AOoid Delay is
Postal Waning

POstoffices throughout the country
are starting a ship early campaign
along with the merchants efforts 70
get the people 10 shop early. So far
there have been no Christmas pack
ages go through the local Office, but
IL is expected that the holiday rush
will be on in full force Dy next week.
Packages that are mailed now are
sure 20 reach their destinations by
Christmas day, while those that are
sent out few days before are very
likely to be delayed considerably.
The campaign for early shipments is
being put on il order that the par
eel post service during the holidays
may be more efficient and that the
employees in the postal department
may not be overworked on the days
Immediately preceding and follow
ing the holidays.
Suggestions on how 10 pack and
how 10 make shipments probably
will be issued by the local postoffice
within a few days. Each year there
are many packages that are not well
tied up. which cause much trouble
in the rush Of ha adling thousands of
pieces of mail.

ing MOnteVideO as Base
Made at BuenoS Aires.

matte relations between Argentine
and Uruguay are tense today owing
to charges made in the chamber Of
deputies that the city Of Monte
video, the Uruguayan capital. is be-
ing utilized as a British naval base.
The charge was made by Deputy
ZebaIos, when he Intercepted the
government on the seizure of the
Argentine steamer Presidenet Mitre
by the British. The minister Of
Uruguay. who was in the diplomatic
gallery left the chamber angry and
ii is expected that his government
will demand an explanation.
Deputy Zeballos accused England
of creating a procedure entirely new
to international law, which he called
the right of suspicion" in dealing
with shipping on the high seas,
charged that British ships had prac-
tically blockaded the Plate river
since September, 1914. adding:
The republic of Uruguay has also
cooperated in this violation by as
Stunning that the Presidente Mitre is
the legitimate property of the Brit
ish government, thus converting its
capital into a naval base for the de-
tention Of Britains prizes"
The government replied that the
seizure Of the Presidente Mitre was
being considered, but that it would
be impolitic to discuss the situation
at present.
