Mail Service P
Virgin Islands A
zen The
re

In order that he might work up some
interest in the matter of good mail SER
vice to the Virgin Islands amongst those
who would be likely to become bidders
for such service, the postmaster has
been advised CT the recommendation
proposed to the Department for mail
contract service for the four year period
beginning July l. 1920, advertisements
for which will be published some time
next spring. 1t contemplates to provide
for a twice a week service between San
Juan, P. e., and St. Thomas, V. l., by
power boat, and a similar number OF
trips between St. Thomas and Christian
sted, by power or sail boat. The sche-
dulles to be observed on both routes are
such as will provide for The receipt of
u. S. mail from Porto Rico, ever on
occasions when there may be delays in
arrival of the mail steamer, and affords
ample opportunity for reply by the return
trip, it being so arranged that the boat
mornings will not return until Monday
evenings to effect connection with the
Porto Rico bound boat which will leave
St. Thomas Tuesday evenings, instead
of Monday evenings as at present.
When put into operation, this plan of
service should prove very satisfactory to
the public in all the islands concerned,
and ought to open up facilities for in
creasing trade with the island of Porto
Rico with which there will be regular
and up-tO-date communication twice
weekly. The postmaster will be pleased
to furnish ali available detail to those
interested in this business.

WASHINGTON. August 10. - Field
Marshall Won Mackensen and 5000 Ger
man officers have been In China since
early spring, training a Chinese army
OF 100000 men. according to nfor-
nation contained in a letter. DR.. L. L.
Scharf, Of Washington, announced to-
day that he had just received from his
brother in Germany. This was one of
the first letters known to have been
received here. since the resumption of
mail service between the United States
and Germany.
Press dispa tches from Germany and
nearby neutral countries for the past
several months have been conspic-
uously lacking in reference to the
whereabouts and activities of Field
Marshal Won Mackensen, who became
one OF the most popular OF the Ger
man commanders as a result of his
succeSStul operations in Roumania.
Translates Letter.
The letter was written in German
According TO DR.. Scharfs translation.
ii stated:
General Mackensen has just re-
turned from China. where he went
early in the spring, at the invitation
or the Chinese government with 5000
German officers TO organize and drill
an ra, army OF 100000 men"
~ 'SbtSi WSil ol III explain, LIT.
Scharf said, that the field marshal's
object in returning to Germany at this
time was to secure additional officers
for the work in China. He expects to
return TO China al an early date and
continue the intensive training on an
even more elaborate scale.
DR.. Scharf has been in this country
for about forty years. He said he
took the oath of allegiance to the
United States about seven years after
his arrival. He was formerly a pro-
fessor in the Catholic University here,
and numbers among his friends many
men prominent in public life.
Believe News Authentic
His brothers political position In
Germany. DR. Scharf says. is such that
the information concerning Field Mar
shal Won Mackensen undoubtedly
reached him direct from government
circles.
Aside from the story of the reported
events in China the letter brought
some interesting news of personal
nature. Another brother OF DR.. Schnrf
and nephew. who were in the Ger
man army. went through the entire
war without scratch Two other
nephe~s.. in the French army. were al
most as fortunate. One escaped injury
OF any kind. and the other suffered
only slight wound in the foot This
was healed within a few weeks, and
he went back 10 active service for the
remainder Of the war.
