San Francisco, en- route to China to estab-
fish the new postal service for United

service, and Mr.. Hunt will have charge of
the financial part of the work Four other
postal experts will join them at San Fran
cisco, and the entire party will leave on the
transport sailing from that city on August

lishment and maintenance of postal SER
vice for the soldiers in the Chinese cam
palgn, similar to that in operation during
the Spanish war. have been given to Mr.
Robinson. While not inviting any mail
save that directed to or from United States
soldiers in the field, the instructions direct
the receiving and forwarding of any mail
Tor the troops of other nations, when pre-

not preclude the making Of reciprocal ar

one may be carried by another. No such
steps toward that end, however, have vet
been taken.
