A veritable avalanche of Christmas
mail - slid Into tha post of flee Saturday
and last nlsTht and the force vwas nearly

"But we will handle It In a satisfac
tory manner,' said an official. "We've
handled, our end. all along,, but It la
i said that there has been, some delay at
l the depota." ;
The"Christmaa mall this year has been
unprecedented! y heavy, due principally
to so many presents being sent to the
soldiers. ,
Saturday's mall was the heaviest so
far.' .The incoming; mall hasn't begun to
come In to a great extent yet. and there
Is no Idea how heavy It will be. Post
office employes are confident, however.
It will be handled without delay.
The postofflce force has been greatly
added to and many of the "extras' are
old hands.. This is one of the reasons
the handling of the malls la being fa
diluted.
A big - portion of the force has been
working each evening and ' a few in
some cases have been kept on all night
to keep up with the work. At least one
stamp window has been kept open every
night until midnight. Saturday night
two of the windows were kept open
until nearly- midnight, and there ,was a
steady stream of 'present senders.
In fact, so steady was the march that
pools of water, tracked In from the wet
streets, -stood In the corridors.
Dispatches from Washington over
the' United Press wire say that
the country were dumped Into the malls
Saturday night, giving the postofflce de
partment the most tremendous task In
its history

Investigators Wood Vessels
Are Practical and Necessary.
Southern Contracts, He Said,'
May Be Transferred to Pacific
Coast;' Building of Small
Ships to Be Encouraged.
Washington. Dec 11. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
After many tips and downs, the shipping
board now considers wooden shlpbulld
lng feasible, practical and necessary,
was the testimony of Charles A. Plea,
head of the government fleet corpora
tion, before the senate Investigating
committee today.
Pies said that at first he was opposed
to wooden shloa, but that ha has been
converted and. answering questions by
Senator Johnson of California, he said
wooden vessels are essential to the gov
emment'a program.
Delays are caused, he eald. by doubt
concerning the design which Admiral
Cappa approved, experts believing the
timbers are not heavy enough. The
Southern Pine association has failed to
keep Its promises to deliver timber as
required, making It neoeeaary to ship
fir from the Pacific coast, he said.
Coa tracts May Be Traasferred
The board Is considering the transfer
of contracts from certain southern yards
to the Pacific eoast. Plea said, and he
agreed with a suggestion by Senator
J ones of Washington that construction
should be done where materials are
found.
Abandonment of wooden shipbuilding
In . the East waa forecasted by Plea la
his testimony. In which hs explained
that the board will likely continue con
struction on the Pacific Coast, but doee
not want too maay vessels of small
tonnage."
The board has recently determined on
a policy pf encouraging building of
email craft, tha alas i needed for over
seas trade. -said Pies, thus giving per
mission for the. building of. ships under
