Show EVERY SOLDIER XMASPRESENT NEW YORK, Nov. 27 Packages by the carload arc arriving at Pier 86, East river, and 100 mail clerks, assisted by 150 soldiers, are busy sorting the parcels that will mean a merry Christmas for every American fighting man in France. Every package destined for France must go through this mall station. The packages are arriving arriv-ing now at an average of about 100,000 a day. The first ship to carry Christmas Christ-mas packages was the Manchu, which sailed November 22. Next Saturday Is the last day Christmas packages for overseas will be received. A number of the packages are addressed: "To some American soldier who otherwise would not receive a Christmas present." These packages are being sent to the Red Cross and it is believed that there will not be a single empty stocking "over there." no |
