CHRISTMAS IN GERMANY.
BRIGHTEST SINCE 1913. PEOPLE SPEND FREELY. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Dee. 24, 8.5 p.m. London, Dec. 24. The Berlin correspondent of the Morning Post says Christmas is being celebrated in a spirited fashion. The principal streets during Golden Sunday were more thronged with shoppers than since 1913. The -presents purchased were chiefly practical, but the highest quality was sought. The toyshops were cleared and geese were unobtainable for a week, though the price reached four shillings a pound. There is a big migration to southern Germany for wiriter sports. Though the prices of the necessaries of life are dcuble and treble those of other countries, the people have been able to save in recent weeks without fearing depreciation in the mark. A welcome anm uncement is that the French occupation authorities are permitting expatriated railway and other officials to return to their families in the Ruhr for Christmas week. It is believed, this is due to the instigation of the Pope.
