NO XMAS STAMPS
ON FOREIGN MAIL

Despite the fact that the postoffice
department widely published that four
foreign countries including Germany
and England. had placed a ban upon
Christmas stamps, several letters and
postal cards have already been sent
by Wilmington people to Englnd. As
a result they have been returned to
the local Office.
Two postal cards and two letters
have been returned. The letters are
addressed TO T. White, Claythorpe.
England, and b. Burris, Ladenham,
Lincoln, England. The senders can
have them by calling at the postofilce.
on each of the four pieces of mail
are Red Cross stamps. Such stamps
should not under any circumstance
be placed on the address side OF the
piece of mail The stamps in question
are not permissible at all in England.
Germany or in South America.
Many persons still have the idea
that the Red Cross stamps will carry
mail. The usual message postage must
be paid aside from these stamps.
Postmaster Jester has placed on view
in the postoffice corridor, a correctly
addressed envelope and also some
don'ts to be followed in sending mail

them another dastardly blow beneath the

OF this meanness on. the speakers part
the insurgents will meet Saturday night
In the office Of Representative Hubbard,
OF Iowa.
Until the insurgents began to insurge
some Of them were chairmen Of commit

large Offices containing long tables and
many chairs For instance, Fowler, OF
New Jersey was chairman of tho banking
aud currency committee and Cooper OF
Wisconsin. was at the head Of the in
.yllsr affairs committee during the sixtieth
congress before they became insurgents.
Now the offices they have over I'm the big
white building south OF the capitol are
Just about large enough for a good sized
man to turn comfortably around in with
out kicking over his clerk and desk.
n even a quorum OF the 80 insurgents
attend the Saturday night meeting Mr.
Mr. Hubbard will be obliged either to
build a gallery around the top Of his room
or pile his friends in horizontally.
