parcels may weigh up to seven pounds.
Parcels for the soldiers and civilians

tiouary Forces may contain anything
that is admissible to the domestic par
Gel post except perishablcs which may
spoil on the long journey to Europe
Parcel post for the American Expe-
dictionary Forces need not be packed in
wooden boxes, but should be carefully
packed in the strongest kind Of paste

the front
In addition to this parcel post service

OF course the post office department

Office nothing is said specifically coz.
corning the kind Of things which may
be- sent to the soldiers and civilians
connected with the expeditionary
forces. Ii is perfectly proper to send
sugar, provided it is properly wrapped.
The reason sugar is spoken Of here
is because there seems to have been
some misunderstanding about It,
Matches must not be sent in any cir
cumstances. Neither must anything

nary packing material, be Included,
nor must there be any chemical or

sealed and protected against break
age can be sent. Nothing Of an ex-
pIo~ive nature must be put into the
parcels
It is necessary that tie parcel post
packages weighing up TO seven
pounds sholl be wrapped so that the
post Office authorities may examine
their contents. The rules for the
packages which the war department
sends are given explicitly in the above
official communication. It is desired
to accentuate the fact that parcels up
20 seven pounds in weight can be sent
by ordinary parcel post at any time Of
the year, but that Christmas boxes
which are to 20 by the way Of the war

ARGUES RAILROAD MAN
Says Advances Have Not Kept Pace
with Higher Operating Costs.

II railroad freight and passenger rates
had increased in the same proportion as
the average rise in commodity prices in
the last twenty years. the people OF the
United States would have paid $l.654. 900
more for transportation in the year 1915
than they actually did pay. Julius Krutt-
schmitt. chairman OF the executive COM
mittee of the Southern Pacific Company
yesterday told the Newlands joint Con-
gressional committee investigating ques-
tions pertaining to railway regulation.
In an analysis of railroad conditions Mr.
kruttschmitt declared that the average
passenger rate per mile had been reduced
from 2.4 cents in 1895 to l.9S cents in
1915. a decrease Of 3 per cent. and the
average freight rate had fallen from
s39 mills to 7.3 mills. or 10 per cent.
During the same period the cost of rail-
way operation per train mile increased
from 80 cents to SITS, or SO per cent. II
rates had risen proportionately, Mr.
Kruttschmitt said, the average passenger
rate in 1915 would have been 295 cents or
50 per cent higher than 1t was and the
average freight rate would have been In
