Submarine activities have had mucl
 to do with decreasing the Christina
 business In foreign orders, and If tn total for this year falls below that fo
 1915, as 1t probably will, the under
 seas liners can be blamed for mucl of the decrease, according to Thir, Assistant Postmaster General Dock cry,
 "Of course it is impossible to say ] just how much the submarine activi | ties have affected the money order business" he said, "but they have cut it down much"
 Due to this and other causes, the | foreign money order business is in 2 chaotic state. It began to fall of with the beginning of the war, and has decreased gradually ever since.
 "T attribute its decrease in a great measure also to many young men from the foreign countries returning home to fight at the outbreak of the war Of course they, prior to their depar ture, were regular patrons, for few of them did not send money home at Christmas time particularly, and often during other periods of the year The older people, who are left behind, have less money to send"
 With delivery in Italy and Greece comparatively safe, natives of those countries are leading all the rest this Christmas in sending money home. Always a liberal people at Christmas time and firm believers in this govern ment, as the postal savings accounts show, they are literally sending tons of money" back home now. Their sums vary from $5 to $15, postal em- ployees say.
 The postal department is using every effort to encourage Christmas sending, although no false hopes of quick delivery are held out. Supple mental instructions are printed in vir- tually every language. including Chi nese and Japanese, on how to make out money order, and they have been found very useful. The Chinese Christ mas, of course, does not fall on the same day as it does in this country, but the Chinese are inclined to make presents during the American holi- days as we'll as their own.
 Norway, Sweden and Denmark come in for a good share of the Christmas money orders. Most of their former citizens in this country appear pros porous, it is declared, and they are liberal at holiday times.
 Many persons who desired to send holiday rememberances to friends in Belgium, Egypt, Mexico and Portugal as we'll as Austria, have been surprised to learn recently that the money or der business has been suspended Ow- ing to the fact that the United States has ac "conyemt!ons," as postal agree ments are called, with them.

near as it is possible to estimate at this
time, this will mean that the promoters
will receive an average of probably 50 q

Jury by Reason of Insanity

Bangor. Me, Feb. S.-Charles II. Hamm
OF Hudson was founa not guilty by reason
of insanity by the jury at the court house
Tuesday morning. following brief hearing
at which witnesses of the shooting. and Dr..
P. T. Haskell, acting superintendent of the
Bangor State hospital. in which Hamm has
been confined since he was placed there
shortly after his arrest last year. testified.
Dr. Haskells testimony was to the eff
feet that Hamm was insane at the time of
the shooting SO that he could not distinguish
between right and wrong. his testimony
before the hospital physician. Hamm said
that God told him to shoot the woman, but
that he didn't want to that Mrs. Whit
more would frequently caress him and then
borrow money from him. and God had told
him he would never get it back. Hamm said
that night when it was very cold he
went upstairs to get some bedclothes and
found they were all gone, and when he ask
ed her if she had taken them she evaded
his answer.
Two other witnesses testified to the
shooting eyewitnesses CT the deed. Miss
Addie Whitmore, daughter of the murdered
woman. and George I-ysson. a neighbor.
Justice Cornish, in charging the jury,
said that the fact of the shooting was evil
dent. and the only question for the jury
to decide was the insanity of the pers On
charged, and that in view of the evidence
in this respect. it almost the duty for
the Jury TO return "a verdict of mot gull
" by reason OF insanity" In such case,
the statutes provide that the respondent
shall b. sentenced TO the building for the
criminal insane at Augusta State hospital.
The jury returned with the verdict stat
