The returning American delegates
to the peace conference are iubilant
over it's accomplishment, and intimate
that hereafter arbitration of inter.
national disputes is to be expected
Great Britain and the United States
were the principal advocates of arbi
tration at the conference, but at
present there is no prospect that the
Alaska boundary dispute will be set
tied by arbitration, though other
nations are watching to see us prac-
tice what we preached.

of the work has already become ma,

of the work has already become nat
ional, and officers oi the army an6
navy and civil attaches of the Gov
eminent are cooperative to advance
the work.
That these young boys in most OF
the cases in which the association
has acted are bright, ambitious, NAL.
leable, winsome and worthy Of the
best work Of the American educator
has been easily demonstrated. The
parents and guardians Of these boys
are more than grateful because the
way has been opened for them to
come to the United States and COM
plete their education. Many of these
people are willing to mortgage their
futures that their boys may become
beneficiaries in our educational insti-
tntions, knowing that such tuitior
will aid in the development of the
boys and set them thinking how best
to advance the interests Of their own
country.
We already have young men at
schools in New Hampshire, Vermont.
Connecticut, Rhode Island, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Alabama, Ohio and Michigan, and
we expect before the new year arrives
to have students in each State in the

The Big Stone Gap post. [volume] (Big Stone Gap, Wise County, Va.) 1892-1928, 1899-09-07

The Postofice department a,
Washington has ruled that the writer
has right to regain the possession
Of letter.providing he can prove to
the satisfaction Of the post master and
the office from which the letter was
sent that he was the writer of it.
Even if the letter has arrived at it's
destination and before it has been de-
livered to the person to whom it was
addressed, it may be recalled bv
telegram through the mailing Office.
The reason assigned is that the
United States is only the agent of the
writer while the letter is in transit.
The decision is important to business
men and to private individuals.
