CHRISTMAS FETE
Playground Associations'
Part of Municipal Tree Proi
gram Tonight Assured.
"Playground night" Is to be celebrated
this evening in a different way
from heretofore. The carols and
otner cnnstmas songs sung uy ute
thousand or more children representing
the District playgrounds, given
annually for a number of years on
the steps of the Treasury building,
are this time to be transferred to
the Capitol plaza, and will become a
component and important part of
Washington's municipal Christmas
tree celebration.
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, director of
playgrounds, is the one responsible
for adding the special attraction offered
by fresh young voices to the
tree festivities which have been planned
to cover a week by the War
Camp Community Service in co-operation
with other local organizations.
The boys and girls under Mrs.
Rhodes' direction will join at 4::10
o'clock this afternoon in the carol
singing with the adult chorus. Miss
Ensor of the playgrounds department
and Hamlin E. Cogswell, director of
music in the public Fchools, will lead
the youngsters, while the grown-ups
will be in charge of Otto Simon.
Bad Weather No Bar.
Those In charge of the playgrounds
association's part in the exercises
said this morning they weren't going
to allow bad weather to keep them
from performing. This being so, the
adults will, of course, be 'game' and
the evening's entertainment may,
therefore, be expected confidently.
Of course, if the weather at the
starting hour be particularly bad and
yet should show signs of early improvement.
a postponement of a half
hour or so would be In order.
Gathered uround the foot of the
sixty-foot evergreen, which, together
with Its illumination, is being provided
for by The Star, the kiddies
and the grown-ups will sing the old
and yet ever-new songs appropriate
to the occasion for about a half hour,
accompanied by the United States
Marine Band. Then will come a
tableau on the Capitol steps, entitled
"The Procession to the Manger," fol'
toweH hv nn mtnrnpfttivo Hanep "The
Spirit of Christmas," given by groups
of children, under the direction of
Mrs. Glenna Smith Tinnin.
The appearance of the elves and
epirites will be the cue for the
lighting of the big tree which will
mark the formal ushering-in of
Christmas by the National Capital.
Festivities Christmas Night.
Tomorrow, Christmas. night at
7:30 o'clock the old English Christmas
festivities will be acted out
around the tree by various groups
from educational institutions,
churches, governmental departments
and other bodies. The next two ,
rights there are no special exercises ;
scheduled, these days having been
left open for any possible postponement
of activities because of bad
weather.
Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock
in the rotunda of the Capitol, the
first time this space has ever been
used for such a purpose, is scheduled
the big Christmas party for the
children of local soldiers now overseas.
On this occasion enlisted men
stationed in or near the city will
distribute from a smaller tree gifts
provided by the Red Cross and other
agencies, while Secretary Baker will
talk to both youngsters and gfown^
ups.
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL
AT 612 F STREET OPENS
Dr. E. W. Scott in Charge of Building
for Treatment of Influenza
Patients.
"With an increased number of new
cases and deaths reported, Washington
today opened an emergency hospital
for the care of Influenza patients
at 612 F street, in charge of
Dr. E. W. Scott of the United States
public health service.
The hospital, equipped with ninety
beds, opened shortly before noon. It
will be directed by the District health
office. Dr. Scott representing the local
authorities as well as the United
States public health service.
Deaths from influenza reported yesterday
showed an increase of six
over the number recorded for the preceding
day. There was also an increase
of 127 new cases.
The influenza record for the past
three days is as follows: December
21, nine deaths and 217 new cases;
December 22. nine deaths and 1S3 new
cases. December 23, fifteen deaths and
S10 new cases.
Up to noon today there had been j
reported to the health office 184 new l
cases. Health Officer Fowler believes !
that the second epidemic of the dis- 1
ease has spent its force, but local and
federal health authorities agree that
Washington's health interests will be
materially advanced through the i
opening of the emergency station. It
is probable that this hospital will remain
open throughout the winter.
Dr. Scott represented the public
health service in combating Influenza
during its epidemic form in Ohio.
BOLSHEVIKI SCORING

Capture Dorpat, West of Lake
Peipus, and Force Republic's Armies

STOCKHOLM, December 24.?The
bolsheviki are making" considerable
progress with their penetration of
Esthonian territory, the official statement
of the Esthonian republic for
Monday shows. They have taken Dorpat.
about twenty-five miles west of
lAike Peipus, and have forced the
Esthonians back on the Wesenberg
front northwest of Lake Peipus. The
German forces in this region are continuing

"The bolsheviki have taken Dorpat.
Our troops are retreating on the Wesenberg
front. German troops are
marching toward Fellin, en route to
Riga."
Anthem of the Church Bells.
The bells ring out high up in the steeple:

CHRISTMAS IN BERLIN
"ANYTHING BUT MERRY"
Stigma of Military Defeat Eclipsed,
Momentarily, by Political Uncertainty
and Food Stringency.
r- BERLIN,
Sunday, December 22 (by
the Associated Press).?The outlook
for Berlin's first revolutionary
Christmas appears to be anything
but merry. The disposition of the
Berllners seems to be gloomy. The
stigma of military defeat has been
eclipsed momentarily by political un
certainty, food stringency and disturbed
economic conditions.
Never before, even during the war,
have beggars and street venders been
met with in such numbers in Berlin.
Three years ago a soldier would not
have been permitted to walk the
streets in uniform and beg. Professional
beggars and crippled and invalid
soldiers multiply in number
daily and their numbers are augmented
by other soldiers who sell
cigarettes, soap and sweetmeats :
brought in from west of the Rhine,
where such things have been more
plentiful than in Berlin. An odd holiday
spectacle is an ablebodied soldier
in uniform grinding out Christmas
music from a street organ.
The Unter Den Linden, the Potsdamer
Platz and Friedrichstrasse
present and incongrous appearance,
with street stalls filled with flimsy
wares and substitutes for Christmas
pastry and wax candies.
There will be little holiday travel,
as through trains have been withdrawn
and local trains have been
stripped of ordinary comforts, such
as dining facilities, heating and illumination.
Trips which ordinarily
took twelve hours now take thirty.
Trains are taken oft without notice
and printed schedules are worthless.
The newspapers also are lacking in
Christmas cheer.
The mood of the holiday shopper inclines
to books, although jewelers are
garnering their last war profits.
CBWllL
HERE SETS RECORD
More Than 100,000 Parcel
Post Packages Delivered,
Post Office Reports.
This has been a record-breaking
Christmas season in Washington, according
to the post office authorities.
More than 100,000 parcel post remembrances
were delivered here during
the week ended Sunday night, and
since the. several thousand more
have been delivered daily.
This is more than twice the number
of parcel post pieces handled by the
post office last year. However, the
Christmas rush, it is believed,
reached its high-water mark at noon
today. More than 15,000 packages
for persons living in this city were
received yesterday. The receipt on
the day preceding amounted to 14.635
packages, against 7,513 for the same
day last year.
Little Confusion.
Despite the volume of Christmas
mail there has been little or no confusion.
Everything has run smoothly
and deliveries have been unusually
prompt. Postmaster Chance is of the
opinion that the "mail early" suggestion
has been generally followed in
Washington, and that much good has
resulted from the idea.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
post office task during the Christmas
rush can be gathered from a comparative
statement prepared by Postmaster
Chance. This statement shows
that during the week ended December
22 there were 5,287,704 machine
cancellations, an increase of 24 per
cent over the previous year; there
were 5,396 pouches received, an increase
of 34 per cent; there were
4,845 pouches distributed, an increase
of 45 per cent; sacks received numbered
19,202, an increase of 32 per
cent: sacks distributed, 78,032, an increase
of 5 per cent: 56.032 parcel post
packages were distributed, an increase
of 58 per cent, and 34.065 special
delivery letters were delivered,
an increase of 21 per cent.
Escapes Draft Mail.
It is explained in the statement
that the percentage of increase in
the distribution of sacks would have
beeh greater, but there was no heavy
official mailings, as was the case last
year, when the provost marshal general's
office was issuing large quantities
of draft mail.
During the last week the sale of
stamped supplies amounted to $117,117.00.
compared with $05,734 during
the corresponding week in 1917.

Santa Claus will meet twelve hunlieadquarters

Army, and Julian Brylawski, at
10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning, when
Santa will distribute dolls, toys, nuts,
candy, fruit and other gifts. He will
have something for everybody. No
child will be turned empty handed
away.
Brig. Escott, who directs the work
in Maryland and several other states,
has been delegated to preside at the
ceremonies. An enormous Christmas
tree will be erected this evening.
Forty or fifty Salvation Army workers
and their friends have agreed to
spend the entire night preceding
Christmas, if necessary, dressing the
tree.
The distribution of gifts will be preceded
by an entertainment in which
the Salvation Army Band and other
musical organizations will participate.
Still Remain Guests.
After the entertainment the children
will return to their homes,
where they will still be the guests
of the Salvation Army. They will each
be given a good dinner from the contents
of baskets delivered to tlieir
parents tonight.
"We are going to see that no child
will be neglected by Santa Claus."
said Brig. Escott. "Influenza has so
reduced the strength of many honest
workers in the city that for several
weeks they have not been able
to earn anything. The consequence
is that, they have no money with
which to pay for Christmas cheer.
"This year the Yuletide spirit is
beautiful. Wherever I go I find people
ready to respond to Christmas appeals.

Mission to Give Dinners.
Any needy person' can have a good
Yuletide dinner at the headquarters of
the Central Union Mission, 622 Louisiana
avenue, at noon tomorrow. Supt.
and Mrs. K. S. Bennett declared that
no questions would be asked of those
who desired to avail themselves of
the mission's hospitality. It is assumed
that none but those who are so
unfortunate as to be unable to provide
a meal in their own homes or
pay for one at a public eating house
will accept the mission's invitation to
dine.
"We will receive our guests with
open arms and open hearts." said Mr.
Bennett. "We will give them a bountiful
dinner and do everything possible
to make them enjoy the season.
This is a time when no heart should
be closed and no effort should be
lacking in the cause of God and humanity."
Mr. Bennett said the public had rallied
to the assltsance of the mission in
its efforts to provide a merry Christmas
for those who would not otherwise
partake of the cheer and brightness
of the season.
Will Give Entertainment.
In the evening, beginning at 7:30,
an entertainment will be given as
many children as can by any means
squeeze into the hall. Santa Claus
will be there. But he will distribute
useful articles, such as stockings,
sweaters, underclothing, shoes and
other things needed by children during
the winter season.
But in addition there will probably
be dolls for the girls and toys for the
boys, and there will, of course, be
candy. At any rate, Mr. Bennett said
that no child, thanks to the generosity
of the public, would be neglected.
There will be songs, recitations, brief
speeches, "skits" and other forms of
innocent merriment.

No Confusion, Sliglr
Discontent Attend
From Capital
Every train was a double-header (
and every engine was doing more
than its bit, when more persons were .
carried away from and through
wasnington every ten minutes uuiing
the past forty-eight hours than '
have traveled past or away from
Washington in the same time since
the birth of the city. But there was
no confusion, very little delay and
apparently only a limited amount of 1
discontent among passengers. Some
of the trains were late, due, railway
officials said, to the heavy traffic.
Station Constantly Crowded.
Union station has been crowded day
and night for the past forty-eight hours
with a good-natured, laughing and, in
some sections, singing multitude. It
would be impossible for a "grouch" to
continue in surly and dlscontended mood
in such an environment. Groups of war
workers would gather at different points 1
and sing "Home. Sweet Home" or some
other song indicative of the fact that
they were in love with their own community.
1
Officials when asked for some relinble
data as to the number of persons who '
had departed threw up their h:.nds with
a gesture of despair. It was impossible,
they said, to be definite as to figures.
They couldn't say whether 10.000, 100,000
or 1,000,000 persons had left the city.
All they could say was the exodus was
enormous and greater than at any time
in the history of the capital.
This was a perfectly safe statement.
It didn't seem to matter how manytrains
left Union Station or how great
the number of persons passing through
the different gates. The crowd apparently
didn't decrease in numbers.
Every foot of space was seemingly
occupied all the time. Every porter
was constantly engaged and the
amount collected in tips would be
enougfi, somebody said, to pay the
cost of the kaiser's defense when he ,
is tried for his crimes against humanity.
All Carry Gifts for Friends.
All the departing- war workers carried
away something besides memories of
Washington. They carried presents
to their friends and loved ones, purchased
in Washington stores. It
would be impossible to estimate the
value of the tokens carried away.
