RECIPROCITY AN ISSUE
AMONG THE CANADIANS
Premier Expected to Advocate
Liberal Policy Toward
United States.

MONTREAL. October S.-EXtraordinary
interest is felt throughout the Dominion
in the speech to be delivered by Sir VII
frid Laurer. Canadas premier. in Non
treal Monday night. The premier during
the past summer made a tour OF the west
ern provinces 1t was his first visit in
ten years. Everywhere he was beset by
delegations from grain growers and other
organizations with petitions for better
trade relations with the United States and
for an increase in the Canadian trans
portation facilities.
Favors Liberal Reciprocity.
In his speech Monday night the pre-
mier will give the answer to these petit
lions. He will practically recast the poll
cies of his government. 1t is said on ex-
cellent authority that the premier will
declare unequiyocally for q generous
measure of reciprocity with the United
States, and that he will detail the steps
already taken and about to be taken TO
bring about that end. Eastern Canada,
including the large manufacturing inter
ests, Is against reciprocity and in favor
of an enlargement Of preferential trade
relations with Great Britain. The pre-
mier's utterance is, therefore. expected
to make reciprocity burning issue In
Canada. In addition the premier will en-
large upon the governments transp0rta-
tion policy and defend the plan for a Ca
madam navy.
Demonstration of Loyalty.
Added Interest IS lent to the meeting
in that it is intended to make it a DEM
onstration of personal loyalty on the part
Of Sir Wilfrid's French-C Canadian COM
patriots. The premier's position as the
leader of his race in Canada has recently
been challenged through the French-Ca-
madam press, part of which is attempting
to place Henri Bourassa, ex-member of
parliament leader OF the nationalists, in
that position.

Rainy Sunday Indicated.

For the first time i'm many moons
Washington will have rainy Sunday
today. At least that was the substance
of the weather program for today as
outlined at the weather bureau last night,
the forecaster declaring that all signs
pointed to a partly cloudy day with occa-
sional showers. Fair weather Is promised
for Monday. but there is no likelihood
that continued sunshine can be expected
again until the balmy days of Indian
summer roll around.

CANNOT SIT WITH THEIR GIRLS.
Midshipmen to Be Denied Former
Privilege at Foot Ball Games.

Mindless and their girls will no longer
see foot ball games at the Naval Acad-
envy sitting side by side. Capt Bowyer,
superintendent of the academy, has just
issued an order that all midshipmen must
occupy seats at games only on the grand
stand reserved for members of the bri-
gade.
A section Of the grandstand has been
reserved for the girls. 1t is near the
section reserved for the midshipmen, and
is labeled relatives and. friends of
midshipmen. To mitigate the situation
the midshipmen will be allowed to visit
the girls between the quarters of the
game, but the midshipmen must return
to their own stand after each intermis-
sion. The object Of the order is to make
more concerted the cheering given the
team.

tute the backbone of the American postal
system. They must be familiar with the
location of from 5000 to 10000 post
offices. Each clerk must be able to tell
instantly on what road given post office
In the state he works Is located, must
know through what junction points a
letter dispatched by him to that office
may pass, and a multitude of other de-
tails that can be mastered only by very
retentive minds. A letter addressed to

any evening but Saturday evening will
reach its destination quickest by one

reach it's destination quickest by another

The dissolution of the Finnish diet by
imperial decree has appeared inevitable
since September %. when President Swim
bufvud declined to submit two imperial
bills on the ground that they were the
direct proposals of the Russian minis
terial council instead of the emperor
The measures concerned the rights Of
Russian subjects in Finland and the es-
tablishment of tax in lieu of personal
military service. The attitude of the diet
was decided upon at a conference of the
leader and followed the adoption by the
Russian duma Of legislation giving the
body legislative authority over the diet.

Thirteen Divisions
in Railway Mail.

organized division Of the postal service.
Every postmaster in the country must
transact his business direct with the de-
paftment at Washington. This involves
long delays I'm the passing of correspond

Ice directly from Washington.
There Is a division of foreign mail,
which has oversight of all mail business
between the United States and other
countries. The sea post offices are pre-
sided over by foreign clerks on ships
coming to the United States, and by
American clerks on ships going from the
United States. The United States pays
out $25O.OOO in freight charges for the
transportation of empty mail bags,
postal cards. stamped envelopes and
newspaper wrappers.
Although it is generally recognized
that the express business of the coun-
try Is greater in volume than the mail
business, it costs Uncle Sam several
million dollars more to transport the
mail than it costs the express COM
panies to handle their business over
the railroads There are more than
$4,000 star routes in operation in the
United States. They carry the mail
to points not reached by the railroads
The number of such routes has been
greatly cut down by the rise of rural
