MAILS DELAYED

Announcement That America
Hereafter Would Handle
Panama Mail Was Result
of Investigation,

Washington, Nov. 1.--PostOffice Of
flee officials explained today that the
decision announced yesterday, to route
American mails for Panama and South
and Central America, by way of Pan
anna, handled by American postal Of
ficials, instead of the British packet
agent in the canal zone, was the re-
suit of an investigation which dis
closed that mails were being delayed
In order that they may be carried on
British ships and that Great Britain
was handling the mails by contract at
a rate less than the United States was
paying her for the service
PostOffice inspectors who conduct
ed the investigation reported that
there were instances where American
mails might have been shipped on
American vessels were diverted to
British ships. Under new contracts
the United States is paying less for the
service and All the same time the com
panics, in some cases, are receiving
more.
In the future every effort will be
madc by United states postal authort-
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 do
ing the postal matter should be delay

Among the "Grcat Victorians" mo

volume Of "reminiscences bearing that
title are Tcnnyson and Browning He
recalls meeting these poets at a gar
den party at Sir James Knowles Both
were seated at the entrance to little
tent on the lawn, and both were ap-
parently taking great pleasure IN the
homage of their fellow guests. What
struck Mr.. Escott especially on this
occasion was Tennyson's personal ap-
pcarance.
"Tho laureate then still retained his
picturesque presence, with all tho ad-
ded improssivcness Of years. AS to
how or what he looked he had become
altogether indifferent His slouch

wear in them and We're replaced from
a little stock Of both articles which
he always had on hand TO avoid save
at the longest intervals, the loathed
visit to hatters. or tailors for a fresh

Many Of us who are neither poets
nor famous men would be glad, we
are sure, to emulate Tennyson's $ eX-

THE MARINA AFFAIR.

II IT shall be finally determined that
the steamer Marina, with many Amer
iCans aboard, was sunk by German
submarines without waning, caus-
ing the death Of six Americans It is
doubtful If the government can ac-
ocpt disavowal, as in the Sussex in
eident
Whether Hughes or Wilson Is elect
cd the policy Of the government, re-
garding the neutrality problems Of
this nation, will be the same. Mr.
Hughes has declared specifically that
he will oppose any attempt TO place
an embargo on the shipment Of mu-
any belligerenf, and that he Will
equally oppose all efforts to limit the
rights OF Americans to travel on the
high seas That Is the position Pres
ident Wilson took when the question
was first raised.
II the Marina was torpedoed with
out warning, after being attacked by
two submarines, IT may be accepted
as conclusive evidence that Germany
has renewed her submarine warfare
with all Of its first ruthlessncss.
There IS occasion for grave appre-
hension, but no reason at this time
for excitement We shall wait for the
facts-for all of the facts, and then
do whatever the circumstances de-
mand.
The country is to be congratulated
on having at It's head man who has
the confidence Of the American peo-
pie. They know that Woodrow VIII
son Will protect the interests Of the
and that he viii not break OF,
diplomatic relations between this
country ana Germany unless Ger
many's actions make such policy inn
poratiye.
