Boys in Blue and Khaki Add Joy to Celebration of Christmas

It is going to be a real "Merry Christinas" this year. With the lads in blue and khaki pouring in to spend Christmas day at home, and the knowledge that those other lads overseas are keeping a victorious watch on the Rhine, there is a general spirit of happiness and cheer -that has not been known for many years. Prosperity marks the holiday season this year. Business has been better than ever before, merohants say, and the demobilization of troops has served to stimulate industry rather than retard it, as was feared. Everybody seems to have plenty of money and is spending freely. Every institution in and around Richmond will have a Christmas celebration of some kind with perhaps the

exception of the city jail. If there are.

any Jail inmates this year they may get a Christmas present of dismissal. That is what they got last year and if the charges are not too heavy this year they may receive the same gift.

Every basket will contain a roast or chicken with everything that goes with It. There will be enough provisions to last the family a week. On Thursday the poor children of the city are all Invited to the Christmas tree celebration which the Salvation "Army will hold at its rooms on Sixth street A tree will be the center of attraction. There will be candy and fruit and everything to make the kiddles happy.

Individuals have taken families and provided them with clothing gifts and food. Restaurants will serve special turkey dinner.

BREAK BERLIN GRIP ON VLADIVOSTOK

VLADIVOSTOK, Dec. 24. How communication between Berlin and Vladivostok was broken In the last month or so has been revealed. Through mail, telegraphic, and other channels Germany was kept in contact with its numerous propagandists In eastern Siberia, but the connection was broken by the post and wire censorship established by the new allied intelligence board here. Certain Russians had become deceived by the enemy propagandists and were aiding the Germans in trying to foment confusion among the allied nationals and representatives in Vladivostok. Their game was to tell the British certain stories concerning the Japanese and Americans to cause British resentment. The result was, according to American visitors to Vladivostok, that the allied representaelves' seemed to chase each other in a circle. Now all has changed. The Intelligence board has conducted the registration of sixty aliens and is expected soon to brint; about the arrests of several hundred unregistered ones. The Americans are doing good work

May the Joys of This Christmas be greater than ever and may 1919 prove to be a year of prosperity and happiness for you, is the wish of The Dafler -Moser Co.
