Washington, Aug. 2s-Serious iDconven-
fence in handling the mails from particu-
lar localities is being experienced by the
postal authorities on account OF general
use Of adhesive stamps other than United

In view OF the trouble experienced from
the use of the Red Cross stamps during
the last Christmas holiday period Post
master General Hitchcock issued a general
order that no adhesive stamps except Uni
ted States postage stamps should be at

package Tens Of thousands Of stamps are
being issued, including Panama Exposition
stamps. state exposition stamps and what
are known as the Mcnamara legal defence
fund stamps, authorized by the American
Federation Of Labor.
Thousands of letters bearing such stamps
on the diverse side Of the envelopes are
being received in the Dead Letter Office.
The problem Of handling letters bearing
such stamps is SO serious that It was de-
cided by Postmaster General Hitchcock
that no stamps resembling United States
postage stamps may be used on either the
diverse or reverse side of mailed eIiVe-
lopes. This order will eliminate from the
mails absolutely the Red Cross stamps and

tails Of the system might be worked out

territory, IN cities ana IN the railway Hlhlto
simultaneously would embarrass seriously
the whole country, for IL scarcely could be

cluttering up every postof1ce in the coun-
try.
BY working out a system by degrees,
however, We shall be able 70 extend the
service with no inconvenience or embar-
basement TO anybody. II Will require an
immense increase of both carrier and cieri-
cal forces, but. once established, II would
be If enormous value to the people.
