SANTA MAKES
MAIL RECORD
Holiday Business Us Per
Cent Heavier Than
Last Year.

Approximately 100000 envelopes en-
closing Christmas cards, are expected
at teh city Postofice during the next
three days. Half as many Christ
mas postel cards will be received for
distribution before December 25. In
addition. the Christmas letter mail,
bearing the seasons greetings. has
been especially heavy,
Two hundred temporary letter car
riers have been pressed into service
to distribute the holiday mail. which
is LIS per cent greater than 1t was
last season, with last years cancella-
tions representing the high water
mark for the local postoffice UP to
that time.
Twenty-Five trucks have been loaned
the main mailing station by the Army
Motor Transport Corps under COM
mand of Capt. Hoover and Lieut.. Cath
ness to distribute the parcel post
packages and to make half-hourIy
collections at the substations Of the
city. Three eight-hour shifts are now
being worked at the receiving and
distributing sack racks at the main
station in order that there will be no
accumulation of Christmas mail.
Indications are that Washingtonians
have responded to the slogan on the
many Mail Early" signs posted by
the postoffice, for the amount Of OUT
going mail has been decreasing for
several days. while the incoming mail
has been steadily increasing, as the
postoffice officials had hoped.
More than $500 mail sacks were sent
into the main office yesterday from
the substations with a record of ap-
proximately 5000 received for distribu-
ton within the city.
The following postal stations win
be open today from 2 to p. m.
for the acceptance of parcel post and
the sale OF postage stamps: Anacostia.

pont Dupont Circle. Fourteenth ana

Man-Afraid-of-His-WIfe
Enter Mr.. Rockafellow.
Not Jawn D., mind you, but a fell
low who would make a good model
for a statue Of Hercules. His first
name is Lewis.
This Mr.. Rockafellow is a police
man. He Is very much afraid of his
wife. So he tells the court, anyhow.
Wifey said that she was going to
blow out his brains. And SO hubby
Rockafellow had her pinched. You
| can't very well blame him, because a
policeman, like other human beings,
has use for his brains occasionally
But wifey said it was all a joke.
"a. brain-less policeman couldn't be
anything else)
However, the court said II was q
poor way to joke. Besides, wifey, was
told, it might be dangerous, because
something might actually happen to
her hubby and she would be blamed
whether she did anything or not.
1t turned out that the threat was a
| conditional one, variety which the
law overlooks (but not so the hus-
/, bands). There was an 'if" connected
with it.
And so the court let the wife &c
free, with the advice to not make any
| more threats, not even in fun.
BIZ Wns Pceved, and Beaned.
Not so long ago Bill Summers was
| sent to Jail to serve a couple of years.
When he got out he discovered that
he never again have any affection for
the police department
He was standing in front of a near
beer saloon on B street southwest the
other day when Policeman Cox ad-
vised him to move on.
There had been a crap game going
on in the vicinity and naturally the
cops were suspicious of hangers-on.
You better lay offa me-" Bill ad-
vised Cox. II don't want back talk
outa you. Do you git me?"
Run along now" warned Cox. "be-
fore you get into trouble again"
Bill reached for his hip pocket. Cox
knew what that motion mean; and he
| also knew what kind OF man Bill
was.
And so the first thing Bill knew he
was looking at a million stars. Cox's
club had come into use and Bill had
| changed his mind about his hip
pocket.
In court he complained bitterly
about the blow on his head.
We'll, you know what to expect

even make a kick on the quality you
get at that price either.

The price was IS.

had 81. And so after a little bargain
ing the bottle changed hands for the
81 bill.
Jim was nabbed on the spot. He
was taken to headquarters In hurry.
The bottle was examined. 1t looked
like 1t had whisky in 1t. 1t had a
revenue seal on it and everything, but
1t contained only ginger ale.
OF course Jim couldn't be charged
with bootleggang. He was too much
of a faker for that But he was
charged with larceny by trick, mas.

an innocent detective and sold him

THE LORD CHANCELLOR Fred
erick William Victor Albert Hohenzol-
lern, late King of Prussia and Emperor
IN Germany, have you anything to saw
before we deliver our Judgment on the
indictment under which you stand
charged?
THE KAISER-I have. The ATTORNEY
General has told you that it is to God
and my own conscience that I stand an
swerable for every word and deed. and
If that be part of your indictment I ac-
cept it and indorse it.
BY lawful right of inheritance did I
succeed to the throne and sceptre of NV
fatherland, and by the free concurrence
of my people have reigned, answerable
to none but God even in my glorious en-
pire, and utterly beyond the jurisdiction
of this alien tribunal, set up with all the
adjuncts of indecent haste and foolish
panic by a government that represents
nothing but itself.
Whence, my Lord Chancellor, do YOU
claim to derive your authority to sit in
judgment upon the King of Prussia and
the Emperor of Germany? From YOUR
Houses of Parliament? Was there a
member of your House of Commons elect
ed in 1910 to whom the electors intrusted
this strange and grotesque task? You
know we'll that the electors gave to no
one of them such mandate, and as to
your House of Lords, those aristocrats,
judiciously leavened with parvenus and
grocers, have they any power to erect this
court?
Even if you truly represented the peo-
pie of England you could by no law Of
your own land exercises any prerogative,
authority or power over the sovereign of
another state. Therefore your robes
and ermne are your only titles to au-
thority, and though your wigs may i'm
part to you gravity of appearance they
cannot confer upon you even wisdom
and understanding, much less the right
to judge King.
I look upon you, therefore, as I am
justly entitled to do by your own laws
and customs, as phantom court; you
are travesty of your own ancient ira
ditions, an insult to your own jurispru-
dence-you are a mockery and a farce!
Deliver, then, your lawless Judgment
against an unarmed King and a sword
Tess Emperor History will allot to you
and indorse the contempt with which I
here defy and fout your usurped and
baseless authority.
