(Received Dec. 26, at 9 p.m.) President Hindenburg spent a quiet Christmas owing to the recent deaths of two sisters-in-law.

Gifts of food and wine were sent to hospitals for war invalids. Many of the 12,000 prisoners re. leased as a mark of clemency on the occasion of the President’s eightieth birthday, were set free in time to spend Christmas with their families.
