Great Reunion Opened With $4,000

(By Associated Press)

Gettysburg, Pa, July despite
the efforts of the Regular Army to
.,rovide for veterans, thousands of old
Noldiers spent last night on the bat
tletield with nothing to sleep on and
shelterless. That was not the fault
of the regulars, and not the fault OF
The veterans. Railroads did the best
tley could, but train after train was
delayed, all arriving after midnight,
and arrivals continued until after
daybreak.
Major Normoyle, Quartermaster,
declared that probably tifty-tive
thousand veterans will arrive before
night, five thousand more than the
highest estimates. Every veteran
will be cared for, given tents, food
and made comfortable. Many vet
Grams spent last night around camp
fires, all cheerful, courageous, but
admitted the ground is harder than
in 1868.

NEW CUSTOM RULES.

Washington July THE new
rules marking a sweeping change
in the customs service went into ef-
feet today.
With the reduction of the number
O. customs districts from 162 to 40,
the keynote of the new regulations
is concentration of customs admin
istration in the hands Of the collec-
tors at the headquarters of each dis
trict.
Collectors of customs along the
Canadian border, who for years have
enjoyed perquisites from the sale of
manifests and other customs blanks,
70 longer will receive such gratuit-
les, which, at some ports, where the
statutory salary of the collector has
been comparatively insignificant,
have made the aggregate compensa-
tion Of the collector SIS, 900 to $780,
900 a year.
By the reduction in customs dis
tricts, 113 collectors automatically
will lose their jobs, and other
changes in personnel to effect large
saving.

Washington, July THE collect
on-delivery feature was added to the
Parcel Post Department of the postal
service today. Under the new regu-
lations a parcel bearing the required
amount Of parcel post stamps may be
sent anywhere in the country, and
the amount due from the purchaser
collected and remitted by the Post
office Department. The parcel must
hear the amount due from the ad-
dressee, and the collection will be
made If the amount is not in excess
O. $10O. The fee, 10 cents, is to be
affixed by the sender in parcel post
stamps, and will insure the parcel
tor no more than $50.

vided when the parcel post system
was put in operation, because it was
desired to simplify the work of post
masters as much as possible in the
first days of the service.
After today parcel post stamps
will not be required, as ordinary
stamps may now be used on parcel
pest packages. There will be no
more parcel post stamps after the
