LARGE INCREASE NOTED IN
 PARCEL POST BUSINESS

Assistant Postmaster Edward R. Norman stated last night that the parcel post business for the first 15 days of October surpassed by far that of the first half of April. This would indicate increased trading" said MT. Norman. who cites the following figures:
 There was an increase of 57 de- livered parcels for the first half of October over that of the same period in April, and 402 in parcels mailed. An increase of 45s parcels was noted in the insured parcels and 155 on the C. 0. D. parcels. These figures illustrate increased confidence in the parcel post act and incidentally greater activity in trading"

report in a Vessel paper, hit upon
novel scheme for Furnishing the curl

charge. Visitors are denied admit
lance to the camp, but many get as
near as possible and try to talk to the
captives. A number of these women
were taken in charge by the sentires
and led before the commandant. His
decree was this:
1.-THE women arrested are to be con-
Quoted to the camp kitchen, where
they will peel potatoes for three
hours"
The following manifesto, signed ny
Colonel Won Wieters, commandant o.
the prisoners detention camp at Goer-
litz, is published:
"The three young women who felt
themselves moved to send their pho
tographs to the Russian prisoner
George Hirschberg are requested to
come to the office of the commandan'
and take them away. If they do not
their names will be made public"
Three others, who fell in love with
wounded French prisoners of war anc
became engaged to them, have beer
dismissed in disgrace from their posts
as volunteer hospital nurses. The
commanding general at Strassburg, II

public through the newspaper, iden
tilted them by Christian names, ni
