COBLENZ, Sunday, December 22 j (by the Associated Press).?The arms 1 of Santa Claus. reaching across the ! Atlantic and France to beyond the ! Rhine, have brought large quantities ! of sweets and various luxuries and j holiday gifts for the first Christmas I in Germany of the American army of j occupation. Christmas packages for I the soldiers began to arrive soveral i days ago in carload lots and are being j distributed rapidly from the railheads ' to the eight divisions within the area i of occupation. The quartermaster's j department and the American Red i Cross have provided a thirty-carload j stock of chocolate and stick candy. ; The quartermaster also is providing four cars of pastry and material for pies and cakes. ! Every officers' mess and every company of soldiers is to have a Christ- : mas tree. Many of the trees were cut : by the soldiers themselves. K. of C. Furnishes Smokes. The T. M. C.

On the gastronomic side the men ' promise to be very well provided for. While no turkeys or cranberries will be served at the Christmas dinner, the troops will have goose, ducks and chickens a-plenty, as well as roast pig and fish.

OVERSEAS BATTLE FLEET TO LEAD PEACE REVIEW Will Arrive in New York Just in Time Thursday?Smaller Craft Delayed.

Owing to delay by storms of the destroyers and smaller craft in the overseas fleet, it was said, only 6,000 officers and men, two-thirds of the complement of Rear Admiral Rodman's and Rear Admiral Rodgers' battleship squadrons, will march in the parade. , This will start immediately after the naval review, probably shortly after noon, and upon its conclusion shore leaves, affecting in rotation every officer and man aboard the returning vessels, will be put into effect. Will Join Home Fleet. Awaiting the overseas units which j they will join in the great procession i up the harbor, 4,200 of the 15,000 men aboard the West Atlantic fleet. Vice Admiral Grant's guardians of home waters, are enjoying leaves at their homes near New York or "liberty" for a few hours in the metropolis. This fleet, including eleven battleships and seven destroyers, with attendant craft, and comprising the bulk of the naval force which operated throughout the war from Chesapeake bay, boasts not only the protection of the American coast, but the training of 35,000 men for the battle convoy and patrol units as its share In the conflict. Though composed largely of ships of the "old Navy," including three i hat saw service in the SpanishAmerican war. Vice Admiral Grant's squadron will be headed by the nation's newest dreadnaught. the electrically driven New Mexico, which came into port yesterday^fter a cruise undertaken to establish 'statistics for her type of prupulsion. On these records, naval officers said, would be based the recommendations of the department regarding future construction along this line. The Mississippi, sister of the New Mexico, though equipped with oil-burning engines, also will be in the line with Uie home fleet.

A I Chri j T? have holid; wee: seaso i It i will t Most ever Set ' v ITALY TO TAKE OVER MUCH AUSTRIAN SHIPPING Tonnage to Be Used Chiefly for Belief Work?Allies and U. 8. to Get German Vessels. PARIS, December 22 (by the Associated Press).?-Italy will act as trustee of 600,000 tons of Austrian snipping now in Italian ports ana distribute It for use exclusively for war supply and transportation, none to be used for commercial traffic. This agreement was rea'ched today at a meeting of the allied maritime council. Four admirals, representing the United States, Great Britain, France and Italy, whose flagships are in Italian waters, will take immediate charge of the disposition of tne shipping under the direction of the council The council decided that its new flag would be hoisted for the first time on Austrian merchantmen In the Adriatic beside the Italian flag. Dr. Silvio Crespi, minister of food, discussing the action of the council, said: "The new flag consists of three horizontal stripes, with top and bottom white and center hiue. This tonnage in the Adriatic will be used chiefly for reiief work. There are also a hundred thousand tons of Austrian merchant ships in Spanish ports, which will be treated likthose in the Adriatic. Iialf of these ships will probably be intrusted to Spain and half to Italy, provis.onally, the idea being that t.ie countries in whose territorial waters the merchantmen are, or those in closest proximity, shall act as trustees for the entente. "Thirty thousand more tons of Austrian merchantmen in the Black sea will also be taken over by Italy, while an additional -30,000 tons in various northern European ports will be divided between England and France. "The same rule Is to be applied to 2,500,000 tons of German merchantmen spreading throughout the world. All these enemy merchantmen will ultimately be divided between the allied powers and the United States in a ratio which will be decided by the peace conference."

I ' LONDON. December 23.'?'Vlscoun i Grey, former secretary of state fo foreign affairs, has written, at the re quest of the research committee o he League of Nations Union, an In troductory note to a pamphlet en titled, "The Peace Conference am After." After urging the great op portunlty afforded by the peace con ference for taking a practical ste: in the direction of forming a leagu nf r?o Unna Vienniint firnv eavR* "It is not necessary for the peac conference to create a league of na tions. The conference will in itsel be a vital beginning of such a leagu< All that is absolutely necessary 1 that It should not commit suicide but keep itself alive by adjournini and leaving a permanent organiza tion, instead of dissolving itself an destroying its machinery. "This is not all that is desirable but it is all that is essential. A be ginning that has in it vitality an power of growth is better than more complete and more attractiv creation that has no life. One is living thing, while the other is piece of furniture. Two Points Emphasized. "Two more points I would especi ally commend to careful and sympa thetic attention. One is the possibilit of applying the principle of trus tecship to those vast tracts, especi ally Africa, where no independen national government of the native in habitants can be formed. "The other is emphasis on the earn est advocacy of the part to be takei by the United States in helping b give effect to this principle of trus teeship and in the council of th world. Without the United State any council or league of nations wil soon be little better than the old con cert of Europe which was spoiled in j variably by intrigues within it am split into opposing groups. "It has required the united effort of the allies and the United States t win the war of right against wron and to make peace. It will need th united and continuous, althoug! peaceful, action of all of them t maintain peace. Opposes TJ. S. Isolation. "It would be as fatal to the futur of the world for the United States t relapse into the old idea of stric isolation as it would be for an power to revive the German policy o separate conquest and domination. I is, I believe, in this spirit and for thi purpose that the people of this coun try desire close and cordial relation with the United States. We think th JJCUpiC \J M. lilQ L.1HLUU a.?c VV7U scious of the great and beneficent in fluence they exercised on the histor of the -world by the part they took i this war.
