In former years a journey to Florida
meant. among other things, sight OF
thousands of snowy herons. A trip down
any of the rivers on one OF the little
stern-wheelers was sure to reveal hun

birds in a whole season there now. Along

its tributaries they nested in thousands,
filling the air when distributed like some
enormous white cloud. In those days they
did not confine themselves TO tropical
regions, but wandered as far north as
Maine. On Long Island the gunners were
well acquainted with them. and as late
as 1910 few were noted in South Caro-
lima.
These dainty birds Of the South fall
without the pale of protective celebration.
Against the dark green Of mangroves or
cypress their snow white forms stand
out like canoes. Deep in the interior of
the Everglades handful of the once
powerful Seminole Indians are making
their last stand. In these same wilds

'BURLESON PLANNING
IMPROVED SERVICE
Postmaster General Has Employees in
Field to Make Reeommendations
to Increase Efficiency.
MANY COMPLAINTS ARE FOUND

In a statement made public yesterday
by the Postoffice Department the work OF
Postmaster BurIeson since ne TOOK once,
on March 5. is summarized. II Is as
serted that the new Postmaster General
found his office besieged with complaints,
attributed mainly to:
Undue stress placed by the former
administration OF the department on
economy at the hazard OF injury to pos
tai facilities. which in some instances so
impoverished the service as to make It
necessary for the new administration to
act quickly and drasticaily in order to
save the integrity Of the service and
bring relief to the people.
The difficulties OF the situation were
intensified by the rapidly increasing vol
ume OF business brought by the, parcel
post which went into operation January
i, 1918, and from the adjustments made
necessary under the eight-in-ten law"
AS soon as possible postmaster Gen.
eraI Burieson started work 10 remedy
the situation. There were many vacan-
cies for postmasters. nearly ali wnicn
were filled. Hundreds OF petitions for
rural free delivery routes were dIsposeu
Of and as a step toward expediting the
mails the Postmaster General ordered
that the understanding OF mail be dis
continued.
Many of the changes which postmaster
General Burleson has put into effect
have TO do largely with the internal
workings of the department, but their
effect will be felt throughout the entire
service. Among these are the consoIida-
ton or the DIVISION OF stamps and Re
demption making possible substantial
improvements in administration and
methods; changes in parcel post stamps
that Will effect an economy OF SSO,OU a
year in the cost OF production and
greatly facilitate their issue and hand
ling in the service and their use by the
public; the issuance of new stamp
book to contain two denominations or
stamps. I cent and = cents, and new
method OF distributing supplies to fourth
class postotfices, whereby they are sent
in bulk to some central point in each
State, whence they are redistributed
with no delay and a considerable saving
in transportation charges.
number Of experienced officers OF
the department are now employed IN the
field studying conditions. with a view TO
recommending remedies wherever defects
IN methods may ne discovered.

ALBANIANS VISIT VATICAN.
Catholics in New Kingdom VIII
Have Austrian Protection.

Rome, June s.-A delegation of AL
banian Roman Catholic priests called
at the Vatican today to discuss the fu-
ture status of the church in Albania
after that district becomes a free
kingdom. Cardinal Merry del Val
papal secretary of state, received the
delegates, and Pope Plus informed the
visitors that the Catholics in Albania
will be under the protection of Aus
tria.
1t is feared that religious war be-
tween the Christians and the fierce
Mohammedan tribesmen will follow the
creation of a new government in AL
bania. This would make the presence
of Austrian troops necessary to pro-
tect the lives of that country's reli-
gious proteges. In this way Austria
might eventually secure virtual domi-
nation of the new kingdom.
