REASON OF DELAY

Assistant Postmaster Gen. Praeger
Says Postal Authorities Not Taken
Into Confidence BY War Dept. For
Military Reasons.

Washington. April 19.-Failure Of the
war department for military reasons to
take the postal authorities into their
confidence in the movement of troops
was given by Second Assistant Post
master General Prayer before the House
investigating committee today as the
reason for delay in the delivery Of mail
to American soldiers in France.
IF we cannot be given full informa-
ton about the troops, the army must
take over the distribution OF mail after
1t reaches France he said.
Mail from the United States to SOL
diers in Europe went at the rate Of A.
CO000 pieces a month before restriction
was placed on parcel post packages, he
said. In December $1,000 letters were
found undelivered at a French state
ment some postmarked in July. The
rapid movement of troops abroad with
only the army having knowledge Of the
change had caused congestion in the
delivery of mail, he said, adding that
one division of troops in France for
which there was a large amount of mail
completely disappeared, so far as postal
authorities had knowledge.
