And Christmas is Not So Very
Merry There on Account
of the War.

LONDON, Dec. 25, 9:39 p. m.-
The people of London spent Christ
mas in a depressing atmosphere OF
fog and rain, The city was filled
with soldiers, many thousands of
mud-stained veterans from the
trenches having received a short holi-
day leave.
The last OF these men on furlough
arrived at the London terminal as
late as midday. having been delay
ed by a, rough passage across the
channel which left many OF them
still pale and miserable when they
reached London.
Great Charity.
The great number of charitable
institutions celebrated the. day with
tremendous energy. There was am-
pie provision for lonesome soldiers,
both home and colonial, for the
wounded, for prisoners and interned
aliens and for the wives and families
of the men at the front The hospi-
tails were bright. with flowers and
gifts. while visitors literally over
ran the already crowded wards, each
patient being allowed two or three
visitors at a time. Carol singers
and entertainers OF various types pro
yided amusement at the hospitals

FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS IN POUCH TAKEN
While in Transit in a Covered
Wagon from Railway Sta
ton to Postoffice.
DRIVERS ARE ARRESTED
Police Theory is Drivers Give
Robbers Ample Timeto Open
Pouch and Take a Pick.


WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. 25.-Four
hundred thousand dollars In stock GER
tifcates were stolen from registered
mail pouch here late last night while
In transit in one horse covered wag-
on from the Wilmington postoffice to
the Pennsylvania railroad station. The
bag contained stock certificates Of the
Dupont, Hercules and Atlas Powder
companies, General Motors Company
and railroad companies to the value Of
s750,0O0. but s350,000 of the securities
were subsequently found hidden in
the vehicle.
Albert Johnson and Earl johnson,
negroes, the drivers of the wagon,
were arrested today. They are not
related. The men are believed, accord
ing to the police, to be the
Tools of the Real Robbers.
The securities were enroute to New
York. Some of the stock belongs to
the Dupont Company and the remand
er is the property of brokers in New
York. The postal inspectors will not
divulge the names of the brokers.
The mail pouch was in one OF three
wagons, the other two not containing
any registered matter. 1t Is the be-
lief OF the police that the sock not
recovered can be more really me-
gotiated than that which the thieves
left behind. 1t is the opinion of po-
lice that the negroes permitted the
men to ride in the wagon from the
postotfice to the railroad station, a
distance OF dozen blocks. This gave
the men ample time to cut open the
pouch and to select the negotiable
securities. 5Ef
Held Under Bond.
The two negroes were given a hear
ing by United States Commissioner
Mahaffy and each was held in $4,000
bail for appearance next Thursday.
In default of bail they were committed
to Jail. The men were not employed
by the government but were hired by
a man who had the contract for car
rying the mail between the railroad
station and the postoffice.
The negroes were put through a
severe examination by Postal fnspec-
tor NJ. S. Plummer and while he will
not say what was learned, It was re-
ported the negroes gave clue to the
robbers.
