MAIL RUSH NOW
ATHIGH MARK
Daily Business in Washing
ton Exceeds That of
Christmas.

The Washington postoffice daily
handles more mail than went through
the local postoffice on the busiest day
OF the Christmas rush of 1917, records
for the week ended October 81 show.
This Increase, an official of the Di-
vision of Mails of the local postoffice
stated, has been gradually developing
during the year.
On Monday, October p. 1.O55, SO arti-
cles were cancelled. This is equal to
two of the busiest days of last Christ
mas week. Letters and parcels, num-
bering S1l, AS, were cancelled on Octo-
er-23, as against col, ,73l on the corre-
spending Thursday of last Christmas
week. The daily average of the pieces
cancelled for the week ending Octo-
Der % was 721, ,S41. The daily average
of cancellations for the week ending
December y, 1917, was 502.o5O.
Pouches More Numerous.
The same comparison holds in re-
gard to the number of letter pouches
dispatched and the number of letter
pouches received for the week ending
October 26. The largest number of
letter pouches that was received in
one day during the Christmas week
was 625. On every day but Sunday
during the week from October 20 to
26 that number was exceeded On
four days of the week there were
more than 800 letter pouches dis
patched. Approximately 1851 letter
pouches were sent out during last
Christmas week, while 5,3O2 letter
pouches were forwarded for the week
ending October 9S
More than 4,639 letter pouches were
received for the week beginning Octo-
Der 20. as against 3.2O2 bags of mail
entered at the local postoffice for last
Christmas week. This report shows
that more than 300 letter pounches are
received daily in comparison to the
busiest week of 1917.
''As a war measure" an official in
the Division of Mails said yesterday,
the people of Washington should be
urged to shop early and to mail their
Christmas parcels early. The ten
dency of the public is to wait and
mail their packages so that they will
be received on Christmas Day. This
causes unnecessary congestion at the
pOstoffice.

asked.
Because in two weeks we shall
have completely annihilated Serbia.
We think that will put the allies
in a frame of mind to discuss peace.
My visit to Falkenhayn is to COM
plete arrangements for the invasion
of Egypt. In a very few days we
expect Greece to join us. We are
already preparing tons of provisions
and fodder to send to Greece. And
when we get Greece. of course,
Rumania will come in. When the
Greeks and Runanians Join US, we
| shall have 1,0O6. 900 fresh troops. We
shall get all the guns and ammHni-
tion we need from Germany as soon
as the direct railroad is opened. All
these things make it an excellent

of peace"

that Germany would never sur

would insist on the return of all

apparently useless to discuss peace
unless England first won some great
military victory.
That may be so,' replied the
graf, but you can hardly expect
that Germany shall let England win

Trouble at Landing Time and

Garget, or Inflammation OF the ewes

attention. The udders Of heavy milking
ewes are likely to become inflamed and
as a result the ewes may have milk fe-
yer. Overlooking Of grain, colds. chills
and lying on wet floors are some of the
causes of this condition. When discov-

II can be rubbed with turpentine and
lard, or with one-half ounce Of lead
