FEW MONEY Orders
ARE sent ABROAD
Foreigners Are Chary OF
Conditions During
War
GREAT DELAY
is FEARED

Fear that their money would not
reach their homes IN war-strlcken
Europe. the foreigners working IN
this city and vicinity are sending
only a small percentage Of their
earnings. TO their families and rela-
tives at this time. Inquiry at the
money order division of the Will
mington postofiice disclosed the Tact
that there has been a considerable
decrease in the money business done
at the local Office since the war be-
gan Money orders can now be sent
safely to every country of the world
with the exception OF Austria, Bel
gium and Egypt The money order
service with these countries has been
i suspended temporarily.
This fact does not seem to lessen
I the fears of the foreigners who form-
erly made it a habit to send money
home at regular intervals. They are
afraid that even should Uncle sam
manage to get the letter on the other
side of the water it might be six
months before IL is delivered and as
these foreigners also know that there
have been no American ships sailing
for Europe. recently. they feel that
the delay in getting the money would
be too great.
In the suspension of service with
Austria the greatest letter writing
nation in the country is cut on 10
is said that Austrians are the most
natural letter writer's living and this
fact is authenticated at the Whining
ton postOfice, for with only a COM
paratively small number of Austrians
and Hungarians living here, there
we're formerly 200 to 300 letters re-
ceived from the dual kingdom week
ly.
Persons remitting money orders
are warned not to attempt to send
more than 500 i'm one remittance to
any one person. The high rates OF
exchange which have been brought
about by the war have tempted the
spectators to get hold Of such remit
tances and they are making money
at the expense of the depositors anc
patrons of the posto1ice Despite
the war, the postofIice departments o.
each country have been able to main
tain an exchange at par and this has
been temptation to spectators wh'
can get hold Of money orders.
The third assistant postmaste
general has. therefore. warned tn
clerks of the local money order divi
sion to issue no orders in excess q
800. If it is desired to send NOR
than that sum. the money must b
divided into two money orders, cor
. signed to different members of th
. same family OF party abroad.
Few foreign postmarked lettel
e have been received at the Wilminl
ton Office since the outbreak Of Il
war Many letters. which have bee
dispatched during this time, az
doubtless being held up at the port
New York.
There is a pathetic feature to thi
letter writing question that shoul
not be overlooked Several hundre
families of foreigners in this cit
alone are anxious to know the fate Z
loved ones in that terrible confiic
Some can find no encouragement fc
they know not the fate of brothe

New York. We have noticed in the New York of whom argue that since d doubt has arisen whether Becker melted the murder the who were convicted of having carried the wish of Becker should be allowed equal benefit of the doubt.
 There are several errors in this contention. In the first place new evidence in favor of the innocence of Becker was offered found. It shown only that he had been deprived of his rights in the trial court; that the attitude of the openly preiudicial possibly to have af feced the jury. Tn fact. it was so openly preju- dicial that the suspicion was entertained that the court then laid the ground for d reversal in of the conviction of Becker
 But the most important thing is that the gun convicted of acting upon Bcckel's wishes instructions but of murderng or p;trtici- pating in the murder of Rosenthal Whether they melted that crime by Becker is terial far their is concerned.
 Though they probably were melted and though Becker may ultimately free, have bearing upon the matter of their guilt in- Rosenthal murdered whether Beckers instgation not, and the gunmen convicted of the murder. Related evidence their favor held by justice of the New York order for a trial

The New Telephone Directory

The local gentlemen of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company will please cuse our delay in congratulatng them upon the appearance of their directory IL is model telephone directory. We say this the more will crticise directory then issued by the company which seemed rather an advertising pamphlet in which the and numbers of the patrons of the company appeared only casually, for the pur pose of filling the space for which advertisements had not been secured The instructions to users of telephones sandwiched in among ad- vertisements that was a time-c suming job find them
 Some may have thought that The Republican resented the advertising competition of the teie phone company but it did not, since that kind of advertising.
 But the new directory is free from every ob- jecton that then urged well from that were not mentioned. There not only no advertisements set body of the pages but the pages defaced by heavy black face type for which in almost all directories, telephone and city, some patrons pay a bonus to make it appear they citizens of unusual import ance Every page is clear except a1out the mar gins where it is legitimate and proper to put ad- vertisements That part of the book containing instructioYs to users and general information to patrons is likewise free from obscufing matter.
 The directory appears have been compiled solely for the convenlehee of patrons of the tele- phone company and source of additional revenue th.. company.

WATER AND THE INDIANS


 It is interesting to notice how their characteris-
 tics differ with the landscape and climate in which they live. Personal cleanliness, for example. IS a case in point. On the highlands, the vast Mexican plateau where, after the burning heat of the day the nights are often piercingy cold and where water is always abundant. the Indians are filthy. In that region everything is irrigated eX- cept the Indians The clothes they wear literally fall to pieces their backs before they get new ones and although few years ago the municipal government of the City of Mexico opened extensive public bathing facilities for the poor, these places avoided by the people until the police arrested many of the mand compelled them fer the first in their lives take bath But you get farther down toward the coast, into more tropical part of the republic where there many noun tain streams, the change in their personal habits is striking. Every bathes and puts clean clothes every Sunday; and finally, when you reach Yucatan, the southernmost state, the Maya Indians scrupuOusly clean, most of them bathing and putting clean clothes every day
 So much for the Indians, who form by far the greater portion of the population-but how much greater nobody knows. For, account of the In dians. it has been possible accurately take the in Mexico They dread anyone asking them direct questions and at the mention of that terrible institution, the man. whole vil- lages have been known flee to the mountains and hide for weeks.-Chares Macomb Flandreau.
