to BE: HELD RESPONSIBLE
Department Says That Postmasters:
Will Be Made to Answer for Par
GELS Which Spoil Easily.
RURAL CARRIERS GIVEN RAISE

Albert Worth, assistant post
master at the Bemidji postoffice, an
nounced this morning that according
to an order which has just been re-
ceived from Washing the post
master will be held responsible for
the acceptance at any postoffice of
parcels that cannot be reasonably ex-
pected to arrive at their destination
and be delivered without spelling or
otherwise depreciating in value, ac.-
cording to circular letter issued by
the postoffice department under date
of Aug. T.. H. -
The postmaster, on receiving a
parcel in damaged or spoiled condi-
ton, should report the facts to the
department and he is also instructed
to bringto the attention of persons
mailing parcels Of perishable matter
the desirability of securing special
delivery treatment by affixing the
necessary additional postage.
Postmasters are also required to
effect prompt delivery of all perish
able parcels arriving on Saturday
night and Sundays and it is especial
" desirable that these should bear
special delivery stamps. s.
Beginning with the first OF August
the pay of the rural mail carriers
from the Bemidji pos*office was in
creased in sums ranging from $40
to $76 annually. This was in COM
pliance with the law recently adopt
ed by congress under which new
schedule of salaries for rural CARR ers
went into effect in the Unitel States
whereby some get substantial in
creases, while the salary of Others
remains the same. Under the new
schedules the maximum salary is
81 200 per annum, instead of $l,1O0
as before.
Out of 1922 rural carriers in Min.
nesota only 257 will get the maxi
mum salary. The others will get
small increases.
The postmaster general is given
the power to regulate the salary OF
carriers whose routes are less than
rs miles in length.

London, Aug. 2O.-Northern and
Eastern Belgium are a solid battle
line. S
The first real struggle for posses
sion of the gateway through Belgium
toward the French frontier is in prog
ress.
Fighting has been continuous for
nearly forty-eight hours. Despite the
strictest censorship in the history OF
the world it is evident that the allied
armies are being hard pressed be-
tween Waterloo and Brussels. Ger
many's great fighting machine. her
wonderfully trained infantry. is be.
ing pushed forward all along the line.
The army of the Meuse and the
first army of the Moselle have COM
bined. Their lines stretch far from
the Dutch boundary south into Bel
GUM and Luxembourg. One section is
attacking the Namur Notifications.
The fate Of Liege is unknown. 1t
is cut off from the Belgian lines. No
word can be gotten through regard
ing the fate of the forts. The Belgian
war office says they still remain in
tact. Unconfirmed reports from Brus.
sells and from Dutch sources state
that finding it impossible to with
stand the fire of the heavy siege guns
the Belgian defenders dynamited and
destroyed the forts.
Brussels Will Fall.
That Brussels will be taken is &C.
oepted here as practically certain.
All of the London papers say 1t will
be asking too much to expect the al
lied armies to keep the Germans OF
of Brussels They point out that the
German forces engaged total more
than 100000 and that with reserves
packed in the rear the kaiser has
total of close to 100000 men available
for the first offensive operation.
But they insist that it will be i'm
possible for the Germans to reach the
Belgian-French boundary.
That the British troops are engag-
ed in the present fighting is believed
likely. The censor refuses to permit
any word of their position to be
sent. But Earl Kitchener's great in.
terest in the Belgian fighting is con-
sidered sufficient proof that they are
engaged.
Many rumors were circulated of the
capture of Brussels. They were met
with persistent denial from the Bel
gian legation.
There is no truth in these reports,
said the legation. Brussels is still
in the possession Of the Belgians. A
very severe battle is in progress east
of the city, but we consider the Bel
gian position satisfac tory. s
