chandise for mailing during the holiday
season last year. Mr.. Hitchcock states.
more than 1900 parcels intended for
Christmas or New Year gifts were sent
to the division of dead letters. OF this
number nearly 5000 were for delivery in
foreign countries. being held as unmail-
able because the senders neglected to
place their addresses on the wrappers or
to affix the requisite customs declara-
tions, as required by several parcels post
conventions.
Nearly 10000 parcels were mailed with
insufficient stamps affixed: the senders
| having failed to disclose their addresses,
the addresses were requested to furnish
the requisite stamps. and, failing to do so,
the matter was sent to the division of
dead letters. The senders of more than
3, 700 parcels could not be found, as they
were directed in such a manner that their
proper destination could not be ascertained
after inquiry.
In addition to the described unavailable
matter, more than 5000 valuable articles
were found loose i'm the Christmas and
New Year mail Of last year. as a result
of having escaped from their wrappers
through negligent or improper pac King by
the senders.

TWO FORCES BUSY
Lawrence Assumes Military Air
as Armies Gather.
OkIahOmans, Red Army, Are on
the Way.
BY HAL COLEMAN

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 14.-Already
Lawrence and especially Woodland
park is beginning to assume the air
and appearance of a military camp.
The first detachment of soldiers has
reached here. The troops were from
FCrt Riley on the way to Olathe to
join the Blue army which is being
mObiiized at that point.
From now on for practically two
weeks there will be soldiers all about
Lawrence, in camp, on the march and
in battle. A big war problem is to
be developed and Lawrence will have
an opportunity of witnessing some real
warfare. To all intents and purposes
the soldiers will be engaged in a real
war. Regular war time tactics will be
employed in every detail. Regular
army officers have been appointed to
referee the maneuvers.
The first of the Red army will ar
rive in a few days and will Immediate
ly &C into camp at Camp Woodland.
They will be the National guards from
Oklahoma and are now on their way
to the seat of war. Two regiments Of
Missouri guards have also been sent to
Lawrence and the two Kansas regi-
ments will be modified here. In ad-
dition to these there will be about
1000 regular troops from Forts Riley
and Leavenworth.
Most of these men will be in camp
by Saturday while few may not ar
rive until Saturday night or Sunday.
However, Dy sunday nlSn- the entire
force of the Red army will be in camp
and ready for the beginning of the
maneuvers. There is but one excep-
tion Company H of Lawrence. This
company will not go into camp until
Monday morning, the day when the
real maneuverS begin.
Company A, the Kansas University
company, is to be mobilizel en- the Uni
ve1 sity campus west of the gymnasium
the latter part of this week The men
in this company are scattered all over
the. state, but will begin TO arrive soon
and will be ready when the call to arms
comes.
The main column that will take part
in the maneuvers left Fort Riley Sun
day. The soldiers camped at Manhattan
Sunday night and at Wamego Monday.
The plans are for them to camp at ST.
Marys tonight, Silver Lake Wednesday,
Topeka Thursday, Perry Friday, and
reach Lawrence Saturday about noon.
This column will consist of ten troops
of cavalry and five batteries of artil-
lery, There are about 65 men to =, troop
OF cavalry and about 140 to each bat
terry of artillery.
Major Harry A. Smith of Minnesota,
has been ordered by the War depart
ment to Lawrence to act as umpire of
the operations of the week and will.
pass judgment upon all of the fine
points of the maneuvers.

Will DO HIS BEST.
Senator Curtis Trying for Time So
to Save Topeka Agency.

Senator Charles Curtis is using his
influence to postpone the abolishment
of the several pension agencies un'I1
January 81. 1913, with a hope that a
bill can be introduced during the early
part of next session which will provide
for the consolidation of a number and
the total be reduced from eighteen to
nine. A w. Smith. the local pension
agent, received a wire from Senator
Curtis this morning in which the lat
ter asserted that the adjustment could
not be delayed any longer than Janu-
ary 81. 1913.
Senator Curtis was called back to
Washington before the actual result
of the primary was known that he
might assist the regular forces in
working to retain the numerous
agencies. Two votes were taken by
the conference committee while he was
in Kansas on a campaign for renomi-
nation. One of these was on an
amendment to delay the abolishment
of the agencies to December 81, 1912,
which was defeated by small major
ity. The second was for the abolish
ment of the agencies at once and this
was lost on a tie vote
If Senator Curtis and the other
members of the senate who are work
ing with him are successful in amend
ing the general appropriation bill to
provide the continuing Is agencies un-
til this time they believe they will be
successful in getting bill passed dur
ing the first two months of the next
session which will provide for retain
ing nine agencies. If they are suos
cessfuI, this will mean that the agens
cies will be arranged in pairs and coSoS
solidated.
A. w. Smith. the local pension agent,
believes this will be accomplished. In
that event, the Topeka agency would
be consolidated with some other, prob
ably Milwaukee, Des Moines or San
Francisco and the office may be re-
tanned in Topeka with an enlarged
clerical force. Senator Curtis wired a.
w. Smith that the controversy would
likely be settled or agreed upon by the
conference committee today.

The house wants all abolished. The
senate pensions committee today de-
cided TO suggest a compromise by abol-
ishing the agencies on February 1, 1913.
The whole bill was scheduled TO come
up in the senate today with an
amendment to that effect. 1t is be-
lieved the house will accept it. Nearly
SO 900, 900 is now due to pensioners.
Washington, Aug. 14.-The veterans
dependent upon pensions, who are feel
ing the pinch of poverty because the
pension office is broke are not alone

regulars at army posts in the United
States have received no pay since
