Automatic Replacement Draft" or
some similar designation, and part OF
that particular draft may be sent to
one replacement camp in France and
part to another. Mail now forwarded
to these soldiers who have been scat
tered among organizations at the
front "floaters' mail"-goes to the
central postoffice at Tours and its
distribution there is still further
hampered by being mixed up with
the accumulation of misdirected mail.
1t is estimated that 100000 month
were delayed from this cause. This
delay in delivery will not occur un-
der arrangements which have just
been made to have each replacement
unit Of $50 men or less as it leaves
camp in the United States given
distinctive company number which it
will retain until it reaches a replace
ment camp in France. Every mem.
Der of such unit will then be one OF
$50 men instead of one of one and
half million. The John Jones of the
small unit will be easily located.
Delays in the delivery of mail
which cannot be avoided are liable to
occur at any time during period OF
great activity and secret movement
Of troops. Where the success of a
troop movement on the front depends
Ipon secrecy, mail cannot be sent to
members of mobile force until they
ire established at the selected des-
nation.
Every care is taken in expediting
he mail for wounded men in hcspi-
ais. The only delay in the delivery
It such mail is that which is abso- ]
utely unavoidable. A wounded man |

NOTICE TO CATTLE SHIPPERS.

The Federal Government K making an earnest effort to put Nevada coun- ty above the quarantine line It is possible for Us to have Il clean record at present if those who ship cattle from Nevada county will give us their cooperation. Nearly every carload of cattle shipped to St. Louis for the last two months has been free from fever ticks except for two or three head in each car.

 l am sure the shippers will give me their hearty cooperation in doing this as if will enable them to ship to the native pens.
 If shippers will dip all infested cat tie or days before shipment it will save them time and trouble. Mis- souri Pacific agents in Nevada county will notify me when cars are ordered and I will he present when cattle are to be loaded l would like for tha shipper also to notify me.

WOULD HAVE court
REFU-E L.0Y0R Licenses

The Rev. George A. Cooke appeared
in General Sessions Court yesterday
afternoon with a petition signed by 80
clergymen OF the city urging the court
to refuse TO grant any more liquor Ii
censes and asked for permission to
argue the subject.
The court, however, refused to hear
the clergyman's argument, suggesting
that he file the argument with the petit
ton with the court. This was done.
Among the contentious in the peti-
ton are: Liquor is a menace to SO
ciety; II has been banlshed from the
District OF Columbia by Congress be-
cause 1t is an evil; the use OF alcohol
is conducive to diseases that weaken
and destroy the lives OF our citizens !;
many accidents, causing loss OF life
and property, are the result Of intoxi-
cation; trouble and disorder are caused
by strong drink; Intoxicating liquor
has the effect in many people to make
them unruly and violent IN their con-
duct, causing them 10 be dangerous
