 Rain Spells Saturday Trade.
 A deluge of rain on Saturday prac- tically killed business for local mer- chants on what was looked forward to as apt to be the banner day of the whole Christmas season. Some buy CTS braved the storm to do Christmas shopping but the number was com paratively small. The only cOnsola- tiOn for the business men was that no town in this section fared better weather wise than did Danielson. Damage Done By Storm. Selectmen Of the town were kept calls and otherwise receiving reports of damage and trouble caused by the exceptionally heavy rain. On Stearns | street there was a hole in the high | way and at various points in the l borough drains and gutters that had either become clogged by the matter i that the rush of water brought down i or were frozen caused overflow con- | ditions. This was true at the junc- | tion of Center and School streets, WH0T6 lIlO street was llOOuSu TOT a l time from curb to curb. but prompt | attention cleared the trouble. The storm cut away the ice that had be- | come quite heavy on lakes and rivers and gave promise of an early ice har- l vest.

SWEDEN TO MAKE ENERGETIC
 PROTEST TO GREAT BRITAIN About Stoppaee of Parcel Post Service Between Sweden and United States.

Berlin, Dec. 19 (by wireless to Say ville).-Sweden has decided to make an energetic protest to Great Britain against the stoppage by British au- thoritjes in Kirkwau of the parcel post service between Sweden and the United States. The Swedish govern ment also has ordered all parcel post from England in transit across Sweden to be held up indefinitely. This means the complete stOppage of the Anglo Russian parcel post service until the Swedish protest is needed.
 The Swedish government, according to information received here, will no tify the United States of this new measure. The protest is based on the British action of taking sealed sacks of parcel post mail from the steamer Hellig Olav on her last voyage from New York and in removing the entire parcel post from the outgoing steamer Stockholm, formerly the Holland American liner Potsdam, and now owned by the Swedish-American Steamship company, which left Goth enberg a few days ago.
 It was stated at the British foreign office yesterday that out of 300 bags of parcel mail for Sweden on board the HelIig Olav, 109 contained nothing ex- cept rubber consigned to a well known forwarding agent in Sweden. It was added that innocent parcels of mail carried by the steamer would be for warded to their destination as speedily as possible.

 Christmas Trade to Be Rushed This Week.
 It became a necessary condition of | Christmas shopping, following Satur- | days buSineSS-killing storm, that the | great bulk of buying be done today , and in the four days following. The i Christmas trading in this city did not
 get under full headway last week, al- | though there was liberal buying of | gifts. Saturday, figured to be a big
 day. was spoiled for shoppers by the i storm, and only a percentage of the | number of buyers expected from out | of town were seen here. Incidentally | those who had planned to make trips ! to the big cities were kept at home 1 and local dealers may now derive a | benefit, as there are no remaining i chances for week end trips before the | holiday.
