HEAVIEST MAIL
EVER RECORDED
Portal Force Hard Put to II as All
Previous Business is Surpass-
ed During Two Days.

Postmaster Simpson announces
the heaviest Christmas mail during
the last two days in the history of
the Rock Island postoffice. The in
crease in the mailings had been so
steady without appearance of a con-
gestion for a week that such a big
load at the last moment was not
anticipated. But it came with the
usual rush at the last moment The
forces of the Office were equal TO
1t, however, although it required
hard work and much overtime. The
heavy snow today is, of course, re-
tarding deliveries.
There will be a delivery by car
rIers all over the city tomorrow
and the general delivery, registry,
money order and stamp windows
will be open from s to II a. m.

His letter is appended:
As today will likely live in his

cannot help feeling like we are
blessed in many ways. Have been
in the most desolate part of France
for some time. Nothing but shell
holes and destroyed towns and
miles of forests destroyed. Have
not seen a woman for weeks. Was
trying to think just now long it has

/ less to try TO describe the utter
destruction and desolatiOn that is
in evidence, everywhere. Nothing
living but an occasional crow and
they don't have TO fly far to new

how many things We Americans

really the end, ! feel that every
one can afford TO be patient. Any

soldiers are more than proud Or

Nothing can ever replace the homes
destroyed in this country, not
counting the lives.
This is surely the land Of death
and the ruins will be in evidence
for centuries, and it looks like an
/ impossible task to try and rebuild
some portions of this country IL
is simply impossible TO try and de
