1915 MOST EVENTFUL

Enormous shipments of gold from
this country, TO Europe during the
first few mopths Of the war. and the

The Philadelphia mint has also done
record business in striking coinage
for South and Central American coun :
tries. on account of the war. Former
ly most Of this coinage came from

milk for babies in the central empires

Suspended In November.
He added verbally: THE Postmaster
General authorized me to make this
statement, which WAS written in hts
office and agreed upon by us as all VIC
would say about the matter"
Parcel post relations between the
United States AMI the central empires
we're suspended early in November
when the Holland-America steamship
line, which had csen ACCEPTING parcel
post mail, served notice on tire Post
office Department, through ::uperin-
tendent Maddox that it would discon-
tinue the service. Nc explanation was
given as to the cause Of the d!scon-
tiEuance.
At the Postoffce Department it was
said the United States can send first
class mail anywhere in the world under
The terms of the universal postal treaty
signed by all the nations at Rome in
1906 The United States has a separate
treaty with each nation for the hand
ling Of parcel post. and the treaty does
not obligate the foreign nation to trans
port parcels beyond it's own borders.
Therefore, Great Britain and Holland
cannot be compelled to transport par
cells to Germany, according to postoffice
officials.
Babies Need Milk.
DR.. Won Mach, however, takes the
view that article 10 of the universal
postal treaty specifically mentions par
cells as one of the classes OF mail which
all the nations signatory to the conven-
tion must transport to their destination.
DR.. Won Mach says the babies OF Ger
many and Austria Hungary are badly
in need Of milk because the supply Is
short. He seeks to have the parcels
post between here and Germany re-
opened so that his committee and in
dividua1s in the United States who wish
TO send milk to Germany may do so.

Importance of n we,l-balanced feet.

essential parts of the modern fleet. but
have not vet demonstrated that they
possess n DrepOnderant value.
That Great Britain has lost few ves-
sells during this war is an assertion
| made by DR.. Daniels. whose letter to
Congress is regarded as, an lluminat ting
document. The communication is in re-
sponse to Instructions in the last navel
bill to the Secretary Of the Navy to
report from his observations of the
European war. regarding the building
of four warshps best suited for war on
the water. and also to report on the
value OF dirigibles, balloons. and subna-
rines.
Dreadnaught Ideal Type.
After an analysis Of the advantages
of dreadnaughts. scout cruisers, battle
cruisers. and submarines Mr.. Daniels
supports the dreadnaughts as the ideal
congressman kitchin, Hensley, and
other opponents of the naval program
who contend that submarines and aux
iliary vessels are preferable to battle
ships.
After a discussion of the European
war lessons. Mr.. Daniels says Of the
submarine:
MY conclusions are that an adequate
number OF submarines must be in
cluded in any well balanced naval prof.
ect Of new construction, but that they
have not demonstrated that they pos
sess q preponderant value over other
requisite types
Secretary Daniels says significantly
that the department is in receipt OF
much. confidential information regard

but this information cannot be made
public.
Home Conditions.
Bringing conditions home. the Secre-
tary says:
'In addition to the enlightening ex-
pointed out that several times during

full war manuevers have been under
taken by the United States Navy for
tn purpose of investigating its present

the unanimous opinion of the respons-
ible officers engaged that. for the do
fense in question, an adequate supply
of proper scouts is essential. 1mpro-
vised scouts. such as destroyers, are

Secretary Daniels says the aeroplane
and balloon have demonstrated, in the
European war their value for obscr-
walton and scouting purposes, both in
land and sea operations.
