Troubles Of Postoffice Clerks AreMany;
Careless Writer'S Cause Many Of Them

a problem the government is at pres
ent considering. Every man in every
business. suppose, has his own par
ticular troubles" said a postoffice
clerk, "but there is nothing which
sends more real shudder of dislike
over the postoffice clerk than a whole
bunch of little invitation envelopes.
They are awful! They won't stick in
any place! They can't be stamped in
the cancelling machines but must be
done by hand, and often the writing
on them is SO small and cramped we
need a microscope to see them"
Envelopes of irregular size either
those too large or too small cannot be
cancelled satisfactorily, and when it
is considered that 500 to 1,AOO letters
minute can be cancelled on the
automatic cancelling machines, the
difference is readily seen. Over $4,000
letters are cancelled daily at the local
post office.
Towns without states make another
problem for the post offices. In the
United States there are 81 Richmonds
and yet dozens of letters come here,
and still more are sent to the dead
letter office at Washington with the
specific Richmond" The office here

Improperly addressed mail is esti-
mated by the Richmond postmaster to
cost the local postoffice $4,000 a year,
and an amount of energy on the part
of clerks which can not be accurately
expressed.
Envelopes with "Mr Smith, Rich
mond, Ind" are surprisingly familiar
to directory clerks. There are 100
"Mr. Smiths" in Richmond, not includ
ing the mail route Mr. Smiths. Among
those 100 there are twelve Johns"
and a like number of Charles" SO
"Mr John or Charles Jones" does not
simplify matters. A great deal OF diff
ficulty results from other prevalent
names as Thomas with 80 families of
that name in the city, of Johnson there
are SO families: Jones, 6S families;
Davis, SO families and number of
Nicholsons, Halls and Thompsons.
But it is often an unusual name which
causes the trouble, postoffice officials
say
For instance, man mailed letter,
enclosing a money order, from the
local postoffice a few months ago to
his wife. He mailed the letter, but he
neglected to stamp it, and he like
wise forgot to address it. Neverthe-
less when his wife did not receive
the money order in due time, her hus-
band came up to the local postoffice
and, according to Postmaster Beck,
raised bear" He demanded dupli-
cate money order, and was given it.
A few weeks afterward the dead let
ter office returned to the local office
letter which had been forwarded
there because of no address or stamp.
1t had been opened in Washington,
and was returned to Richmond as
there was Richmond office money
order in it. The money order, of
course, had no address, the name was
given, so the mystery was solved.
zone of the great and mysterious
happenings of the post Office said
Postmaster Beck. Such negligence,
however causes an inestimable loss
of time for investigation, and money
for the salaries of the men who have
to do it. The directory clerks must
spend at least five-sixth of their time
on mis-directed mail.
Another disturbing little ha bit, in
the point of letter writer's, is putting
stamps on the back of letters, in the
lower left hand corner, or elsewhere
out of place. This is very popular. it

WILHELM DECIDED
ON WAR IN JULY,
DOCUMENTS SHOW

LONDON, Feb. 14.-Some of the &C
cepted stories of the happenings in
the momentous days just prior to the
in a book based on official documents
and personal notes of diplomats and
officials to be issued tomorrow.
The book characterizes as fallacy
the belief that the assassination of
Archduke Francis Ferdinand at Sera-
jeyo was a "stage-managed affair.""
but 1t Is asserted from knowledge
gained from official documents that if
the assassination had not occurred the
war certainly would have been start
ed very soon
The famous Potsdam conference Of
July S, 1914, according to the book,
was not what generally has been ac-
cepted. The meeting took place, but
it was not a formal conference, as has
been declared repeatedly. 1t is as
serted that many persons who were
supposed to have been there were not
present.. Emperor William and men,
bers Of the German imperial staff
were present, however, and at this
conference Germany definitely decid-
ed for war.

The book was written by Prof
Charles w. G. Oman, president of the
Royal Historical society and a pro-
fessor of history at Oxford university.
