BURLESON WILL CUT
EXPENSE, NOT SERVICE
Says That Congress- Action on the Post.
office Bill Gave Him a Hard
Problem.

Washington, March l5,-Postmaster
General Burleson announced Saturday
that he would take immediate steps to
comply with the joint resolution Of Con.
gress continuing present appropriations
under the conditions, restrictions and
limitations laid down. He is forced to
continue with the appropriation for the
current year as result of the failure in
Congress of the postoffice appropriation
bill
The postmaster general said that un
der the circumstances he will be com
PEELED to institute economies in the sery-
ice and the bureau will take steps to
devise them, keeping in mind that the
efficiency of the service must be main
tanned He continued;
"Although the amount provided for
rural delivery service for 1916 is the
same as for 1915, Congress has directed
that the carriers engaged in that service
get an increase of salary. The resolution
also directed that letter carriers assigned
to collection service who were promoted
under the act of March 2, 1914, and
whose salaries have been reduced during
the last year through no delinquency or
misconduct. shall be restored TO their
former grades. The postmaster general
SAYS that the direction of Congress In
these matters will be carried into effect.
To do this, however, viii require careful
administration"
First Assistant Postmaster General
Roper saws that there is absolutely no
foundation for the statement that many
postal employees as a result of the read
iustment are to suffer the loss Of their
positions or reductions in salary and that
The postal service is to be curtailed."
Mr.. Roper says that the volume Of
mail to be handled during the fiscal year
1915 would not be SO great as expected
and that virtually all economies and
changes have been already made.

TESTING DEFENSES
IN PANAMA CANAL
Submarine Fleet Made "Attaci" and
Made it Uncomfortable for the
Shore Batteries in
Pacific Side.

Panama, March 1.-two units of the
submarine fleet stationed in Panama
canal waters in conjunction with the
coast artillery corps have just complet.
cd Il series of war maneuyres at the
Pacific entrance to the canal with the
view OF testing the efficiency of the short
batteries on the fortified islands. The
two submarines and the mine layer Gen.
j. Nj. Schofeld which towed number
OF barges, were supposed TO represent
Il hostile fleet in an attempt TO run
past the shore batteries and to evade
the mine field that had been planted as
an additional safeguard
The approach of the hostile fleet was
observed from the land forts by means
of the huge search lights which have
already been placed in position. The sub
marines, however, managed TO reach the
vicinity of the forts unobserved and
technically are supposed TO have made
il rather uncomfortable for the batter
les. Part of the hostile fleet was de
stroyed" by the mines over which it
passed. the mines being discharged from
the batteries when the ships were direct
~ over them.
Immediately after the arrival here of
Brigadier. General Clarence r, Edwards,
l.. S. A., who commands the Panama
canal troops much activity began to be
displayed in military matters. A number
Of practice hikes into the interior have
been made and others are contemplated
for the purpose of familiarizing the IN
fantry with the surrounding country. 1t
is now planned to send complete regl-
ment with full equipment through the
Jungle on long hike into the Chiriqui
country along the Pacific coast.
The manpuvres undertaken recently
by the coast artillery and the submar-
ines are for the purpose OF demonstrat-
ing the efficiency OF the forts and TO as
certain what additional Notifications
and armament will be needed SO that
proper recommendations may be made
to the Notifications board when it comes
to the canal zone some time next month.
1t is said that already a number of vital
changes vii be recommended.
II is anticipated that when Major
General Leonard Woow, Z. $. A., com
mander Of the department Of the East,
arrives ON the canal zone, he will have
placed before him several plans for the
housing OF the large number OF soldiers
that will be stationed on the canal. The
most important of these win be the de-
tailed plan for the permanent post,
where the three infantry regiments viii
be stationed.

While the school and fire departments are men toned, because of the fact that they are the most expensive branches of the city government there is also room for reductions in the various other branches of the local government which, although perhaps small. will all
