PARCEL POST.
CoaSt-Wise Water Routes Have
Been Established.
Facilitates Service to Uncle Sans
Various Cantonments, Relieving
Railroad Congestion.

The post Office department has es-
tablished coastwise parcel post water
routes-primarily to facilitate service
for Uncle Sans cantonments-which
will operate to relieve the wartime
railroad congestion and expedite serv-
ice for the general public.
In the present congested condition of
transportation practically as prompt
service is to be obtained by water
routes to certain points as by rail, and
the railroads may by that means be
considerably relieved.
Steamer routes for parcel post have
been established from:
Boston to Norfolk,
Boston to Savannah,
New York to Norfolk,
New York to Charleston,
New York to Jacksonville,
New York to Savannah,
New York to New Orleans,
New York to Galveston,
Philadelphia to Savannah,
Philadelphia to JACKSONVILLE,
Baltimore to Savannah,
Baltimore to Jacksonville.
Special delivery, insured, perishable,
parcels too large for inclusion in sacks,
and eggs will not be carried on these
routes. All parcels will be placed in
bonded storerOoms on the steamers
and both the shipping and delivery OF
the parcels will be in charge of postal
agents.
About four carloads of parcels were
previously handled daily over these
routes, thus releasing that number OF
cars for general transportation service
II is expected that this service will
amount to several train loads daily
which will aid materially to relieve
freight congestion.
The department in various ways is
contributing to the relief Of the rail
road situation, in cooperation with the
roads, as far as it can without interfer
ing with the prompt delivery OF mall.
A considerable saving of cars anC
the occupation Of car space in depot'
Is being accomplished by routing
through cars for long distances where
it has been the practice to transfer
mail from one car to another at certain
distributing points.
The employment of two cars is In
volved in each transfer and in som'
cases two such transfers have been th'
practice. By a through-car routing
saving of both of cars and depot space
Is made.
A large number of through cars ar
now being routed from the East t.
such distant points as st. Louis, Kan
sas City, San Antonio, San Francisco
Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Jack
sonville and other points where here
tofore one or two transfers have beel
made.

war increases Federal jobs.

AS an example of the increase in Un-
Gle Sans employees since the begin
ming of the war the large addition to
the civilian force of the Ermy ord
nance department is cited in a report
to the civil service commission. In
the gun division, more than 1900 civil
ians and 300 commissioned officers are
employed. and it is estimated these fg-
ures will treble within a year. In the
ordnance departments manufacturing
plants throughout the country 10000
men are at work. twice the number en-
ployed last spring.

Money in Circulation.

Uncle Sans money in circulation in
the United States has increased to $4.-
924,92S,34s, a per capita of circulation
of $47.O3. The increase is due al.

bank notes. The amount Of gold coin

his hair waved over his left temple
and how he looked when that smile hid
just behind his lips and his eyes, and
he made her forget that she had lost
faith in him. She needed to cry, and
she needed to remember and also to
forget some things, for life was hard,
dull drab in Boise. with nothing to
tighten it save u vicarious hope that

Billy Louise was not stupid. She
saw through the vagueneSs of the doc

for her hills that she felt like beating
the doctors with her fists because they
did nothing to make her mommie well

Y. NJ. C. A. PRICES IN FRANCE

"The boys have made kick against
the prices charged in the Y. M. c. A.
canteens in France, and the boys had
a right to kick" says Capt. George M.
Lynch, formerly of Arcadia, where he
was superintendent of schools, and
now in the "Y" service having made
several trips back and forth in troop
transports.
"But the boys didn't know" says
Capt. Lynch. "They didn't know the

quest of General Pershing and were
not at first prepared to handle the
job-but they took it and did the best

country, had to ship them to the ter
minals, had to get insurance at war
rates, had to ship them to France, had
to unload them, had to ship them to
the interior Of France. had to pay for
handling every inch of the way.
"The boys didn't know that the sY'
had to pay for every inch Of handling
and transportation where the govern
ment could take it to its own ex-
changes in France on its own ships
and not charge one red cent to trans
portation, but sell at factory prices.
$50 at first the eY' prices were
higher. And the boys paid them and
have come to this country with a
kick. And they had right to kick.
"Now the government has arrang-
ed it so the sY' can buy it's supplies
from the quartermaster in France and
can sell at the same price over there
as the wholesale price in this country.
Since August 1st the 'Y' canteens
have been selling tobacco and other
supplies to the boys at the govern
ment prices. The boost of handling
has been eliminated, and now the
boys can get their due"
Here are some of the tobacco prices
in the tY' canteens in France which
are now in effect and are much
cheaper than goods can be bought
for retail in this country:
Fatimas, fifty centimes or about
eight cents.
Camels, thirty-five centimes OF

al lottery which, in measure, will
determine the order of the calling of
the 100000 men between eighteen
and forty-five years of age who reg
istered September IL, probably will
not be held before next week. Ofic-
ials had hoped to fix date late this
week, but this plan is understood to
have been abandoned in order that
additional time may be given local
boards to correct any errors made in
assigning serial numbers to the reg
istrants. Since men between nine
teen and thirty-six are to be the first
called. to the colors, the drawing will
have less effect upon determining the
order of the call than did that for the
nearly 100000 men who turned
twenty-one before last June 5. Order
numbers for all the 100000 men
will be drawn, but youths of eighteen
and men between thirty-six and forty
five will not be classified until the
boards have given classification to all
the men between nineteen and thirty
six, who are the first to receive their
questionnaires. In the meantime,
many of the nineteen to thirty-six
classes will have ben inducted into
service.
Reports received yesterday by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder from
nearly all states indicated that salts
factory progress is being made by
local boards in attaching serial num-
bers to the REGISTRATION cards, but in
one aor two instances mistakes by
local boards have made necessary the
REMEMBERING of the cards for all reg
istrants under their jurisdiction. No
date for the drawing can be fixed un-
til this work is completed.
Only five states have not reported
the totals of the registration. Unless
their returns show sharp decreases
under the official estimate, the total
registration will exceed the original
estimate of 12,77S,000.
