1t is believed that some Of the aged
clerks IN the PostOffce Department will
be weeded out on the first Of the month.
Many OF them are said to be incapacita-
ed for duty.
The Star SAYS that some removals will

The President has issued a proclama-
tion reserving from sale certain lands
In Wisconsin, which was thought to be
required for reservoir purposes, on the
headwaters of the Mississippi and St.
Croix rivers. This proclamation was
based on the engineers report. From
subsequent reports it appears that the
land reserved was not required. The
President by another proclamation re-
leases the lands. Acting Secretary of
the Interior holds that cash entries of
land reserved by the first proclamation,
made after the date Of the proclamation
and before the receipt at the local Office,
are illegal, as the proclamation went
into effect from its date. and not from
the receipt at the local Office. The Act
ing Secretary has referred said entries
to Board of Equitable Adjudication.
