Cavalrynen at Hampton Begin In portant Manoeuvres Today-Army Supposed to Be Retreating Toward Norwich,


 Orders have been received at the local post office forbidding the re- ceiving of mail orders either for Aus tria or Belgium. Beginning with Mon day, it was announced, no mails for Great Britain or the continent would leave Boston, all intercourse being carried on through New York, where the, mails are carried most exclusive ly by ships of American lines whose American registry makes them neu- tral and offers greatest assurance of n0 interruption. This change was ne- cessitated by the fact that all British ships which usually carry mails nav e cancelled their regular mail contracts and no German steamers are leaving the city of Boston. Most of the for eign mail leaving the local office is for Italy. Russia and Greece. al- though Germany frequently receives mail from this town. This change means that all European mills from here are thrown out of their regular scherule since all must now be han died by way of New York, in place of Boston
