MAI, TO SOLDIERS
IS OVERBURDENED

the pieces of parcel post and papers
| required 1852 sacks. When this mail
was unloaded at a French port the let
tiers filled completely one of the small
French cars, which are half the size OF
the American mail cars, but the par
cells and papers required train Of 10
cars.
Waits for Days on Cars.
The mail that is unloaded from the
ships must frequently wait days at
the port before cars can be spared
from the heavily burdened railroads
In France to move the mail.
When the United States army pos
tai service was first inaugurated mail
reached all of the camps in the coun-
try In one to two days, according to
distance and train connections. Today
mail, by reason of its vast volume and
the heavy demands on the railroads,
frequently takes six days to reach Gen.
eral Pershing's headquarters.
According to a report from New
York and Chicago of some of the con-
tents of this parcel post matter to the
troops, 12-hour inspection of the par
eel post as 1t was being searched for
inflammables and explosives disclosed
among other things, 1,642 boxes Of
matches, 2e1 cans Of solidified alcohol,
224 cigar lighters TALL of these of the
greatest menace to the safety of the
ship, 1,24S cakes, 3,S18 packages Of
candies, 1882 bars of chocolate, be-
sides countless scores of useful, as
well as useless, articles, including
a bouquet of artificial flowers, baby
outfit, and bottle of whisky.
The question this state of affairs
raises is: Why send apples and or
anges that become bruised in the long
transit and rot in the stuffy holds of
the ships, when the recreation rooms
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton and other welfare organizations
serve fruit fresh from Italy and Spain,
that takes up no cargo space; why
send cakes and candies and chewing
gum, when the post canteens sell IL
varieties of cakes and cookies, fresh
baked in France, at American prices,
or bare shade higher; why try to
send across vast quantities Of matches.
which endanger the ship and which is
a penitentiary offense to place even In
the domestic mails?
Can Buy Same Articles In France.
Two-thirds of the articles found in
12-hour inspection tour when work.
ing the soldiers parcel post are on
General Pershing's canteen list and
sold in retail quantities to the soldiers
at practically wholesale prices.
The question will have to be ans
wered by the relatives of the soldiers,
or 1t WILL of military necessity, be
answered drastically by the authori-
ties in France charged with the re-
sponsibility for the success Of this war.

the pilots and observers of the Royal

RABBI WISE A PATRIOT

Carnegie hall has heard fervent
words from the lips Of Rabbi Stephen
S. Wise, leader of the Free Synagogue
of New York, but perhaps none more
ferventi than those uttered when he
called upon Morris Hillquit and "other
American bolshevilzi' to withdraw
from the leadership in Jewish life, at
least for the period CT the war.
Doctor Wise was born in Buda-
pest, Hungary, in 1872. His father,
Rev. DR.. Aaron Wise, was for long
time rabbi of the Temple Rodeph Sho-
lom in New York, where the son was
educated. He attended the College of
the City Of New York and then Column
bia university, FROM which he was
graduated. After studying theology
at the Jewish Theological Seminary Of
America he became assistant rabbi of
the Madison Avenue synagogue, in
1893. He was made rabbi the next
year, and retained the pulpit until
1900, when he went to Oregon. In
