that in good many cases 1t would be
an advantage if the local post offices
could be "spruced up somewhat in
exterior, appearance. No, the new
project now on foot deals rather with
the inside of the post Office as an
institution and not even here does IT
concern itself with appearances. The
aim and purpose of the movement is
to promote the efficiency of the aver
age post office and this is to be done
by giving the postmaster new and
improved devices for handling the
mail more quickly, more accurately
and more economically than has been
possible with the methods and equip
ment in vogue these many years past.
The governments biggest business
institution, as the United States post
office department may fittingly be
denominated, is not going to attempt
to revolutionize things in all parts of
the country at once. That would be
altogether too much of an undertake
ing from the standpoint of physical
and mental endurance even were it
not for the fact that it would require
so much money that congress would
stand aghast So the new order of
things is to be inaugurated gradually
as are most such crusades and a be-
ginning is to be made in the post
offices of the big cities where the
problems of handling huge and

Are you one Of those toiling, perspir-

rolling green fields and gurgling brooks
that the railway guides and summer

It is planned that in the long range firing
no shot will be aimed at less than 9,OOC

FORT HUNT TO ESCAPE
No Plan to Use Big Guns in
an Attack on Defenses of

That there never was any idea OF con-
ducting mimic warfare on the Potomac
near Washington or Alexandria by hav-
with big guns was officially declared by
Acting Secretary Winthrop of the Navy
Department today. Similar declarations
have been made by the officials Of the
War Department. and the story receptly
published to that effect has been effectu-
ally exploded.
The matter was presented to both de-
partments by a citizen Of Virginia In
business in this city. who said he owned
would be seriously endangered by such
experiments as those reported to be In
contemplation. In his letter OF protest
he expressed the opinion that army and
navy officers are taught only to shoot.
confiscate and destroy" and said that
great majority OF them ''have no more
sense than to do so under any condi-
vate citizens. He suggested in sarcas-
tic way that they select some other place
than Fort Hunt for their sport" where
they would not endanger "the lives anc
property Of those who help to maintain
them
Acting Secretary Winthrop made a brief
but pointed reply to this letter. With re-
contemplated firing against Fort Hunt
with heavy guns he said that the de-
partment has never contemplated nor
discussed any such experiments. And
he added: your opinion regarding army

WILL SINK ALL WRECKS|
DereIict Destroyer Seneca
Searching Coast for Ships
Left During Storm.

NEW YORK, September 1.-The dere-
lict destroyer Seneca OF the United States
revenue cutter service weighed anchor
and steamed out Of the harbor today in
quest of derelicts of the seven-day storm
ending last night. She left without desig-
nation, but will probably patrol the path
of the coastwsse vessels to southern ports.
Relayed s. O. S. messages continue to
reach revenue cutter headquarters telling
OF the loss Of vessels In the gale which
swept the south Atlantic coast Sunday
and Monday.
The schooner Malcom B. Seavey OF
Bath, Me-, which was abandoned by her
crew, has been located sunken of Charles
| ton, s. c. Her crew was taken on by the
Clyde Liner Mohawk. The derelict de-
stroyer Seneca was today ordered to re-
move from the path Of navigation the
wreck OF the schooner Josie r. Burt OF
New York, which foundered last night of
Barnegat, N. J. The Burt's crew OF
eleven were saved by the men OF the
Little Egg Mfe-saving station.
1t is believed final reports will snow
the toll Of the hurricane to be much
greater than was at first supposed. many
disabled or abandoned vessels. yet un'
accounted for. are believed to be drifting
north with the gulf stream. The revenue
cutters are standing to sea all along the
coast to intercept these.
