the English coast.
One man, a Londoner, named
George Allen, survives out of crew
of twenty men. Allen, who was car

Postmaster General |
Meyer Orders All Mis-
SiVeS Saved.

Letters addressed to Santa Claus
will no longer go to the dead letter of

For several years past the Postofice
Department has received numerous re-
quests from philanthropic societies and
individuals, just before the holiday sea
son, that such misslves be turned over
TO them Until this year the department
has always denied these requests. on
the ground that correspondence OF. i'm
portsnce might be classed with the
Santa Claus letters through error: that
1t would be exposing to private parties
secret correspondence; that the letters
might contain valuable Enclosures. e-i
that such practice would violate the
principle OF the sanctity OF the nails

Won l. Meyer, has, however adopted a
more liberal attitude toward the thou

Hereafter, and until January ]. 1905,
postmasters are directed TO deliver all
letters arriving at their respective most
offices addressed plainly and unmis-
takably TO Santa Claus without any
other terms or expressions identifying
the person or persons for whom such
letters are intended, to any regularly
organized charitable society IN the city
or town OF address, to be used exclu-
sively for philanthropic purposes. In
the event that claim should be made
by more than one such society for let
