Report Out That Country Has
Declared War Against HOl-

Be No Surprise

Washington, D. c., Dec. Some
thing of furry was caused in di-
plomatic circles today over the report
which generally obtained that Ven
eznela had declared war against Hol-
land. These reports had their foun-
sdation in the despatch which came to
the state department by way of Bo-
gotta from Caracas, saying that the
,governemnt had declared state of
war. 1t was soon pointed out, how
ever, that this announcement was
based on Vice President Gomez dec
laration that the country is in state
of defense because OF Hollands s act

IT Was ABUSED
No More Letters Addressed
to Santa Claus Will Be
Given Charitable Organi-
zati0ns by Their Request

a + H h'5 b h
Washington, D. c.. Dec. 17.-Post-
master General Myer today announe-
led that he would not renew hs order
issued December 10, 1907, permitting
the delivery to charitable organiza-
ton of letters addressed to Santa
Claus" af
Numerous complaints have been
made to the postmaster general by
lmany charitable organizations that,
owing to the large number of such
letters taken by the various chari-
ties while the order was in force, it
was not possible to investigate each
case, and that the presents given out
fell into the hands of unworthy per-
sons. The practice also was objected
to on the ground that it tended to
make beggars of children.
The postmaster general has direct
/; ed postmasters to treat the Santa
Claus letters in accordance with
those sections of the postal laws
which provide that letters bearing
fictitious addresses shall be sent to
the division Of dead letters unless the
addresses of the senders appear upon
the envelopes, in which case the let
ters will be returned to such address.
It is estimated that more than fifty
thousand letters are addressed by the
| children of the country to Santa
Claus annually. T.
