II will be seen by reference to the
table OF rates OF postage that 1t will
cost more per pound to send a pack
age a long distance than 1t does to
send II a short distance. The rate In.
creases for a package weighing one
pound at the rate OF one cent for

more than IL pounds can be sent un.
der the new parcel post law. II
should be said right here that on the
long hauls the parcel post may not
be able to compete with the express
companies. but that on shorter hauls
II can SO compete. II was the ex
pressed desire OF the legislators and
of the postoffice officials that the par
eel post system should be made OF
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit tC
customers. II is probable that pro
ducers must study the rates of post
age and the convenience of trans
initial and compare them with the
cost and convenience under present
methods before individually a man car
determine whether he is to profit OF
not by the change. Then there Is an
other thing to be considered and
when fuller regulations have been
made to specify exactly what kind OF
things can be sent by parcel post. II
can be said In general way that any
thing can be sent which is properly
wrapped and which will not inJure

The 11-pound limit for a single pack

for some of the articles which have
been named or course, more weight

would be heavier because the IN.

is not great up to IL pounds. and
probably it would increase at no great.

London, November e1.--The formal
suspension Of the Turkish Balkan war
proved only for a day. Turkey rejected
the Balkan terms for an armistice ap-
rarently before the pienipotentiaries
had time to come together at Hadem-
keui.
Kiamil Pasha. the Grand vizier. de-
clared that the allies overtures were
impossible He ordered the COM
mander-in-chief to continue lighting
with the help of the Almighty until
reasonable and moderate conditions
were proposed.
This decision came as an utter sur
prise and diplomats are not wholly
convinced that the Ottoman troops will
really take UP arms again in the
cholera stricken trenches of Tcha-
,aija.
While the Bulgarian conditions, for
Bulgaria 81 acting as the mouthpiece
for the allies, were extreme, stipu-
lating the surrender of Adriapople

holds are making historic defense.

tory except a~nsrroW strip above Con-

they were apparently put forward as q
basis for negotiations
The Porte treated them as an ulti-
matum. and this perhaps IL the ORR
entail method OF beginning negotia-
lions. designed to induce the enemy
further TO show his hand A Balkan
diplomat in London pointed out to-
night that these terms were submitted
merely as an answer to Turkeys press
ing and repeated demands for an ar
mistice, and said:
1T is practically certain that the
rejection will result in a more active
and determined resumption Of hos
tilities. Probably all the allied troops
will now refuse to treat with Turkey
until they are in a pos ton to dictate
perhaps sterner terms in the capital
