POSTOFFICE DEPARTMNT
CLOSES MOST NOTABLE YEAR
II HISTORY OF SERVICE

(By Harry s. New, Postmaster GEM
During the closing year the achieve
ments cf the postal service have been
notable. Being the agency Of all
business its volume of transactions has
been immense. It's organization in
cludes more than $4,000 employees.
Approximately 1000. 600, OOO pounds
o. mail originating in the country
were transported, handled and de-
livered, not 70 mention the foreign
mails reaching our shores. The serv-
ice issued in value about q 800. O00,-
coo in domestic money orders and
paid orders aggregating a Ike sum
in value. It carried billions in values
in its registered mails. The revenues
from the service were about $780,
0O0, 900, an increase Of 10 per cent
over the preceding year.
The outstanding fact of the years
work is that with this vast volume Of
business representing a material in

WAR DEPARTMENT
ON PEACE BASIS
AMERICAS POPULAR SYSTEM
OF DEFENSE IS PROVING
VERY SUCCESSFUL
CBx John W. Weeks. sec'y of war.)

(By John W. Weeks. Secy OF war;
The year 1923 has been the first
since the World wal during which the
war department could give fairly COM
plete attention to normal p%eace-time
activities. After the war, the depart
ment was occupied TO a large extent
with problems of readjustment, which
gradually decreased until the past
year, when it was free to concentrate
practically all of its attention upon
training and mobilization programs
Disposition has been made Of most o.
the wartime surplus. Temporary
camps and army bases had been dis
mantled or sold. Caretaking detach-
ments had been released for their
proper duties. The regular army
! units had been r-ecOncentrated and
relocated after successive reductions.
Plans for the ALLEGATION Of the Ma
tional Guard and the Reserves had
been completed. The National Guard
had been reconstructed and the or
~ganization Of the organized reserves
was we'll under way. The army was
ready to give careful attention TO pre-
~paration for future service.
The chief tangible accomplishments
of the year have been a general prog
ress in training Of all military ele-
ments, the growth and further organ
ization of the reserves and reserve
headquarters, and the development Of
plans for mobilization. The number
Of reserve officers has grown from
$4,000 to $4,000 and the commissioned
strength Of the organized reserve d.
visions from 61h per cent to 81h
per cent. With establishment and
preliminary functioning Of these skele-
ton units and headquarters in the To-
cal communities about the country,
it has been possible to make arrange
ments for mobilizing our mar power.
In June, 1928, we were able TO an
nounce that we had, for the first time,
a completed scheme Of mobilization.
/, This we consider a noteworthy
achievement. 1t is all the more note
worthy because it also comprises the
mobilization Of industry, Of civil
. products as we'll as Of citizen soldiers
. Manufacturers Of all sections have
. voluntarily assisted the war depart
. ment and, although the need for stric-
: economy restricted the work TO very
modest limits, there have been def
mite indications Of thu success O

REVIEW OF

Prize Peace Plan, Submitted
to Referendum, Is Target

EDWARD w. BOK'S prize of $780,
Il OOU for the best practical plan by
which the United States might coop
crate with other nations to prevent
war has been awarded to d com
petitOr whose name is not yet an
nOunced, and the plan is now being
submitted to the people in a nation
wide referendum The reactions of
Americans of various schools Of thought
are interesting and sometimes amusing.
Briefly summarized, the plan is:
81. That the United States shall en-
ter the permanent court of interna-
tiOnal justice, under the conditions
stated by Secretary Hughes and Presi-
dent Harding in February, 1923.
"2. That, without becoming a MEM
Der of the League of Nations as at
present constituted, the United States
shall offer to extend its present CO..
operation with the league and partici-
pate in the work of the league as a
body of mutual counsel under cOndi-
tons which:
ga Substitute moral force and pub
lie opinion for the military and ecO-
nomic force originally implied in ar
ticles 10 and Is:
"(b) Safeguard the Monroe doc
trine;
"(c) Accept the fact that the United
States will assume no obligations IN
der the treaty of Versailles except by
act Of congress;
"(d) Propose that membership in
the league shall be opened to all n
tons;
"(e) Provide for the continuing de
velOpment of international law"
Advocates Of American membership

FeservatiOnists," though admitting
there was nothing novel in the scheme
gave it their hearty approval. The
"irreconcilables" and all those who be
lieve the United States should stanC

rope naturally denounced the plan a.
merely al argument for entering thu
league. They asserted that the jury o
award was packed and that the whOlI
affair was a conspiracy. The concern
exhibited by some of the members o
the senate was almost ridiculous. The,

NXTLLIAMSON county, Illinois,
w wherein is Herrin, scene of the
mine strike massacre, is offering an
other lovely spectacle TO the nation.
Members of the Ku Klux Khan, lead
by federal prohibition officers, have
been making numerous raids on places
where liquor was sold and have made
scores Of arrests, all without notifying
the sheriff or asking his aid. The
citizens who are opposed to both the
Khan and prohibition resented these
acts, and the sheriff prOfessed to fear
the outbreak Of serious hOstilities. So
he called on the governor for state
troops, which were sent to Marion, the
county seat. Very likely the soldiers
were needed, for both the Khan and a
rival organization known as the
Knights Of the Flaming Circle were in
fighting mood, and nearly every man
in the county seems to have acquired a
gun.

The decision said that by the recap
