REAVIS FINDS OUT
WHAT RED TAPE is
Congressman from First Nebraska
District Has Roundup with
Postoffice Officials.
PART OF HIS MISSION CARRIES
CFrom a staff Correspondent

(From a staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-(Spe-
cinal Telegram. .)-Cngressman c. F.
Reavis of the First Nebraska district,
who has been in Washington for sew
eral days, has demonstrated that he
has fighting qualities, to say the
least. Mr.. Reavis came to the capital
for the ostensible purpose of seeking
an annulment of a proposed change
in mail deliveries in Lincoln and
vicinity.
Naturally his first call was upon
the fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral, ames NJ. Blackslee, who has
charge of the rural mails. Mr.. Reavis,
new to the official life of the ma
tional capital, presumed that a log
ical presentation of reasons why
certain reports made by inspectors
reducing the number of daily deliv-
cries of mails to homes In the vicinity
of tn epenitentiary should be
amended, If not wholly abrogated
today found out that the fourth as
sistant's office was honeycombed
with red tape.
He found the fourth assistant post
master general unresponsive to his ap-
peals for an amelioration of conditions.
Argument would not move MIR. Blackslee.
Facts had no interest to him. He only
knew that the inspectors stated a saving
would be made If the mail deliveries
were reduced and the democratic party
must make savings.
AccOmPIishes Cne Result.
Thoroughly put out over his treatment
at the hands OF the fourth assistant, Mr..
Reavis had a conference with Postmaster
General Burleson, with the result that
the report of the inspectors with rela-
ton to Station A, city OF Lincoln, Is
disapproved and the station will be con-
tinued.
A reinvestigation of the change from
city carrier to rural delivery In north
west Lincoln and Belmont, has been
promised.
The report OF inspectors with reference
to rural deliveries in Lancaster county
has been disapproved In certain minor
particulars and changes will be made to
conform thereto.
Notwithstanding a most vigorous pro-
test on the part OF Mr.. Reavis, made to
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Blackslee and presented to Postmaster
General Burleson, no change will be made
in the report of inspectors, regarding a
change on rural routes from two to one
delivery a day.
Rural service Cut.
"The department takes the position, -
said Mr. Reavis today, that two deliver
les should prevail only In city carrier
service and is not i'm harmony with the
principle of rural service. Two deliveries
day on rural routes have been diseon-
tinued nationwide,
The service as modified. will go into
effect September /. The postmaster gen
eral has promised to send an inspector ia
Lincoln September Is to hear objections
to the service after it has been tried"
Representative Reavis and his son
Jack, who have been in Washington
since Monday. will leave tomorrow for
Falls City.

ice in France.
Four ex-cabinet ministers including
Messrs. HOwden, Coldweil ami Armstrong,
were criticized for their reluctance in
testifying and Sir Redmond Robin, eX-
premier the report said, made common
cause with tho contractors to resist The
inquiry and took an active part in se-
curing for the contractors able counsel
for that purpose" The report charges
that Howden made many false state

ing to the report which claims such
amounts were paid him by the contractor
when received from the government.

Pctrograd. Feb. li-hII the fighting on
in state of transition. but apparently
two great %sttles are in progress, one
east of the East Prussian frontier. the
other in Bukowina.
In both places the Russians have with
drawn before superior forces of Germans
and .iustrians. The fighting in the Car
pathians for the moment is Ovcrshadowcd
by these great battles.
ON the extreme right of the Russian
position operations have spread as far as
.JurburG. This town lies on the right
bank of the Nicmen, seven mills east of
the Russian-German boundary line. Just
beyond the line. to the west is the Prus-
sian town Of Schmaleninken. the terminus
of one OF the German railways. which
runs from tn. frontier.
No further than eighteen or twenty
miles to the northwest scparted from the
Nicmcn by an immense tract of swampy
forest there is another of these tcrmini.
The Two branches come together a
couple of miles north of Tilsit. To
the south of TiIsit the railway
branches into three lines. so that the
Germans have abundant facilities for
the rapid concentration of troops in
this region. Their past efforts on
the right bank of the Niemen were
however. singularly unsuccessful. In
til recently they had very few troops
on the, north side of the river. Moth
ing further has become known as to
the hghfing to the west of Marggra-
Bova. which was reported in the Of
fetal bulletins Friday evening. In
the LyCk zone. however, 4 German at
tack is reported to have been re-
pulsed with heavy losses. The Rus
sIans are offering determined resist
ance to the German advance on Os-
troleuka.
At present there is nothing to indi
cate where the Germans intend to
the main force of the
blow which they are planning to de-
liver from East Prussia.
The following statement was issued to-
night from headquarters of the gen raj
staff
The engagements on the right bank
of the Nistula are developing.
"On the MISUNDERSTANDING front only
skirmishcs have occurred.
In LyCk and in the Rayarod Graevo
