Pay Less for Service.

Under new contracts the United
States is paying less for the service.
and at the same time the companies.
in some cases, are receiving more for
their services.
In the future every effort will be
made by United States postal authori-
ties in the Canal Zone to carry Ameri-
can mails on American ships. They
have been instructed to give the mails
to American vessels even if by SO
doing the postal matter should be de-
layed a day.
Since the Inauguration of the Canal
Zone postal service all unclaimed first
class mail matter originating in the
Canal Zone has been forwarded to the
division of dead letters here fo- dis
position, This has caused considerable
delay in the return of unclaimed mat
fer to the senders. The greater portion
of this unclaimed mail matter consists
of letters returned from the islands of
the West Indies, concerning which in
Quiry is frequently made. and in order
to expedite the return OF such letters
to the senders arrangements have been
made to handle these letters by the
Canal Zone postal service. Under the
new ARRANGEMENT all unclaimed mail
matter originating in the Canal Zone
will be opened in the office of the
director of posts and restored direct to

Meanwhile the daily papers carry

forth the virtues of one party and the
shortcomings of the other, crowning a

MAILS SOF j. S. DELAYED
TO FAVOR BRITISH SHIPS
Reasons for Placing Matter in
Hands Of American 0f6eials
Are Revealed.

Post Office officials explained today that
the decision to have American mails for
Panama and South and Central America,
by way Of Panama. handled by American
postal officials instead of the British
packet agent in the Canal Zone was the
result of an investigation which disclosed
that mails were being delayed in order
that they might be carried on British
ships and that Great Britain was handling
the mails by contract at rate less than
the United S.ates was paying her for
the service.
Post office inspectors who conducted
the investigation reported that there
were instances where American mails
which might have been shipped on
American vessels were diverted to
British Ships

Shortly before noon Mayor E. E.

The party was then divided into

Capt. T. A. Scott of the Scott Wreck

GERMAN U-BOAT RAVAGES
SHIPPING OFF u. S. COAST
Number Of Foreign Boats Sent to Bot
ton by German Submarines
Sunday.

The submarine arm of the imperial
German navy ravaged shipping off the
eastern coast of the United States
Sunday.
Four British, one Dutch and one
Norwegian steamer were sent to the
bottom or left crippled dereIicts off
Nantucket shoals, and under the lighr
of the hunters moon the destroyer
~flotilla of the United States Atlantic
fleet was picking up passengers and
crews of the destroyed vessels and
bringing them into Newport, R. I.
So far as known there vas no loss
Of life. A submarine held up the
American steamer Kansan, bound
from New York for Genoa with steel
for the italian government, but later,
on establishing her identity, allowed
the American to proceed.
The hostile Submarine is believed to
be the U-53, which paid a call to New
port Saturday and disappeared at sun
set. Some naval men declared, how
ever, that at least two submarines are
operating close to the American
shore, though outside the three-mile
limit. ed - "a 1ASA.
The sensation created Saturday
when the U-53 quietly slipped lnto
Newport harbor and as quietly slipped
away three hours later, was less tina
the shock in shipping circles when
wireless reports of submarine attacks
began to come into the naval radio
stations. Within a few minutes tht
air was literally charged with cleo
tricity as wireless messages of warn
ing were broadcasted along the coast.
The submarine or submarines a
taken a position directly in the
steamer lanes, where they could
hardly miss anything bound in for
New York or bound east from that
port.
Vessels of the entente allied nations
and neutral bottoms carrying contra
band of war scurried to g& within
the three-mile limit of the American
shore. Several that were following
the outside course shifted and made
for the inside lane. The Stephano, OF
the Red Cross Line, however, was
caught outside the neutral zone. The
destruction Of this vessel was per-
haps the biggest prize of the day. The
! craft had been sold to the Russian
government and would have been used
as an ice breaker after her present
trip.
