service of Cuba is not satisfactory to

There are hundreds and hundreds of
postal officials on the island. honest

rascals. These rascals will be pun

The normal average of passports
issued by the state department Is
about 1000 per month. but this spring
they are being issued at the rate OF
5000 per month and the number VIII
increase in the summer. This exodus
simply means that prosperous times
are giving more than usual the oppof-
tunity for foreign travel. 1t also indi-
catas that the historical threat to boy

Speaking of the general honesty of
the great army of American postal
officials, the Boston Journal calls at
tention to the fact that out of II ,O00.-
900 pieces of registered mail annually
handled by the United States postal ser
vice, the loss has been only 1-1000 of l
per cent, and that of the immense
mass of ordinary letters, the loss has
been only 77-10OoO of 1 per cent. The
general average of honesty as well as
of efficiency among American postal
employees is very high. 1t is the best
paid service of the kind in the world,
and, as rule, it is carefully guarded.
The postal system in Cuba has suffered
from the haste with which it was or
ganizcd. and also from the fact that
it was merely temporary expedient.
