RESENTS CRITICISM
 0F DELAY IN MAILS
Postal Department BlameS Rail- road Conditions for Bad Service

Washington, Jan. 14.-Answering criticism, the post office department has issued a statement in which it ad- rnitted delay in the mails, but as serted that in every case the delay was caused by the breakdown in the railway service of the country. The statement follows. in part:
 Newspapers complaining editorial 1y of delay in the mail associate this with the fact that under the admin istration of MT. Burleson the postal service has been economically admin istered and a large surplus of postal revenues has been turned into the general fund of the treasury. In eff feet the criticisms are aimed at the policy of economical administration and are citations in support of an tagonism to the curtailment or un- necessary and eXtravagant eXpendl- lures.
 Reports from all branches of the postal service show promptness and ef- ficiency in the handling of the mail at this time, in so far as the postal service is concerned, not surpassed Tn any period in the history of the serv- ice, even when the expenditures were such as to produce d deficiency which
 
 this branch of the government, that should have been self-supporting. The records of the department do not show that efficiency has been prompt ed by extraVagant expenditures
 s"Under the present administration of the post office department the aim has been to avoid wastefulness of ,,ublic money, no matter what private or corporate interests might be served bv extravagance; but no expenditure required for the good of the service has been cut off and not a dollar has heen saved at the sacrifice of ef- fciency. There is no indication of here bv moro liberal lawful expenditure of money in any branch of the service under the control of the departm ent the delivery of mail could be facil- itated.
 Not Responsible for Delay.
 That there has been delay. some times quite serious, in the transmits sion of the mails is a matter of pup lie knowledge not disputed by the de- partment. But this is no more due to the inefficiency in the administration Of the postal service than is delay which Is much greater than that of the mails, in the delivery of freight and express carrying the necessities of life to merchants for distribution

delay in the delivery of coal and sugar, and were additional sums ex- pended much in excess of the surplus of the last ten years the mail could ir no wise be expedited.
 ''rhe Post Office department has regularly received telegraphic reports from all branches of the service, and these reports show that, notwithstand- ing an increase of above 25 per cent. in frst-class matter and approXl- rnately 40 per cent in parcel post, there was a marked improvement in the service during 1917 as compared with that of other years. A large volume of packages heretofore handled by express companies has been dl- verted to parcel post by the public to facilitate it's delivery. The reports on the holiday season show that with this enormous increase in the volume of mail, the only point where a con- gestion occurred in a post office was at Washington, D. C., and the con gestion there was due to failure on the part of the railroads to furnish sufficient rcarS, the mail matter through this office, by reason of its being the gateway to army canton ments and mobilization camps, haV- ing been increased to at least ten times the normal amount.
 "The delay in the transmission of the mail like that of freight, express, and passenger service, is due to the | congestion of the railroad system. Dur | ing November, 1917, there were &C., 1 TIP failures by mail trains to make I their scheduled connections One of | the most important mail trains carry i ing mail of Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and points west, failed | fully 70 per cent. of the time during l the last four months, and the princi- 1 pal train between New York and 1 Chicago failed T times of it's south west connection during three months and 57 times of it's northwest cOnnec- l tion.
 .MaryclIous Efficiency As rapidly as the mail has been de- ! liyered to the post offices by the rail
 roads it has been distributed and de- livered at it's destination. The depart
 ment is not criticising the railroads for 1 the existence of conditions, but in all 1 fairness, it is felt by the department. | 1t should be known by the public that
 the delay in mails is due entirely to
 railroad congestion, and should be
 measured up against the delay in other
 
 comparison would disclose marvellous
 efficiency on the part of the postal 1 service. The postal service has delfv- 1 cred it's mail as rapidly as it received
 it, and made a better record in 1917,
 under more adverse conditions, than
 any previous year.
 The fast that in addition to i'm - 1 proving the service, $9.0OO,00O has been paid into the general fund of
 the treasury by the Post office depart l ment, should not be made the subject 1 of complaint. Nor should inconven- | fence to the public resulting from war
 conditions which are felt with respect
 to all form of traffic, be made an ex-
 cuse for demanding the unnecessa ry l expenditure of postal service revenues , when benefit could not result from , such additional expenditure.

 Hints on Saving Coal.
 1. Cover furnace and pipes with asbestos or other insulation; also weathcr-s strip your windows, or stuff acks with cotton.
 2. Keep your rooms at 8 degrees. Best heat for health.
 3. Heat only the rooms you use all the time.
 4. Test your ashes by sitting. If you find much good coal, there is something wrong with your heater See q furnace expert
 ,. Write to the maker of your fur mace or stove for practical directions for running economically.
