MANY PROMIN APPEARED AT GRi Washington, Dec, ll-'Peace and preparedness ad vocales' alike came in .for a laking fire of Jest at the Win ter dinner of the Gridiron club to night.

President Wilson, Vice President Marshall, members of the.cabinet, sen ators, representatives and mon promi nent in nubile life from many parts of ?the couutry were among the club's guests. The chorus of the song in troducing the Pr?sidait follows: . We take our stand back of you. Mr. . . Wilson, Strength to your arm wo give; You're the- leader of all, We Tespond to your call, Wo will steift} firm with you for the red, white.-and blue.' . No party or faction divides us in ;. twain We're just plain Americans, proud of the name;. . _ Let tho world realizo Naught cai?, sever our t'63?

'Elaborate camps, with modern sewage systems, have been construct ed, and a beginnlug has been made in establishing workshops where idle* ness can be turned into industry. In time all the interned aliens may be brought here. ?There aro almost 4, 000 at Alexandra Palace in London still. There are no longer any in terned at Primley, near Aldershot. ' TliJere are still many thousands of Gorman:', and Austrians who have not boen interned and all have a chance of appearing before a tribunal established for tho purpose of decid ing whether internment is desirable.

It never by any chance stays at home. You can harvest it for the com mon good, but you cannot store it for your sole individual use, You can lend it but you cannot borrow it, you can earn it but you cannot buy it, you) can spend it but you cannot ac cumulate it. A man must contribute to the stock of human joys before he can participate in its profits. To seek happiness without: giving it is a futile quest* and all our longings for what we have not learned to ?ive to others are as empty bottles in the wine cellar of the soul.
