GIVES DIRECTIONS ON
HOLIDAY MAIL RUSH
Postmaster General BurIeson
InstruCts PoStmasterS How
to Handle Parcel Post.

Anticipating a record breaking use
OF the parcel post during the ap-
preaching Christmas season, Postmas-
ter General Burleson today issued in
structions to all postmasters regard
ing the handling Of the big holiday
mail. Encourage your patrons TO do
their Christmas shoping early is the
substance of the detailed Instructions
given by Mr.. Rurleson.
The deDartment advises postmasterS
TO post big placards telling parcel
poSt users how to properly wrap their
packages and to purchase Shipping
tags for them in advance OF their
presentation at the windows. This
would save time. Special collection
windows are to be installed in the big
offices. Emphasis is laid upon the
necessity of properly wrapping all per-
ishables The Instructions conclude:
In order TO expedite the acceptance
Of insured parcels from sendsrS who
do not secure tags in advance, the de-
partment suggests that special win
doEs or spaces be set aside in the
lorbies of the larger postoffices as in
iOrmation bureaus, where tags may be
distributed and senders given infor-
nation and Instructions as to the in
sursnce Of mail and the making ont
OF tags. In some offices it may be
possible to accept the parcels and
have the main items Of the tags made
out bS employees without OBTAINING the
sender longer than is necessary to get
the declared value and give a proper
ly completed receipt coupon.
1T Is believed by the postal authori-
ties. also, that many business houses
whose shipments of insured, c. o. D.,
and registered parcels do not Justify
ordinsril~ the use of form registra-
ion hooks could make very effective
use II them during the holiday
reriod. PostmaSters will encourage
such PATRONS to adopt form registra-
toin hooks. Their use renders it un-
necessary to fill out the mailing Of
fee and sender's receipt on the insur-
GnCe and C. o. D. tags"

In a word, Russia has demonstrated
that she is not the Russia of the Japa-
nese war. Her soldiers fought well
even then. but her generals were either
timid or inefficient. Kuropatiin, re-
treating deliberately until he should
have superior numbers. lost the Will
to strike when the numbers came. But
the battle of the Vistula has proved
the Russian generals having retreated
can advance.
More than this, the manner in which
troops have been moved, concentrated,
sent north and south to the decisive
points, proves that Russian high COM
mand is skillful and possesses neces-
sary resources.
1t is natural to compare the eastern
and western positions, and there is re-
semblance. Thus, as Germany rushed
forward to Paris. only to be halted and
thrown back to the Aisne, she has

PembertOn.

The ordinance providing for grading,
curbing and laying sidewalks on Eliza
beth street was defeated at meeting of
council last week. This action is much
to be regretted. Other towns in Bur-
lington county have been much improv-
ed and benefited by such ordinances,
and none have regretted the action. AS
usual the directors were much in evil
dence and quite noisy. Those who were
in flavor of the progressive movement
did not make much demonstration, ex-
pecting that the ordinance would be
passed. No community ever had any
concerted improvement unless if was
enforced by an ordinance compelling OBJ
jectors to join wide-awake and up-to-date
residents in completing any movement
for the public good. Jonathan HI. Kel-
sey and Isaac w. Budd deserve credit
for standing by their convictions and
voting for the ordinance in spite of the
clamor against it. Mr.. Kelsey, who has
served as solicitor for several years with
out charge, was so ill-pleased with the
action of council, that he rendered his
resignation as member of that body.

A Point Personal.
,ditor. Mount Hollv Naws.

Editor, Mount Holly News:
Dear Sir:-The presentation of facts
without prejudice is the corner stone OF
newspaper ethics, and in the report OF
your court news, June %, Curran versus
Robinson and Brennan, permit me to
disapprove of the sense which your re-
porter intended to impart, despite the
evidence offered and the verdict OBJ
| tanned.
| Your version mentions: "Curran at
one time was in charge of the Winslow
Inn, and when he gave up he took with
him some goods that it was claimed did
not belong to him.
1t is selfevident that if such a report
were true, suit for recovery by Curran
would be extremely silly, and would
never be allowed to reach jury.
The following is self-explanatory:
Eighteen months after Curran had
left the Winslow Inn, and while his
property was stored with the LeDucs
at South Park, for reasons entirely salts
factory TO himself, and which he i'm
parted to the LeDuc family in the pres
ence ofwitnesses, he ordered the LeDucs
to keep off the property where he resided,
and short time afterward recovered his
property from where it had been stored.
Some few months afterward (Decem-
Der, 1911 Brennan, accompanied by the
various members of the LeDuc family,
appeared before the Grand Jury at
Mount Holly, and under oath testified
that Curran was no physician, had no
diploma, ETC., and had him indicted.
We will eliminate the obvious and avoid
comment, merely saying that DIR. Cur
ran, instead of not having a diploma as
alleged, showed that he possessed nine
granted by different New York medical
institutions.
Failing to railroad Curran on that
charge, few weeks afterwards (Febru-
airy, 1912 Brennan, accompanied by the
LeDuc family, during the doctors alb
sence, broke into an clubhouse where
over fifty packed boxes were stored, and
opening one, claimed to find some plated
ware, having the initials of the Winslow
Inn thereon; and on several occasions
thereafter made several hauls on the
doctors property.
The suit heard on June II, and which
you reported, was based on the claim
that the finding of the plated spoons
was simply plant, and recovery was
sought for the actual goods taken. a
verdict granting 5000 damages is vindic
atory and final.
AS several suits will be entered by Mr.
Palmer on my behalf, it would be en-
tirely improper for me at this time to
discuss what jury later on will deter
mine, and in the meantime, | remain,
Yours truly,
Nj. w. CURRAN. !

Thomas w. Ross, who has been on an
extended trip to the Pacific coast and
other parts of the United States, re-
turned home last week.
A special election will be held in this
township tonight to vote on proposition
to raise So, 900 on bonds, for the erection
of a four-room school building.
The wedding of Arthur p. Cannon, of
Camden, and Miss Hazel Woolston, of
this place, occurred on Wednesday at
the home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert H. Woolston. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. William
p. Harrison, of Brooklyn. The bride
was attired in a gown of white char
meuse with shadow lace. She carried
bouquet of white carnations and sweet
peas. The maid of honor, Miss Sara K.
Davis, of Medford, wore dress of white
French wolfe over pink, and she carried
bouquet of pink roses and sweet peas.
William Cannon, brother of the groom,
acted as best man. After dinner had
been served, the couple left on trip to
Niagara Falls, Washington and other
places. They will reside at Beach Haven,
where Mr.. Cannon is employed by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
