WILL DEMOBILIZE !
PART OF SWISS ARMY:
i
Correspondent Says 250000 Men'
Will Be Relieved.
Minister of State of Laxemberg Re-
cently Proposed Approach to
France and Germany to Pro-
pose Peace Negotiations.
(Associated Press Report.)
PARIS. December 23. 4:20 a. m. The
Swiss rovernment has decided to order
a partial demobilization according to
the Petit Parisien's Berne correspondent
who says L'50000 men will be released
gradually from duty.
M Eyschen. minister of state of Lux-
emburg according to the Berne corre-
spondent of the Petit Parisien. recently
invited the Swiss federal council to offer
to mediate between France and Uerniany
with the view of opening peace negotia-
tions. H. Eyschen previously made a
similar proposal to The Hague but his
overtures met no encouragement from
the Dutch government.
The principal argument advanced by
the Luxemburg minister of Btate was
that neither side actually "having any
advantage. It was a gool time to talk
of peace. Later on. he declared when
the scale of the war turned to one side
or the other it would he too late to sug-
gest negotiations to the nation intoxi-
cated by what might be considered a
certainty of early triumph.
JAPANESE DIET REJECTED
ARMY INCREASE MEASURE
Emperor Then Dissolve Body Pend-
ing Elections to Be Held Next
March in Nation.
(Associated Press Report.)
TOKIO IVcember 25. Owing to the
rejection of the measure for an increase
in the army the emperor today dissolved
the Imperial diet thus upholding the
program of the ministry for military de
velopment. When the decision was an-
nounced there was a great commotion in
the house and cheers from the govern-
ment side
The premier. Count Okuma scored the
opposition for "impeding the national
welfare " Failing to find a flaw In the
policy of Foreign Minister Kat- retjfrding
China he said they centered thfir at-
tack on the army. He denied that the
proposals meant the expansion of the
army and militarism.
The army measure wa rejected by a
majority of 65. but the house approved
the naval increase by a majority cf
seven.
The rescript suspends the house of
peers pending the election which prob-
ably will be held In March.
Considerable opposition developed In
the house of representatives to the
budget for 1915. which showed an esti-
mated expenditure of 554.000.000 yen
C$278. OOO.oOtii and a decrease of the reve-
nues of ItO.r.oO.OOCi Itecent dispatches
from Toklo have stated that there was
good reason to believe- that unless the
house-idopted the budget it would he dis-
solved by the empenir. The Merchants
tssoi iation and Huron Shibusawa presi-
dent of the American-Japanese associa-
tion and Huei N.ikano. president of the
Tokio chamber of commerce took steps
a few days ago to urge tlie diet and cab-
inet to reach a compromise In the hope
of preventing dissolution of the house or
collapse of the ministry. They urged
that a crisis in time or war would create
an unfavorable Impression abroad. The
opposition leaders declared that plans for
increases in the army would be rejected.
The house of representatives rejected
the army expansion measure proposed by
the government. This led to the dissolu-
tion of the house.

FAMILY REUNIONS
IN ENGLAND BROKEN
Christmas 1914 Will Be Remem-
bered is War Christmas.
Civilians Gave Way to Men in Uni-
form and All Banks of Troops
Were Loaded With
Presents.
(Associated Prtu Report.)
LOXIX1N December 25 2:45 p. m.
Christmas of 194 will long be remem-
bered in Gret llrltain as a military
Christmas. There was a great decrease
in the customary railway crowd of civil-
ians visiting their homes for family re-
unions but almost the usual number of
trains were running filled with soldiers
and sailors on a brief leave to visit their
families and traveling on passes. Many
thousands of volunteers from the train-
ing camps and a considerable contingent
from the continent and the fleet had two
or three days for a holiday at their
homes.
London was full of soldiers. Conspicu-
ous among them were several thousand
Canadians from Salisbury plaliiB. Family
parties taking an afternoon stroll gener
ally had with them youth in khaki or
blue escorted by admiring relatives.
Dinners in the bie hotels were notable
for the presence of enlisted men in uni-
form privates mingling with offieefs.
SOLDIERS WERE
LOADED WITH PRESENTS.
All ranks of the troops at the front
and in the home camps were loaded down
with presents. Princess Mary's fund for
Christmas gifts amounted to nearly
1800.000. while there were numerous
funds for tobacco puddings and other
luxuries raised by newspapers and socie-
ties. The German military prisoners nnd
German civilians in concentration camps
had Christmas trees and gifts from home
and from wealthy Germans in Kngland.
The German Young Men's Christian As-
sociation and the Knglish Quakers de-
voted special care to the prisoners.
Hundreds of British and Belgian
wounded and refugees were the recip-
ients of many attentions
A special committee formed to watch
conditions of distress in London had re-
ported that there is less pauperism and
unemployment In the city than on any
Christmas in 10 years. This is due to
the large enlistment in the army.
GENERAL ATMOSPHERE
WAS WITHOUT HILARITY.
. The general atmosphere however was
one of sadness rather than hilarity.
Economy was the watchword of the day.
Christmas trees come from Germany and
mi.itetoe comes from France hence
there was a notable scarcity of botn.
Christmas turkeys had a slightly In-
creased price but fruit was cheaper than
usual owing to the smaller continental
demand.
King George and Queen Mary sent mes-
sages to the army and to the fleet and
Christmas cards bearing their portraits
to every soldier and sailor.
Attendance at the churches was nota-
bly large. Dean Inge at St. Paul's spoke
of the Anglo-American peace centenary.
Referring to the Canadian-American
boundary he said:
THANKED SOD FOR
ANGLO-SAXON PEACE.
For a hundred years America and
Canada have heen at peace. A true
peace not watching and snarling at
each other ilke two ill-bred dogs. That
is something to thank God for on Christ-
mas day. There are millions In Europe
who look to America as a land of hope
and 1 think they are justified in doing so.
"Orie can not spend a week in America
without feeling that hope and freedom
give buoyancy to life there such aa we
rarelv see at home."
The dean thought his American cousins
failed to achieve a type Of Christianity
that Christ would approve.
"Competitive Industrialism " he said
"has not fulfilled Its promise. The plea
that business is business may cover al-
most as much cruelty and Injustice as
may the maxim that all la fair In war.' "

BERLIN (via London) December 25
11:05 p. m. The crown prince has Issued
the following address to his troops in
the field:
"The celebration of Christmas In
France in closest contact with the ene-
my. Is a celebration none of us la likely
to forget. I wish for all members of my
brave army the blessing of God JntU we
have with the good luck of a dutiful

ble token to my loyal companions In arms
be a souvenir of our common Christmas
celebration in Germany's greatest idays."
The Norddautsche Zeltung today issued
a warning against using gram to feed
animals especially rye which Is needed
for bread stuffs. It says the empire's
food supply must be carefully husbanded
to guard against a possible shortage
which would force upon people a diffi
cult proDlem.
Professors of economy In Berlin unl
verslty Issued a similar warning a few
days ago. They drew attention to the
nutritious qualities of potato meal and
nrtvised a greater consumption of milk
products and pork. They suggested llm
iting the consumption of beef and pointed
out these expedients were necessary to
frustrate Kngland s plan of starving Uer
many into submission.
WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ANY
CREDENTIAL TO BELGIUM
German Officials in Charge of Por
tion of Country Said to Have
Issued Orders.
(Ai'ocittti Press Pitporl.t
WASHINGTON. December 25. er
many has notified some of the neutral
countries having consuls in Belgian ter
ritory now under German military au
thorlty that the exequaturs crediting the
consuls to Belgium will not he recog
nized further though provisional recogni
tlon will be granted to those whose coun
tries so desire.
Representatives of South American re
publics have Informed Secretary Bryan
of the receipt of such notice from Oer-
many but state department officials to-
night said they knew of no communica-
tion on this subject being received here.
It is believed In diplomatic circles how
ever that the notice Is on Its way to all
powers whose consuls would be affected.
The attitude to be assumed by the
American republics toward this action Is
expected to be considered by the Pan-
American commission composed or sec-
retary Bryan and eight other members
of the governing board of the Fan-Amer
ican union recently named to study
questions relating to maintenance of
neutrality In this hemisphere. Diplomats
say the subject is one of exceeding dell
racy and one In regard to which the
American countries probably would desire
to act In unity.
It became known tonight that all the
members of the Pan-American ommls-
sion already have been apprised of the
German notification. A sperlal commit-
tee of three members it was raid might
be selected to give preliminary study to
the matter and report to the full com
mission.
In the meantime constant cable com
munication between the ambassadors
and ministers here and their governments
will be maintained.
