Letters Sent Merely In
Care of u. S. Embassy In

London, Eng. Jan. 1s.-Americans
who write letters TO friends abroad
should take special pains to address
the letters adequately. II an exact
address cannot be obtained, and it is
necessary for any reason TO address

bassy in London" all possible details
regarding the person addressed
should be given on the face OF the
envelope for the assistance OF the
Embassy authorities
can Embassy here hundreds OF let
tiers, which have been addressed
casually care American Embassy
and which the Embassy officials have
no way Of delivering. If the senders
had even indicated whether the per-
son addressed was in the army, the
navy, the aviation corps, or the ma
ture Of his business in London, there
might have been a chance Of the let
ter finding its way, but without any
such particulars, the likelihood Of
its reaching its destination are rather
remote.
Some people at home seem to think
that the American Embassy in Lon
don is a small compact office where
Is kept a card index Of all Ameri-
cans abroad. AS a matter Of fact, the
American Embassy in London has ex-
banded since the war until IL occupies
a half dozen scattered buildings and
employs several hundred clerks and
secretaries Americans who call at
the Embassy usually have business
with only one department and the
clerks who have charge Of the casual
mail are extremely unlikely to hear
their names.

r ONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Jan. 19.
M Thousands of revolutionists,
= - members of the Blaneo party
who have been living in exile in Brazil
since their unsuccessful revolution of
1872 are expected to return from hid
ing as a result Of the approval Of the
new federal constitution by referen-
dun vote of the nation taken on No
vember 25.
One Of their leaders recently stated
that there were 1000 Uruguayan rev.
olutionists living along the Brazilian
side Of the frontier where they had
been ready to take up arms and in
wade Uruguay at short notice. Their
leaders say the exiled rebels probably
viii return to their homes in the be-
lief that the secret ballot provided
for in the new constitution will give
them representation in the govern
ment which they have coveted for
many years and to attain which they
have undertaken previous revolutions.
The coaches in which they have
buried their arms stretch along the
frontier from Uruguayana to Rio
Grande do Sui, where they were
ready for almost instant service, but
it is believed they will never be
opened as the revolutionary leaders
assert that the days Of revolutions
nave passed forever in Uruguay with
the adoption of the constitution.
Half n Century Under Ban.
For half a century the Blancos have
had no part in the government Of the
republic because of the strict control
which the Colorados have maintained
over the elections. The secret ballot
provided for IN the new constitution
is considered to be a concession TO the
Blaneos whose leaders promised to
support the other provisions If the
secret ballot was granted
One important clause Of the new
constitution provides for the separa-
ton Of church and state According
to some political leaders the winning
Of the secret ballot will bring about
the dissolution Of the Blanco party.

Germans Go Without
UndercIothes To Get
Dressed In Holland

The Hague, Netherlands, Jan. 10
Endless are the tricks Of the snug
gler. Prior to the advent OF cold
weather, Germans had been discov-
cred crossing the frontier into Hol-
land wearing no underclothing and
women wearing only a mantle They
were on their way to supplement this
rather scant raiment at some Meth
erlands store near the border. thence
to return homeward clad in genuine
wooden or cotton underclothes instead
OF the substitute materials wherewith
Germany is in these days arraying
itself. To counter this. method Of pro-
cedure, the customs authorities have
adopted the equally novel method OF
stamping the underclothes Of all per-
sons who regularly or frequently
cross the frontier. II such travellers
are subsequently found wearing IN
stamped clothes. these are treated as
struggled goods

desperate Of the bandits who have
been terrorizing the people of the ad-
joining state of Parana for many
months, has at last been killed by
the police, after a chase that was as
exciting as most Of Pinto's escapades-
Hardly a week passed that travellers

his absolute disregard Of danger made
him a terror to everyone who went
into that part Of the state
Recently his robberies had become
so frequent that the killing Of his
victims so numerous that the Brazil

by the state government to take him
dead OF alive. A searching party Of
five started in search Of him. g.
After a march of q miles the
searching party overlook the bandit
in a lonely section known as Can't

many OF his most desperate achieve

house Of a friend and the police IN
dertook to wait until he should leave
his refuge. but their presence was
soon reported to the desperate. who
mounted his horse and set out at
gallop to meet the police
When told TO dismount and con-
slider himself a prisoner, Angelo
dashed forward. shooting at the men
who had attempted to arrest him.
Dismounting and using his horse as
a shield, he continued shooting until
the police began to close in on him,
then he remounted and galloped away,
still shooting at the officers who
dared to pursue him. and he was still
shooting with a revolver when a rifle
bullet killed him. and he fell from

young man has associated with cul-

be built, and will include residential

= ONDON, Eng, Jan. 19-One Of the
greatest charitable gifts in the
- history Of India has just been
annoupced at Delhi The Maharaj
Kumar Of Tikarl, one Of the wealthy
native princes, has executed a deed
OF trust devoting his entire personal
estate to founding an institution for
the education OF Indian women. The
property concerned is valued at about
100000. IN view OF the much
greater purchasing power of money in
India. It is believed that the gift will
accomplish IS much prop5rtionately
as gift OF nearly ten times the size
in England or America
Dependent members Of the Ma
haraj's family have already been pro-
vided for by sepate funds, and all liza
biIities OF the estate are duly Sc
cured. The scheme is for a strictly
purdah" residential institution,
where the girls viii be trained and
educated on the best modern prin-
ciPles from the age Of five to is. There
VIII be no question OF caste or creed
Inspired By His Wife.
The gift owed its inspiration largely
TO the MaharaJs wife, who has been
one OF the foremost native Indian
women in the crusade for the i'm
provement Of the lot Of Indian women.
The Maharaj himself was one Of the
first native princes to fight in France,
and has spent over two years on the
battlefield He was brought up by
English tutors in India and has been a
great traveller.
The MaharaTs wife, in a letter de-
scribinE the gift, says:
