New York, Nov. 1S.-Restoration
Of the sea-post to sort Americas mail
during its voyage from foreign lands
is being considered by the efficiency
engineers employed to investigate the
entire postoffice department with a
view to speeding up its work.
Before the war postoffice employees
Travelled on all mail-carrying steam
ers, sorting and routing letters and
packages during the trip. Govern
ment vessels met the big ships at
quarantine and rushed the pouches
to railway terminals here and in Jer-
sey City, but this has been discon-
tinued. Now mail arrives unsorted
and the pouches remain on the ships
until they dock, often many hours
after arrival at quarantine.
Speeding up the transmission Of
mail to the men in the navy, nearly
all of which is routed through New
York to the ships at sea, also is be-
ing considered. Expediting the mil
lions of letters which pass through
New York from Canada, New Eng
land and the middle Atlantic states
TO various parts of the country is
another aim OF the efficiency engi-
neers.
They expect soon to make a thor
ough investigation of salaries in the
department, pointing out that the
efficiency of the system is affected
by the morale Of the employees. All
other phases of the postoffice de-
partment. from its biggest terminals
connected by fast airplane to remots
rural delivery routes, are to be in
vestigated.
Whatever changes the engineers
recommended to abolish sluggish spots
in the mail-moving apparatus will
first be considered by the joint COM
mittee on postal service, which then
will pass the matter on TO con-
gress.

It also explained that indi- viduals and corporations trading with Russia do so on their own responsibil- ity and at their own risk. The gov ernment offers no protection to Amer jeans going to Russia
 While taken independently of other nations, the action followed extensive exchanges between America, France and Great Britain. It is believed the action was hastened by recent negotia- tions between Lloyd George and Greg ory Krasin, representative of the Bol- sheviki government.

ALASKA ROAD NOW ASSURED
 COMPLETION

 "Completion of the road is of spe- cial interest to our state, and neces- sary to the development of Alaska , he said. Congressman Miller and myself looked after it with special care and were able to have passed in congress the act increasing the limit of cost, so it is now only a matter of making appropriations and doing the work, J. P. McPherson, secretary of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, rendered val uable service in connection with this and is entitled to much credit for it's enactment"

INCREASING DEFICIT
 FACES THE CHINESE

PEKING, July 8 (by Associated Press) The Chinese government is running behind financially $1O,O0OO,- % to $12,OO0,0OO monthly, according to a statement made by an attache of the cabinet in conversation with news paper correspondents. The adminis- trative debt of the nation totals $270,- 100000, of which $18O,OO0,000 repre- sents loans by Chinese banks.
 The monthly budget aggregates $1S,OOO,OOO, with only $6,O00,O00 to S8,OOO,OOO available from ordinary sources of revenue Of this monthly expenditure more than per cent goes for military upkeep. To meet the monthly deficit drastic retrenchm9nt is said to be contemplated.
 Cognizance was taken of this state of affairs by Thomas Lamont, New York financier, on his visit here when he informed the Chinese auth critics that loans to China could he undertaken, among other considera- tions, only after China had demon strated her ability to balance" her budget for administrative and military expenditures.

 EXPENSES OF CANDIDATES

 Henry Lincoln Johnson, negro Re. publican national committeeman from Georgia and LoWden campaign mana ger there, confirmed the statement that he received $9O,0OO of Lowden money and said he spent $20,OOO. He claimed Wood spent $6O,OOO. He ac- cused the Democrats of spending large sums, buying votes at from $5 to $5,OOO each. In local elections, he stated that negroes who voted the Republican ticket have disappeared" and never have been heard from again.
 The committee will move to St. Louis tonight to make an investiga- tion of the Palmer campaign in Mis- souri, Chairman Kenyon announced this afternoon.
 Testifying late yesterday afternoon, William Loeb, eastern treasurer for Wood, told the committee a million dollars to finance Woods campaign was underwritten a year ago by a group of New Workers. George A. Whale, Ruinus Patterson, Colonel Am prose Mcneil and William Cooper Proctor each underwrote quarter of a million, and Loeb agreed to get the rest. A million dollars, Loeb said, is a small amount for a national cam paign. T want it plainly understood that not single promise was made by the general or his friends to a single contributor" Loeo declared.

OFFICIALS LEAVE SEATTLE
 ON SATURDAY FOR ALASKA

SEATTLE, July & (by Associated Press) ).-Commander Percy w. Foote, aide to Secretary of the Navy Daniels, arrived here yesterday to make ar engagements for the Alaska trip. It is expected the cabinet members will return to Seattle about July 25, prob ably spending a week inspecting the government railroad and coal fields.
 Colonel Alfred B. Brooks, chairman of the Alaskan committee, and geolog- ists in charge of the Alaska division, will accompany the party.
 Secretary Payne arrived last night and Secretary Daniels will be here tomorrow.
 Present plans. which may possibly though are unlikely to be changed, call for the departure of Secretaries Dan 1els and Payne and Admiral Rodman and party on six destroyers leaving Seattle Saturday morning.
 The first port of call in Alaska has not yet been announced and will be decided when all meet tomorrow.
 The battleship Idaho probably will be sent north to bring the secretaries back after a ten days or two weeks visit in the territory.
 ''The government is ready to develop Alaska but can do nothing without set tiers. Permanent settlers are Alaska's chief need" said Secretary Payne to- day. With working population, its development will solve itself.
 T think there is no danger, as feared by some, that Alaska will not be developed and that the railroad we are building will be useless for want of traffic. Congress has just appro- priated a million dollars for develop ment of the coal fields there and that is one of our main objects in making this visit. Under the leasing law the government is prepared to exercise the utmost liberality in encouraging the opening up of the territory, but Alaska must attract and keep more settlers, just as the west had to at- tract pioneers in the early days"
