NOTONGHOLIDAY

LEAVES!(Special In Tbe Itntca.)

WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 30.—There will be no general Chriat-mas furlough for the boys at CampLewis and the other cantonments.

Parents and soldiers should ad-just their Christmas plans on thisbasis.

A story, the source of whichthe war department has been uli-able to locate, has been widely |circulated to the effect that thecamps would be virtually vacatedduring the holidays.

The story said that both officersand men would be given generalfurlough over Christmas week.

It is believed thle story Is partof deliberate pro-German propa-ganda, circulated to boost hopesof both soldier boys and their re-latives and friends, with the ideathat discontent and dissatisfactionwould follow when it developedthere would be no Christmas fur-lough.

The war department will gothe limit In attempting to makethe Christmas holidays a brightperiod in training camp life.

Transportation is in Itself a bar-rier to any general furlough plan.

Then to attempt a generalc-'hrisitiiwis furlough would disruptthe entire schedule of training andof movements of troops to Francefor at least two weeks, at a timewhen every day is valuable.

Commanders, however, 'willhave authority to grant the great-est possible freedom to the menduring the hoillday period to en-toy entertainments and Christmasfestivities that may be offered bythe nearby communities.
