RUSH PARCEL SHIPMENTS.
Christmas Business at Post Office
Opens Up Literally. F..


What is said to have been the heav-
lest outgoing Christmas business so
far in advance of Christmas day In
years was seen at the post office Mon
day. An unusually large number OF
packages were brought TO the office
during the day, the shipments peing
so much more numerous than ordi-
narily ten days in advance Of Christ
mas as to attract special attention.
1t Is thought that the warning print
ed last week that packages probably
would be delayed In reaching their
destination unlesssenders mailed them
early was responsible for the unusual
rush.
1t is now expected that with the
resumption Of train service Thursday
Tess difficulty will be experienced in
handling all the parcel post packages
Of the Christmas rush, but in order to
make sure Of mail being delivered in
time senders should mail packages
this week.

basement with live specimens of all
small varieties of ocean fish, reptiles,
animals and insects besides other
hard-looking creatures which cannot

went by the way of Bordeaux arriv-

out of luck. We started out across
town and after wandering around for
about an hour and half we located
a hotel operated by the Y NJ c. A.

In Nice there is a rocky point ris-
ing from the waters edge to height
of 300 feet. 1t is known as the cha

there but it had entirely disappeared
by the year 1000. On its summit now
there is an observation platform,

cade. Several wide stone stairways

one winding. rock paved roadway lead
up to the top. From the platform you
can see all of Nice, the sea in front

you a letter, but Mr.. Censor said i
told too much and returned it yes

so much.
Since writing you last, or SINCE
you got letter from me which coulu
have been written after the second
"field service card we moved from
off the heels cf the Hun to town
way south, and to the rear, where
there is no evidence whatever of the
war. On the edge of the town long
wooden billets are built for the men.
Here we rest, get new clothes, clean
up, bid goodbye to our old stand-bys
the fellows that have gone with us
through thick and thin, and have
stuck closer than a brother-the
"cooties," refill our depleted ranks
with new men, and then drill and get
ready for another good thrashing for
the Hun.
You will be glad to know, tho, that
