During the debate in the house of COM
mons yesterday on the bill for supplemental
war loan OF fS5o6.UOo, Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, liberal. said that, owing to the
existence of three fragmentary budgets, he
was unable to conclude at what the gov
ernment figured the cost of the war. He
estimated that it would be nearer fs00oo,oO0
than f60.0Oo000. Sir William added that
statesmen of the highest authority were
impress!ng upon the British the fact that
they were the best-hated people in the
world. Lord Salisbury could not understands
the reason. but Lord Rosebery knew the
cause of this hatred. Lord Rosebery had
declared that the empire needed peace. The
last twenty years Great Britain had been
laying hands with almost frantic eagerness
on every desirable tract of territory ada
cent to its own. This greed excited envy
and stood in the way of domestic reforms
The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, IN reply, said the
figures were complicated. but he could
make return showing how they have
been reached.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
1T WILL BE GREATLY EXTENDED
DURING THE COMING YEAR.
Two Thousand Additional Offices Will
BE Establshed-Every Application
for Service Granted.

During the coming fiscal year the rural
free delivery system will be extended to
greater extent than during any similar
period in the history of the department.
In fact, during that period the service will
be more than trebled. July l of the pres
ent year there became available for the
rural free delivery service s1,IJ0,Ooo. At
the present time there are in the service
1,263 rural free delivery carriers and S3
offices. The pay of these letter carriers is
STO year, that the sum of sSS1 Eoo is
necessary for salaries and s2Op,60 for spe-
cial agents and such expenses as supplies
and incidentals. This leaves available
about $4,000 to be expended during the
year.
The credit for the development of the free
rural delivery system of the country is
due largely to the efforts of Mr.. A. w.
Machen, the superintendent of free de-
livery. Several years ago Mr. Machen
planned the elaborate system of rural free
delivery, which, 1t is expected. will be in-
stalled during the fiscal year. He sub

was contended at first that the proposed
system would not pay for itself, but that

rural free delivery routes in the different
parts of the country settled it beyond all

on these routes from / cent to =. 1t makes
other changes for the good Of the service
and to increase its efficiency.
The increase of the rural free delivery
system during the year to come will ex-

ditional offices. Mr. Machen says that
every application for the establishment of
a free delivery route in the United States
which has been received thus far will be
granted.
