ily reunions will be held in the city and
old friends will meet and recount pleas-
ant memopies of the past.

the wind and cold. Committees are
busy today looking after the decoration
of the tree, a beautiful evergreen it-
self, and others are completing arrange-
ments for .the visit of Santa Claus with
something for every child in Denton

LONDON, Dec. 23.—The Neue Freie,
'rem; of Vienna, says an Amst^*dam |
dispatch today, says Wilson’s note will
have the effect of causing the question
of peace to remain in the foreground
for some time, adding that the entente
allie* will be obliged to discuss a rea-
sonable basis for ending the war apd
that the desirwfor peace in the entente
countries will be further strengthened.
LONDON, Dec. 123.—The American
note to the belligerents is the dominat-
ing feature of today’s news in Great

organisation of the country for war
purposes.

to the German peace proposal Is at- I

It says the reply sets forth clearly 1
both “the grievances of the allies and I
the crushing responsibilities of the Gen-1
tral Empires.”
LONDON, Dec. 23.—The entente will
reply to the German peace proposals
before replying to that of President
approaching Jiminez jWlleon. AH discussions in official cir-
to participate in this cles emphasize the point that the en-
tente s policy with the war will not be
altered by the President's note, which!
is received with general dissatisfaction 1
by the Rritisk public. It is expected
that the enteine Bations will reply si-
multaneously and similarly to the note
and that the reply will not go forward
before probably two weeks.

come was accorded announcement re-j
