With reference to the above m~ail-notice,
it is desired to say that in spite of the
postal advices published in the Avis of
Feby 18th. it proves necessary to repeat
that the post office is not opened Tor bus
mess to the public on Sunday, and that
no stamps will be sold or money order
business done on that day. The drop let
ter box at the post office door is for the
convenience of the public and it is there
fore unnecessary to knock and inquire if
mail can be deposited there. The post
master is at the office on Sundays to over
come work accumulated during the past
week and it should be obvious tn t 0 n
tinual rappiugs at the door, ringing of
the telephone etc. must defeat such a
purpose.

Editor st. Croix Avis",

Editor st. Croix Avis,
My dear Mr.. Editor
Referring to my remarks in your
valued number of yesterday, | would like
to say in answer to comment in today's
Herald and correspondence in that paper
signed We'll Wishers'', that while writ
ten in the singular my sentiments in re-
gard to The Clutching Hand" are quite
general which can be substantiated by
the fact that the second exhibition of the
serial is scarcely drawing what can be
termed an audience at all. Strange that
according TO the Herald the people did
not grasp the story in the first exhibi-
tons and yet nobody seems sufficiently
interested to see it again Who ever
reads the same book twice, the one time
right after the other?
Would it not be more straightforward
to announce that there are no new pic
lures to show just now and so the old
Clutching Hand will be re-exhibited to
try and clutch what patronage it can?
Yours sincerely
PATRON OF THE THEATRE.

To oil Editors 0newspapers,
Santa CrWr, VI.
The 31st day of March, 1919, has been
set for a MAMMOTH PAGEANT, he
subject of which is "SAVING THE BA-
BIES". In order to make this parade a
success the support of every person on
the island must been listed. The owners
of vehicles including automobiles, carri-
ages, and carts, are requested when the
registration paper being sent out by the
Christiansted and Frederiksted Hospitals
reaches them to sign their names and
the vehicles which they can furnish in
Specification Of their willingness to as
sist this cause. Estate owners are re-
quested to organize their laborers and
obtain for the hospitals lists of those on
the estate who have and who are willing
to furnish vehicles. The vehicles fur
nished for this parade will be decorated
to represent some picture connected with
infant welfare and infant improvement.
In order to stimulate interest in this Oc-
casiOn 3 prizes will be offered for the
best decorated vehicles. One for the best
automobile, one for the best carriage,
buggy, phaeton, or similar vehicle, and
n for the best cart.
The purpose of this parade and its
necessity are so apparent that it is need
less to go into detail. Every one wfo
knows the island appreciates the terrible
infant mortality. What the Government
wishes you to do is to publish this letter
in your paper and keep the subject alive
each day until the 31st of March. 1t is
decided that the MAMMOTH PAGEANT
proposed shall be one such as the island
, 1919-02-28

in first considering the welfare and
progress of our island and anything
that will develop interest in this vi
tai question should have the sup
port of every intelligent man and
woman. We presume that further par
ticulars as to hour and place where it is
contemplated to hold the parade referred
to, will be furnished the public through
this medium.
The "Clutching Hand" was exhibited
at the Theatre last night. The attend
ance was fairly good in the general
admission but the reserved seats were
poorly %patronized. On Monday night
there is promised an entirely new pro-
gramme.

approximately 100000 service men

TRANSFER AT SEA
May Save LIFE
Engineer Of Freighter Oper.

the transfer of a desperately sick man

transport President Grant during a
terrific gale at sea and in the dark
ness just before dawn vas brought
20 port by the President Grant today
The transport, which was battered
10y heavy seas all the way across,
brought 65l soldiers from Brest and
tn sick man. He is Ignace Manoun,
one of the engineers on the freighter
West Hadley.
On Tuesday the President Grant
picked up wireless message from the
freighter. asking her to take off
Manoun who was seriously III. The
waves were rounding as high as the
ships upper works and the captain
realized that n transfer would be a
hazardous affair. but nevertheless he
called for volunteers and five seamen
stepped forward.
\ life boat with the five sailors and
petty officer was launched. The
tiny craft made her way to the West
liadley's side after heroic efforts as
the ships did not dare to approach
close together. Under the glare of
rockets fired from both ships and with
the seamen almost hidden at times
by flying spray. Manoun was let down
over the freighter's side.
The dangerous trip was finally COM
pleted and U. s army surgeon took
Manoun in hand.
Despite the tossing of the ship
Manoun was rushed to the ships hos
pital and the operation was per-
10 Imed. When the transport arrived
Manoun was transferred to the Ma
rine Hospital in Brooklyn where it is
said he will probably recover.
