ing System.

Granville NJ. Hunt, the present super
intendent OF the registry division of the
Washington city postofhce. has had a
varied experience in postal matters.
When the cry for help was raised by
the eaguered legations at Pekin in
1890. soldiers were poured into China,
and while 1t may be said that the Con-
stitution does not always follow the
Tag. 1t can be truthfully stated that the
pOstOffce follows the soldier.
For the purpose Of providing facilities
for the soldiers, The Postoffce Depart
ment detailed six Of its employees who
were well versed in the handling Of mail.
Mr.. Hunt was placed in charge as postal
agent. He, together with his associates.
reached Tal0u, in the Province Of Pc
chill, early in September, and there
established an office.
In order to supply the demands. it
soon became necessary to- establish Of
fees at Tien-tsln, Peilin, and Shanghai
lIuan. After the Offices were established
the question OF how to get the malls
TO the States presented itself. Through
the cooperation Of the quaTteTmaster's
department an arrangement was effect
ed with the japanese to transport the
malls from Tahu TO Mojl, and from Moji
20 Taku. For this service the Americans
were to haul the japanese mails from
the boat landing at TakU to the train,
and from the train at Tlen-tsin to the
japanese postoffce. This arrangement
continued until the departure of the
American troops
The arrival OF the mail in camp set
everyone on edge, and many amusing
incidents occurred, Long before the

the number OF sacks would be doubled,
and on the day of its arrival some wise

would be brought up that night.

registered. OF this number. 10,124 were

About 800 worth OF post route maps
were sold to GeTouauts who took part
in the recent St. Louis balloon races.
Orders for maps followed one another
