BY BILL PRICE.

Direct motor delivery between pro-
ducer and consumer, cutting down
the numerous landings OF parcel post
packages under the present system. is
to be undertaken by the Postoffice
Department within thirty days, with
Washington as the radiating center
for the first big experiment in inter-
urban motor transportation
James I. Blakslee. Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, has authorized
the establishment Of the FIRST route in
the country for this new plan of try
ing to bring the producer and con-
srmer into direct and quick touch.
Mr.. BlaksIee holds that transportation
facility. such as 1t is proposed to
offer, is vitality essential for conserva-
ton OF the food supplies and the
lowering Of the cost OF living.
To Call On Farmers.
The initial route in the great
scheme which it is expected will be-
come national as soon as plans can be
worked out, is to be between Wash
ington and Baltimore. and is designed
to give these big consuming centers
an opportunity to get in close touch
with farmer-producers in the regions
surrounding those cities. Motor
trucks OF from one to one and a-half
tons are to be used, these being pre-
ferred because of their speed over the
larger trucks.
One truck will leave Washington
each morning at o'clock. It will
operate by way of Rockville and
Gaithersburg to Mt. Airy, Nd, where
It will meet another truck that leaves
Baltimore at 9 o'clock in the morning,
operating by way of Ellicott City and
West Friendship. Another motor COW
ering the territory between Gettys-
burg and Mt Airy viii meet the other
two at Mt Airy. Exchanging their
parcel post and mail packages at Mt.
Airy they will go directly to their
respective destinations, reaching
Washington and Baltimore at 2:30
o'clock in the afternoon
II the shipment to any one patron
is large enough 1t will be delivered
direct by the motor wagon taking
it to the respective cities. II the
quantity is not large It will be turn
ed over to the Postoffice Department
and delivered the same day through
regular parcel delivery wagons.
Service to Be Extended.
The idea of Mr.. Blakslee is to have
parcels put into the wagons delivered
on the day Of their receipt and, in
many cases. on the day of the order
sent to the farmer. A consumer In
Washington, in touch with q pro-
ducer along the line, will be offered
facilities for this contract through
information that will be supplied by
postmasters at any point He may
write the farmer the night before
and the letter or postal will leave
washington at 8 o'clock on the motor
wagon, reaching the farmer along the
line in time for him TO prepare the
package for return delivery on the
same wagon.
Especial effort will be made to bring
consumers in the two cities and along
the route into touch with the big
farmer markets in both cities.
within another thirty days 1t is
proposed to have a route running be-
tween Washington and Richmond,
the motors going down one day and
the next Other routes will
be established for the benefit OF the
two cities reaching into Virginia

LORD CECIL RDICULE
IDEA OF SEPARATE PEACE

LONDON, Oct. 26.-Lord Robert
Cecil, minister of blockade, has
nailed another German lie in denying
emphatically reports inspired by Ger
many that England was planning a
separate peace at the expense of Rus
sia and Roumania-
The English government Is deter
mined to abide by Russia and render
every assistance possible in perpet-
uating her nsw-found liberty, said the
minister.
"The government also realizes" he
continued. "the great debt owing the
Roumanian government and army.
and the Roumanian people can rest
assured that this country will not
desert them in the present crisis"

of St. James (5:16) Pray one for
another that you may be saved, for the
continual prayer of the just man
availeth much" These texts are Ger
tainly sufficiently explicit exhortations
to pray. Let US, therefore begin at
once to pray without ceasing.
Jesus lover of my soul,
Let tine to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high.
Hide me. o my Saviour hide,
TIL the storm Of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
Oh, receive my soul at last,
Other refuge have none;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave oh, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me-
All my trust on hTee is staid
All my help from Thee 1 bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow Of Thy wing
Kind readers. the following PRAYER,
for peace is prescribed by our holy
Father, the Pope, and l trust, my
friend, that you will recite it at least
once daily if not oftener 1t may he
truly applied as golden key to open
the gates of Heaven so that the world
may obtain the gift that it stands in
such dire need of, especially at the
present moment.
THE POPE PRAYER FOR PEACE.
"DismaYed by the horrors of a war
which is bringing ruin to peoples and
nations, we turn, 0 Jesus, to Thy
most loving heart as to our last hope.
o God of Mercy, with tears we invoke
Thee to end this fearful scourage; o
King of Peace, we humbly implore the
peace for which we long.
From Thy Sacred Heart Thou didst
shed forth over the world divine charity,
so that discord might end and love alone
might reign among men. During Thy
life on earth Thy Heart beat with ten
der compassion for the sorrows of men;
IN this hour made terrible with burn
ing hate. with bloodshed and with
slaughter, once more may Thy divine
Heart be moved to pity. Pity the
countless mothers IN anguish for the
fate of their sons; pity the numberless
families now bereaved of their fathers;
pity Europe, over which broods such
havoc and disaster.
Do Thou inspire rulers and peoples
with counsels of meekness, do Thou
heal the discords that tear the nations
asunder; Thou who didst shed Thy
Precious Blood that they may live as
brothers, bring men together once
more in loving harmony. And as once
before the cry of the Apostle Peter:
Save US, Lord. we perish Thou didst
answer with words of mercy and didst
still the raging waves, so now deign to
hear our trustful prayer, and give back
to the world peace and tranquility.
And Thou, o most holy Virgin, as IN
other times of sore distress, be now
our help, our protection and our safe
guard. Amen"
