THE HOUSTON POST: SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY I, 1921.
OLD YEAR PASSES
HILARIOUSLY; NEW
IS GIVEN WELCOME
(Continued From I'ukp 1.)
-nd triple rows of cars in rnch direction
filled the three principal downtown
thoroughfares and the cross street*,
flaunting fu^soos in all the colors of the
rainbow, hurling torpedoes at the pave-
ments, at thr polished sides of other
cars, at the feet of pedestrians on the
sidewalks; shooting ltoinan candles and
making the air reverberate with bell and
whistle, with tin can and torn torn, with
Spartons and Klaxons and cut-outs.
Thousand* Throng Walks.
On the sidewalks as the whistles of the
factories boomed out their welcome to
the new day it was possible to progress
in one direction—with tin- crowd—so
dense was the mass. And every hand held
some noise maker or teaser; every
mouth was bent upon raucusnesa of some
sort. With it all there was a spirit of
tolerance, of good nattired give and tnke,
of healthy enjo-ment and good wishes
for the present and future.
At all ofthe downtown hotels and most
of the larger downtown cafes and res-
taurants "watch" parties had been ar-
ranged with reservations made well in
advance. ]>ances were in full swing be-
fore the midnight hour and were in
pror^ess at. U o'clock with little signs of
breaking up before dawn in most places.
Owl service had been arranged for all the
trolley lines to carry the merrymakers
home after the dances, but the milling of
automobiles to and fro in the center of
the city made trolley traffic well nigh
impossible and schedules were poorly
made arid trolley traffic slight during
the hours immediately following mid-
night.
Bright Sccncs at Cafes.
Cafes and restaurants presented scenes
of gayetv. For one night, Iloustonians
forgot tlieir troubles and sorrows and
gave vent to their joy in one grand and
glorious celebration.
The Midnight Frolic at the Majestic,
an annual affair, was one of the largest
celebrations. A packed house enjoyed
the welcome to the Xew Year by all of
the stage folks. The frolic began at 11
p. m. and lasted until the new year had
snfel.v arrived, Ushered in by thousands of
Iloustonians. The frolic was entirely
different from the regular performance,
and many took in both performances.
The first day of the Xew Year will
1 Af'nd Houston in Sunday attire. Virtually
Aevery mercantile establishment in the
sfeity will be closed . The city market, city
^/hall, court house. Federal building, Car-
negie library, the post office and other
places will be closed.
Festivities Planned Today.
The New Year's reception at the local
Young Men's Christian Association prom-
ises to be the largest annual event in the
history of the institution, if the present
plans of those in charge materialize.
The festivities will begin at >» p. m.
with a reception in the lobby by mem-
bers of the board of directors and the so-
cial committee. The lobby has been
decorated with holly, fir and pines. Dur-
ing the reception I>urkee's orchestra will
render a number of selections.
According to the usual custom of the
association s open house affairs, the
building* will be thrown open for inspec-
tion to the public. Several new features
in the building will be shown to the vis-
itors. such as the new business men's
health club, the enlarged educational de-
partment and the new locker system.
As one of the features of the day the
hojiiLjk part men t, under the direction of
W. i> lllnir. city boys' secretary, will
pre»etib lit 4:14(1 p. m. a beautiful and in-
structive * pageant dealing with the four-
«iuarc „development (mental, physical,
ri.'fijtr pnl and service) of a boy, and sct-
' f »Wh the results in world progress
wfflWF *tay be expected when boys have
the advantages of au all-round develop-
ment.
Play Will Be Given.
Tlje play called "The Promise of a
New Day" portrays the goal in all work
with boys—the balanced, all-round life.
Hoy Scout Troop No. 20, whose scout-
master is H. It. Gates, takes a very
active part in the play, and the Trinity
Church Choir boys add a very beautiful
touch with their Christmas carols.
In the evening the reception and in-
spection of the building will continue
(r«>m J:30 to 8:30 p. m. Following this
wtJl be a ball game between the Houston
fnanglef nnd the Central High school
^UB. During the entire time there will
be p'Bcri and food on tap, it was eaid
Friday night.
f * Open House at "Y. W."
Olpen house with an additional progrnm
ot entertainment will be observed by the
Y. W. ('. A. from to 7 p. tn. at their
recreation center on New Year's day.
Miss Mary Waldo will rend "The
Sweetmeat Game," which is a play to he
given in January by the Green Mask
I'layers and in which Miss Waldo will
.take the leading part. Miss Waldo has
„ several times previously delighted Hous-
ton people with her readings and her per-
formances with the Green Mask Players'
productions. At o'clock Mrs. Maleom
Perkins will sing and Miss Waldo will
give her reading.
The program will be given at intervals
during the afternoon. At 4 p. tn. Mrs.
Huberta Heed Nuiin and Glen Stables will
give solos, and at 0 Mrs.,J<\ M. Bybee will
sing.
K. of C. Observe Occasion.
The passing of the old year was fit-
tingly observed with an elaborate pro-
gram by the Knights of Columbus at their
home on Crawford street, commencing at
ft p. m. Friday und continued until Satur-
day morning.
Eighteen dances named in order of the
Knights who have served during the past
18 years were the principal features of
the program.
At midnight "noise paraphernalia'* of
every description were distributed among
those present at the meeting. Breakfast
was served «t 12::«l a. m. Saturday, fol-
lowed by vocal and instrumental rendi-
tions, which concluded the program.
Labor Unions Stage Celebration.
Local Inbor unions combined into n
Hlorious unit, staged a variety of cele-
brations at the Labor Temple, commenc-
ug at ft j). in. Friday and continued until
, he old year passed at midnight.
Dancing and card playing were the
yrincipal features of entertainment. The
celebration was given under the auspices
of the Woman's Labor circle.
Although they gave no intimation of
their intentions, prohibition sleuths will
perhaps be less active on New Year's day
than in days past, was the belief ex-
pressed by several persons Friday night.
That many cellars will he depleted of
their stock with the dawn of the New
Year was the firm conviction of detec-
tives Friday. No, the liquor will not be
seized. Jt will go the way it went in
years past..
The old year passed into the discard
with a bang at Central fire station. Mu-
sical entertainment and refreshments ga-
lore were furnished the fire fighters bv

GERMANS ELATED
OVER PROSPECT OF
PEACE WITH U. S.
Government Delegates t o
Brussels Conference Re-
turn With Fresh Hope
Associated Press Iteport.
BERLIN, Dec. 81.—The feature of
Germany's international relations which
is arousing keen interest on the opening
of the New Year is the prospective early
peace with the United States. Public
opinion views the coming of peace as one
of the few agreeable attcrmaths of the
war. This is partly because there was
never a pronounced feeling of hostility
to America. There also is the convic-
tion that the United States will not pre-
sent staggering bills for indemnities and
that commercial relations with the
United States will be resumed on a large
and generous seaie.
A spring influx of American tourists
also is one of the comfortable specula-
tions indulged in as a result of the re-
cent American and German shipping
agreements.
Growing Senso of Gravity.
Germany enters the new year with a
growing sense of the gravity of her posi-
tion under the treaty of Versailles and
of the immensity of the cost she is
called on to pay for a lost world war.
\nother prominent manifestation on the
opening of 11 >21 is the steady drift away
from political and economic radicalism,
so that no matter how the treaty is.mod-
ified or changed in the near future Ger-
many is resigned to her inevitable lot and
is necking to meet it by an intensification
of effort end of exploitation throughout
her tvide field of industrials and resour-
ces.
While the spectre of bolshevism con-
tinues to cast a sinister shadow across
the East Prussian frontier, German
prophets of the Russian communist are
finding dwindling favor among the rank
and file of the German proletariat. That
this is the actual condition in Geripany
today in the face of the fact that the
Moscow government succeeded in rein-
forcing itself at home is received as proof
of the familiar theory that given food
and stabili ed economic and political con-
ditions. the German working man can
not be won over to Utopian experiments.
Growiny Stability.
The growing stability recorded in Ger-
man political and economic activities is
chiefly au accomplishment of the past
six months. It is accounted for in the
active resumption of important pre-war
industries, reopening of former markets
overseas, nnd betterment, in the labor sit-
uation despite constantly mounting wage
scales and food prices which still leave
the ordinary but vital staples l>cyond the
reach of even the well paid workers.
Whether thes e beginnings toward an eco-
nomic revival in industries, finances and
exports can be maintained on a con-
stantly ascending scale during 1S>21 is a
matter of conjecture at least until Ger-
many is givey a precise and definite in-
terpretation of the financial and repara-
tion clauses of the treaty.
Germany enters the new year with a
national debt which will far exceed 200,-
000.000.000 marks by April 1. next. This
sum does not include amounts she is
called on to pay her own subjects in pri-
vate claims. They will add another hun-
dred billion to the above total. The
government admits a railway, postal and
telegraph deficit of 20.000.000.000 marks.
It is threatened with a huge increase in
the public pay roll. Its domestic budgets
generally have vacillated so freely in the
course of presentation to the reichstag
t hat they no longer offer a tangible basis
but merely an analytical computation.
Her "paper deluge" at the beginning of
the year is generally suspected of being
well in excess of eighty billions. Ger-
many is paying out billions monthly for
food purchases abroad and these will
continue well into the neaw year, owing
to the inadequacy of the last harvest.
Wheat thus bought is paid for in foreign
exchange.
Labyrinth of Deficits.
The labyrinth of deficits and billion-
mark expenditures is in a chaotic state
with revenues which are to a large ex-
tent on paper or are arbitrarily esti-
mated. The government's financial poli-
cies thus far have been wholly inade-
quate to cope with the confusion pre-
vailing in the nation's exchequer. None
of the measures in its expensive system
of taxation is operative and the fate of
the national emergency, sacrifice levy,
which is tantamount to confiscation of
capital and private fortunes, also is in
abeyance.
The-government's delegates to the re-
cent Brussels conference returned in a
happy frame of mind.
They carried home the impression that
the German plea for an early, business-
like adjustment of the reparations issue
had not been in vain; that the burden of
entertaining the army of occupation
would be ameliorated, the coal levy re-
duced and the gold reparations assess-
ment held down to such dimensions as
eventually to enable Germany to float
credits abroad. Germany hopes to ap-
pease the entente's demands in this di-
rection with coal, dyestuffs, pharmaceuti-
cal preparations, potash, etc., thus en-
abling her to keep her industries in. mo-
tion and incidentally stimulate exports
with a view to improving her battered
mark as a medium of payment.

Re-elected "President."
While making a second tour in behalf
of the "Irish republic" loans in October,
1919, he was notified of his re-election
as "president" of the Sinn Fein organi-
zation.
De Valera suddenly disappeared June
3. 1020, but a day or so later appeared in
Chicago where the republican national
convention was in progress, and urged
the introduction of an Irish plank in the
platform. Failing to gain recognition by
the republicans, he went to the demo-
cratic convention at San Francisco, but
his plank also was rejected there.
In August the "president" again
dropped out of sight, only to appear a
few days later in Washington and con-
tinued his speaking tour, denouncing
British rule in Ireland and supporting
the "republic" until early this mouth,
when he again disappeared.

Associated Press Report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—A complete j
sentence of 10 days iu jail was imposed
Friday on Major General Peter C. Har-
ris, adjutant general of tiie army, by Jus-
tice Siddons of the District supreme
court, for his refusal to produce certain
records in connection with the selective
service act, which were sought iu Ohio
divorce proceedings.
An appeal from the ruling of the court
that such records should Vie produced Was
immediately noted by counsel for General
Harris and the contempt sentence auto-
matically was suspended pending disposi-
tion of the appeal.
Prepared to Serve Sentence.
General Harris said he had his "field
equipment" ready and was prepared to
serve out the sentence if necessary, but
added that he did not expect to have to
go to jail. Justice Siddons, in entering the
order adjudging the general in contempt,
directed that should he decide to produce
the records sought before the expiration
of 10 days he was to be released. * The
suit is to make a test of the status of
draft records.
The records which Judge Siddons or-
dered the general to produce was an af-
fidavit made by Mrs. Mary II. Walsh, in
behalf of her husband, Henry II. Walsh,
before Walsh's local board. Walsh is
now suing his wife for divorce and his
counsel obtained an order for the pro-
duction of the affidavit in connection with
these proceedings.
Proaiiss of President.
General Harris contended that President
Wilson in the order promulgating the se-
lective service act promised that certain
information in connection with the ques-^
tionnaires would never be made public
and that among this information was the
physical condition of the men examined,
matters relating to dependents, and addi-
tional matter or affidavits that might be
filed.
In view of this, the general contended
that he wa,s stopped from making the in-
formation public not only by the law it-
self but also by the president's order,
which constituted a "moral promise" to
the wives and other relatives of men
called to service that information fur-
nished by them would be kept from the
public.
House Ends Old Year With
Discussion of Wilson Dam
Associated Press Report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—The old
year closed in the house Friday night
with a flood of talk on the ups and downs
of Muscle Shoals.
Working through to the eve of the
new year, discussing a $10,000,000 ap-
propriation for completion of the Wilson
dam. a part of the government's big war-
time riirate project, the house adjourned
with lines sharply drawn for a fresh fight
Monday and a determination on the part
of republicans opposing further aid even
in the face of a cry of sectionalism. All
day long the dam project was bitterly at-
tacked and warmly defended.
Associated Press Report.
TRIESTE, Dec. 31.—Gabriele DAn-
nunzio and his legionaries will leave
Finnic within five days, it was announced
here Friday night. •
Associated Press Report.
ROME, Dec. 31.—Italians base high
hopes in international policies for 192t
chiefly on the settlement of the Adriatic
question. The government, by its ener-
getic action against the D'Annunzio gov-
ernment at Fiume showed its earnest in-
tention to carry out the treaty of Ita-
pallo and thus remove any cause for sus-
picion against Italy. The nation hopes,
now that the treaty has cemented Italo-
Jugo-Slav friendship, that Italy will ac-
cept the invitation extended by the pre-
miers of Jugo-Slavia and Rumania to be-
come a kind of protectress of the "little
entente."
Adriatic Question Paramount.
Settlement of the Adriatic problem will
have an even greater influence on inter-
national conditions. It will enable Italy,
relieved from the incubus of any possible
situation, to settle down to the work of
reconstruction. Above all it will permit
the cutting down of military expenses,
which'are now burdening the budget to
t he extent of 10.000.000.000 lire annually.
This will automatically reduce the
amount of paper currency in circulation
approximately 20,000,000.000 lire and de-
crease the deficit of 180,000,000,000. In
all branches of industry a gradual even-
ing up is evident, and it is believed pro-
duction will be augmented, which will re-
sult in increasing exports and decreasing
imports. This would go a long way to-
ward correcting the exchange situation,
one of the chief causes of the high cost
of living and the present unrest in the
world of labor.
The labor situation appears very hope-
ful. as reports from all provinces show a
great majority of the working men are
apparently anxious to settle down tcf
steady employment.
The faint possibility of a revolution
has dispelled the gradual awakening of
the constitutionalists, who are burying
hate iu order to fight the common foe—
Maximalist socialism and communism.
BOY'S CONDITION UNCHANGED.
The condition of Fred Hoiak, 12-year-
ohl son of Steve Iloiak of Rosenberg,
who suffered a fractured skull when
kicked by a horse Wednesday afternoon,
remains unchanged. Hospital attendants
say now that he has a chance to re-
cover.
JAMES M. YARBROUGH FUNERAL.

brough. who died in a local hospital as
