Toulon. July THE French sub.

be impossible TO salve the submarine

she is lying. The Calypso is of 34i
tons displacement and is 15i feet in
length. She was built in 1907.
The submarine was navigating on the

shock was severe and a great hole was
torn in the submarines side. The boat

with great skill and daring.
The Mousqueton was badly damaged
and put into port. The admiral in

'WIARRING MA TIONSI
TO RESPECT MAIL
First Class Matter win Reach
Its European Destination,
Says Department.

fssEeIAL TO IHE rELxaHAa,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. a.
The postoff1ce department has made
the announcement that letters ad
dressed to European nations at war
or that may become involved in war.
are certain to reach their destination
eventually, although considerable
time may be lost in transmission.
This was settled in the London
Naval Conference Of 190S-19O9
which obligated belligerent nations
to respect first class mail and to for
ward 1t with all possible dispatch,
even when taken from confiscated
vessel. The parcel post. however,
and other classes Of mail are not pro-
tected.
Only one class Of mail is liable to
be held up. The two-cent rate to
Germany, which was established two
years ago. is only for mail which is
carried direct to Germany, these are
most likely to be held up because Of
the tie-up of German liners. How
ever. all two-cent mail. is to be ship
ped on the first German ship to leave.
and if the sailing Of German vessels
is stopped indefinitely, 1t has not
been decided Just what disposition
will be made of that class of mail.
That is one Of the new and vexa-
tious questions which will have to be
settled later by the department.
Despite the curtailment of ocean
mail communication for the present.
the department has determined that
1t will issue International money
orders to all countries likely to be in
volved in the hostilities. Orders
were issued Monday instructing post
masters to that effect. but instructing
them that they may decline to accept
application for international money
orders when made for unusually
large sums, when there is reason to
believe that they are wanted for
speculative purposes.
