New York, Feb. l2.-Although fig

NAIL IRREGULARITIES
Efforts Are Being Made To
Fix Blame For Delay
In Delivery.

Irregularities complained of by
Kentuckian subscribers on the rural
routes out of Gracey are in the mails
and not in this Office. Last Thurs
days Kentucklens were not sent out
that day on the route south of Gracey.
The papers were placed in the Hop
kinsville postoffice at 6 p. m. Wednes-
day and should have gone out at $40
a. m. Thursday. Clerks in the local
office say the papers were so sent.
They should have reached Gracey by
8 a. m. and gone out on the rural
route at 7:30 a. m. The postmaster
at Gracey says they were not in the
office there in time to go out. The
agent of the |. C.. railroad was re-
quested to investigate and report
whether the railroad mail clerk car
ried the mail by Gracey or not. This
report has not yet been made. Sub
scribers are requested to report any
further delays in delivery and Il
necessary an official investigation by
the Postoffice department will be de-
manded.

gun. In this kind of a fight gun
mounted on steamship has great
advantage, for the platform offered
by submarine is an unsteady thing
to fire from, and despite the smaller
target offered, the gunners on ships
have the better of it.
Careful observations made during
the last.year Of steamers mounting
defense guns show that they are in a
measure immune from attack-unless
it is without warning. as in the case OF
the California. The number of U-boats
that the Germans have lost have made
them chary about showing themselves
within range of ships on which they
see guns or which they have learned
are defensively armed.
"Other methods Of catching subma-
rines, such as nets, bombs and de-
vices that are Admiralty secrets, are
still being used, but the deck gun on
steamers in the hands Of good marks
men is leading all others in results. "

"A submarine commander looking

get his target broadside on to have a
reasonable chance of making a torpe-

a miss.
"A periscope above the water at a
