It was to have begun in Ghent on Christmas Ehre with a banquet tendered by the Bur gomaster .to 50 representatives of thc United States. 50 Englishmen and 50 Canadians in the hall where the treaty was signed. This plan . ls upset by the fact the ancient Belgian city now ls occupied by the Germans, with whom England is at war. To mark the day. tho American and British committees, which bad been arranging for the peace cente nary, issued communications for sim ultaneous publication Thursday morn ing in the newspapers in England and the United States.
