New York, December 25.-This was a
merry Christmas in New York in spite
of mild and foggy weather. Charitable
agencies which supply cheer for the
homeless and forlorn united tonight in
declaring there is far less poverty than
there was a year ago. Stocks of food
which had been provided for the usual
Christmas dinners were more than suf
ficient.
There was greater call for clothing
than for food. So many garments have
been sent to Belgium that not enough
are left to supply the needy here. il
was reported Most of those who applied
today for dinners at missions and other
similar institutions. We're aged and in
firm. 1t was said there was no lack OF
employment for those willing and able
to work.
Prediction was made at the postof-
flee that all records have been broken
in the sale of stamps to carry gifts and
in the shipment of Christmas packages
by parcel post. Carriers toiled all day
delivering belated presents.
All over the city there were dinners
and trees for the poor There We're toys
for every child overlooked by Santa
Claus. Hospitals, orphanages. aims
houses and even penal institutions were
not without their share Of the holiday
spirit.
Christmas day brought the announce
ment that architects have been commits
stoned to prepare plans for monument
to Santa Claus in the form of build
ing which will serve as headquarters
in this city for the international Santa
