ARMY FOOD SALES
TOTAL 80 MILLIONS

Thirty-three thousand postmasters
today are tabulating andrforwarding'
to the War Department orders for
more than $5O.OOO.OO worth of food.
Assistant Postmaster General Blaks-
lee estimated.
This is the result Of the sale OF
army surplus food by parcel post.
Millions more in order will have
piled UP by tonight. Blakslee said,
when the postmasters will close their
order books.
Delivery of the food has already
begun in many sections of the coun-
try.
Wen close our order books to-
night only for a check up" said
Blakslee.
Many postoffices probably will be.
open again for orders in a few days.
Hundreds, however. will keep their
order books closed because their full
quota of food has been ordered.
The $50 900, 900 estimate made by
Rlakslee does not include sales in New
York city, Connecticut and New Jer-
sey, where the War Department late
Monday withdrew the parcel post dis
tribution plan because cities had
bought the district food quota.
Blakslee's estimate is based on tele-
garms from widely separated districts
which show how housewives are press
ing forward TO buy army food by
parcel post.
In many cities, hundreds stood in
line to hand in their orders. In Phila-
deIphia, 5000 orders were received
Monday, the first day of the sale.
In some sections orders have been
handed in to postmasters in carload
lots. where office workers and neigh
bors dubbed together. One California
rancher bought carload for his own
use.
1T cost him about $500 for 10000
pounds OF food" said Blakslee. The
parcel post charge was about $500.
making the total cost to the rancher
about $500. At ordinary retail prices
a carload of food would have cost him
around $4,000"

Marriage to Mrs. Castle -.
3 Months After TernOn
Died Denied by fireman

ITHACA, y. Y, Aug. 20-Robert z.
fireman, former captain in the air
service, denied today that he and
Mrs. Irene Castle had been married
secretly a year previous to their mar
riage at the Little Church Around the
Corner in New York, on May 3, last.
Commenting on the report of a
secret marriage printed in New York
today, fireman said he was stationed
in Michigan May q, 1918, the date
when he and Mrs. Castle were said
10 have been secretly welded at
Pickens, S. c.
NEW YORK. Auga 19.-When Mrs.
Irene Castle, widow of Vernon Castle,
famous dancer and aviator, was mar
ried to Capt. Robert Z. fireman, of
Ithaca, n. Y, at the Church of the
Transfiguration in this city on May 3,
last, she had already been the wife
Of Captain fireman for almost a year.
On May p, 1919, a few days more
than three months after the tragic
death of Vernon Castle at the flying
field at Fort Worth. Tex. when Mrs.
Castle, by all published accounts, was
still in grier over the death of her
husband, IL is alleged. she and Cap
tain fireman, then a Lieutenant in
the flying service, went to Pickens,
s. c., where they were married by
the Rev. Frank A. Julian, pastor of
Christ Episcopal Church, Of Green
Vile, S. c.

According to her statement made at
Grcenville at the time Of her first
marriage to Captain fireman, Mrs.
Castle was actuated by two motives in
having the wedding kept secret. She
told DR. Julian that she was a busi-
ness woman; that in spite Of romantic
stories about3herself and her late hus-
band, Vernon Castle. they had for
three years been nothing more than
business partners and were utterly in
different TO each other.

j. S. MAY SOON OWN
PACIFIC ISLE OF YAP
Bit of Land May Renounce
German AntecedentS to Be
U. S. Cable Station.

The little island of zap achieved
notice yesterday at the White House
such as it has not had before. Tuck
ed away in the Pacific all. these years.
it has maintained a mafdenly mod
esty and, so far as is known. never
has been ambitious to attain nOto-
riety. President Wilson in speaking
OF it confessed that only a little
while ago he never had heard OF il.
But it is possible that it will soon
take a long leap higher by altogether
renouncing its German antecedents
and becoming altogether American.
Further, it is not beyond question
that it alone will constitute the in
demnity which the United States will
receive through participation in the
war. United States naval authorities
have suggested that it would be most
valuable to the country as a base for
cable and radio communication. The
matter still is under consideration.
And yet zap not long ago had quite
a position in international affairs. 1t
is one Of the Caroline group of is
lands and closely crowds the 10th de-
gree latitude and is 40 degrees east
of Greenwich. Only in modern times
have the natives there been recon
ciled to the presence OF foreigners,
and it was only in 1879 that Spain
attempted TO assert her rights, claim
ing the group. These were contest
ed by Germany, whose flag was hoist
ed on zap.
6 The matter Of possession was re-
ferred to Pope Leo XIII in 1885 He
decided in favor of Spain. but gave
Germany free trading rights. In 1899
Germany took over the administra-
tion Of the islands from Spain, paying
25,O0O,OOO pesetas.
zap otherwise is called Zap, or
Guap. It is about 40 miles south
west of Guam and directly east of the
northern end Of the Island Of Minda-
mao, Of the Philippine group. Even
on the small maps il is little larger
than an astigmatic speck, but its r.
latiOnship in position to other islands
shows its strategic importance, par
ticularly for means OF communication
The island includes seventy-nina
square miles and has a population OF
1900. II was the seat Of the German
administration of the West Caroline
Islands.
