LACK OF MAIL BOXES
CAUSING TROUBLE
Postmaster Aldrich Calls Attention
to Ways to Help His
Employees

Postmaster Aldrich yesterday issued q
statement asking mercantile houses and
business firms TO place receptacles for
mail at the front entrance OF their build
ing He says that the postman cannot
leave mail at places of business on the
first delivery unless there is hole ~
the door or else Il box.
Following is Mr.. Aldrichs staten snt;
THE postoffice is having difficulty in
delivering mail 10 parties whose offices
are not open when the carrier makes his
first delivery in the morning. When
there are 10 boxes in which to place
the mail, and no openings in the doors.
it will force the carrier TO bring the
mail back 10 the rostoffice to wait FOR
the next delivery
IF outgoing mail could be posted
earlier in the day it would be sent of
that much aisicker. but when everyone
waits until the last minute to mail let
ters 1t is impossible for the office to get
enough men to assert them in time for
evening trains going north or west There
is a fast train leaving here for New York
at o'clock in the evening, and If let
ters We're IN the p.stoffice by O'Clock
We could get them off on this o'clock
train and save loss of time waiting for
lator trains."s

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Riinn

\ motion picture of stupendous propor-
tions, staged on a scale hardly to be
imagined until the films have been seen,
''The Battle of Gettysburg is offered at
the Bijou theatre this week with matt
nee every afternoon and a performance
every night. Yesterday afternoon and
last night the picture was witnessed by
good sized audiences, including a num-
Der of Confederate and Federal veterans,
and they cheered repeatedly at the diff
ferent scenes.
There is a drama running through the
picture. 1t starts in Virginia before the
war and ends after the surrender It
adds Interest to the picture and doesn't
detract from the historical value
The care taken to stage the picture is
shown in the manner in which the horses
and men are trained. Something over 5000
men participated in the fight scenes, and
several hundred horses and cannon were
used. The audience can plainly see the
well trained horses fall at the mouth of
the cannon as they belch shot and shell.
and see the hundreds of Confederates
fall in front of the awful voleys from
the infantry

liable news of the situation wires from
Sofia that King Ferdinand has left for the
frontier, but that army headquarters re-
main at Sofia
The Servian border according to this
correspondent, has been crossed at four
points, at Saichar and st. Nicholas and
two intervening points while the Bull
garians are moving on Pirot and Vranya
with the manifest object of cutting the
railway. From lsgri PalanlSa to Kotchana
the tide of battle is rising and a long
and desperate struggle seems in prospect.
The Greeks continue successful.
The capture of Doiran and Series are
admitted in Sofia. The Bulgarians recog-
nize that 1t was an error to leave their
forces in the south weak? This error is
being remedied.
Severe fighting continues west of
kotchana," he continues, where the
fourth Bulgarian army under General
Kovatcheff, the war minister, is being
reinforced by the fifth army under Gen
eral Tosheff. which is advancing from
Kustendi The fate of the campaign will
probably be decided by the result of the
operations in this quarter.
Within the last few days Istip has been
twice taken by the Servians and twice
retaken by the Bulgarians, and hard
fighting is still reported around Kotchana.
Small Servian detachments have made
raids on Bulgarian territory to the north
