FAULT FOUND WITH THE
POST OFFICE.
Late Morning Mall Deliveries Said to
Interfere with Business.

To THE EDITOR OF THE syN-Str: What
Is the matter with the General Post
ONCE?
or late the first downtown mail In the
morning has been delivered between Q
o'clock and s:30 o'clock.
This Is altogether too late. for in large
businesses It means n serious loss Of
time for a large number Of employees
and interferes with the despatch Of work
all along the line. Upon h early ar
rival OF the mornings mall depends al
most entirely the transaction Of the
days business.
Is 1t possible thu the manufacturers
Of munitions haveSUb far corralled in
telllgent men that the post office cannot
get enough carriers?
Or. In order to make a financial show
ing. are the needs Of business being
neglected?
1t would seem to the writer that fail
ure to handle adequately the downtown
mail In the way that conserves the time
OF our business organizations Is In Itself
a rather strong indication OF executive
inefficiency somewhere.
At n rate. the public should be told
frankly where the trouble lies and a
remedy found and applied by the public
servants whose duty It Is 70 do things
and do them promptly and with thor

POSTAL EMPLOYEES PAY.
Promotions That Were Expected Last
July Are Held Up.

To THE EDITOR oil THE SuN-Sr: A
question which concerns thousands OF
postal employees who ave reached the
$1,000 grade IL why the promotions
granted by the last Congress have been
held up. These promotions were to take
effect July /. 1916. and many OF the
boys have been waiting for good news
in that direction, hut In vain. The high
cost of living affects everybody and
especially civil service employees Of the
Government. the poorest paid men to-
day when you take INTO consideration
the irregular hours Of service. the learn
Ing OF separation schemes and the
knowledge required.
The Reilly eight hour law provides for
eight hours of actual service. but learn
ing separation schemes at home without
pay In order to attain efficiency Is a
matter not taken into consideration, as
postal employees must go through a
mental examination once or twice a year.
We are expected to show 95 per cent.
efficiency. II We fail to make 95 per
cent. we get another chance to make
good. II we fail the second time We
face a reduction In salary.
In view OF the fact that Congress ap-
propriated the money to grant promo
tions the men cannot understand the
reason FOR the four months delay and
the loss of one quarters salary from
July l TO September 80, A READER.

DR.. WI, China's Foreign Minister.

Through the appointment of W.T.
TiNG-rANG to the post of Foreign Min
lister Of China the United States Sc
cures n friend In n highly important
position In the Far East. DIR. W.T.,
MS we best knew him, showed his
friendship for this country on several
occasions and America expressed her
appreciation of him during his eight
years residence here and in the sim
ccre regret ut his departure.
DIR. WI came to this country to
break down the prejudice against his
people and with the hope that before
many years the Chinese would be
placed on nm equal footing with the
people of other great nations Of the
world. "What you do not like done
to yourself do not do to Others" IA
his fnvorite quotation from the Chi
nese sage C~oNFUCIUs. No envoy from
an Asiatic country ever showed n
better understanding Of our language,
customs and institutions. While he
may have failed in his serious pur-
pose, he succeeded in establishing
friendly relations between the two
countries that have continued to ex.
list to this day.
DIR. WI returns to the service of
China after n retirement which he
apparently sought years ago. While In
America he announced that he was
seriously thinking Of following the
advice of his wife. who urged that "a
wise mar ought to know not only to
advance but to retire In proper time"
Upon his return to his native land he
was discouraged by his failure to in
troduce n new code Of procedure in
civil and criminal cases. and after n
pilgrimage to the tombs Of his nnces-
tors he said that he had given up
public life and would retire to Shang-
hal, haven Of rich Chinese.
From his familiarity with Western
life and institutions and the needs of
China It was natural that he should
favor the revolution that overthrow
the Manchu dynasty. Yet he several
times refused Office under the repub-
lie. He was not In sympathy with
the reactionary movement, and Mt the
time YUAN SHIH-K'Ar aspired to i'm
perial honors he Is said to have adj
vised his retirement from the Presl-
dency for the nations good. This
loyalty TO the ideals OF the republic
was, no doubt, responsible for his Sc.
lection as Foreign Minister.
He brings to his Office a comblna.
ton Of philosophy and wit, OF common
sense and a varied experience in In.
ternational AFFAIRS that should be of
great value to his country In Its pres
ent critical situation.

women on the stump.

In the Presidential campaign just

using their tongues to praiseworthy

English speaking race men possessing

Secretary Bakers Resignation Is
Desirable.

The return Of Secretary BAKER to
private life Is now assured, according
to a definite report from Washington.
In the event OF President WILSON'S
reelection Mr.. BAKER will leave the
Cabinet on March 4. He Is no the
type OF man that Mr.. HUGHES would
think of choosing for Secretary of
War. President WILSON'S selection Of
the ex-NiayOr of Cleveland, who had
been the protege and pupil Of Tom l..
JOHNSON. was dictated, as Is now
well known, by political considera-
lions only. NEWTON ID. BAKER had
q considerable following among the
radicals In Ohio but no qualifications
at all for the War Department. as he
admitted.
It was said at the time, and the
report is now confirmed. that Mr..
BAKER stipulated that his service
should be limited to n year. Yet
never was there graver need Of a
capable Secretary of War, Of n maj
Of foresight, judgment and energy.
The question Of preparedness was the
most important before the American
people, and this amiable and accom-
modating novice was drafted for a
year, obviously not for anything he
might accomplish in the War Depart
ment. The conclusion Is unavoidable
that his influence in Ohio politics was
what Mr.. WILSON sought. 1t was an
improper and obviously mischlevOus
appointment.
Nearly four months must pass before
the end of Mr.. WILSON'S present term
as President. and many things affect
ing the security Of the country may
happen in that time. The army and
the Federallzed National Guard are
going from bad to worse, owing In the
n case to a falling of In enlistments
and in the other case to numerous
designations. The sooner Secretary
NEWTON d. BAKER writes his resigna-
ton the better for the land forces.
Why should he not do 1t now?

WRAPPED MEATS.



To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Str: A
number Of articles have been printed In
THE SUN recently concerning the cam
paign for the enforcement OF the net
weight law and the disposition Of cases
in court. Will you permit us space in
your paper to state as briefly as possi-
BILE something Of the packers side OF
the question?
Many years ago nearly everything
was sold In bulk. Crackers and oatmeal
came out OF a barrel or sack prunes
were wrapped in burlap and kicked
around the floor OF the grocery, and
other food products were thrown on the
counter OF the market as an attraction
for files.
One OF the first reforms ~inaugurated
in handling food products In a sanitary
way came from the packers.
The wrapping OF smoked meats is a
practice which dates back more than n
quarter OF a century and Is necessary
to retain the flavor. protect the quality.
prevent the surface from drying out and
mould from penetrating the meat. Also
II Is a %precaution taken so that hams
and bacon will reach the consumer in
as good condition as they leave the
packing house. Further, at some sea-
sons of the year and In a great many
localities II is a protection OF the meat
against flies.
Fresh meat Is handled all the way
through under refrigeration and is as a
rule protected against flies, but this Is
not true Of smoked meat: consequently
aap,a .,tIeaIal nrpsnrttpp a0atnat Aiea 10
necessary.
Certain kinds of flies lay Eggs in the
meat whenever they have access to II.
from which develop shippers which
make the smoked meats unstable.
The retail dealer or consumer suffers
no loss by reason OF the meat being
wrapped. because the price Is made on
the basis OF II being wrapped. and a
different price would be charged II meat
had to he sold unwrapped.
Much experimenting was INDUCED In
by packers to ind a paper that would
protect adequately hams and bacon. pre-
venting them from drying out and thus
insure the purchaser a fresh. clean prod
uct. For a number OF years now all
high class hams and bacon have been
wrapped in a parchment p OF the
highest grade.
Wrapped hams inc bacon lose some
weight. but not so much nor so rapidly
as the u%nwrapped product. Protection
from skipper flies. cleanliness and a
partial prevention OF shrinkage are the
main consideration for the payment for
the wrapping that has been the cause OF
an adverse court decision and much
criticism. II has been charged that the
sale OF wrapplngs OF hams and bacon
has Melted the packers $1,000. 900 n year
illegal profit. and a demand Is made IN
some quarters that the net weight of
the package must he stamped on IL.
II the net weight were to he marked
upon hams and bacon at the time that
they are wrapped Il would not accom-
plish the desired object. The meat will
shrink up to the time that II reaches
the hands OF the consumer. and II he
were to buy at the net weight marked
he would be paying for shr!nkage which
would equal or exceed the weight o: the

The Menaced Forests.

last year. has made alarming prog
ress among trees over an area several
miles In extent, and the authorities
In the State College of Forestry of
syracuse University fear that the in.
lection Is more widespread than was
at first thought. II Is held that the
disease spread rapidly last spring be.
cause of excessive moisture but that
the development Of the cankers was
retarded by the warmth and dryness
Of the late summer and autumn.
The origin of the blight remains Il
mystery the only means Of combat.
ing 1t suggested Is the removal Of nf-
fected trees; and the efficacy of this
heroic treatment Is brought into doubt
by experiments in Connecticut, which
indicate that cutting the trees does
not materially check the disease after

reluctantly reached by the forestry
authorities Is that the chestnuts near
PhPniX will eventually go the way Of
