COST OF WAR.

Col. MiIlard Hunsicker, European
manager of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, and oneof the leading financial and
commercial experts in London, said yes
terday that it was nonsense to suppose
that any European power is scheming TO
get into trouble with the United States
in the western hemisphere.
"There is no country in Europe, ~
said Colonel Hunsicker, "the responsible
statesmen of which would undertake to
finance such a war, without consterna-
ton. However ambitious and spirited
the Kaiser may be, the more he knows
Of the pecuniary cost of war the more he
is likely to know that a conflict with
country like the United States waged on
the other side of the Atlantic would be
more expensive than an ordinary enter
prise of this kind. Indeed, | think
such a war would be a financial im-
possibility in the condition of European
exchequers. Look at the vast out
lay required to conquer the Beers.

thing needed for the huge business in

protect them. This could not happen in
the case Of European nation which
looked for a conflict with the United
States. Uncle Sans warships would
cruise the ocean, and woe Detide any
transport belonging to the enemy that

LOST ITS FIGHT.

The administration has practically lost
its fight 10 have Minnie L. Cox, a
negro, recognized as postmaster at In
dianola, Miss, by the white persons of
that place. In closing this office the
President sought to demonstrate to the
population of Indianola that it would
suffer great inconvenience ss the result Of
its attitude. The actual working of the
Presidents policy has proved just the
contrary. When he ordered the office
closed the white element con b.ned AMI
engaged carrier to bring the mail for
them from Greensburg, the latter point
having been decided upon by the Post
Office Department from which to dis
tribute all letters for residents of Indian
ola. This plan has been followed since
then, and has worked satisfactorily. 1t
seems that since the Office was closed a
large number of letters have been sent
to the Greensburg Office addressed to
negro men and women living in Indian
ola and vicinity. Most of these remain
undelivered. The negroes of the neigh
borhood have made no arrangements for
the special delivery of their mail Many
of the letters awaiting call are said TO
contain money due to employees by the
owners of the cotton plantations. Re
Gently they have been advertised in the
Mississippi newspapers as being held by
the postofIice authorities. This action,
however, has had no effect. Practically
no call has been made for them. The
Postoffice Department, therefore, is in a
quandary. Communications have pass
ed between the Mississippi postal au-
thorities and the Postmaster-General on
the subject, and the result will be that
the letters probably will be sent to the
dead letter Office. The department is
thus placed in an exceedingly embar-
rasing position.
