Thomas at once relieved Rear Ad
mlral Edward B. Barry as commander
In-chief of- the Pacific fleet , in pursuance
suanco of orders received from the
navy department. Admiral Barry has
requested Immediate retirement in the
service under the rule of more than
forty years' service.
The cause of Admiral Barry's sud
den desire to * leave the service aftei
having held the post of fleet com
mander for only a few months , is the
subject of a great deal of gossip and
speculation in naval club circles here
Stories reflecting seriously upon the
character of the retiring admiral are
being circulated widely , and naval
officials have taken cognizance ol
them. There is an Intimation In these
stories that the admiral has been
forced to retire.
Tlio stories concerning Admiral
Barry are of a nature reflecting upon
liis moral character. According tc
reports published hero the admira !
sent his request for relief to Wash
ington following a conference with the
staff and line officers on board the
West Virginia Tuesday night.

Country Trade and the Parcels Post
Saturday Evening Post : A country
merchant In Now England writes us :
"My experience In competing with the
mall order houses leads me to thin !
a parcel-post system would bo a bone
lit to me rather than an Injury.
"Quito often Ifono of my customer !
could buy from a mall order house
some small article that struck lili
fancy and have the article elellveree
cheaply by post , that would bo the ex
tent of his mall order purchase. Bu
ho does not want to pay high oxpresi
e'harges on tlio articles , so ho and hit
neighbors will pore over the catalof
and pick out enough goods to make i
ft eight shipment. The result Is tha
tlio mall order house , Instead of sell
Ing live pounds , sells n hundree
pounds or more. "
How many other country merchants
would llnel the same conditions anion ) .
their customers with respect to mail
order business ? Isn't there , In fact , t
continual drumming up of trade foi
mall order houses by purchasers wlu
wish their neighbors to join them , Ii
older to make up a bulky shipment bj
freight and avoid high exprosi
charges ? So far as we know , mil !
order houses have never taken an :
particular interest In the parcels-post
Is this because they are satisfied wltl
a scheme that Induces purchasers te
buy In bulk ? This phase merits con
federation.
The parcel-post , llmilcd to rum
delivery routes as recommended b\
the president , would certainly benoll
the country merchant. Wo doub
i hat an extension of the system wouli
leally Injurn him.
