NOTICE TO CONGRESS.
Stimson Takes Action as to
Money for Maneuvers.
QUICK ACTION IS NEEDED
Otherwise Joint Encampments Of
Regulars and Militia May Have
to Be Abandoned.

50 that Congress may have ample no.
tice that the failure on its part to imrne-
diately provide the means for carrying
out the plans already laid for Joint en-
campments and maneuvers of the militia
with the regular army would involve
their abandonment. Secretary Stimson
addressed letter to Chairman Hay of
the House committee on military affairs.
This was done because of the published
statement that the President and the
War Department might properly be
blamed for the stoppage Of the functions
OF the War Department by delaying the
veto OF the army appropriation bill until
il was too late for Congress to adopt re-
medal legislation. 1t is stated that so
far from the President withholding &C
tion on the appropriation bill. as charged,
he did. in fact. return his veto within
twenty -four hours after he had received
the bill
Therefore. Secretary Stmson has felt
II proper TO again give warning or the
serious blow that would be dealt the
militia through the failure of the army
bill. and he has attempted to make II
easy for Congress. even In its present
crippled condition. to save the militia by
proposing that an act be passed appro-
priating 81 3oJ. GOO for the joint encamp-
ments leaving the army bill as a whole
TO be dealt with thereafter.
Tentative Plans Made.
Secretary Stmson in his letter states
that his reason for doing this is that
the tentative arrangements for these
maneuvers have all been completed and
the organized militia have entered into
them in perfect honesty and good faith.
The War Department has already au-
%.,,~~ a.
GO to prepare the camps for the recep-
ton OF the militia and regulars and other
purposes. which large sum will be prac-
ticaliy lost unless supplemented by this
additional legislation The various states
also have already made their arrange
ments and authorized large expenditures,
which will also be lost. Seventy thou
sand officers and enlisted men of the
militia are to take part in these drills.
In anticipation Of the passage by Con-
gress Of the bill carrying sl.350OO for
joint maneuver camps for army and mill
tia, the War Department is continuing
its plans for those camps.
1t has already started the movement
of two infantry organizations toward the
camps. These are the 18th Infantry, now
marching from Fort Mcpherson. Ga. to
Admission. Ala. and a battalion of the
Goth Infantry. at Fort Porter. New York.
is its way 10 the camp at Mount
Gretna. Pa.
However. unless Congress provides the
money before the organizations finish
their journeys they will return without
going to the camp.
Tuesday the garrison at Fort Myer,
composed of the first squadron. 18th
Cavalry, and second battalion. Sd Field
Artillery. is TO begin march TO the
Pennsylvania camp. unless plans are
changed. The militia will not begin the
movement until July ,. and then only if
Congress passes the appropriation.

CHRISTMAS DEUCE AT
 NORWICH POST OFFICE
Avalanche of Post Cards, Packages and Other Matter Started Saturday.

The Christmas deluge of packages, post cards and mail matter of all sorts started in at the local post office on Saturday with rush and for the next few days the employees will be kept hustling all the time. The heavy run of Christmas mail has commenced much earlier than usual this year. On Saturday, with Christmas still four days away, over 100 sacks of mall were sent out. On Sunday there were also heavy outgoing mails and on two mails about 50 sacks were received.
 The three substitute carriers start ed in on Saturday to help out the reg ulars during the holiday rush and will continue until the amount of mail drops once more to normal This morning the three substitutes will re- lieve the other carriers of the larger packages. which they will deliver by express team, The packages are of such a size and quantity that it would be impossible for the carriers to de- liver them without such an arrange ment. The employees at the office were kept busy up to a late hour Sunday night sorting out the mail already re- ceived for delivery today.
 While the holiday rush is on every available inch of floor space as well as the various racks holds a quan- tity of mail. Three bins have been constructed temporarily to hold the packages and the postmaster's office on Sunday contained many packages. Here the special carriers who are to be in charge of the team delivery today were busy arranging the pack ages in the order of the streets on which they must be delivered. The smaller packages are tied up in bun dies according to the locality in which they are to be delivered.
 Postmaster Caruthers eproposes to keep the work caught up each day. to avoid the confusion and delays which would result if the matter was al- lowed to accumulate as 1t does in some offices. On Christmas afternoon, said the. postmaster. there will be hardly package in the place.
