placed in sealed bags before reaching
port. So far no complaints have reach
ed the Post Office Department of this
country that the mails have been tam
pered with by officers Of any warship
hating the liners for inspection.
The responsibility of this country
ends when the mail is delivered at the
proper port. 1t is the duty of the coun-
try to which the port belongs to see
that the pouches of mail reach their
proper destination, or II going to an
other country, are passed on in good
shape to that nation.
While no figures have yet been gath
cred by the Post Office Department to
show just what difference exists between
the amount of mail matter carried at the
present time and during normal condi-
tions, it is known that the mails now are
considerably lighter Probably the chief
written now. particularly on the other
side. where all hands are working direct
ly or Indirectly for the protection of the
respective countries involved
The fact that industries have come to
a standstill has had much to do with re-
ducing the quantity of business mail car
ried back and forth. Nor does SO much
printed matter. such as papers and mag
azines, come to this country now.
The parcel post is not proving SO pop
uar at present, either, as 1t was a short
time ago. Almost at the outset o. hos
tilities both Germany and France asked
that that branch Of the postal service
between this country and themselves be
suspended. Although similar requests
have not been made by the other nations
the amount of matter carried by this
branch of the service has greatly dimin-

Schedules for the shipment of mail to
the countries Of Europe are made up
rection Of Robert L. Maddox, superin-
tendent of foreign mails. These are
printed in the form of large posters about
the middle of each month. With the
rapid and frequent changes of sailing
dates. as previously noted. these bull
letins are soon thickly interlined with
memoranda of these shifts.
Close by Supt Maddox In his office In
the Post Office Department building are
maps showing the routes over which the
steamships sail, the ports at which they
land and the shortest distances between
the various countries. Here may be seen
at a glance how mail can be sent easiest
to any country from a vessel going over
Il certain route.
NAL conditions for ship to cover one Of
these routes is known. This time and
the time it now takes for mail to reach
this country can easily be compared. So
far, however, the delays nave been 80
slight In view of existing conditions that
little thought has been devoted to them.
The main idea has been to keep the let
tiers, the packages and all other forms
OF correspondence moving regularly.
No difficulties have yet been expert
enced-or at least SO far as recorded at
the department-on the Pacific ocean.
Mail gcinS to the far east is being sent
regularly from San Francisco. Seattle and
Vancouver.

Funeral of Man Who
Was ElectrOcuted
MAN WHO CATCHES BIG
FISH WITH HIS HANDS

The body of Henry Hilton, who was
electrocuted in the accident at Rum

al services were conducted by Rev.

number of years has been employed as
a machinist in the paper mill at Rum

Owing to a difference of only four
votes in the nomination of a candidate
for county commissioner in Somerset
county in the recent primary election
on the Democratic ballot. there will

didate is. The reports of the election
as IlTSI COulpjlSQ gave " NODD VI
this place lead of IL votes over Fran
els Parker of Skowhegan, and it was
generally conceded that Mr.. Cobb
had won the election. A week later
another report was given out from the
office of the secretary of State that the
nominee was Mr. Parker, On recent in
quiry by Mr.. Cobb it was learned that
there was a difference of only four
votes. and he is now planning to take
steps for a recount.
