THREE PRINCIPAL POINTS IN NOTE. Washington is Suprised That the Entente Allies Don't Un derstand. The American government, it has fceen made known authoritatively, be lieves there are three principal points in its note to the belligerents, and is surprised that they have not been more clearly understood, particular ly by the press of the entente allies. These points, taken in their order of importance from the administra tion viewpoint, are: The fear that the position of neu tral nations be "rendered altogether intolerable" if the war continues. The suggestion that arrangements he made as a guarantee against sim ilar conflicts in the future. The proposals that means be found for comparing the concrete peace terms of both sides. The last point has aroused most comment and the first was empha sized by Secretary Lansing's state ment, afterwards modified, that the United States itself might be draw ing near entrance into the war. The administration, however, thought the suggestion for an ar rangement to preserve peace in the future would attract more attention among the entente ?.llies than it ap parently has, and furnish a means through which these nations could en ter with perfect propriety into a seri ous peace discussion. If such an arrangement could be made, the administration feels there Avould be no ground for the fear that agreements over terms made between the belligerents would not be kept af tr the present war nds. It has been pointed out that such a fear has been one cf the main objec tions of the entente allies to entering into peace discussions. PERSONAL MENTION.

In spite of the weather conditions that tied up trains and crippled local delivery arrangements in hundreds of cities, reports to the postoffice de partment indicate that ninety-nine per cent of this year's record-breaking budget of Christmas mail, includ ing $125,000,000 parcels and many millions of holiday letters and cards, were delivered on or before Christ mas day. The tremendous bulk of mail mat ter turned over to the service for transportation and delivery in the two weeks before Christmas was equivalent, Postmaster General Bur leson has pointed out, "to fully two and one-half pounds of parcel mail for every man, woman, child and in fant in the land." That would re quire use of 1,000 full mail cars, car rying ten tone each, during the two weeks period. Reports on December stamp sales, relied on to show definitely the vol ume of Christmas traffic as compar ed to other years, are not yet com plete, but department officials esti mate that postage receipts for the monh will not total less than $18,000, 000. Last December the total was $15,000,000. )an!sh West Indes to Be Ours. Both houses of the Danish Parlia ment have approved the sale of the Danish West Indes to the United States.
