send a Christmas relief ship to Ger

of America that l am glad to hear OF
the Christmas ship which the Wom-
ans Church Committee of Interna-

women and children of Germany.
the appeal of little children is world
wide, and America never has turned
a deaf ear, whether the cry came
from Armenia or from the devastated
regions of France, from Rumania or
from the Far East. Such charity, is
I believe, an aspect of the good will
of America to all nations. of our
desire to promote durable peace
through mutual understanding"
The ship, which will sail November
TO-, will be followed by a group of
American women, who will speak in
Germany in the interest of interna-
tional friendship. A church COM

Universal Congress Puts
Levy Back to Pre-War
Basis.
BY GEORGE WHITE.

By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
STOCKHOLM. August 27.-The
eighth Universal Postal Congress-
which adjourns tomorrow to meet
again in London in 1929, undoubtedly
will receive a vote of thanks from
business men, lovers and newspapers
with international relations. For the
congress signed conventions reduc-
ing postage to prewar rates and low
ering newspaper rate from two ounces
for l cent to four ounces for l cent.
The new rates become effective
October l, 1925. Rates for first-class
matter in the United States are not
affected, as the United States is prac-
to avail herself of the 100 per cent
increase authorized by the last postal
congress, at Madrid, in 1920.
The reductions in postage are made
possible by agreements signed by
81 countries lowering the transit
charges for first and second class
mail. Joseph Stewart. executive
assistant to Postmaster General New
who headed the American delegation
in commenting upon the reduced
newspaper rates said:
Aids u. :. Press.
"These lowered rates will help Amer
lean newspapers which give their
readers daily issues of many pages to
extend their circulation in foreign
countries. Representatives of many
of the smaller nations have pointed
out to me how expensive American
newspapers were. owing to the erect
of the high postage rates applied to
the large editions. For that reason
they said, governments whose means
were limited, could subscribe only for
two or three American papers"
This year is the fiftieth anniversary
of the ablishment of the Universal
Postal Union, and the congress au-
thorized the placing of a suitable tab
let in Stockhold to commemorate the
half-centenary of the formation of the
union. in which the United States took
