and could no longer be denied. On
July 3, 1896. the sum Of $4,000 was
made available, and on October /,
1896, the first experimental rural de-
livery was put into operation in JEFF
ferson county, West Virginia. Ser
vice was established on three routes
simultaneously, one from Charles
Town, one from Uvilla, and one from
Halltown.
At the close of business June 80,
1915, there were in operation from
1888 post offices throughout the
country 43,s77 rural routes. Up to
and including June 30, 1915, 26,O80
post offices were discontinued on ac-
count of the establishment of rural
delivery, representing saving to the
postal service of $1,613,000 per an
mum and also saving of $3,482, 900
on account Of the discontinuance of
star-route service. The period of
greatest activity in the rural service
was from 1900 to 1905, the appro-
priations running from $450,000 in
1900 to $21,116,000 In 1906.
This administration has recognized
the value of the postal service to the
people to a greater extent within the
past three years than for any similar
period during the last decade. Mai
facilities have been established and
extended on mail routes in more thar
ten thousand localities, giving service
to approximately $500, 900 patrons

The advice of the federal reserve board to member banks against investment in the treasury bills of foreign governments points consequence that probably very remote. that of draining the country of money to the handicappng of the develop ment of our resources at home. No doubt there many fnanciers in this country who would bleed the United States Of the last penny to loan foreign governments if there should be profit directly in directly in the transaction. There are too Americans whose interest in the success of certain begerents is so great that they woSd submit the United States to any sacrifice in their behalf.
 But the great majority of American financers be- long to neither class and could be depended upon their influence against foreign loans when the danger point should be brought into view.
