A. q result the "Wednesday mails will
be handled as expeditiously as former
ly while there will be a decided gain
in the Saturday mails. Heretofore
these have been sent on the Cunard
line via Liverpool and the London let
tiers have not been distributed until 4

morning as there is no distribution in
London ON Sundays, Under the new
plan the London mail Will reach its
destination Saturday afternoon and
there will be gain of from 80 to sc
hours in delivering a large part Of the
mail for all British points,
In consequence of the change the
American line ships probably will
carry more mail than formerly since
the mails are naturally heavier at the
end than at the beginning of the week,
This will not be of any material adj

new plan will be decided gain TO the
business world whereas the policy of
the British postal authorities IL openly
intended for the advantage f British
steamships without reference TO the
interests of the business public.
simultaneously with the change in
its sailing day the American line will
begin operating its ships on four

Washington, Nov. 15 The heaviest
and most important International
mails in the world are those between
New York and London and as the
largest and swiftest steamships in the
world are those plying on the great
Atlantic highway the mail service
judged by any standard of the past is
highly efficient. 1t is a peculiar fact,
however, that the mail travelling east
ward across the Atlantic, that is from
the United States to Great Britain,
makes better time than that travelling
in the opposite direction. This dis.
crepancy is due not to quicker voy-
ages in one direction but TO the diff
ference between the British and
American way Of handling this partic-
uIar branch of public business.
1t is obvious that the efficiency of
the ocean mail service depends on two
things: the speed of the mails in tran
sit and the frequency with which they
are despatched, The second factor is
fully as important as the first, for it
is evident that three sailings a week
of seven or eight day boats would give
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1903-11-26

mail by the vessels of the American
line, which provide weekly sailings
from New York to Southampton. So
far from doing this however, Uncle
Sam invariably sends out his mail by
the best available boats. The result
is that mail is despatched from New
York five times a week instead OF
twice as from England; and if a six.
day boat is sailing on the same day
as a nineday boat the former carries
the mail, which is again in strong
contrast to the English system.
The United States authorities have
undertaken to facilitate the move
ment of ocean mails by the establish
ment of sea postoffices on certain
steamers in which postal clerks sort
the letters and make them up in con
venient packages as is done on rail
way mail cars. The British postof-

q better service than one sailing of a

mails would reach their destination
more quickly.
This illustrates just the difference
between John Bull and Uncle Sam
when acting in the capacity of inter
national postmaster. The English au.

postal officials look upon it as purely
