mail bag), locked and sealed with the
State Department seal, and rushed to
New York.
The pouch would be turned over TO
the ships captain and placed in his
safe. When the vessel docked at South
ampton, 1t would be met by an official
of the American embassy who would
get the pouch and carry ii personally
to London.
There are two keys to that pouch
One is at the State Department. In

A different procedure is followed on
the continent. There Paris is the dis
tributing point for Europe. Diplomatic
mail consigned to the various capitals
of Europe is cleared through Paris by
couriers.
There are two such couriers operating
out Of the French capital. And there
are three routes they follow. These
routes are the northern, which covers
the northern part of Europe; the
middle and the southern. One courier
takes care Of the northern and middle
routes. The other has the southern.
The couriers traverse each route once
a week, delivering and picking up the
diplomatic pouches as they go.
Diplomatic pouches for the Far East
are consigned to the various capitals
and redistributed from there. Pouches
for South and Central America are dis

or boat to receive the pouches.
There is one diplomatic pouch that
goes all around the world. At each

succeeded in burning the residence

morning, while the family was
visiting at Boca Chica beach.
Residence Razed
The blaze, apparently carefully
planned after two previous attempts
had failed, had gained such head
way by the time ID was discovered
tn efforts Of firemen to control
the flames were futile. Damage was
estimated at $4,000.
Last Sunday morning at 7 o'clock

was informed by a small boy that
the house was on fire. The family
was at the beach for the weekend
and DR.. Chambers. with the aid OF
the boy who had informed him OF
the fire, eXtinguished the blaze
after two beds and window sills
had been destroyed The family
returned Sunday night and dis
covered that dead grass had been
piled on the front porch and set
fire. The blaze died with little
damage to the porch. Officers be-
lieve the beds were fired when the
attempt on the porch failed.
%Incendiary Origin
AS the family was away both
times when flames we're discovered
and with the discovery OF the at
tempt to fire the porch, the fer
cedes fire marshal declared this
morning there is no doubt that the
blaze was OF incendiary origin.
Officers were working on meager
clues this morning but no arrests
had been made. Total destruction
OF the residence left no clues as TO
the methods employed by the fire
