Orderly Confusion Exists Back of the Scenes--Par- cels Rushed Through the Proper Channels Mail Delayed Unayoidably

Back of the scenes of the Phoenix postoffice is no place for an idle man. one feels in the way even if no hurrying clerk is trying to dodge, and even if no huge truck load of parcels of mail pouches happens to hit one squarely in the back. For it is a season of speed, efficiency and economy at this Phoenix postoffice. Not very much floor space is being wasted on footpaths. Racks, piles, of parcels, tables. sorting stands are everywhere But there is no confu sion. As much as everything seems jumbled, everything is in its right place.
 Anent the postoffice situation, Post master c. B. Wood issued the follow ing statement yesterday:
 The rush at the postoffice continues without abatement. There is more activity in the rear of the office now thaH there is in front
 The early rush comes with pack ages and mail to be sent out to friends everywhere, the later rush is with packages which are received to be delivered within the limits of the office.
 Yesterday and the day before these two currents of mail were crossing each other and there was intense ac- tlvity both at the receiving and dis, patching and delivery departments of the office.
 Ir,1rp xtn of ar in from five to fifteen hours late. The roads and streets are almost i'm passable at places and the facilities fer delivery will be taxed beyond the limit today and tomorrow perhaps. Extra wagons and extra help are be- ing put on day by day, but each has to he under the direction of some one who is more or less experienced in the delivery of mail, and the con- stant rain prevents the delivery of certain kinds, as the wet would ruin them.
 Under a recent order of the railway mail service, postoffices in Nevada and California. if they have not suf- ficient parcels to fill q sack send them to Los Angeles. where they are assembled by the railway postoffice and redispatched in sacks to their ul- innate destination. These terminal stations are arranged all over the country according to districts, the re suit being that letters will sometimes arrive from 24 to 4S hours sooner than the parcel mailed at the same time. Sometimes a parcel will arrive as quickly as a letter This differ ence in time is due to the relative To- cations of the terminal office, the sending office and the receiving of flee. So if there is a discrepancy be- tween the receipt of a letter notify ing. you that a parcel has been mailed at the same time for you and the re- ceipt of the parcel itself, do no blame the Phoenix office for it, fol it may be entirely due to the differ

"GoING UP"
Peace on Earth,
 Good Will to Men

NEW YORK December 23.-Had the European war not interfered there would begin tomorrow night in Ghent, Flanders, a celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the signing of the treaty of Ghent by representatives of the United States and Great Britain. The burgomas- ter of Ghent was to have rendered a banquet to fifty Americans, fifty English and fifty Canadian delegates in the hall where the treaty was signed.
 Later, Sulgrave Manor, the an- cestral home of George Washington In England, was to have been pre- sented to the American people by the British Peace centenary committee The home already has been pur- chased. It probably will be rehab- ilitated and presented later.
 Believing despite the war the an- niversary should not pass unobserved | in the United States, a number of widely known citizens of this coun- try who are interested. in the move ment tonight issued a communication asking that the day be remembered and celebrated at specified dates be- , ginning February If. The communi- cation follows
 One hundred years ago today there was signed at Ghent in Elan ders the treaty of peace between Great Britain and the United States which marked the close of what ha.
 happily proved to be the last wal
 between English-speaking peoples O the earth. Today the city of Chen
 is at the very center of the terrible
 conflict that rages in Europe.
 The American Peace Centenar. Committee cannot permit this ami
 versary to pass without inviting tn
 thoughtful attention of their fellov ! citizens to the contrast presented b, century long period of peace whicl
 English speaking peoples have en
 joyed among themselves on the on
 hand, and the appalling destruction
 of life, property and great monument

of civilization which the European war involves on the other. Ii had been our confident hope that the example which the English speaking peoples have set in their relations with each other would be followed earth in their several international relations. IL has been our earnest desire that the spirit of peaceful and friendly cooperation which each of these peoples manifests toward the people of the United States would also mark their dealings with one another. Unfortunately this was not upon to mark our centenary celebra- tion in the midst of the most terri ble and destructive war that history records.
 Even at such a time, we must avow once more our emphatic faith in the supremacy of justice over force, of law over might. We re- joice in the peaceful relations of a hundred years. among all English speaking peoples, and particularly in the undefended and unfortified line nearly four thousand miles in length, which divides the territory of the United States from that of the Dominion of Canada. The mutual trust, forbearance and helpfulness which make that undefended bound ary link and not barrier between two peoples, we offer as an example to our warning brothers across the sea.
 Tt has been our purpose, when our committee was organized in 1910, to plan for a great celebration of
 the centenary anniversary by various
 methods which have now, because oi the terrible war which is still con- vulsing Europe and disturbing the whole world, become impracticable until the close of the conflict. But we appeal to the people in all the states and to all civic bodies to mark this notable anniversary by
 suitable exercises in churches of all
 denominations on the 14th of Feb
 ruary. the date agreed upon for thai purpose with our associates, the Canadian committee; by formal ad-
 dresses at the capitals of the re- spective states on the 17th and 1Stf l of February; the dates of the ratifi-
 cation and proclamation of the treaty
 and also by appropriate exercise! in all the schools on the 22nd day 0 February. or on such later date o dates in the spring of 1915 as may b. locally deemed preferable.
