To the average observer it might ap-

Millions of
Army Letters
Undeliyered
Eight to Ten Cars of Mail
Are Being Sent Back From
France, Says Praeger
Go to the s'Dead'' Office
War Department Solely to
Blame, Assistant Postmas-
terTells Senate Committee

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.--From eight
soldiers are undelivered in France
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Praeger told the Senate Post Office
Committee to-day, and "thousands and
probably millions" of letters addressed
to the men overseas will arrive in New
York soon to be sent to the dead let
ter office, where an attempt will be
made TO return them to the writers.
Blame for the failure to deliver this
mail was placed on the War Depart
ment by Mr.. Praeger, who again ex-
planned that the army authorities han
die all soldiers mail in France, the
Post Office Department delivering out
going mail at Hoboken and receiving
returning mail at the French ports
Mr. Praeger said one way to i'm
prove conditions overseas would be to
send a force Of experienced mad
clerks to France to deliver the mail
to the soldiers.
Tied Up in Interior
Members of the committee sought to
ascertain whether there was any de-
lay at French ports in handling mail
coming to this country.
"The trouble does not lie at the
ports" declared Mr.. Praegcr at lies
in the interior. The mail gets tied up
cOmc1rh ro bc+u,oop a,,,o,, 1,o, ,o,,.+o,,
the censors and the ports"
Mr.. Praeger told the committee that
one reason for the confusion in the de-
livery Of mail to soldiers was the fail.
ure of the War Department to keep
up Its index system. This same cause.
he declared, also was responsible for
the departments delay in sending out
allotmenss to soldiers and in reporting
casualties.
Another source of delay in deliver
ing mail promptly, he added, was the
transferring Of units of troops from
one port to another, but he said this
would cause only few days delay, as
the mail could be forwarded readily to
the moving troops.
Asked what facilities the War Dc
partment had for handling mail, Mr..
Praeger said about fifty experienced
mail clerks were sent by that depart
ment overseas, while the rest of the
necessary force for this work was
made up Of inexperienced men.
Pleads for Air Mail
The Second Assistant Postmaster
General appeared before the committee
to urge appropriations of $4,000, 900 for
the maintenance and development Of
the aerial mail service. He predicted "A
great future for this service. and de-
clarcd that extensive plans for devcl-
oping aerial mail facilities arc being
made by France, England and Canada,
the latter now planning the establish
mcnt of all airplanc route connecting
Montreal with Boston.
Replying to questions of Senators,
Mr.. Praeger said the cost Of operating
the air mail service between Washing
ton and New York in the last six
months was 1876, while the revenues
totallcd S6O,653.

THE AlRPLANE IN AGRICULTURE

In connection with scouting and
other survey work In Texas, the Uni.
ted States Department Of Agriculture
is putting the airplane to its first
practical application in agriculture.
A try-out of this method of survey
was made last year along the Trim
ity River and resulted in the discov-
cry Of several outlaw cotton fields In
heavy timber, which had previously
escaped detection. This year the air
plane il to be used more extensively.
1t has bee found q valuable aid IN
pink bollworm work, as It makes pos.
sible the easy mapping, by means Of
photographs, Of the quarantined terri.
tory, and facilitates the inspection
work in forested areas especially in
such long stretches Of country as the
valley Of the Rio Grande and its trib-
utaries.

the trouble and knocks It out Of the
system entirely.
Dreco acts on the bowels relieving
constipation, rouses lazy liver to

and helps them strain the poisons
from the blood thereby relieving

resignation was never accepted and
