MAIL RULES FOR
ARUNDEL-ON-THE-BAY

After strenuous efforts on the part
of Postmaster T. ]. Linthicum, there
has been satisfactory arrangement
made through the Washington post
office authorities for free Rural De-
livery Route at Arundel-on-the-B Bay,
where there are some thirty families
quartered for the summer season.
Before the establishment of the
Rural Free Delivery this summer col
ony had its own postoffice, and mail
was carried down from Annapolis
office TO the public hall at Arundel.
where the postoffioe was located. The
arrangement was most satisfactory,
as mail was distributed and dispatch
ed at regular intervals daily.
After the R. F. D. was established.
however. the mail facilities were none
the best and this summer have been
even worse, all the mail for the entire
colony being dropped at the farm en-
trance a mile away, from the residen-
tial section, and into the one box of
the Keeper of the place.
AS much important mail comes to
people at Arundel. the Postmaster
was appealed to and has been work
ing on the matter which he took up
with the authorities at Washington.
The result is, beginning today the
Motor Route carrier will carry the
Arundel mail into the colony at a
given point, in front of the caretak-
er's house, where the residents will
be obliged to set up Rural Free De-
livery boxes for their individual mail.
The families. however, may share one
box. Names must be placed on
boxes

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, April 13.-All efforts of the
German high command for the present
are directed toward the systematic dis
location of the British armies. Having
failed to break the communications be-
tween the British and French, the enemy
has turned his sole attention northward,
and it appears likely that the Germans
will continue to throw all their available
strength in that direction.
The enemy's plan seems to be to de-
liver a succession OF hammertng blows at
different points between the Somme ana
the sea- with the desire of bringing
about a British evacuation Of the entlre
northern district Of France.
Six German Armies Fighting.
Six German armies are participating
in the battle raging along the front
They are as follows: Won Arnim's. Won
Quests, Otto Won Bellows. Won Mar
Wits Won Hutier's and Won Boehm' s,
on the east of the Disc.
The Germans, owing to their posses
sion of interior lines of communlcatlon
inside the semi-circle formed by the
front, are able to move their strategic
reserves with greater facility than the
allies and thus by surprise attacks with
rapidly concentrated superior forces can
compel the retirement of the allies at
any point. Hitherto, owing to the great
tenacity of the allies, the enemy has
been unable to carry out his plans OIL

NINE. NIX'S LETTER
is INTERCEPTED
Woman, Held as German Spy,
Writes Warning to Count Rob-
ert de C1airmont.

NEW YORK. April 13.-Suggestions
regarding answers to be made to prob
able questions and a warning to be
careful were written by Nine. Char
lotte Elizabeth Mix from Ellis Island,
where she is held awaiting deportation
as an alleged German spy. to Count
Robert de CIairmont. who is a prisoner
at Bellevue Hospital. in a letter inter
cepted by agents of the American Pro-
tective League. it was learned today.
Nine. Nix and de Clairmont were ar
rested several weeks ago on charges of
spying. together with Nine Despina
Davidovitch Storch. young Turkish
woman, who died soon after her re-
moval to Ellis Island. The count and
Nine Nix came to this country together
in 1914. as Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts. and
travelled extensively in the United
States. with the count posing as the
woman's cousin, according to state
ment issued by the Department of
Justice at the time of the arrest.
In the intercepted letter. it was said
tonight, Mime. Nix told the count of an
swers she had made to the government
agents and cautioned him to say that he
had met her first at Nice: that their
relations We're platonic and ideal.
She told the officials, she is said to
have written. that she had used his name
because sit was cheaper and just a little
foolishness." and instructed him regard
ing what he should say about a trip they
are said to have taken to California. She
told him. it was stated. that she had
spoken highly of him to the officials.
