REPRIMAND IS
REQUESTED BY
THE EPRES|DENT
Army and Navy Officers
Who Participated in Re
cen Carabao Dinner Who
Satirized Administration,
Will Get Serious Scolding
RY AssoCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 22.-President
Wilson today made public a letter ad-
dressed to Secretaries Garrison and
Daniels. respectively, requesting that
"a very serious reprimand'' be admin
istered to those army and navy ON
GERS who participated in the recent
dinner of the Military Order of the
Carabao, at which the administrations s
Philippine and other policies were sa-
tirized.
The letter follows:
1.-The officers who were responsible
for the program of the evening are
certainly deserving of a very serious
reprimand which I hereby request be
administered, and cannot rid myself
of a feeling of great disappointment
that the general body of officers assem-
bled at the dinner should have greeted
the CARRYING out of such q. program
that it#yiolated some of the most dig
niied and sacred traditions OF the
service.
Il am told that the songs and other
OF the evening were in
tended and regarded as fun What
are we to think of officers of the army
and navy Of the United States who
think il fun to bring their official su-
periors into ridicule and the policies of
the government which they are sworn
to serve with unquestiohing loyalty in
to contempt? IL this is their idea of
fun what is their ideal of duty? If they
do not hold their loyalty above all
silly effervescences of childish wit
what about their profession do they
hold sacred.
MY purpose, therefore, in admin
stering this repriman5 is TO recall the
men who are responsible for this low
ering of standards to their ideals; to
remind them of the. high conscience
with which they ought to put duty
above personal indulgence and to think
of themselves as responsible men and
trusted soldiers, even while they are
amusing themselves as diners Gus.
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON"

The following analysis presents the
details of the new law without adher-
ing closely to the technical division or
language of the measure.
AT the head of the system will stand
a federal reserve board at Washington,
appointed by the president, and consist
of the secretary of the treasury, comp
troller Of the currency and five other
members. Two of these shall be ex
pert bankers, but none shall have
banking Affiliations or own, bank stock
during their service. This board will
exercise general control over the en-
tire system.
The temporary organization COM
or the federal reserve board,
will select from eight to twelve cities
where regional reserve banks shall be
located, and will divide the entire
country geographically with these
cities sas the centers Of districts. All
national banks in a district viii be re-
quired to subscribe for the stock of
dhe regional reserve bank IN that dis
Erict, and to keep portion OF their

Local banks will be known as s'nem-
Der banks because they will own the

ALMOST AS MANY
ARE DELIVERED
Three Wagons Are Used
Throughout the Day
Handling the Parcels In
Addition to the Large
Number Called For At the
Postofice and the Regu-t
lar Service

The business Of the Pensacola post
Office yesterday exceeded In quantity1
by hundreds Of letters and packages
handled on any previous day in the
history of the Office, and indications
are that today and tomorrow win be
larger even than that of yesterday. The,
increased force at the Office handled
the business in a most satisfactory
manner and last night when the hours
came for closing down the stamp and
general delivery and stop delivery by
carriers for the day, hardly one piece
of the mail matter remained IN the
office.
1t was the first holiday rush since
the establishment of the parcels post
and clearly demonstrated that ths
postoff1ce department had planned well
to handle the business. Over 1900 par
cells were forwarded by the local Office
during the day The Teceiving end
was kept busy, two clerks being in
the corridor at a. table, where all par
GELS were weighed by the clerks and
the forwarders told the number of
stamps necessary Where the senders
desired the parcels were insured. In
this manner there was little cpnEes-
ton about the two stamp windows.
which were Kept open eur1ng the Gay.
Every parcel was forwarded during the
day or night and sent on its way to
its final destination.
The parcels received for delivery IN
Pensacola. --o-~ also IaFoe and besides
the carriers had more than their usual
quota of letters and papers for deliy-
cry. Three wagons were kept busy
throughout the day in the work of de-
livering parcels alone, with the result
that every packageN received at the
postoffice during the day was delivered
before night
While the outgoing mail is eXpec4ed
to show a decrease by tomorrow night
it will be about that time that the in
coming parcels post business win be
the heaviest as practically every one
sending a present to a friend in an
other city always endeayors to have IL
reach the city or its destination the
day before Christmas.
EXTEND NIGHT COLLECTION.
Beginning January l. Postmaster e
Fell has planned to extend the night

This will be a. big convenience 70 the

SEWER SYSTEM IS
VERY FAULTY
Says There Was a Lack Of
Particular and Scientific
Care in Securing Right
Joints When the Pipes
Were Laid and Owing To
the Soft Soil the Sewers
Will Always Give Much
Trouble

That the entire sewer system of
Pensacola, which was installed under
the supervision of City Engineer
George Rommel, is defective, and the
trouble not confined to the storm sew
er on CoyIe street, but that a general

ion of c. H. Miller. a representative OF

Ter was in the city recently and made
an examination of the sewers, making
a report of his discoveries to his COM
pany, which has filed a report with
the board of city commissioners. The
commissioners yesterday afternoon and
taken under advisement.
The pipe company in its report says
that they were led to believe from
the correspondent that passed be-
tween them and ENGINEER RouInieI that
confined to the cracking of their S.
inch pipe, but Mr.. Miller discovered on
examination that the sewer trouble at
Pensacola was not confined to the So
inch pipe sewer, but that a general

Lewis took the leading part in es-

operate part of the telephone lines as
