STORY OF OMAHA POSTOFFICE

The Omaha postoffice was established May 8,
1854, by the efforts OF Hon. Bernherd Hem, then
a member of congress from Iowa, who also secured
the appointment of A. d. Jones postmaster ia
nous for having carried the letters around with
him in his hat
The first building used for postoffce purposes
a small house Thirteenth street, directly
in of the Douglas house, David Lindley, who
conducted the hotel, taking charge OF the mail as
Mr.. Jones deputy. Mr.. w. W. Wyman was then
appointed postmaster and building at the corner
of Eleventh and Harney occupied the post
office. Mr.. Wyman erected two-story brick at
the northwest corner OF Thirteenth and Douglas,
using the first floor for postoffce and the upper
floor printing office he then being the pub
Usher of the Omaha Times. Mr.. Wymsn
democrat and in consequence OF Mr. LinoOln's cleo
tion lost his official position, and George Smith be-
came postmaster Of Omaha. The office then
moved 10 the building at the northeast corner Of
Farnam and Fourteenth. few years later It
moved to the store room under the Academy OF

Music. Douglas street, and here for a year or
two John H. Kellom postmaster. In 1871
Joel T. Griffin appointed as postmaster, and
the office moved to the A. ]. Simpson building on
Fourteenth street Then Casper Il. Yost became
postmaster and, following the example of his
predecessors, secured a removal of the office this
time TO a store room in the Creighton block, on
Fifteenth street.
The old postoffice building at Fifteenth and
Dodge streets, now the Military Headquarters
building. which cost 5000 900. was commenced in
1870 and finished in 1874. In 1873 when the de-
livery system established there were but six
carriers. In 1889 through the efforts OF Senator
Henderson and Congressfan Mcshane, a govern
ment appropriation of S1,2OO0OO, was secured for
the erection Of new postoffice building, the cost
OF the site not to exceed S4O0 0OO the old building
proving entirely too small for the growing needs
In the spring of 1892 the contract for the basement
was let and the work continued to completion when
the building was occupied and later enlarged 10
its present dimensions.

Development of Delivery

The system OF delivering mail by carriers at
the houses and offices of persons to whom 1t is
addressed first introduced in the United States
on a small scale in 1868. In 1855 free delivery
was extended to all places having population or
1000 and such places in the opinion of the
postmaster general might seem expedent. In 1873
the system extended to all cities of 10000 in
habitants over. and in 1887 to cities of 10000
inhabitants whose postal receipts amounted to
10,0OO, and later to still smaller towns Provision
was made in 1886 for special or immediate delivery
OF letters within certain limits upon the payment
of fee OF 10 cents in the form of special stamp.
In 1896 an experiment Of delivering mail to in
habitants Of rural districts tried. The results
were 80 satisfactory that the system has been
largely extended. until today scarcely person
mains in any part Of the country who can not have
his mail brought to him IL he so desires

MUST NOT USE
AMERICAN FLAG
Note to Great Britain Hints at Break in Cordial
Relations If Practice is Continued Germany
Warned to Safeguard U. S. Shipping in War
Zones

WASHINGTON, Feb II. - The +;
United States has warned Great Brit |
ain and Germany respectively that
general use of the American flag by
British vessels would be viewed with
grave concern here and that the de-
struction by Germany Of any American
vessel in the newly prescribed war zone
would lead to serious complications.
In the document which has been
transmitted to Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin for presentation to the German
foreign Office there is a friendly but
pointed statement that American YES
sells should have free and unrestricted
passage through the high seas and un-
.blockaded waters and that destruction
of an American vessel might lead TO a
change in the hitherto friendly rela-
tions which have existed between the
United States and Germany.
While in the note to Great Britain
the representations made are not based
on the Lusitania incident. but to the
statement of the British foreign office
justifying the use Of neutral flags by
4 its vessels, the United States has stated
unequivocally, it is understood, that
a continuance of the practice would be
highly dangerous to neutral vessels and
would be viewed here with the deepest
anxiety.
The text of the two documents are
Expected to be published by the state
department tomorrow. Among diplo-
mats here the fact that the United
States has taken pronounced stand
created profound impression. No
joint representation with the United
States on the same subject has been
made by way of the neutrals though
the various foreign Offices through min
listers here have consulted the Amcri
can government as TO its attitude.
I'm official quarters it was declared un
likely that the use of the American flag
by the Lusitania OF the 0rduna would BE-
selected for the subject Of protest or di
plomatic correspondence The American
government. however, denies the right o.
the general use of the American flag, leav
ing, it is said, the inference that the on,
OF two incidents which have occurre,
might have been justified under the cir
crmstanccs. There is no question. accord
ing to those familiar with American gov
ernment positions, that the issuance of OF
, ders from the British admiralty, as Ger
many alleges, authorizing the Use of tn
American flag would be disapproved

to these Emperor William returned

thoater and at once held q prolonged
military conference, summoning numer-
Gus well known leaders.
According to the correspondents of
several neutral Danish newspapers
Emperor William finds the situation
generally hopeful, but he is described
as greatly depressed over the terrible
cost in men Germany had to pay in re-
turn for comparatively limited ad-
vances against entrenched Russians.
One account reaching Paris by way
of Warsaw places the German losses

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Administra-

fight over the ship bill at an early confer
ence today between President Wilson, Sena-
tors Fletcher and Simmons and Represen-
tative Kitchin 1t was decided to stand
behind Senator Cores substitute for the
bill now pending in the senate.
As the situation developed at the capital
the plan appeared to be to relax the fight
in the senate while the Gore substitute
was being attached az an amendment to
the Weeks bill in the house and meanwhile
some appropriation bills would he disposed
of by the senate
The plan seemed surely to forecast an
extra session. The Gore substitute CON
tains provisions safeguarding neutrality
IN the purchase OF foreign ships. and other
proposals which. it is understood, command
the support OF some of the Progressive Re
pubhcans and probably some of the Demo
cratic insurgents Under the new plan
the present bill, which has drawn a hos
tile tilibuster, would be allowed to be
buried in committee and the Gore substi
tute would be forced out Tor immediate
consideration.

GERMANS GIVE UP
LODI IN POLAND
Unofficial Report Says That Stronghold Captured
Dec Has Been Evacuated Allies Win Ad-
vantageouS Point in France Kaiser Concerned
Over Heavy Loss of Men

Evacuation by the Germans of LODI,
next TO Warsaw the most important
city Of Russian Poland, is reported uu-
officially today from French sources.
Recent official statements show the
Russians opened AN attack along the
Warsaw front several days ago, but
the heaviest fighting was being carried
ou some distance north of LODI. which
lies southwest Of Warsaw, about half
way between that city aud the Ger
man border.
Today report says the Germans are
removing their supplies to Kalisz, near
the border, and that they are resumiug
construction of lines Of fortifcations.
LODI was captured by the Germans on
Dee. during their drive at Warsaw.
which was halted 80 miles west of that
city.
Reports of the campaign in the Car
pathians are conflicting, although it is
agreed that heavy fighting is in prog
rcss. Pctrograd's claims of victories
are not admitted i'm Berlin where. it
is stated, that the Austro-German
forces are making progress steadily.
One of the most stubborn fights on Il
French battlefield is said to have been
won by the allies. For six weeks the
hill of Notre Dame de Lorette in north
western France had been in dispute. In
winning possession Of this hill the al
lies have gained an important advan
toge since the position dominates the
surrounding region.
