1t is Christmas eve, and as l
sit in my Office receiving re-

of Christmas mail from all
parts Of the country, my
thoughts go out to those who
did it.
The work has been ardUous.
Yet, never faltering under its
burden, you have served with
the finest spirit.
Your real compensation for
the extraordinary efforts put
forth, for the willing sacrifice
of time you would gladly have
given to your own people, must
he the joy that comes through
bringing happiness to so many
others.
| congratulate you, fellow
workers, for a loving task so
ably executed, and we all
pledge ourselves for the COM

have to you and the country's
welfare.
This one thing would we ask
in return: the same devotion
to duty and the same loyal Co
operation that you have so
willingly given to the new ad-
ministration of the postal serv-
ice, particularly during this
Christmas period and through
out the year that is ending.

.BALFOUR PAYS
VISIT TO WILSON,:
GOSSIP is RIFE
French Quick to Note Former
Presidents Departure
From Custom.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Considerable
surprise and flood of speculative gos-
sip was evident in diplomatic circles here
today when 1t became known that the
Right Honorable \. j. Balfour, head of
the British delegation to the conference,
was received by former President Wilson
at his S street home a few days ago,
The visit of the veteran English states
man marks the first departure Mr.. VIII
son has made from his policy Of not re-
ceiving foreign visitors here to attend
the conference. This policy on the part
of the former President was attbuted to
his fear that opponents might raise the
cry Of Wilson meddling" in the con-
ference.
FOCH, BRAND LEAVE
CARDS AT DOOR.
Marshal FOch, Premier BRAND and a
number of other distinguished foreign
visitors have called at the Wilson home
in the last few weeks, but none Of them
have gotten farther than leaving their
cards at the door.
Balfour, however, was received by the
former president in his study and the
two had a long and intimate chat, it
was learned.
In British quarters, the visit Of Bal
four was described as being purely So
ciaI" Balfours secretary said that the
veteran Briton had called to renew the
acquaintance begun here in 1917 and ex-
tended when the two worked so long to-
gether at the Paris conference.
SPECULATION KEEN
IN FRENCH CIRCLES.
Balfour's visit caused particularly keen
speculation in French circles, where 1t
was remarked that Mr.. Wilson had rot
received either Marshal Foch or Premier
BRAND.
Mr.. Wilson is known to have expressed
to intimate friends his fears of Frances
imperialistic ambitions" and their pessi-
BILE effect upon the peace of the world
While still President he spoke peintedly
about ''militarists being in control OF
France"
There was a great deal of speculation
as to whether Mr.. Balfour's visit was not
made the occasion for a talk on French
policies, as Balfour and Wilson hold dis
tinctly similar views on the matter of
Frances policy in Europe.

st. GATHERINGS DGy
Causes Paris Men
to Run for SGfetu

PARIS, Nov. 25.-Luckless man sour
ried to cover today when mohs Of French
girls combed the streets for husbands.
1t was st. GATHERINGS day, the ira
ditional time for the unmarried French
girls who have reached the age Of 20 to
go out into the highways and pluck
their husbands from the pavements
The affair-as usual-started out an q
peaceful parade, but the first good-look-
ing male to appear broke up the pro-
eeedings and started a riot in his own
direction.
1t was more violent than usual be-
cause the women completely outnum-
bered the men, due to the war lasses.
This advantage prevented the men from
making any defense and they were car
ried ST bodily.
There was no question of being able to
distinguish between the married and un-
married men.
'eYou can tell by the look in thsir
eyes," one of the girls explained.
