 This order (President Wilson's or der of May ? removed the cloak of civil service protection from a large body of fourth-cass postmasters, who had been blanketed into the classified service by President Taft, and direct ed these positions to be thrown open to civil service competition. The ex- aminations will be open to the pres ent postmasters of these offices. as well as to any other persons who de- sire to compete
 Presidents Order Carried Out.
 PostmasterGeneral Burleson stated he desired it distinctly understood it
  is his purpose to carry out the intent of President Wilson's order that these positions be filled in accordance with both the spirit and letter of the civil service law. He added that he does not delegate the power of appoint ment nor in any case is selection made simply upon or because of a r.nn o,,1n Hoti nf Nf gross.
 He stated further he has duty to perform in making selections under the civil service rules; that it Is de- sire to select in every case the most efficient man obtainable, and that in furtherance of such desire he is using and intends to continue to use every available means of ascertaining the best of the men certified to him by the civil service commission.
 No Political Claims Considered.
 And. further, he has directed all letters recommending appointments based upon political considerations be returned to the writers.
 "The postmaster general states he is in earnest in his efforts to obtain the best men, regardless of their po- litical opinions, and whenever he finds in any case he has been misled be- cause of recommendations made for political reasons the fourth-class post master or rural carrier so appointed will be promptly removed from of fice.'

Employees in Lawrence, Mass, Now Working 84 Hours Week, De-

Lawrence, Mass, Nov. 1S.-The union firemen in the textile mills in this city struck. In pursuance of their vote to strike unless their demand for an eight-hour day was granted, the men went to the mills and started the fires, then walked out. The strikers number about 450.

 Many American citizens have reached here from smaller towns in the interior of Mexico They declared that the situation has now reached it's most acute stage. Several business concerns here whose headquarters are abroad have received cabled instruc- tions to send the women and children of their employees out of the federal capital.

Mexico City, Nov. 1S.-Gen. Huerta regards his part in the recent ex- change of communications with the Tinted States as finished. He expects to find no difficulty in carrying out his plan to bring his new congress to full organization, and he continues manning his military campaigns and carrying out his policies of pacifica- ton.
 What further move may be taken at Washington is a question which neither the Mexican government nor the foreigners here find an easy one to answer, but there was noticeable an increasing expression of opinion taat the United States would continue her hands-off policy.
 To Let Them Fight 1t Out.
 This was not predominating be- lief. but those who expressed it point ed out that there was an element at Washington which would be content ed to see the federals and constitu- tionalsts play their own game to the finish. the recent taking of Juarez by the rebel forces being cited as per haps an encouragement of such a dis position at Washington.
 It has been reported unofficially that Chihuahua had been captured.

Artificial Matching and Proper Meth ods of Raising Secret, Patho-

Boston, Mass, Nov 1S.-Turkeys at 15 cents a pound are possible if the right methods of raising them are used, Dr. Charles P. Higgins, patho- logist for the Dominion of Canada, said in a lecture at the Harvard med ical school.
 "The disease of black head has been the cause, more than anything else, of the scarcity of turkeys he said. "They can be raised at a small cost and marketed profitably at 15 cents a pound To raise turkeys successfully, they should be matched by artificial means and should be kept away from ordinary fowls"

St. Louis. Nov. 1S.-The announce ment of the postoffice department that all turkeys that weigh more than 20 pounds are barred from the parcel post has caused the reprieve of many a gobbler and hen that had been re- moved to the death chamber to await execution next week.

 Another thing in the turkeys favor is an additional ruling that they are perishable goods, and will not be car ried beyond the 150mile zone.
