JOHN BULL TELLS KAISER SOMETHING MAY
 DROP IN MOROCCO

London, July 22-English business and political circles are extremely pessimistic, today, over the outloals in the Moroccan situation following David Lloyd-George's statement, last night, that he favored peace "but not at the price of sacrificing the great England has won by centuries of heroism." This is everywhere inter- preted as warning to Germany and indicating that the government pro-
 poses to take a firm stand. The Chan cellor's speech had the effect, today, of starting many disquieting rumors.

XMAS MAIL
In POST OFFICE
MIR. Jester Urges That Gift
Parcels be Sent
Early
DEPARTMENT MAKES
CONCESSION THIS YEAR

Preparations for the usual food of
Christmas gifts and Christmas mes
sages, by mail. are being made By
Potmaster Jester, who anticipates
handling a big Christmas mail. Extra
clerks and carriers will be put on,
to facilitate the distribution of pack
ages. Wagons also will be pressed
into service the same as was done
last season.
Postmaster Jester says the public
can materially assist in the work of
quickly and safely handling the mass
of mail matter which will shortly be-
gin TO come in. First of all, he
makes the request that as many as
possible, who contemplate sending
gifts through the mail, to do so at
once, particularly if the pieces are
to go abroad, thus insuring immediate
and safe delivery. The words
Merry Christmas" Happy New
Year" or similar greetings, and also
DO not open until Christmas" are al
lowed to be placed on the face Of the
mailed pieces, together with the ad-
dress.
Mr.. Jester also informed the public
that it is not necessary to bring
packages to the post office, as they
can be mailed at any one of the
twelve sub-stations in the city and re-
ceive the same attention as if mailed
at the postoffice
Persons who will be away over the
holidays should notify the postoffice
what disposition to make OF their
mail. This is to insure quick service
and should not be forgotten. A
postal card at this time will mater
tally help the service.
One thing the postmaster wishes to
call strict attention to is the placing
of stickers on packages. These
stickers in the form of Santa Claus
heads. Red Cross seals. etc. are fire.
uuently placed over the end of the
wrapping paper, which makes them
sealed packages, and a first class
mail piece, insted of fourth class, as
intended Thus the recipient finds
himself called upon TO pay the extra
cost of mailing. The postal rate for
first class mail is twice that of fourth
class.
Relative to the Red Cross seals,
Postmaster Jester says that each
year hundreds of letters and pack
ages are received i'm the mails, with
only these seals on them. BecauBc
these seals are sold in tho corridor OF
the postoffice does not mean that they
are good for postage. Uncle Sam S
stamps are absolutely necessary. the
Red Cross seals being sold simply as
acharity.
Furthermore, Mr.. Jester said. "Red
Gross seals must be placed on the
backfof letters and packages and not
on the front Some foreign countries
exact this, while in others, packages
with such seals upon them. will not
he delivered at all. Notable of these
latter are Austria, Norway and Por-
tugal such seals, if placed on the
back of mailed matter will be accept
ed bv Great Britain and her posds-
sions. Germany and France, etc.
Russia. France Italy and other coun-
tries make no restrictions whatever.
"One of the most important things
10 do. said Postmaster Jester. is u
he sure to write the name and ad-
dress of sender in the upper left hand
corner of all mailed pieces, thus in
suring their safe return, If not de-
livered.'
