Deutschland Will Carry Mail.

The merchant submarine Deutsch- land and her sister ships will carry on future voyages special mail at rates recalling those of the transcontinen- tai post in the days of the forty miners. A special charge of two marks for a post card or letter not ex- ceeding twenty grams in weight will be levied in addition to the regular in- ternational postage. A similar charge will be made for each further twenty grams up to a maximum weight of sixty grams.
