EASTERN MAIL
MUCH DELAYED
Blizzard in Chicago Causes
Unprecedented Congestion
Which is Felt Here.

The recent billiards. in Chicago
have nearly upset the delivery Of
mails all over the northwest, and, ac-
cOrding to a statement made at n
local post office today, this city feels
the ]acuteness of the situation very
keenly.
Mails from the east are from Sc to
48 hours late because such vast guam
titles have accumulated at Chicago
tate delivery and distribution in any
thing like the normal manne The
New York mail which here
! within about 48 hours from the time
of mailing. has required from three to
| five days for transmission during th1
early part of the week. and CORE
spending delay is reported from other
eastern points.
The communication between the
Twin Cities and Grand Forks appears
to be unaffected, but service between
Chicago and the Twin Cities has beer
practically crippled for several days.
According to reports received at tht
| post office here today. there is some
, prospect Of improvement soon as j
appears that the postal authorities il
Chicago have made considerable
Roadway during the last day or two.
:: Newspapers from the east-as vel
as from Chicago-have been much de
layed. but the delay also extends e
first class mail matter. One Bostol
letter was received by a bushes
house in this city today which hat
been mailed on Thursday Of las
week.
The difficulties encountered in tn
mail traffic are said by many to be alb
solutely unprecedented. There hav'
! been billiards. and subsequent delay
every winter, but v as far back a
! oldtimers can remember, of such
magnitude as this winter.

While many Of those who are IN

Syrian. The Syrians are not Turks.
They have e ruled by the Turks,
and the Turkish government has never
treated us we'll. We do not want any
more Turkish government in our
country. and we will not have it if the
Allies win the war.
