RIDDELL.Y
The undersigned joins with General
Superintendent Riudell in his apprecia-
ton. During this Christmas period all
previous records of the post office de-
partment have been eclipsed.- We believe
the final figures viii demonstrate % to
90 per cent. increase over last year.
Everyone did his duty nobly The
public responded to, the urging of the
postmaster general for early mailing and
secure packing of parcels. The post Of
fee handled The mail promptly and eff
7ciently. The railroads cooperated TO the
fullest extent With facilities and men.
The railway postal CLERKS. the transfer
clerks, > and the terminal r. P. O.
clerks, together with the supervisory
force all met the situation with the en-
scurcefalness which is traditional Of the
railway mail service, so that the slogan

enemy and waited orders for carryin
out the final phase OF their mimic battle

theoretical ''island" represented by
sector of the north bank OF the creek.
For half an hour after advance was
sounded the rattle of machine guns and
roll of rife fire told OF additional de-
tachments landing behind the curtain
created by bursting smoke shells. The
temporary trenches were swiftly con-
solidatcd and the umpires announced the

successfully carried out.

fectly have these devices been worked
out that nm average Of so per cent OF
hits has been secured by the guns at
night. according to the calculations OF
those In charge OF tho work.

OF spectators was tho little band OF
