concluded from Page IL

John Dillon said that the National.
lists, believing the war to be IAN un-
just and iniquitous war of aggression,
entirely unprovoked," were unable t.
support an amendment declaring that
the war should be prosecuted with
vigor He pressed for the publication
of General Sir William Buffers dis
patches.
Mr.. Dillon said that the military
reputation of England was irreparably
ruined, that the Beers had established
claim to be free, and that no amount
of brute force could ever diminish their
claim.
The government has decided to make
a free use of the closure. if necessary.
to get the debate on tho address con-
c1uded this week. so as not to delay the
votes of supplies for the war. Ar
rangements have been made to bring
the Fitzmaurice amendment to "a divis-

ably be late sitting.

CONDITIONS or THE SERVICE.
1t must be borne in mind that the in
tention of congress in authorizing the
free delivery of mails in rural districts
was not to grant II suburban delivery to
cities included in the free delivery SER
vice, nor 10 establish a village free de-
livery The purpose Of the rural free
delivery system is to give postal facili-
ties TO those who have none; to carry the
mails to remote rural communities the
residents of which would otherwose have
to travel from two to twelve miles to
receive their letters and newspapers
The roads must be good. This is an es-
sential prerequisite to any investigation
No route can be established that is less
than from 20 to % miles in length, or
which serves less than 100 families
The route should be so arranged that
the carrier will not be required to travel
over the same ground twice on the same
day.
Those desiring the delivery must he
prepared TO put up, at their own expense
at some convenient location which can
be reached by the carrier without dis
mounting from his buggy, appropriate
ana secure boxes for the reception of the
United States mails.
Rural carriers are not required to de-
liver mail to houses standing back from
the main road. The service is one of
mutual accommodation. and the patrons
are expected to meet the department
half way in affording facilities for It's cs-
tablshment.
