LONDON, Aug 25.-The Times in . recent issue publishes T article char ac-sriza6 as difficult, if not impossible -o doabc. regarding the origin Of the war The writer recalls Q reference 70 -he speech in rhe reichstag recent = ot Hugo Haase. leader Of the Social .s- Minority. as reported in the Leip- ziger Tolks Zei-Ung. 10 the meeting July ;, 1915. as one of Ehe things which mus be explained before the origin Of -ae var is fully understood According 10 the Times informant ta!s probably will become the most ia nous date Of that tatetul month.

 The emperor then went 10 Norway with the object, says the writer, Of throwing dust into inc eyes Of the French and Russian governments.
 Later when it became known that England would not remain neutral, Dr. Ton Bethnann-HoIlweg wished 10 with draw, but il was 100 late.

where arrangements have been made for their distribution.
 In addition postmasters in other offices have been instructed to trans nit their unbelievable magazines to certain centrally located cities, gen. orally not far from cantonment sites, and from these designated points peri odical literature will be distributed through similar agencies to the sold iers in the making.
 "In this matter the Post Office De- partment hopes to be able to aid materially in keeping up the spirit and morale of the troops while they are not actively engaged in the dis charge of their military duties, as well as to improve their minds"
 Supplements Previous Plan
 This arrangement for the distribut- ion of literature among the soldiers at the front and in cantonment Is in addition to the plan heretofore an- nounced by the Postmaster General and now in operation of permitting in- dividuals to send reading matter to soldiers simply by placing 1-cent stamp upon magazine or periodical without name or address. This un- dertaking has been worked out by the Postmaster General in conjunction with the magazine publishers, who have been invited to print the follow ing upon the front covers of their pub lications:
 Notice to Readerg-When you
 finish reading this magazine place
 a 1-cent stamp on this notice,
 hand same to any postal employe
 and it will be placed in the hands
 of our soldiers or sailors at the
 front.
 No Wrapping-no address.
 Many publishers have adopted the suggestion of the Postmaster General in this regard, but with million men in the field the Postmaster General be- lieves that greater quantity of liter ature than this method would provide might be desirable, and accordingly he initiated the plan of sending the un- deliverable magazines to the front.

Some days ago some one deposited in the local postoffice old magazines for transmission to the boys on the front and in training camps over the country. Postmaster Warder notified the public that such was not in ac- cord with the order of the department in that respect. Yesterday, a citizen requested more information on the subject for himself and others who may not have understoon the arrange ment. On August 1, the Post Office Department at Washington authorized the following, which is intended to govern all in the premises.
 Postmaster General Burleson has completed arrangements to keep the boys at the front supplied with good current literature, and also to provide a similar class of reading matter for the embryo soldiers at the different cantonments throughout the country
 "In the big post offices of the coun- try" said the Postmaster General, there continually accumulates large quantity of f ndeliverable and nonre- turnable pc ical literature-month- ly magazine md weekly periodicals of high-class character. Ordinarily 1t is destroyed, but we have now devised a means of putting 1t to very good use. Henceforth it will be transmitted free of charge to the boys behind the fir ing line. It is not the intention of the department to surfeit the soldiers with a mass Of cheap and trashy reading matter, but to select, as far as practi- cal, the standard magazines, weeklles and monthlies. and have them prop erly distributed through the depot quartermaster's office of the army.
 Orders Sent to Postmasters.
 "Postmasterg in many of the larger cities have been directed to place such copies Of magazines containing good literature, current news, and ar- ticles Of general interest which re- main in their respective offices unde- lyered in packages and to transmit them properly labeled to an American port which has already been designat- ed. From there they will go direct to the expeditionary forces in Europe,
