FOREIGN MAIL
is IMPROVED.
Several Important Changes in
Post Office Service Go Into
Effect Today.
RETURN COUPON A FEATURE.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-Two i'm
portant changes in the regulations
governing foreign mail matter be-
come effective today, as result of
the agreement reached by the uni
versal postal congress in Rome last
year. These stipulations supersede
those of the postal convention sign
ed in Washington in 1897, and gov
ern the exchange of mails between
the United States and other countries
except Mexico, Canada and Panama.
with which this country has separate
conventions.
The most notable change effected
is in the reduction of letter postage
to all countries included in the uni
versal postal union. Formerly the
rate was five cents per half ounce
but under the new regulations the
rate, beginning today, is five cents
for the first ounce and three cents
for each additional ounce.
Another innovation is in the in
PRODUCTION of a reply coupon, which
when presented at postoffice of any
country that is a member of the pos
tai union, will entitle the person pre-
senting it to a postage stamp equiv
alent to the value of a five-cent
United States stamp. The coupon it.
self will be sold for six cents. the ad-
ditional one cent being charged for
printing and recording. The arrange
ment was made so that persons in
this or other countries could write to
correspondents in foreign lands, en-
closing the value of stamp for re-
ply Incidentally, also, the coupon
will enable person to pay small ac-
counts in foreign lands without 60
ing TO the trouble of securing a
money order.
Five millions of these coupons
have been printed by the universal
postal union at Berne and distrib-
uted among the various countries.
The reply coupon, which was pro-
posed by Great Britain, is the nearest
thing to a universal postage stamp
that has ever been adopted.
Postmaster Tice is making his report
of the business done at the local office
during the past quarter.
The one-cent stamp books, which are
to be sold here, as stated in the NEWS.
have not yet arrived. These books will
be similar to the two-cent stamp books
now sold here. The price of the stamps
and a cent extra for the book will be
charged.
The postmaster has not as yet re-
ceived word when the return coupon
will be received.
