LATE WASHINGTON NEWS AND
GOVERNMENTAL PROCEEDINGS

The part which postal employees are
to be permitted to take In n political
campaign Is outlined In the following
instructions which Acting Postmaster
General Wynne has addressed to
postmaster who sent n letter Of In
quiry: "In reply to your letter, you
are Informed that you are not prohib-
tied from joining political club, nor
making voluntary financial contribu-
tions outside of a government office or
building, nor from acting as delegate
to county or state or congressional
convention. You should not, however,
serve as chairman of state or county
convention, nor take active part in con-
ducting political convention, nor
| make yourself unduly prominent in To-
cal political matters"
Although the official report of Lieu
tenant Winchell, who was detailed to
accompany the oil-burning steamer
Marlposa on her recent trip from San
Francisco to the Society Islands and
return, for the purpose of making n
comprehensive report upon every fea-
ture of the oll-burnlng devices used by
that steamer, has not yet reached the
Navy Department, unofficial data have
arrived which are considered very sat
isfactory to those interested. The run
from San Francisco Is 3,i3S knots. 1t
was made by the Mariposa at the rate
of 1872 knots pav hour, the whole run
lasting clGven eitrys, during which lit
tie over 400 tons of oil We're consumed.
The number of pounds of oil per knot
used on the run was 2G0.9, which is
equivalent to SIS knots per ton Of oil.
1t required LOS pounds of oil per hour
to develop one horsepower. This is
considered quite satisfactory, us under
ordinary seagoing conditions 1t re-
quires two and Il half or three pounds
of coal to develop one horsepower,
Carrying out the plan TO have the
combined army and navy maneuvers
duplicate the conditions of actual war
as far as training of the personnel is
concerned. orders have been issued
from the War Department that the
maneuvers are to be regarded as actual
field operations. Therefore every army
officer connected Herewith is required
to submit detailed reports of his op-
erations and special functions, just rs
he would in case of actual war. This
was with n view TO deriving the great
est benefit from the operations. The
officers are especially enjolned TO com
ment freely upon any phases of the
maneuvers outside of their own line
of work. With view TO preventing
any accidents which might result from
the presence In ehe soldiers belt OF
ball cartridge, General Macarthur has
directed all company officers TO take
away all such ammunition. The same
rule is to apply to the ammunition
chest of small calibre machine guns.
No personal salutes will be fired during
the period of the maneuyers.
