christmas md nowhere ff go," will be deleted from the conversation of many thousand soldiers and snilurs on l'ave in New York and other large cities strangers In a strange land as the result of an elaborate, country-wide program of entertainment arranged for the opening of the yuletide season by the war camp community service. Spending a su mthat will run Into several hundred thousand dollars the organization will provide dinners, theatre parties, dances and gifts for men within its reach who cannot get home for the holidays, endeavoring, so far as possible, to bring home to them. In New York, hub of the army de barkation system and recreation center for all branches of the service In the eastern territory, it Is estimated that fifty thousand men from all sec tlons of the country will be on leave Christmas day, and almost as many New Year's, while others will have liberty during the intervening week. Accordingly the war camp community sen ice has prepared an almost continuous round of entertainment from Christmas eve to New Y'ear's night, and In co-operation with the war and havy department efforts will be made to assure every khaki or blue clad lad not otherwise provided for a share In the festivities. . Christmas dinners are the first concern cf the organization and no less than thirty thousand have been arranged, ten thousand of them in homes. In all the war camp canteens and clubs holiday feasts will be i spread and. more than fifty hotels and restaurants have volunteered to serve men who cannot be accommodated elsewhere. The theatrical entertainment will cfnter in 10,00 tickets for Broadway shows, 'to be distributed with preference for the wounded, among soldiers, sailors, and marine officers and men. Additional features will be motion picture performances on the mornings of December 25 and 24, when a wound stripe will give admission to a Broadway playhouse; an all day Christmas program at a new theater to be operated exclusively for men in the service; an officers' theater party on Chriftmas night and entertainments throughout the holidays for bed-ridden wounded in the army and navy hospital. . Dancea and parties with thousands of girls ns hostesses, Christmas tree festivals, and a "meet your home folks" reception at the Hotel Plaza, the later on Christmas afternoon, will

round out the week's gaities, while for men confined to stations within the war camp's local territory and also for sailors aboard ship, leaving this port and which will be at sea on Christmas day, the organization has provided gift packages. Programs similar to that In New York have been worked out whereever the war Camp service operates. Throughout the country the war camp community service aims, according to its directors here, not only to provide holiday cheer for men in the service, but to foster a spirit of cooperation and companionship between communities and the soldiers and sailors who are within their gates.

ASKS U. S. AID FOR ARMENIAN PEOPLE

(By Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 20. Viscount Bryce. former British ambassador ti the United Stares, who for years has taken an active interest in the Armenian question, said to the Associated Press yesterday: "English friends of America trust that American public opinion recognizing the sufferings long endured by the Armenian people, its fidelity to the Christian faith and the splendid services rendered by its soldiers In the war, will heartily support Armenia's claim to complete deliverance from Turkish rule and its own national Independence. By it's industry, intelligence and education, Armenia is well fitted for freedom ad capable of restoring prosperity to its ancient home. We hope that American opinion will also favorably consider the suggestion that America should render temporary aid to the establishment of order in and the development of Armenia."
