Motor Route to Carry
Mails East and South

Beginning February IA. a motor
mail route will be established be-
tween this city and Hagerstown and
this city and Reading, according to
plans recently announced by the post
ofhce department. Bids will be ad-
Nertised for, to be accepted up until
January 2, the contract awarded to
cover the period from February IA,
1918, to June 80, 1921. The idea of
the project is to bring the country
producer and the city consumer to-
gether in the distribution of prod
ucts. Harrisburg is one of the first
cities to be benefited by the new
project.
The drivers of the motors on the
routes will have all the authority
for selling stamps, accepting money
orders, registering mail, etc, as a
postmaster, and collecting and deliv-
ering parcels on the route every day
except Sundays. Liquor will not be
accepted for collection or delivery.
The Reading route will cover Hum
melstown, Swatara, Hershey. Pal
myra. Annville, Lebanon, Avon, My
erstown, Womelsdorf. Robesonia and
Sinking Springs to Reading, a dis
tance of 5l.5 miles. The carrier will

American Property
Under Trusteeship
in German Territory

Berlin. via London, Dec. 20. = The
property of Americans in Germany
has been placed under the trustee
ship of the German Government.
There is no indication. however, to
confiscate property or to infringe on
the personal rights of the property
holders.
The ederal Council has empower
ed the Imperial Chancellor to author
ize the appointment of administrators
or trustees for American commercial
interests and private holdings in Ger
many as a reprisal for the Govern
mental administration of German
property in the United States. The
German action primarily aims at pre-
venting the illegal sale and transfer
of property and contemplates neither
confiscation nor infringement.
Americans will not be restricted in
the use of their incomes or in the con-
duct of thir commercial interests.
They have not been molested in their
personal freedom and are permitted
to leave Germany under conditions
similar to those of subjects of neutral
countries.
