of the post Office department will be
strained to the utmost to take care OF
the great increase in mail. The tmen-
ness of gifts depends upon their being
received on or before Christmas day.
and it is in the interest of the public
itself that the necessity is urged Of
mailing their gifts early. Parcels may
be endorsed do not open until Christ
mas" or with words of similar import
and, if mailed this week, will reach
their destination quicker, safer, and in
a much better condition.
Parcels of value should be insured. A
fee of but three cents is charged to insure
parcels not exceeding s. in value. In
surance tags may be procured in advance
at the Waterville postoffice SO that con-
gestion at the windows may. be avoided.
Christmas and New Year cards in great
numbers will be sent by the public. One
cent stamps should be purchased in ad-
vance so that these cards may be prop
erly stamped more conveniently than dur
ing the great crush at the local office
during the holiday season.
Mail parcels and in fact all matter dur
ing the morning hours when possible. as
the connections by the earlier trains are
/ much better than by the late afternoon
and night trains. Christmas parcels
should be packed carefully, addressed:
plainly and mailed early.

Would Pool Shipping Of
Entente Against Teuton

Paris. Dec. 18.-Pooling of the ship
ping of the Entente Allies. to the ex-
clusion Of the flags of all countries now
at war with them, is suggested for the
economic struggle expected after the
war by Georges ANGEL. deputy from
Havre and specialist in such ques-
tions. NJ. ANGEL believes the benefits of
pooling, as illustrated by the prosperity
OF shipping combinations. should be taxi
en- into consideration in connection with
the rebuilding of the French merchant
marine and in consolidating the position
which the Allies have gained through
the blockade of Germany and Austria.
AS soon as the seas are open to her
merchant feet. NJ. ANGEL says. Germany
naturally will make an immediate and
violent effort to recover her shipping.
1t is his opinion that she expects dis
elimination against her flag in ports of
france and Great Britain, and will en-
deavor to bring about union of neutral
shipping interests to be pooled with her
own to compete under their flags in
those ports.
To checkmate this movement M. ANGEL
proposes the admission of neutral shin
ping to the pool of the Entente Allies on
conditions that the neutrals agree not
&c enter any combinations with shipping
interests flying the flag of any nation
now AT war with the Entente.
