dicating more French prisoners than

Mr.. Breny summed up the magnt-

Swiss post office receives and for
wards an average of 219084 letters

packages. 51,s97 registered packages

without charge and doing it gladly;
its state railways carry all this mail
free OF charge; all postage stamps
and duties are waived; hundreds Of
extra postal employees are engaged in
the administration; and expenditures
Of 100000 francs ($4,oo0,0o0) of va
rious kinds are waived-that is the
way small country is obeying a

There Is one small postage stamp,
With q black border and the single

sentssa greater tragedy than any bat
tle8tn the present war. It is the
stamp used by the international mail
service. conducted by the Swiss gov
ernment, between the prisoners of

on letters directed to soldiers who
have fallen at the front or died In
hospital
a large table is piled high with
these letters, each bearing the fatal
stamp "Decede" This is but one
mall, and each days mail piles the
table again. They are TO families in
England, Germany. France, Turkey,
Austria, Japan-the entire range Of
fighting countries-for Switzerland
has taken over the entire work of adj
miaistering this mail service between
families and their mon at the front.
For small country it is an enor-
nous work that Switzerland has thus
assumed, bearing the entire expense
without a penny's charge to anyone.
Located right in the heart Of the car.
mage; with the fighting nations on
every side, Switzerland is peculiarly
placed for effectively carrying OH this
Humanitarian work. Il is like the
diplomatic work which the United
States assumed for the different coun-
tries, but the magnitude of the work
istprobably greater owing to the vast
ness of these daily mails between all
the fighting countries. And yet Swift
zerland does this work simply and
without noise, and few know Of the
extent OF the undertaking.
Accompanied by Secretary Breny OF
the Post Office Department, who is In
direct charge Of the work, The ASSOC
lated Press representative saw its
many branches of activity In full op-
Seratlon. Even the big General Post
Office OF Switzerland was not ade-
8quate to carry on this international
work. and the huge gymnasium was
brought into service. Here the trap
ezesf and fyingrings have been looped
TO the side walls, along with rows OF
indiana clubs and dumb-bells, giving a
free open space for the enormous In.
duxgof soldier mail. Long trains Of
mailEyans are at the door, and some
thirty. to, fifty wagon-loads of this mail
are handled daily-letters to Bombay
for Turk prisoners held there by the
English, or to Nagaski, Japan, for
German prisoners held there by ia

party held at the Auditorium Mon
day evening was successful in every
way. The girls intended as usual to
make the party a social success, ir-
regardless of financial conditions.
Refreshments were sold at cost, can

which was donated by the girls)
was sold less than the price of mat
erials. Practically all the rest of
the money taken in was spent for
music, decoration. etc. The house
