HERALD COMPElS COMPANIES
TO ESTABLISH OFFICES HERE.

Ii will be remembered by our read
ers that the express office, was es-
tablished in Algiers through the eff
forts of the Herald At that time. be-
fore the establishment of the express
office here, the Herald entered suit
before the Railroad Commission
against the different express com
panies asking that the Railroad Com
mission direct that an office be es-
tablished here in Algiers. The case
however never came to trial before
the Railroad Commission for the fact
that all of the managers of the diff
ferent express companies in the city
held a conference with the proprietor
of the Herald. and came to a written
agreement, whereby an express office
was to be opened here. provided the
Herald withdrew its suit before the
Railroad Commission, asking that an
express office be established here, by
order of the Commission. The con
ference between the express managers
and DR.. Kraft was held at the office
of the Herald in Algiers and we still
have in our files, the signed agree
ment of all the express companies,
agreeing to establish an express office
in Algiers. provided that the suit was
withdrawn.
When the express office was eS'
tablished in Algiers the Herald with
drew the suit, and the office has been
maintained ever since.
We have never heard a single com
plant in regards the office now es-
tablished here in Algiers. The eX-
press matter is handled by Mrs. w. =.
Salathe, a very intelligent woman d
business woman, who is capable OF
taking charge of much larger affairs
than the conduct of a small branch
express office.
We have on this side of the river,
exclusive of Jefferson Parish. a popu-
iatiOn of very nearly 10000 people,
and to deny us the use of an express
office over here, would be great in
Justice that all of us are ready to fight
against.
In the superintendent letter to the
Railroad Commission, he says:
The business of the agency has
never justified any facilities beyond a
crude office in the back of a wet gro
Gerry"
In answer to this, The Herald is
willing and ready to prove at any
time, that the express companies DO
not send all the express matter to Al
giers that should be sent there. We
are often in receipt of express pack
ages addressed to the Herald, and
plainly marked 500 Nerret St, but
instead of the package coming to Al
giers. as it should and according to
the agreement of the different express
companies with the Herald, we re-
ceive notice from the city that the
package is in the city and we are
compelled to go to the city TO get the
express matter instead of sending 1t
TO the Algiers Express Office and
giving this office credit for the bust
ness. If this is true in one case, 1t
is true in hundreds of other cases,
and it is for this reason the office in
Algiers, does not get the proper "a
mount of business. II all the ex-
press packages addressed to streets
in Algiers were sent to Algiers il

why the Algiers Express Office should
be closed is as. follows:
New Orleans, La. Aug. ., 1918.
Mr.. Henry Jastremski, Secy..
Railroad Commission of Louisiana,
Baton Rouge, La.
Dear Sir:
For the past several years. Wells
Fargo and Company, has maintained
an office at Algiers. The business of
/ the agency has never justified any ia
cilities beyond crude Offie in the
] back of wet grocery, with the pro-
pTietor as agent, etc.
The major portion of this business
now handled at this office is for the
| l. 5. Naval Station and the Naval Of
/ ficer would prefer To transact all Oi
iheir business through our New Or
leans main office than to have a pOr
ton OF it 90 to Algiers as is now
being done.
| Moreover, there does not appear tC
have been any real need for an eX
press office at Algiers as nearly al
of the residents of that section have
more or less business at New Orlean:
proper and could doubtless transact
their express business through tn,
main office with more satisfaction thar
they could through the sub-oftice a
Algiers
The office as it is now being con
quoted is very much of a source O
annoyance to us, and unless the Com
mission may see some serious objec
tiOn TO closing it, we will arrange tC
| discontinue it at once
Yours truly,

BROUGHT THEM UP STANDING
American Soldiers Misunderstood
Cockney's Announcement and
Wanted a Cut OF That "Pie."

Stories of the Thanksgiving day din
ner which certain tea shops and res
taurants prepared for American sol
diers In Paris are still current with
guesses as to how many turkeys with
their "fiNings" We're consumed.
One of the best yarns is told of
party Of Uncle Sans engineers who
had their spread at an English tea
place near the Madeline, where an
elaborate menu at fixed price had
been advertised.
The soldier boys came early anu ate
steadily and thoroughly. Their per-
sistence and failure to show any signs
of faltering began to get on the nerves
Of the little cockney waiter.
After serving the second or third
round Of dessert and filing the coffee
cups several times he became quito
jumpy as the boys showed no signs Of
their intention to leave the table. Then
he had an idea-such as it was-he
would suggest it was time to settle for
their dinner.
"Py at the end p he shouted.
Every American soldier was on hiH
feet in flash.
where's that pie, cockney?" they
demanded.
But that waiter had started for
Blighty.

"FWeL, yes said Croehard
smiling, II shall not refuse. AT
Toulon, on the quay opposite the
spot where lies the wreck of La
Liberte, a friend of mine conducts
a cafe. 1t was he who noticed the
two Germans-it was he who gave
me my first clue. So he deserves a
reward on his own account. He is

condemned to prison for killing

no doubt recall the circum-

Lepine. Samson escaped the day
after he was sentenced. I could

NBut you did not arrest him -
said Crochard quickly.
II promised to take no action
until you and I had talked to-
gether. y
Thank you, M. Lepine," said
Crochard warmly. II have al

your word. 1t was / who assisted
Samson to escape, since his punish
ment seemed to me undeserved; it
was / who secured false papers
for him and established him at
Toulon. He has done well, but he
dare not have his family with him.
He loves his family, and without
them he finds life sad. M. Delcasse,
you have told me to name a re-
ward i ask that Samson may be
pardoned. =
1T is granted said Delcasse,
in low voice; but is there moth
ing else9 Is there nothing / can
do for you, my friend?''
Crocllard had risen and he and
the great minister stood face to
face. Yes, there is something.
SIR he said, which you can do
for me, and which will make me
very proud. You are great man,
and | admire you There are not
many men to whom I raise my hat !;
but salute you, sir, and I hope
yon will accept my hand!''
Delcasse S hand shot out and
seized Orchards and held it
close.

said thickly
But at the end of a moment,
Crochard drew his hand away.

said II am outside the law; you

But she is French still French to
the very core Of her and though

You must use great care. The
Germans are on their guard. Here
is something that will interest
you.
Marbeau took the order and
read it carefully.
II the magazines are flooded, y
Delcasse pointed out, we can do
nothing,
1t will be something to have
oceasioucd the destruction OF SO
much ammunition, Marheau re-
joined; but we are not taking
that chance. All our instruments
will be tuned and tested before we
start The Germans will hear those
signals but once
A little tremour passed across
Deleasse S face,
You believe in this invention, "
he asked. You have investigated
itG"
Marbeau shrugged his shout
ders.
Il know nothing more of it than
you do, sir. NJ. Ward tells me moth
ing, shows me nothing, persists in
working alone. He is most jealous
of it But yes-I believe; when !
remember the 18th of September,
l cannot but believe. /"
Delcasse was pacing to and fro,
his hands behind him.
Sometimes / doubt, Marbeau,"
he said. Sometimes | doubt. The
destruction of La Liberte may
have been one of those strange CO.
medicines which sometimes hap
pen. And sometimes l hesitate;
sometimes l draw back before the
idea Of this demonstration For
Morocco we no longer need it; I
have in my possession paper
which will win that battle for US.
But then, when I falter, the
thought of Frances future nerves
me. So | stand aside and let the
test proceed. But I warn you
again, Marbeau, to be most care
full. Do not neglect to provide q
way Of escape. Failure this time is
of little consequence-we can al
ways try again; but under no cir
cumstances must this machine fall
into the hands of Germany; and
for you and for Ward it must be
death before capture. He must not
be taken alive

beau, quietly.
IF you think Strasbourg too
difficult, it is not too late to draw
back. 1t was, perhaps, unwise for
me to select it,
"The more difficult, it is, the
more it will dismay the enemy" "
Marbeau pointed out. "Let us
try Strasbourg, at least. If we
fail there, we can try again some
where else
