ouate. efficient, and expeditlous
mai, service to the boys IN Tue
trenches. We have today the most
v-retcbed mail service in the history
Of the Post ONCE Department, ana
nothing that Mr.. Burleson may say
n the contrary will alter that fact
The effect of such service on the
morale of our fighters can better be
inn eined than described. officers re-
turning from the front tell US TO
what nerve-racking environment
our soldiers are subjected.
Every letter home bespeaks the
meaning of a rs per cent. failure IN
getting mail to and from our boys IN
France. Who gets or what becomes
of the millions of letters lost? And
why are the ones that finally get
through so many weeks and months
on the way? Somebody responsible
for mail service that has been go

handling of the soldiers mail. A
resolution was recently adopted in
the Senate demanding to know why
letters were not delivered to Aneri-

receive single letter each
month from his people, although
they wrote to him four times
week. He cabled at last in dis
tress to know what had hap
pened to his people at home.
1t is apprehended that the soldier
in question was Johnsons son, so
that his proof were first hand, and
that it is one instance among thou
sands is confidently asserted. The
mail service at home is rotten
enough. but that our fighting men
should be victims of Burlesons in
efficient management is intolera BILE
There was never any complaint to
make with regard to our mail serv-
ice under the Republican regime, and
the boys may depend upon it that
the restoration Of that party tc
power will means the restoration OF
efficiency to the mail service.
The making of a Showing for
