KEEN INTEREST
 IN GERMAN NOTE
League Members Get Letter Ask.
 ing Membership
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press,
 Geneva. Dec. 23.-Germany's note to the league Of nations. touching on the question of that country's joining the league was sent to all the members today for their con- ments or suggestions and it Is being discussed here with the keenest in- terest.
 The note, which shows that Ger many desires an exceptional position as d member of the league because of her lack Of armed strength. is re- garded in some quarters as an ap- peal to the league as a whole over the head of the council which failed to give Germany satisfaction in previous direct negotiations, while Germany dehies any intention Of asking for special privileges, she maintains that if she is obliged to participate in an of the leagues military sanctions, she win be com pelled 10 waive her right to neu- trality-"The last defense of d dis armed people"
 In discussing the note today, league circles regarded several lines of action as possible. It was be- lieved that the question might go before the new league commission on CO., ordination which will meet Feb. 16 to prepare for the project ed disarmament conference. IL was also thought that the German ques- ton might be forced on inc coun- cil at the March session. or it might even be debated at a special session Of the assembly, which any state may recommend to be convoked.
 The general view Of league ob- servers here IS that the German note is q special pleading which fails to recognize that as a poten- tial member of the council, Ger many would have a powerful voice in deciding what her military ohli cations would be in the event of an international conflict involving mu- ludl dSSlSldnCe dulpll6 ltob NS hi'ih- bers.
 It Is remarked also that the sec ond assembly adopted a resolution stating that the council should be guided by pending amendment to article 16 of the covenant which provides that the council may post rone the enforcement of sanctions for specified periods In the cases of particular members whose special military and geographical situations are recognized.
 The opinion is expressed by some that Germany Is determined to obtain a heavy reduction of her neiehbors' armaments. especially of France and the Little Entente, be- fore subscribing to the Geneva peace protocol, which all admit must be revised. Others believe that Germany probably fears the possible transportation of troops over her territory for use against Russia, with which she Is particular ly desirous of remaining on good terms.

Don fBlame He Mailman FHe
 Christmas Mail Comes In Late
Public Indifference Until Last Hour Makes Car rier's Task One Human Iy Impossible.

Judging by the amount of mail that has been handled by the local post office thus far 1t seems certain that many people will be dsap- pointed in the time Of delivery of their mail.
 Although there is a line of people the whole length of the post office building constantly waiting for their turn at the stamp window the amount of mail handled Is not what it should have been. Evidently people fall to realize the necessity of mailing early and consequently when they come 10 the post office heavily laden with packages and other mailing matter they find, to their Inconvenience the discomfort, that they are forced to wait any where from Is minutes to a half hour for their turn.
 Despite the fact that mailing is belated, tho amount of mailing mat ter that has been handled by the department so far has exceeded that Of other yearS by far. There has been a general increase in the amount of all classes of mail and a decided increase in the amount Of percel post packages. The post office staff has been increased con- sidorably in order to handle the Christmas mail.
 Postmaster Erwin this afternoon stated that 1t will be utterly i'm possible to deliver all the Christmas mail before II a. m. on Christmas day and as q consequence the local post office will have a great deal Of mail left over for a post Christmas delivery.
 Sunday night e5s bags Of mall were received at the local post office. On Saturday S2 truckloads of parcel post were delivered in the city.
