entertained the members of her
bridge club and a number of addi-
tional friends with bridge and BOO.

tables for the game were arranged
In the spacious living room.
At each table the guests were
asked to cut for a souvenir, those
for the bridge players being beauti-
ful Jardenlerres containing blooming
polnsettlaa. These were won by
Mesdames J. M. Mathls, R. E. Nich-
olson, Henry Hughes, and Henry
Mueller. At the 509 table the hand-
some nut bowl filled with nuts was
captured by Miss Minnie Hammer-
smith of Houston.
The delicious repast served on the
card tables consisted of roast turkey,
dressing, cranberry Jelly, creamed
potatoes, peas, pickles, celery, cheese
balls, hot biscuits, coffee, salted al-
monds and stuffed dates.

(By Carl D. Groat, United Press
Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, Dec. 29.—Peace
promises to be the transcendent
theme of the state department the
coming year. In sharp contrast to the
almost warful moments of some
months last year.
Intermittent peace talk took defi-
nite form in the last weeks of De-
cember, after Germany had proposed
peace to the Allies. From now on,
air tignt aenaiuuu
' and then Insist upon adherence to
them.
Prospects of peace though still un-
doubtedly some months distant will
probably affect future dealings with
Germany, and even more strongly in-
1 fluence the administration idea of
| avoiding a break with Germany.
Germany's deportation of Belgians ;
provoked a protest from this govern- j
inent, but her answer gave but little ,
[satisfaction. The administration
plans to watch this situation closely.!
German transgressions have in-
volved American lives. In these
|
circumstances, the general view has i
been that the caBes required quick, j
strong protest.
On the other hand, England's of-i
%
It will be the enormous subject be-
fore the state department in view of;
the fact that this government seems
destined to play a big part in what
ever peace negotiations are under-
taken. *
Yet while peace talk passes back
and forth between the chancellories,
of Europe and in the granite halls
and maghoganf d chambers of the |
American state department, other In-
ternational matters of gravo mo-1
ment, must be settled. These ques-'
tlons, serious at times almost to the
point of ruptured relations, are di-
rect heirlooms of the war, affect
America as a neutral and are des-
tined to have their standing when In-
ternational law is rewritten after the
war.
In addition to possible complica-
fenses have Involved American com- j
merclal rights, not lives. Those j
!have been the subject of objections

ficulties which American diplomacy is
seeking to smooth out, at the same
tlnio protecting adequately and hon-
orably the rights of America and
Americans.
These issues are:
Submarine problemsm between Oor

German deportation of Belgians.
English interference with malls.
English blacklisting of American

English embargoes affecting Amer-
ica.
Germany's submarine warfare
came to a head insofar as the Unit-

government last March gained a
statement that Qe^many had affected

Mexico has been a sore spot In j
diplomacy the past year.
Conditions became such that;
American troops were sent into Mex-
ico, and militia to the border, follow-
ing Villa's raid on Columbus. The
State department found many intri-
cate problems with Carranza. Final-
ly it brought him up short with a
recital of outrages against Ameri-
cans and t heir property, and a defi-
nite demand to know what he was
going to do hereafter.
The Americans aim in Mexico is
rehabilitation and peace without
arms. But the problem before the
Mexican-American Commission is
si III grave and enormous. Villa
again is making trouble, though Car- ;
ran7.a in recent months has shown a
disposition and some ability to alter
dreadful conditions.

*
For a time, Germany seemed to be
scrupulously following her promises.
In the last four months, however,
there has been a feeling that she
was going as tar as she could with-
out provoking new troubles with the
United States. In these circum-
stances, the state department inves-
tigated during the closing days of
the year a series of sinkings, nota-
bly the Marina, Arabia, Chemung,
and a dosen others. Evidence indi-
cated Germany was overstepping at
least the spirit of her pledges, and
the United States proceeded to jplau
for her next step.
"Crises" have been numerous. The
state department, however, In ac-
cordance with administration princi-
ples has sought to settle matters
through diplomacy, rather than
through a break In relations. In-
deed. this government did threaten
to break after the Sussex torpedoing,
if Germany broke her pledges, but
since then the spirit has been to
home in Houston Thursday.
