Roumania is friendly to Austria
rather than to the Balkan allies-not
so much from regard to Austria as
because it fears the rise of Bulgaria's
power The mobilization was inter-

determination to help Austria in case
it has trouble with the allies and Rus
sia.
London, Nov. 29.-Vigorous efforts
were made in various quarters today
to awaken "the general European

PARCELS POST SERVICE.
Postmaster Receives Numerous An.
swers to Circulars.

Postmaster Eggborn has received
prompt replies from the merchants
wholesalers and manufacturers of
this city in answer to the circular re-
uuesting information from them On
the probable use they will make of
the parcels post in order to determine
the extent to which the parcels post
service will be ufed. Mr.. Eggbon
has sent out a circular furnished by
the postmaster general, to every busi-
ness concern in Alexandria. From
the replies received it is expected that
the parcels post will be very exten-
sively used by certain classes of busi-
ness concerns in Alexandria.
This information supplied the post
master by local business men is for
the purpose of enabling the depart
ment to make prompt preparations
for the efficient handling of the par
GELS.
From all indications it is expected
that every concern in the city engaged
in doing a retail business and many
wholesalers see great possibilities in
the parcels post and expect through
its use to almost double the business
they do by mail. This should bring
up the postal receipts for 1913 to the
$4,000 mark, which will place the
Alexandria pos,,office in the first class
service increasing the salaries OF car
