WILL TRY TO HELP
POSTAL SERVICE

The lack of any service on carrier
mail yesterday at the local postoffice
was due to the fact the carrier force
as now constituted could not be used
for any holiday work, according to
Postmaster T. ]. Tweedy. The reg
ulations specify that if Il man is usei
for holiday work he must be given
compensatory time and the force is
So small no compensatory time can
be allowed Hence there is no
chance for improved service here
unless an increase can be made in
the carrier force.
Postmaster Tweedy says he will
ask for additional help and will ap-
preCiate it if 'ocal people through
the Commerc al Club or individually,
will aid in impressng the department
with the merits of the case.
Under the present laws carrier mail
cannot be worked out on sundays but
the carrier mail may be worked out
and delivered at the carrier windows
on other holidays if the force is suf-
ficient to provide this service. The
regulations prescribe that when post
offices observe holidays provisions
shall be made for reasonable service
to the public. The fact this has not
been done here is ascr.bed to the
conditions stated above.

LONDON FORECASTS
QUICK, HARD GERMAN
DASH TO PETROGRAD

LONDON, Sept "A quick, hard
drive from Riga to Petrograd is Lon
don's forecast of Germauy's Russian
campaign. Military experts believe
Germany will do her utmost in the
drive. The Germans must go far in
the 500 mile journey before winter
starts Authorities agree If the Rus
slams manifest the proper fighting
spirit, possibly they can stem the
German advance. The marshes. small!
lakes. many rivers and rough terra.n
between Riga and Petrograd would
make the German advance difficult
If n small. well organized Russian
force attempted to block the drive
The Germans plan to use the Baltic
fleet in the continued advance. If
the Russian sailors will fight they
cou'd probably block the activities of
the German fleet German militar-
ists are making the most of Riga's
Tal in restoring the confidence ot
