The Boom in Postal Cards.

From the American Illustrated Magazine.
To the boom in picture post cards
the postmaster general Of Great Brit
ain ascribes a decrease Of IN per cent.
in the number Of letters delivered last
year In London. There were delivered
in the United Kingdom 734, 500, 900 pos
tals-an increase Of nearly 20 per cent.
and Of these 80 per cent were pri-
vately printed. The per capita allow
ance of postal cards in the Kingdom
would be seventeen to each person. In
many localities in the United States
the postofflce facilities have been
by the excess of souvenir pos
tails, while on the boardwalk at Atlantic
City riots have been narrowly averted

to supply enough 1-cent stamps to meet

Talked With Any Candidates.

PRINCETON, y. j.. January 1S-
President-elect Wilson reiterated tonight
that he had made absolutely no decision
as to the personnel of his cabinet. and
added that thus far he had not con-
sciously conferred with any prospective
candidates.
II would not do that" he said, until
L had finally made up my mind to pick
a man. i have not consciously consulted
with any future cabinet members" and
added as an afterthouSht, though
might have consulted with some men
whom ] might subsequently choose.
Mr.. Wilson again expressed his belief
that it was unlikely any of the men
whom he selects for his cabinet will de-
cline TO accept the portfolios offered
them 1t had been suggested to him that
many men were loath to give up their
business to enter the cabinet. He said
he realized the sacrifices that were some
times necessary.
A cabinet position. too" he remarked,
els a very responsible one. where you
don't get very much credit for Your sue
cesses and catch it hard for your fail
ures.'
He anticipated little delay, however he
said, in getting acceptances from such
men as he might choose for the various
portfolios, and said that not until he
had made up IA complete slate would bt
begin to consult those whom he had
picked out.

Dispute Is Long Standing.

The federal soldiers were ordered to
take possession of the north pier at
Buffalo by Secretary of War Stimson, at
the request Of Attorney General Wicker
sham. The government has disputed the
Lackawanna railroads right to the pier
for many years. The Department of
Justice is said to have convinced the
Secretary Of War that the United
States had a clear claim to the property,
and r. T. Strickland, an attorney of the
department. left Washington few days
ago for Buffalo with Secretary Stim-
sons order. United States Attorney
O'Brian. at Buffalo, consulted the At
torney General several times in the gov
ernment's efforts to reject the railroad.
Acquired by United States in 1926.
The governments claim to ownership of
the pier it is said, is based upon more
than fifty years continuous undisputed
occupancy. The pier was acquired by the
United States in 1926, and no question of
ownership was raised until 1873, when
it is declared. the railroad became "a
squatter and acquired foothOld. In 1910
an order was issued by the government
fOrbidding the railroad boats to dock at
the controverted pier. Permits since,
however. have been issued by the War
Department granting temporary Occu-
pancy OF the property. The last permit
expired in December and was not renew
of government supplies and equipment for
harbOr improvements. 1t was charged
that the railroad boats were an ObStruc-
tion to navigation.
