the agents declared. a mistake was
made at Newport News in clearing the

said, should have contained the con-
signee's name. The coal was shipped

name as soon as they heard from New
York.

Vatican Organ Encouraged by Tone

ROME. August 2. via Paris, August 3.
Discussing the many messages ana
statements issued in various countries
on the first anniversary of the war, the
Osservatore Romano, official organ OF
the Vatican, says:
Reading these foreign messages, we
are pleased to note that the language
adopted has been modified in tone, so
that in a sense 1t is more pacific, or
more humane. In place of inexorable
war cries and proposals to annlhilate
the enemy. there begins to be substi-
tuted a more humane accent. Although
|circumscribed, we see in this the pos
sibility OF discussion leading to
peace. 1t is most comforting sign,
although very weak as yet"

Settles Long-Standing Problem.

long standing problem of the trans
portation of public money. For twen-
| ty-five years the United States Express
Company had the contract, charging 20
| cents a thousand dollars to nearby
| points, such as Philadelphia and New
York city, up to 81 for shipments to
| San Francisco. The charge to San
Francisco, in the early days of the
| contract. was s1.50 a thousand dollars
| The contract netted s375,0OO during
three years. of which s245,OO0 was re-
| imbursable by the national banks.
| When the United States Express
Company went out of business bids
were asked from all express concerns.
| The offers for transportation of moneys
| did not prove acceptable to the gov
ernment Secretary McAdoo took up
the question in his annual report. He
| regarded the rates charged as excess
| sive, especially in view of the posi-
bilities of the postal service. These
/ offers were not accepted.
Experiments Are Successful.
| The Secretary of the Treasury, with
the cooperation of the Postmaster Cen
eral. undertook experiments to deter
mine the facilities of the postal serv-
ice In a number of shipments made
the saving was enormous, without add
ing to the risks or removal of any

While the order issued today by Act
ing Secretary Newton is operative Au-

for some weeks. The saving to the
government, it is estimated, will
amount to hundreds of thousands OF
dollars every year.
