(CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
Berlin. Dec. 27—-''Give us peace
and take away unfair sanctions and
oppressions. Give ns a chance to
work and live, then Germany will
•ave her finances and pay re par a
ttons accordingly." The above is a
part of the Christmas message of
Chancellor Marx. A Germany in
Which order reians is the strongest
aorurity for France and a much
■troece.r security than military
treaties and agreements and anna
ii'enta." In the beginning of the,
i*iof&»a:;e the chancellor was very ;
bitter. “Christmas expresses our \
longing for peace more than any-1
thing else. This is easy t-> under
stand since Germany is a country in
the center of Europe, surrounded by i
envious neighbors who often fight ■
their quarrels on German soil, tear- |
lug up the country."
"What we have gone through in j
the last year is nothing but a con- j
tin nation of war. which has been I
practiced upon a defenseless and dis- •
armed nation, such as ours, in the
middle of official, but unexisting i
peace. Contrary to the provisions j
of the Versailles Treaty. German soil j
is occupied by foreigners, and loyal I
Germans must spend Christmas in
foreign jails because they refused to
go against their own country.”

CHRISTMAS WITH IWIP
Berlin. Dec. 27—Christmas was ;
celebrated with special pomp by the j
H oh en roller ns. who. with the Crown j
Trince recently back from exile, en-,
joyed the first real Christmas since |
the war. At the Castle of Oels all
th^ brothers and the Crown Prince
gathered and took part in special j
Church service in the Castle’s chapel. j
which was decorated under the i
Crown Prince’s supervision. The
Crown Princess, like a true haus
frau. baked a ,'honeycake” with her
own hands, as tradition required
the Hohenzollern Princess to bake
such a cake. The Monarchistic in
former of the Tribune says this
year's “honeycake” was a great suc
cess. It is a sort of spiced cake,
made according to the genuinely
century-old Hohe-nzollern recipe. '
end everyone who spent Christmas i
Eve in the house of Hohenzollern. !
must have a piece of this cake. The !
Crown Princess must also prepare j
plates of apples, nuts, and choco
lates for every guest in the house.
The Crown Prince did an enormous
amount of Christmas shopping, ac
cording to the dealers of quaint
shops in the village of Oels, which
were not only for the family but for
•he servants and the needy families
to Oels. The Crown Prince request
ed the Mayor of Oels to give him a
complete list of all the names of the
families who were in need. The
Crown Prince selected a Christmas j
dies only, since tradition prohibits j
the use of gold and silver trimmings j
All the children of the Crown Prince j
have been in Oels for the past week
assisting to prepare the first Christ- j
mas with their father since the war. '

gallons of mash were seized. Sev

Reas (black, glacier, cinnamoni,
wolf, wolverine, squirrel, marmot,
(whistler) 9nowshoe and Arctic
Hare, are unprotected.
Three changes are noteworthy in
FIRST—The fox season has been
advanced to December 1st and ex
tended to March Slat. This Is to
prevent the groat influx of unprime
skins into the hands of the traders
during the early days of the open
season. We estimate that the mon
ey value of the fox catch can be
increased more than 10% by giv
ing the animals 15 days more to
mature before trapping.
The advisability of prescribing
different open seasons for white fox
and red fox was discussed, but the
habits and ranges of the two species
are too closely associated to allow
SECOND—The change in the
muskrat season is radical and. we
believe, efficacious.
The long midwinter season is not
wanted either by trappers or trad
ers. It leads to a destruction of
houses and runawavs that would
certainly exterminate the rat if long
continued. The forty days open
season at the breakup gives the
hunteT a chance td select and shoot
the finest rats at a time when their
pelage has reached its highest
point of excellence.
THIRD—The season is closed ot
Beaver. The trapper forced this
issue upon himself by a wholesale
destruction of beaver houses during
the two years open season granted.
