 What were the capituIations abro- gated by Turkey in 1914, who insti- fu<ed them and why2
 / About twenty-five years ago Turkey made certain concessions or agree nlents with several friendly nations, including the United States, by which the consuIs of those nations in Turkey were to have extra territorial jurisdic- ton over their citizens temporarily re- siding in the country, with the right to try such citizens upon any charge made against them, according to the laws of their own country. Thus if a Frenchman or an American living in Turkey committed crime he was to be tried by the French or the American consul, according to French or Amert can law and not by the Turkish courts. This was in effect a concession to the other nations and a surrender of cer- tain powers by Turkey. By abrogating these agreements or capitulations Tur- key resumed her former attributes and claimed the right to try all offenders against her laws in Turkish courts and according to Turkish law. Just what the effect will be on foreigners resid- ing in Turkey remains to be seen.

Postmaster Bradley would be glad
to have patrons facilitate the mailing
of Christmas Parcels by mailing them
early, wrapping them securely and ad-
dressing them plainly. Parcels may be
marked "Not to be opened until
Christmas" or with similar directions.
This inscription with early shipment
insures the timeliness OF Christmas
gifts, whereas the practice of mailing
packages late in hope that they will
reach their destination on Christmas
day is likely to defeat its own object
through unavoidable delay due to
congestion of the mails. The name
and address of the sender is required
on Parcel Post mail and should be
written in the upper left hand corner
on the address side of the package.
The name and address Of the ad-
dressee should be written in the lower
right hand corner, leaving space in the
upper right corner TO affix stamps,
