FOREIGN
Mail is to Be Sent Not Later
Than Friday, Says Post
master General.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. e.
At least one means Of communication
by those in this country with friends
stranded in Europe is assured by the
announcement today of Postmaster
General Burleson that the weeks ac-
cumulation of mail will be sent, not
later than Friday, by the steamship
st. Paul, of the American line.
The cancellation OF the sailing of
the Cunarder Lusitania caused the
first really important delay in the
sending Of the mail. There is still
hopes of the La Lorraine, of the
French line, being able to clear this
week. However, In case OF her fail
ure to leave port, the whole's weeks
mail will go by the st. Paul arriving
in Cherbough, Plymouth or Southamp-
ton, with only weeks delay.
There is assured from now on at
least one sailing week by the Amer
ican line, and In addition It is thought
that there will be available from time
to time vessels flying the Norwegian,
Swedish or Holland flags, whose sail
ings presumably will not be inter-
fered with.
