PARCEL POST-BERRIES
 AND SOFT FRUITS

Office of Second Assistant Postmaster
 General.
 Washington, April 19, 1917.
 As the season is approaching dur ing which berries and soft fruits will be offered for dispatch by parcel post, the attention of all postmasters is in- vited to the provisions of section 475, Postal Laws and Regulations, as amended March 13, 1914, regarding the manner in which articles of this nature should be packed before being accepted for transmission in the mails.
 It has been found that these articles, while apparently solid and firm when offered for mailing, quickly ripen and become soft and when slightly crush ed tend to iquefy, causing wrappers to break and other goods inclosed in the sack or pouch to be damaged, Such articles should be shipped in a container of sufficient strength to pre- vent their being crushed and be pre- pared so that nothing can escape from the package. All parcels containing such goods should be carefully in- spected to determine whether or not they are sufficiently wrapped for safe transmission. All such parcels should be marked "Perishable" and if of such bulk or weight that they can not be safely enclosed in sacks or pouches with other mail, they should be for warded outside the bags.

WILL MAKE FIGHT
 ON DRAFTING
HOUSE COMMITTEE ADOPTS AMENDMENT, MAKING CON- SCRIPTION LAST RESORT.

Washington, April 19.-The lines were drawn today for great fight be- tween the administration and oppo- nents in the House of the plan to raise an army by selective draft. While President Wilson was at the capitol telling senators and representatives that no compromise between the vol unteer and draft systems could be ac- Icepted with safety to the nation, the House Military Committee, 12 to 8, adopted amendments to the admins tration bill authorizing calls for vol unteers in increments of 500,O0O and providing that the draft shall be ap- piled only in case the president de- cides that the force needed cannot be raised and maintained under the vol unteer plan.
 Chairman Dent headed the anti draft force and will introduce the amended bill today Representative Kahn, of California, ranking Republi- can, is preparing report to be signed by the minority and will help lead the fight for the administration.
 Senate Committee With Wilson.
 The Senate Committee formally vot- ed, 10 to ', yesterday to report prac- tically without change the bill as orig inally drafter by the general staff and approved by the president, and will present it today. The measure may be passed by the Senate without wait ing for action in the house.
 The president repeated his determi- nation to have the staff bill enacted. There seems no doubt that he will ap- peal directly to the country, if neces- sary, and tell the people that in the opinion of the military advisers of the government as we'll as administration officials, national safety demands that the war army be provided under the plans prepared by the army experts after long study and consideration of lessons learned from the war in Flu rope.
 The war department believes that every weakness of the volunteer sys- tenn would be perpetuated under the House committees scheme. A feature of the amendments providing for the selection of officers from local units is regarded by officers as particularly obnoxious to sound military principles. They say the task of providing com petent officers under this restriction would be rendered ten times more diff ficult and the efficiency of the army greatly reduced from the very start. The president believes that full oppor- tunity for volunteers is offered under the staff bill, since there will be room for 724,0O0 voluntary enlistments in the regular army and national guard for the duration of the war. In addi- tion the door is thrown wide open to men who are qualified to become of fieers.

Comstock on Consumption

After opposing the obligatory service bill,
Representative Comstock in the eleventh hour
assembled the band wagon and voted for the meas
ure. A perusal of the district papers ought to
convince Mr.. Comstock that his constituents in
the Sixth district demand the CONSUMPTION bill.
They are opposed to the volunteer bill. In this
district are thousands of men who volunteered in
the Union army and thousands Of their sons, but
the majority of them look with disfavor upon a
measure that penalties the volunteer and puts a
premium the slackers who stays at home and
make money while their neighbor fight for the
nation. No congressional measure of recent
years has attracted so much attention in the
Sixth district as the universal military service
bill, and few bills have received so much backing
among the voters as the measure which would
make every man directly responsible for the de-
Tense of the nation.

Fokker later carried out sue cessrul loping flights on monoplane with a modified chassis. During the war he developed this later type and supplied large numbers of the monoplanes and of biplanes with similar bodies to the Prussian, Ba. yarian and Austrian armies.
