TONS OF SOUVENIRS
 MAILED FROM EUROPE
Letter. Writing Has Also Increased 20 Per Cent. Among the U. $.
 Soldiers Overseas.

Washington, March 22.-Since the American troops overseas have stopped fighting they have taken to letter-Writing and remem bering friends at home with souvenirs from the battlefelds in France. This was indicated today by a postoffice de- partment announcement that the amount of mail from the American EXpeditionary Force had increased more than 20 per cent since the ces- satiOn of hostiities.
 The volume of souvenirs sent back to the United States by parcels post may be measured by the ton, the de- partment asserted. and they consist of all manner of odds and ends. Curios sent most by the soldiers are shell cases parts of rifles and revolvers bayOnetS, uniform buttons and small fragments of demolished airpIanes, Captured German helmets, however, are the most prized token Nearly 500,000 of these have come through the mail since the war began Postal requirements have been relaxed so that they now can be sent unwrapped with only a shipping tag for the ad- dress.
 Soldiers who cannot obtain souve- nirs to send to all of their friends at home content themselves with writing letters In February nearly P, 1000, ,0OO letters were sent from Bordeaux alone. Frequently 12 to 15 letters a day have been sent by a soldier, and one private established record by writing 90 in l single day.
 Mail from this country to the troops overseas now is being delivered with few delays, the officials said since ad- dresses of soldiers are not changed as often as before the armistice. A proper addressing of the mail now is the only source of trouble, it was stated

GILLETT AS SPE4lM M
 FOR HOUSE CONTR0l
His Forces, 10. Aid Him, Want to Take Steering Committee
 Away From Mann.

Washington, March 22.-The Gill lett forces on the republican side in the house are organizing to get con- trol of the steering committee in the next caucus to be called to meet two days before the extraordinary session convenes. This committee frames the legislative program and formulates the policy to be followed and it is considered all important by those who chose Gillett to be speaker that they control the republican pro- gram.
 The fight will be renewed by the offering of the amendment of Rep resentatiVe Royal Johnson of South Dakota increasing the size of the steering committee and putting a, ma jority of the Gillett men on it. The committee comprises four men for Mann and two for Gillett. The amendment would make the lineup six to four for Gillett and give him a word in the directiop of house af- fairs.
 Representative Longworth predicts the Gillett strength will win in the caucus, where it showed a lineup of three to one in the speakership contest He believes the men who defeated MT. Mann because of his 'reactionary" position on public ques- tions have not changed since the ac- tion in the caucus.
 On the democratic side ex-Speaker Champ Clark, the object of attacks by some of the house members, is sitting tight All efforts to draw him into controversy over the league of nations have failed.
