The great guns which had been

were no longer visible, having either
arrived near their emplacements or
having been transferred to other rail-
way lines.

the front to replace that hitch had

Yet there was no hurry, no excite

Above all, the impression neutral
observer receives from visit to the

determined but prepared in every
detail to carry out Grants famous
declaration:
I'VE win fight it on this line IL it
takes all summer" And more, too.

Notice Announcing Status OF

Recent newspaper dispatches were
to the effect that employees of the posi-

no fear of this, however, according to
an announcement of A. S. Burleson

ment is printed in the Daily Bulletin
from the post Office department al
Washington, received here today by
E P. McManus. It fol
lows:
Notice to Postmasters.
Because of misleading state
ments appearing In certain news
papers regarding the status of
those postal employees who are
now in the military service OF the
United States, postmaSters and
other supervisory officers in the
postal service will call attention
of employees under their supervis-
lon who are now ia the military

to the position held by him at the
time he left the postal service.
and that such assignment of duty
will be made at his former salary
without awaiting the formal APP
proval of the post Office depart
ment. The Postmaster general
desires that only the postal en-
ployes themselves but also that
their families understand that
the employees are not to suffer the
loss of their positions or the sal
aries that they carry because of
having been called into the mill
tary service Of their country.
A. s. BURLESON,
Postmaster General.
This order will be read with feel
ing of relief by all guardsmen who
