LONDON. Dec. 25. -Christmas of 1914
will long be remembered In Great Bri
tain as a military Christmas. Every
where throughout the Island men In
khaki and In blue were the object of at
tention and admiration.
There was a great decrease In the cus
tomary railway crowds of civilians visit
ing their homes for family reunions, but
almost the usual number of trains was
running.
The cars were filled with soldiers and
ratlors taking a brief leave to visit their
families and all were ' travelling on
paeses. Many thousands of volunteers
from the training camps and a consider
able contingent from the continent and
the fleet had two or three days for a
holiday at their homes, and the whole
country seemed to swarm with uniforms.
Canadians Are Prominent.
London particularly was full of soldiers.
Conspicuous among them were several
thousand Canadians from Salisbury
plains. Christmas in London is Sabbath
like because all the theaters are closed
and the hotels and public bouses keep
Sunday hours. The few hours of day
light, however, were almost bright, which
is a rare phenomenon in an English
winter,, and the soldiers and aallprs ap
peared to find amusement In tramping
the streets and the parks from the fash
ionable West End to the suburbs.
Family parties taking an afternoon
stroll generally had a youth in khaki or
blue as the central object escorted by
admiring relatives. Dinner in the big
hotels was notable for the presence of
the military, and an unusual feature was
the presence of men in non-commissioned
uniforms, who have even been mingling
with officer.
Loaded with Gifta.
All ranks of the troops at the front
and in the home camps were loaded down
with presents. Princess Mary's fun i tot
Christmas gifts amounted to nearly
fsoO.OOo. while there were numerous funds
for tobacco, pudding and other luxu
ries raised by newspapers and societies.
Kven the German military prisoners
nd civilians in the concentration camps
Had Christmas trees and gifts from home
and from wealthy Germans in England.
The (Jerman Young Men's Christian asso
ciation and the English Quakers devoted
special care to the prisoners.
Hundreds of British and Belgian
wounded In the hospitals were the re
cipients of many attentions. Three
thousand Belgian refugees In the Earls
Court exhibition buildings were given
Christmas dinner and at night a huge
Christmas tree was presented to them by
Lord Salisbury. Twenty-five hundred
of them in Alexandra palace had a sim
ilar celebration.
Theater Pantoratnea.
Tomorrow, known In England as box
'ng day aees the beginning of pantomimes
at several large theaters. Borne of the
show houses are giving free matinees
Tor soldiers and sailors.
A special committee formed to watch
conditions of distress in London has re
ported that there is less pauperism and
unemployment In the city than on any
Christmas in thirty years. This is duo
to the large enlistment In the army, many
-f the workers making room for the un
employed. Nevertheless, the general atmosphere
was one of sadness rather than that of
hilarity. Economy was the watchword
f the day. Christinas trees come from
Germany and mistletoe comes from
France, hence there was a notable scar
city of both. Christmas turkeys had
slightly Increased in prices, but fruit was
cheaper than usual owing to the smaller
continental demand.
Kins; Sends Mnuif,
King George and Queen Mary sent mes
sages and sent Christmas cards with
their portraits to every soldier and sailor.
Attendance at the churches was notably
large. Dean Inge, at St. Paul's, spoke
of the Anglo-American peace centenary.
Referring to the Canadian-American
boundary, he said.
"For a hundred years America and
Canada have been iit peace. A true
peace not watching and snarling at each
other like two lllbred dogs. That is
something to thank God for on Christ
mas day. There are millions in Europe
h look to America as a land of hope
and I think they are Justified In doing
so. One cannot spend a week In America
without feeling that hope and freedom
give buoyancy to life there such as we
rarely e at home,"

PETROQRAD (via London), Pee. 25.
Russlan successes are reported officially
from the battle front before Warsaw and
from that around Cracow, but without
materially changing the situation. Espe
cially vicious attacks have been marto by
the Germans between Pinezow, forty
miles northeast of Cracow, and Nowem
iasto Korczyn at the Junction of the Nlda
and Vistula rivers.
In this place the Austrian Imitated the
tactics of the Germans and tried to force
a passage by sheer weight and numbers.
They advanced repeatedly In solid form
ation against the Russian front in the
face of a heavy artillery fire. The net
result after two days' fighting December
22and 21 was the. capture by the Rus
sians of nearly 5,000 prisoners, including
half a hundred officers and the reten
tion by the Russians of the left bank of
the Nlda, where they are strongly en
trenched. To the north the Russians are holding
their own and are Inflicting severe pun
ishment on the Germans. A series of
energetic attacks at Dollmow, just south
of Sochactew (thirty miles from .War
saw), are reported to have been repulsed
on the night of the 23d by vigorous Rus
sian counter attacks, while forty miles
further south at Anovolonz a successful
crossing of the Ptllcia river was turned
Into a German reverse by savage attacks
by Siberian troops, who forced tho ln
vailers back sgain.

Wherever possible the roofs have been
cut out, so that bonfires may be safely

Coroner's Jury So Finds as Result
of Inquest.
MAY HAVE BEEN SUICIDE
Wltneeaca Tctlfj- that I'lrcmnn'a
Position I nder Locomotive Must
Have, Been Taken by II Im
Intentionally.
The Jury empanelled by Coroner Cutler
to Inquire Into tho death of Edward Den
nett, the Northwestern locomotive fire
man who was crushed to death under the
wheels of nn englno In tho Northwestern
roundhouse In Council Bluffs, Tuesday
night, decided that he met his death "In
a mysterious manner," and that It was
due to no fault or negligence of the rail
road company or eny of Its employes.
The Inquiry was of a thorough character
and lasted several hours yesterday.
The testimony of half a dozen witnesses
was taken, but no one was able to throw
any light upen the cause of the accident
except George Johnson, the eiiKlneer for
whom Dennett had been firing during
his run from Norfcik, Neb., to Council
Bluffs. Mr. Johnson's knowledge of the
affair Indicated that death had been pre
meditated and was due to mental de
pression, brought about by a mlsunderr
standing with a young woman to whom
Dennett had been attentive for a long
time. Engineer Johrson said Dennett had
told him they had quarrelled. He said
the young man had been very despondent
and had refused to eat any supper after
he came in from his run Tuesday after
noon. Although very downcast he had
made no threat of self-destruction.
