Early mailing was not in order as much as desired by the pos- tal officials. The postoffice today, however, was piled high with packages, partly on account of the delay in train arri- vals which knocked the regular sch- edule of handling mails awry. Su- apervisory officials put in a lot of time Sunday trying to help clear up the muils. Under the orders of the postm ter-general, employes of postotti will quit work at 11 o'clock Christ- mas morning, An attempt will be made to complete one house deliv in the city, and the postoffice win- dow probably will be open for an hour for delivery of mail. 7,500 Xmas Trees Sold Everybody almost, it seems, yygnts a Chri tree this year, ‘Two wholesale houses here ~ ihiported ¢ Christmas trees form northern Minn- esota, ‘The two houses handled 7,500 c them taken.

(By the A. P.)=— The chances of the Cologne area bee ing evacuated by the allies January 10 under the provisions of the treaty of Versailles have been diminishedy it is thought in French official cite cles, by the regular semi-monthly ree port of the allied military contro! mission in Germany. This report, which now is in the hands of the al- lied war committee, is understood to confirm the special reports in their charge that Germany was persisting in arming, contrary to the peace treaty provisions. The pressure being brought to bear by the German government through Ambassador von Moesch will be unavailing, it is thought here, in the face of the reported pos- itive violation of Germany's agree- ment to disarm. The ambassador de- clared to the political director of the foreign office Saturday that if the allies persisted in their inten- tion of remaining in the Cologne area, as forecast, they would be de- pended upon to carry out the Dawes plan.

An Allied Question M. Luroche added that the evacua- tion question was an allied ome, im which all the allies ‘must have @ voice, and that i, could be decided only atter consultation. It iv understood that exchanges of views are actively in progress by the chancellories in Paris, London and Rome, in anticipation of Wednes- day’s meeting of the Council of Am- ssudors, The final report of the military control mission will come too late for action prior to the date fixed by the treaty for the evacua tion but it is believed in official cir- cles here that the semi-monthly re- port gives u sufficiently clear idea of Germuny’s attitude to enable the allies to decided whether they can sufely leave the Cologne bridgehead.
