DIXIE DIVISION
 GOING TO FRANCE
humor That They Were Going to Siberia Has Not Been
 Sustained

washington, October Especial. )-The rumor that the Dixie division. comprised ot soldiers from Alabama. Georgia and rlor,oa' would be sent to Siberia, has not been substantiated
 1T IS now regarded as rumoi,-neretv III View of failure to develop the runor as 1act, 1t is taken for granted that these southerners will be given onnor- tlnlty to measure themselves against the pest that Germany has and win he in
 berlin when peace is written therein
 The rumor started from letters of pro- test Tiled by privates in the division at Mlnneola. They protested bitterly eatr~t what they considered their fate-a sen- tence to frozen Russia They wanted real work They wanted to duplicate and transcend the record of their brothers who have distinguished themselves in worldwide manner in the Rainbow divi- sion.
 When their protests became general an investiga tion was made in Washington.
 The war department simply replied that It had no record of orders having been issued for the transportation of the divi- sion for Russia. So positive was the state ment that it is now generally believed that finer berth is in reserve for the southerners and that very soon they will be in sunny France
 On account of the reputation made by Alabamians in the Rainbow division. it may be stated as a fact that the govern ment IS expecting great work from the labamians, Georgians and Floridians comprising the Dixie division.

BANKHEAD BLAMES
 BURLESON FOR THE
 BAD MAIL SERVICE
Says Postmaster General Has Put Economy Above Efficiency in Hand
 ling Mail

Washington, October 25.-(Special) )-For the derangement of the mail service, re- gsrding which complaints from all over the United States have reached Wash ington, Senator Bankhead chairman or the postoffice and postroads committee or the Senate, holds the policies of Post master General Burleson responsible.
 The chief contributing factor, accord ipg to the Senator, is the space system iraugurated by the postmaster general as against the weight system" as previ- ously employed. MT. Burleson substitut- ed the former for the latter for the pur- pose of saving money. The saving, If there has been any, is more than coun- teracted, according to the Senator, in loss of efficiency.
 Under the weight system" the gov ernment enumerated the railroads in ac- cordance with what the mall weighed Under this system the mall was weighed put aboard trains~and en route distribut ed Under the space system" the gov- erninent pays by the foot of space occu- pied. The mail is packed into compart- ments, and thus delivered to central points. Formerly mail for Alabama was distributed en route Now it Is delivered in punches at Birmingham and Mont gomery and distributed at those places.
 T think the space system is respon- sible,' said the Senator, flor the derange- nsent of the mail service regarding which complaints from all over the United States are almost daily received. Of course the greate bulk of business since the incipiency of the European war has contributed to the bad condition And yet I believe that had the postoffice de- parUnent been as keenly bent on giving would have been better satisfied. In sav- ing I doubt if the department has scored a success commensurate with the loss os good will of the people Of course trains have been taken off and mail
