day, but the Service Was
Excellent.

The high tide Of Christmas post cards be-
gan to ebb at the city post-office yesterday,
The volume Of mail in the Christmas rush
was so great that the post cards were SET
aside the better TO let the letters and
Christmas packages be promptly deliv.
cred. The post cards ran into the mil.
Hons, and many thousands were set aside
to be delivered after the rush was over.
Yesterday work began on the post
cards, as a result OF which many thou
sands were delivered The thousands OF
cards stored in the once were assorted
and the majority OF them taken out by
the carriers with the regular mail.
The holiday mail, according to state
ment issued yesterday by Postmaster
General Hitchcock. was heavier this sea-
son than ever before. Reports made to
Mr.. Hitchcock by the various divisions
CT the Railway Mail Service during the
rush period indicated that the work of
handling the mail during the Christmas
season was performed with less conges-
ton and confusion than In former years.
The same Is true OF the Washington city
post-ofiice. Weather conditions caused
slight interruptions in several instances.
but the work was completely under con-
troll OF the officials at all times.
A larger force than usual was put on
this year TO handle the Christmas mail in
order that the capacity of the service
could be tested in anticipation Of the es-
tablishment of the parcel post system,
which becomes operative January ]. The
reports made to Mr.. Hitchcock yesterday
showed that all holiday mail was deliv-
cred early Christmas day and conditions
were generally normal throughout the en-
tire service on Christmas night.

January" the chairman said, but l

'bulldOzing' proposition, that appears
to have arisen from a misquotation OF

that is closed incident. Eustis is
