ADHERE TO FIRM STAND
Sharp Note to Germany Asking
YES" or mo" Reply.

Washington. June president Will
son determined that the United States
must ascertain definitely and very
promptly from Germany whether the
imperial government intends in the
future to be guided by the accepted
principles of international law and the
rights OF neutrals or to follow its own
rules of maritime warfare.
The President listened to a varied
expression of opinion at a meeting of
his Cabinet, taking little part in the
discussion himself. Later he began
the preparation of note to be dis
patched embodying his own ideas and
what seemed to him the consensus of
opinion OF his official family.
The verdict of a majority of the
Cabinet was that the German reply to
the American note following the sink
ing of the I.usitania was unresponsive
and unsatisfactory; that it disregard
ed the good will of the United States,
doubted its facts. and disclaimed all
blame for the destruction of the mer-
chairman with American lives.

Famous Feats Of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found In vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who. while
riding at gallop. could send an ar
row through a bufYalo's body. Re-
markable as this archery was. 1t did
not equal that reached by the archers
of ancient times. 1t is Of record that
the MacReas of Gairlock. Scotland.
were such skilled archers that they
could hit man at the distance of
500 yards In 1894 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot an arrow in
a field near that capital 415 yards
against the wind. The secretary Of
the ambassador on hearing the ex-
pressions OF surprise from the Eng
lish gentlemen present, said the sui
tan had shot 500 yards. This was the
greatest performance Of modern days.
but q pillar standing on a plain near
Constantinople recorded shots ranging
up to 800 yards. Sir Robert Ainsiie,
British ambassador to the Sublime
Porte, recorded that in 1898 he was
present when the sultan shot an arrow

MY wife and l drank our first cup

to the entire exclusion of tea and
coffee. 1t happened in this way:
Il had an attack of pneumonia.
which left me with dyspepsia. or neu
ralgia of the stomach My cup of
cheer had always been coffee or tea.
but l became convinced. after time.
that they aggravated my stomach
trouble. l happened to mention the
matter to my grocer one day and he
suggested that 1 give Postum trial.
Next day it came. and We liked it
so much that we will never change
back; for l am a well man today and
have used no medicine.
My work as chief bookkeeper in
our Cos branch house here is of a
very confining nature. During my cot

"mAsoN AND DlxoN's LINE"
Popular Misapprehension a. to Mean
ing Of Term and Just What the
Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect Is the general belief
that Mason and Dixon's line. as orig
inally laid of. divided the slave-hold-
ing states from the free states. On
the contrary. 1t ran for one-third of
its whole length between Maryland
and Delaware, both Of which were
slave-holding states at the time. The
line was run purely to settle a bound
ary dispute between Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware.
All the same. the actual Mason and
Dixons line was as much synonym
for trouble and 'dissension In its day
as was the figure of speech to which
in after years 1t gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to
some until Tin that looked-for day of
charity to all mem shall be fulfilled

that When the people of the South
and the North get together they will
forget there was ever a Mason and

The soldiers weakness for sweet

called attention when he wrote Tho

sumed by our army In France has

POSTOFFICE SWAMPED
BY CHRISTMAS RUSH
Volume Of Business This Year
Breaks All Previous
Records In Salem

Uncle Sans business is booming in
Salem this Christmas time. While there
is no time and opportunity now to
make comparisons it is certain that the
amount of mail and parcels handled
this year will break all previous rec
ords.
Postmaster Huckestein, in ais shirt
sleeves, is directing force of employees
wholly inadequate to cope with the
situation in quarters by far too cramp-
ed to take care of the volume of bust
ness flowing in and out night and day.
Still the force is rising to the occasion
and all are working with rush so that
patrons are taken care Of with remark
ablv little delay.
The postmaster s private office is a
store room for packages, and mail sacks
and parcels are stacked everywhere
about the building that available place
can be found. The rural carriers arc
overloaded going out and up to today
have brought in bigger loads than they
took out each morning. They will make
their deliveries tomorrow as usual and
Christmas means no holiday for them.
The overwOrked city carriers will also
make one delivery tomorrow forenoon.
Conditions at the postoffice indicate
the great need of larger quarters since
the parcel post system became effect
i've, and if the government officials
could take a look around the premises
at this time there would no doubt be
Something done in that direction with
out unnecessary delay. With eramped
facilities at best the rush periods of
the year make the handling of postof-
flee business very unsatisfactory to
say the least to the employees who are
anxious to give good service. The pub
lie should bear in mind the disadvan-
tages under which mail and parcel post
business are handled and place any crit
icism upon the service they feel is due
where it should belong. Postmaster
Huckestein and his assistants in all de-
partments are certainly overworking
themselves to remedy the conditions
which confront them.
