The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-12-16

WASHINGTON Dec. AT the in
stance Of the executive committee Of
the American Red Cross, the Secre-
tary of State has instructed Ambas-
sador Reid at London to sound the
British authorities as to the advisa-
bility of permitting the use of Ameri-
can Red Cross Christmas stamps on
mail addressed to the British pos
sessions.
Five foreign governments have
placed restrictions upon the use of
Red Cross stamps. Four of the coun-
tries-Great Britain, Orange River
Colony, Southern Rhodesia and the
Transvaal-refuse to admit to their
mails packages bearing such stamps.
Germany admits packages bearing
the stamps if they be affixed to the
back of the letter or parcel, but not
if they are affixed to the face.
MISS BOARDMAN SURPRISED.
In speaking OF the situation today
Miss Boardman said she saw no rea'
son why the postal authorities OF
countries receiving letters bearing
Red Cross stamps should obpect, as
they in nowise interfere with the
! business. of delivering letters
eve anticipate little trouble" de-
clared Miss Boardman, and believe
the. course of Great Britain and the
other countries will not affect the
sale of stamps"
Employees of the dead letter office
are expecting trouble. If foreign
countries return letters and packages
bearing Red Cross stamps the begin
ming of the new year will see a flooC
of returned mail in the dead letter
office.
In most. cases senders of Christ
mas letters and packages do not pu'
return addresses on them. It will be
difficult for the dead letter Office &c
see that all Christmas presents ge
back to those who sent them.
OSTENSIBLE AND REAL REASON
The objections to the use of tn
Red Cross stamps is based on pro
visions contained in article XII sec
ton /, of the universal postal con
vention, which reads:
Prepayment of postage on ever
description of article can be effectet
only by means of postage stamp
valid in the country of origin for tn
correspondence of private individuals

use, in the international service, O

APPEAL TO GREAT BRITAIN
TO ALLOW RED CROSS STAMPS

object special and peculiar to the
country of issue, such as the so-called
commemorative postage stamps OIL
temporary validity.
All countries which have tabooed
the Red Cross stamps quote this pro
vision as furnishing their technical
reasons.
CLERKS APT TO MAKE MISTAKE.
Clerks handling letters bearing Red
Cross stamps are apt to mistake
them for real stamps. They see
letter bearing regular postage
stamp and Red Cross stamp and, IL
it should feel a bit heavy, they as
sumo the Red Cross stamp covers
the extra postage and omit to weigh
it.
The Red Cross authorities have
placed on sale throughout the country
/ millions of Christmas stamps" the
proceeds of the sale of which are to
be devoted by the society to the work
of fighting consumption. The stamps
will be good in the United States, bur
care, it is stated at the Post Office
Department, will have to be exercis
ed in their use on letters or pack
ages intended for distribution in for
J eign countries.

CHANGE AT ORPHEUM.

A complete change of program will
be made at the Orpheum this evening,
six big vaudeville acts and a farce
comedy entitled "a Friend of the fam
ily' being the offering of Jack Golden
and his fine company. This new bill
is'one of the best yet made out by Mr.
Golden, and is intended as the open
err for the Christmas season. To
night and for the remainder of the
week the house will almost surely be
crowded, so it will be best to phone 6S1
for reserved tickets.

COLDS ARE DANGEROUS.

If more people would make an at
tempt to get rid Of the colds from
which they are suffering, as a result of
this changeable weather, there would
be a decided decrease ii the number
of cases of pneumonia. A few doses
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy win
cure your cold and all danger Of its
hanging on until spring and resulting
in pneumonia may be avoided. For
sale by all dealers, Benson, Smith &
Co., agents for Hawaii.

A notable step in the preliminary
work of selecting the site for bridge
across the Hudson river, to be built
Jointly by the states of New York and
New Jersey, was taken when the gov
ernors of the two states recently In.
srected the two sites which had been
selected as the most available. one a,
18th street. and the other at Fifty.
ninth street. A bridge at Fifty-ninth
street would cost $4,000. 900 and one
at 10th street, 100000 900 The Fifty
ninth street site was favored by the
governor OF New Jersey, ard the 179th
street location by the governor of New
York. A bridge at 59th street would
have the great advantage OF provid.
ing a direct route from Jersey through
Fifty-ninth street and over the new
Greensboro bridge TO Long Island
Furthermore. II would tap one of the
