How 10 use Red CrO,s Seal.

The Postoffice Department has APP
proved of the Red Cross Christmas
Seal design being used this year, and
the seals may, therefore, in accord
ance with Order No. 5000 of the Post
Office Department "be affixed to the
reverse side of domestic mail mat
ter
Red Cross Sc ais must be placed only
on the hack of letters and not on the
address side of any packages that are
going through the mail. They may
be placed anywhere on matter going
by express. AS many seals may be
used on the back Of letter or pack
age as may be desired. Care should
be exercised in sending merchandise
through the mails ne { to place seals
over the ssring with which the pack
age is tied, since this seals the pack
age against inspection and subjects
it to frst-class postage rates.
Red Cross seals may be used on
the reverse side Of mail matter sent
to Austria. Germany, Great Britain,
and most of the British Colonies ex-
cept India and Australia. Gua,emala,
Uruguay and Portugal refuse to ad-
NIT mail be airing non postage stamps.
Red Cross Seals may be used on the
face of checks, on bills, on legal doc.
uments and on any commercial paper.
This Christmas seals are not good
for postage. They will not carry any
mail matter, but any kind of mail
matter will carry them.

STILL HAS HOPES
FOR GRETNA CAMP
Sale Believes Demand Will In
fluence Congress-Artillery
Not Affected

Without having definite knowledge OF
an organized movement. Adjutant-Gen-
eral w. W. Sale believes that there will
be sufficient demand on Congress to
insure an appropriation for JOINT ma
noeuvrc camps. Whether this will
come in the form of a special bill. with
this end alone in view, or whether the
army appropriation bill will be re-en-
acted in such shape as TO command the
signature of President Taft lie is not
prepared TO say. lie thinks that the
demand Will produce the desired results.
AS it stands, all preparations for the
various manoeurre camps to be par
ttcipated in jointly by the regular and
militia troops have been halted. AS a
result of the veto of the army bill by
the President because OF its provision
regarding the qualifications of the
chief OF staff, no money is available for
this or any other army purpose, except
for the few SURPRISES left over from
last year.
Fort Riley Camp stands.
1t is understood that one OF the eX-
ceptions refers to the camp for artil-
lery officers at Fort Riley, Kan. which
Will not be interfered with. Nearly
all the officers of the Virginia artillery

The publication of the fact taet the
Mount Grctna camp has been practi-
cally called off has thrown the Virginia
militia into confusion. Officers ana en-
listed men in large numbers had Sc
cured leaves OF absence from their en-
ployers and had made arrangements TO
go to Mount Gretna. Pa for a stay of
ten days. 1t is feared that many OF
these have now made other arrange
ments regarding their vacations. espe-
cially where Inconvenience would have

moments. His body was brought TO
