Washington. Jan. by direction
Of Postmaster-General Hitchcock. the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing in.
creased its daily output of parcel pos,
stamps from 100000 to 10,0OO.0OO.
From practically every section OF
the country acquisitions by mail and
by telegraph are being made for more
distinctive parcel stamps. Postoffice
officials are positive that no danger OF
la tie-up of the service exists on &C.
count of the exhaustion Of the supply
OF stamps. as sufficient reserve is on
hand here.
Reports received from Postmasters
in various parts Of the United States
indicate tremendous increase in
business on account of parcel post.
but no serious congestion is reported,
and the department has not been re-
quested to furnish any additional as
sistance. Fragmentary reports indi-
cate that the success of the new serv-
ice has exceeded all expectations.
Through the medium Of reports
Hitchcock hopes to be able to make
an accurate estimate Of the necessary
appropriation by the congress for the
maintenance of the parcel post sys-

WITH H0KE SMITH
To Be Important Talk-fest-
Believe President-elect Fa-
vors Reorganization.

Trenton. N. j.. Jan. 7.-senatos
Hoke Smith Of Georgia will confer
with President-elect Wilson tomorrow.
The meeting is regarded as one of the
most important which the president
elect has had since he began to con-
suit the democratic leaders. Mr.. Will
son has not declared himself explicit-
ly in the seniority rule. but the activ.
ity Of Smith and other democrats in
timately identified with the Wilson
campaign has led some to believe
that he tacitly approves the reorxan-
ization movement.
President Wilson also wants to learn
the views Of the Georgia senator COW
ering the possible appointments to the
cabinet. His name has been among
those mentioned for a cabinet port
folio. but 1t is believed he desires to
remain in the senate. Senator Thom-
az p. Gore Of Oklahoma will accom-
pany Smith tomorrow. The Oklahoma
senator has been conspicious In the
movement to re-organize the senate
committee. Both Gore and Smith
have been. since early In the pre-
convention campaign. intimate advis-
ers and supporters Of Wilson.

Special correspondence of the
Intelhgencer
The horror in Ohio and
Indiana has shown our new Pres
idens new light. He has taken
this matter so much to heart at
the loss of life that he has sent
his ablest and best men to the
front with the promise that he,
himself, when this letter is writ
ten, will s. to the front and do
what he can to ameliorate con
ditions. 1t shows that the Dem
ocrltic President keeps in touch
with the whole country and that
nothing can happen that will af-
feet his sympathetic proposition
like the flood in Ohio and Indi-
ana.
Whether the loss in Dayton,
Ohio, should be 5000 or more,
it shows that the President of
the United States has passed on
the situation and whether one
man is dead or not his sympathy
is aroused end his heart beats in
unison with the people Of the
United States. In other words
