SUGARY LETTERS
AND OTHERS SOON
TO TAKE 3 CENTS

The enamored swain writing daily
letters to his loved one, the school
girl sending warm epistles by the
score to her matinee idol, the tourist
dropping postcards to the folks back
home, may slacken their ardor some
what when the increased postage
rates go into effect November 2.
But even should they do so, the
great bulk Of the peoples correspond
ence, as necessary almost as the eat
ing habit, will probably show no
decrease.
1t is estimated that the city Of
Washington will add to the Federal
revenues through this tax approxi-
mately a quarter OF a million dollars
during the two closing months OF
1917.
80 Per Cent Cost Increase.
The tax increases the postal rates
Just so per cent. for It will be 3
cents for every letter. excluding

excluding printed ones, which re-
main at 1 cent
A drop letter Is a letter delivered
from the office at which It IL mailed.
The estimate Of $250OO0 as tn eapproxi-
mate increased postage that Washing
tonians will pay during November and
December Is arrived at as follows:
Stamp sales for November and De-
cember last year in the Washington Of
fee amounted to $4g7. .12S55. Postmaster
NJ o. Chance says that figures for the
present month show a % per cent in
crease over last year. This would make
the total stamp sales for the next two
months Approximate over half a million
dollars, and the increase rate will he
90 per cent Of that.
No Bulk Decrease Foreseen.
OF course. 1t is a matter of specula-
tion whether there will be any failing
OF in the bulk OF the mail Postmaster
Chance is OF the opinion that there will
be no d crease in the Washington office.
The parcel post rate is increased

Letters may still be sent to soldiers in
France and to the personnel Of the At
Iantic feet for cents.
Postmaster Chance has a supply of
10000 scent stamps and 100000 stamp
ed envelopes, which he says will keep
the office going for a day or two. OF
course, a 2-cent and a 1-cent stamp will
suffice.

when the same Department of Jus
tice men arrived in a taxicab and de-
parted with their prioner.
While every one was wondering
what the Department of Justice men
were going to do with the prince, his
friends in New York. the Rev. John
Won Herrick, rector o. st. Johns
Episcopal Church, Eleventh avenue
and Eightieth street, Brooklyn, and
his wife-were informed by telephone
by a Department of Justice man that
the prince had been released, that a
mistake had been made, and the off,
cials "were sorry" A few minutes
later the prince telephoned the same
message to DR.. Won Herrlich and his
wife.
This is not the first time the prince
hast been seized as "spy." He was
arrested in Germany shortly after the
outbreak of the war because he had
in his possession the drawings OF a
ZeppeIin-like airship-his own inven-
tion. That time he was charged with
being q Russian spy. He was released
when II was proved that the alrship
was his own invention, and that he
had obtained patents on IL. This in
vention was tried out by the British
and French in 1915.
Mrs. Won Herrlich, who knows the
princes mother, whom she visited in
Russia, told the Department OF JUS
tice OFFICIALS that she could vouch for
the prince She told them she had
personal knowledge of his arrest in
Germany, having been there at the
time
Her husband, who was formerly
chaplain in one Of CALIFORNIA; ma
tionaI guard regiments, told the
agents that the prince had no German
acouaIntances in this country, and
was. in fact, anything but in funds.

PASTORS AIDL LOAN
WITH SERMONS IN
!. D. c. CHURCHES

Added impetus was given the Lib
erty loan drive today. as a result of
the stirring appeals to the patriotism
OF the country made yesterday in the
special Liberty loan sermons of lead
ing pastors of the Capital. Churches
of Washington lent their aid to the
efforts to raise the sinews of war,
which are to overcome the barbarity
OF autocracy. In the strongest terms
the. pastors called down upon the
Kaiser the wrath of q wounded Chris
tianity.
''Cain Is the greatest outcast OF
history, but the Kaiser is his equal,
declared the Rev. J. Harvey Durham,
in his sermon on "The Outcast," at
Western Presbyterian Church.
Gain was a murderer, a cAlloused
liar, an egotist. and a sinking hypo-
critic; the Kaiser is all these and
more. Cain was driven from the
Garden Of Eden to eternal dAmnation
for his sins, so ought the ungodly
Kaiser and his minions be wiped from
the face Of the EARTH.
Rev. Martin ForeefuL
Equally forcefuI were the words of
the Rev. D. H. Martin, speaking on
The Nations Present Appeal to Pa
triotism," at the Wesley Chapel
The hand of Almighty God Is
against the Kaiser" declared the Rev.
Martin. "Prussianism is as surely
doomed as the soul of the Kaiser is
damned for this world and the next.
Our supreme business is to win the
war and the matter now at hand is
to raise the Liberty fund. Nothing
could have helped the sale more than
the atrocious sinking OF our boat and
killing seventy of our men.
I'VE have drafted our msHdnto the
service, and now we must draft our
money. When we buy a Liberty bond
we send q wireless to the Kaiser
warning him of the beginning of the
end of ruthlessneAs.""
No Word So Terrible.
To-day there is no word in our Ian
guage SO terrible as Prussianism," the
Rev. Charles Wood told the throng OF
soldiers from the nearby camps at the
Church of the Covenant. "All our
thoughts OF the Germans today are
colored with the tales OF the atroci-
tiesaHhich have made them infamous
in the eyes of the universe. The
German troops, when they were sent
TO China, were ordered to make the
name Of Germany more terrible than
that OF the Huns. This command has
beet fully obeyed by the armies OF
the Emperor"
Those who desert their country in
her shour of need are the ones who
deserted Christ at the cross" said the
Rev John MacMurray, in his sermon
on "The Forsaken Christ" at the
onion NJ E. Church. There are those
who love themselves more than the
land from which they sprung. Who
at the moment when that country Is
unfurling the banner Of freedom over
a sea of blood, forsake her. We must
follow Christ, the leader, TO victory"

MUST FIND PLACE FOR STONE.
Granite Block Is to Leave Site of
Treasury Annex.

Now that the government reserva-
ton at the northeast corner of Penn
sylvania avenue and Madison place has
been chosen by Congress as the site of
the United States Treasury Department
annex, it will be necessary for the
proper authorities to make suitable
disposition of the massive block of
sine which force fifteen years past has
occupied a prominent position on it
just opposite the statue OF Lafayette in
the park of that name. According to
the legend inscribed on the face of the
big stone, it was designed and pre-
scented by the Stonecutters' Union Of
Washington, D. c.. as the corner stone

lington, shall ever stand as monu-
ment to American patriotism" and
was dedicated the 9th day of October,
1902, during the thirty-sixth annual
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic" Aside from its historical
interest the stone is valuable because
Of it's great size and perfect condition
and it's fine mathematical proportions.
In case Congress ever makes provi-
sion for the long-desired memorial
used for the purpose to which it was
dedicated exactly fifteen years ago next
Tuesday. 1t is not yet settled what
shall be done with it when work is
begun on the foundations for the new
Treasury annex, but it is probable it
will be transferred to Potomac Park or
some other public reservation, where
it can be preserved until needed for
the purpose to which it was dedicated.
