order to avoid embarrassing delays.
As the delay in mail not local. neither it an incident of
times only Mr. Ryan that months before
the the Postoce department had instituted changes that
impaired the efficiency of the mail service Summing up the
policies which brought about the decentralization of the mail
service Mr. Ryan cited three specific for the
unsatisfactory conditions:
First the mails worked stations rather than
trains enroute.
'Second in praccng false economy the department has
instituted method of cutting down railway mail space
trains and employing smaller force to work trains
Third, trained men being put the surplus list while
inexperienced lower salaries being taken into the
service without regard for civil service''
is very frequent observation that transmission of mail
from the sender to the adressee requires about "a hours
longer than before the present methods of handling adopt

of combined military action with a
view to driving out the Germans and
suppressing by force of arms the
treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which was
treacherously signed by the Bolshe-

the boys of the first division navy
scouts. This would require that the
class be somewhat more efficient in
both foot drill and signalling, but in
the event that the plans are carried
out, the boys will be provided with
uniforms from Washington. consisting
of 1 blue suit, one white suit, leggings
and caps.
The work of the Junior Naval
Scouts is well known turnout the
country. In New York the youngsters
secured about 200 enlistments for the
navy and marine corps and they have
repeatedly assisted the Red Cross and
generally rendered service to public
officials in patriotic, charitable and
other work. The movement is spread
ing thruout the country. The motto
of the organization is DO the right
thing always" and the boys, among
themselves, are the sharpest critics of
the delinquent.
The local class is learning obedience
and are beginning to carry their
shoulders squarer and their heads
higher as a result of the training
they have gone thru. The class will
continue to meet every night at the
Y. NJ. G. A. and march to the state
house grounds for foot drill. They
will soon begin with the setting up, or
physical exercises. Tuesday night
they will sing the Star Spangled Ban
ner" from the south steps of the state
house at o'clock, in compliance with
the request that the national anthem
be sung thruout the United States at
that time.
