PARCELS BUSINESS INCREASES
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. Post
master General Burleson's annual
report, made public today, says the
European war has cost the American
postal service $21,000,000 but that
economies of administration have re
duced the audited deficit to a little
mora than $11,000,000 for the fiscal
year which ended last June. Consid
erations of service, the report says,
were placed above all others, and
notwithstanding adverse revenue con
ditions, expansion and Improvement
of postal facilities continued. Had
H not been for economical reorgan
ization begun before the war started
and continued since, the postmaster
general says the audited deficit
would have been at least $24,000,
000. Of the total deficit, however,
his analysis of the department's fi
nances declares that all but a little
more than $300,000 was the result
of Increases of postal salaries and
additional railway mall pay required
by law.
Chief among recommendation to con
gress are a renewal of prevlovs proposal
for a p'lange from tha weight to ths
apace basis of fixing- pay to the railroads
for carrying mail; a renewal of recom
rnendatlons for government ownership of
telegraph and telephones; removal of th
four-pound limit on first class mall, ard
the adoption of more liberat limitations
n the weight and insurance of parcel
post packages.-
Expansion of Pnrcel Post.
The greatest expansion in the post-
office, the report shows, was in the par
cel Dost. Btatlstlcs gathered from fifty
principal rostofflccs show It to be half
of all the postal business, and that more
than 1,000,000,000 parcel's are being trans
ported every year. Before the parce.
post was established not more tnan one
fourth that number were handled. The
amount of postage collected from that
source approached 12,000.000 during the
first fifteen days of October this year
alone.
While the war has crippled the money
order system, it has boomed the postal
savings banks. The number of depositors
and the amount deposited exceeded any
year since the banks were established.
More than a half-million depositors were
on the books at the end of June, 1916, a
gain of 85 per cent for the year, and they
had on deposit nearly S6S.000.O0O. a gain,
of more than 60 per cent. The increases
In deposits In some cities was remark
able. They Increased in New Tork, 199
per cent; Bridgeport, Conn., 183 per cent;
Brooklyn, 167 per cent; Paterson, 16J per
cent: Jersey City, 122 per cent; Detroit,
112 per cent. Other cities showed gains
ranging from 60 to 100 per cent Of all
the depositors more than 68 per cent were
foreign born and they had more than
71 per cent of the total deposits. The
figures are represented as showing plainly
the attraction of the postal banks to, the
Immigrant.
Fraudulent Concerns Barred.
The activities of thjs Postofflce depart
ment in suppressing fraudulent use of the
malls are unabated. The report saya tha
department is working In close co-operation
' with those Interested In purifying
advertising columns, and that during the
year flfty-aeven concerns or persons were
banished from the malls, and 1,900 lot
teries were barred out.
The subject of railway mall pay. which
Is one of spirited controversy between the
Postofflce department and the railways,
the postmaster general's report treats at
length. It describes the situation as acuta
and urgent, pressing for Immediate ad
justment, but expresses regret that the
railway mall reorganisation bill was
killed In the last congress.
That Idlotlo Interrogation. "Why Is a
spade?" was finally put up to the United
States government for answer today.
Jerry B. Sullivan of New Tork, presi
dents of the United States General Board
of Appraisers, presided over the hear
ings In a court room of the federal build
ing. "It la one of the strangest problems
that has ever come before the board,"
said. Judge Sullivan.
The people In the court room made It
unanimous. Beside this question, other
things that the great throbbing heart of
the people have sought to know pale Into
Insignificance. "Who struck Billy Pat
terson?" and "How old is Ann?" are
easy In comparison.
The complaint was filed by the Wright
tt Wllhelmy company, wholesale hard
ware dealers. In Omaha. The company
Imports spades and shovels. Up to last
July the spades and shovels came In
free under the section of the tariff sot
which says that "agricultural . Imple
ments" shall come In free.
Last July Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Peters made a ruling that a
spade Is an agricultural Implement, but
a shovel is not.
So the poor shovels were torn from
their cousins, the spades, and ordered to
pay a 10 per cent ad valorem tariff be
fore they could come Into this land of
the free and home of the brave. Spades
continue! to come in free, being. In the
opinion of the astute assistant secretary,
"agricultural Implements."
"For." said he, "a spade Is used and
properly used to spade up the around, a
primary agricultural process. It Is use
ful for practically nothing else. But a
shovel, why a shovel can be used for
anything by anybody. Doctors, lawyers,
preachers, cabmen, coal wagon drivers,
ashmen and garbage collectors, all use
shovels. Everybody uses shovels, but
only agriculturists use spades."
Therefore a shovel Is not an agricul
tural Implement.
Judge Sullivan will carry back the evi
dence submitted st the hearing to his
eight fellow members of the board of
appraisers and they will try to decide
Just what, where and why a spade is.
Also the history, development and pres
ent political, social and psychological
status of the shovel.
Judge Sullivan was accompanied by his
secretary. E. Nothlger. He called on
T. J. Mahoney and other friends with
whom he had dealings when he lived In
Iowa some years ago.

ON BOARD 8TEAMSH1P OSCAR
II, 'Dec. 13. (By Wireless.) A
resolution condemning President
Wilson's preparedness policy brought
a protest from prominent members of
Henry Ford's peace party last night
when it was presented for adoption.
The resolution was drawn up by the
Rev. Jenkln Jones and the Rev.
Charles F. Aked and others, who
asked that it be signed by all mem
bers of the party as their platform.
More than a dozen members, In
cluding S. 8. McClure of New York
and Judge Ben B. Llndsey of Denver,
refused to sign on the ground that
the resolution was unpatriotic. Some
of them even threatened to leave the
party after It reached Europe It the
proposed platform were put through.
Its supporters said the opponents of
the resolution failed to understand
the spirit of Mr. Ford's Invitation.
Messages to Monarch.
An appeal to the rulers of Europe was
sent out by wireless today addressing
Individually to ach reigning monarch,
reading:
'Sirs: We come In this time of trouble
not to add to your burdens, but to help
lift them, not to consider which nations
are most to blame for the disaster that
has .befallen Europe, but to end the
strife, not to Intrude ourselves upon your
national Ufa and national Ideas, but
rather with an earnest desire to under
stand them and a heartfealt wish to
aid In realising them.
Tha love of country for which every
day tens of thousands of lives are
sacrificed la the same In every land.
Your nation like the people of all the
other belligerent countries is fighting for
lta national existence and Its beat na
tional traditions so there can be no Ir
reconclblle differences. Such common
ideals surely must afford a basis upon
which to establish a magnamanous and
honorable peace.
The time has come to stop the blood
shed, to save the people from further
slaughter and the civilization of the
world from anarchy and ruin. Has not
war been tried enough in sixteen months
of fighting? Is it not proven that war
cannot solve the problem, but that it
leads only to loss and mlseryT Must
Uvea be crushed and wives and mothers
bereved before we recognize that Europe
la bleeding to death and that the grevlous
wound must be staunched T
Saaaesta Armistice.
"We neutrals are about to join In
conference which shall without delay
frame and submit simultaneously to you
and all the other belligerent nations
proposals as a basis for a discussion
leading to the final settlement There
fore we do earnestly entreat you and the
rulers of all the other warring nations
to declare an Immediate truce. Let the
armies stand where they are. Then let
the negotiations proceed so that the
soldiers may be delivered from another
bitter winter In tha trenceha and sent
back to their labors and their firesides.
As there Is no other way to end the
war except by mediation and discussion,
why waste one mora precious human
llfeT For the sake of humanity.

who arrived here today from the

here by the Americans, every bouse In
Fronteres was looted and all women and
girls were being violated.
The mountain pass esst of San Joaquin,
leading to the Santa Rosa road, the dis
trict's outlet Into Chihuahua, was de
scribed by the Americana who visited the

shambles, with Villa dead piled about

yesterday, according to reports received
here today, driving off 200 mules loaded
with grain from the American-owned

The bodies of six Mexican laborers
employed on one of the ranches were
found near a wrecked harvesting ma

LONDON. Dec. 13. The Evening
Standard, reviewing the American
note on the Ancona case. Is unwilling
to believe "that America Is prepared
to exact a proper penalty for the out
rage." It adds:
"The note Is firm and definite, yet
in view of the fact that previous
worse outrages ended In smoke, the
public will prefer to wait before ap
plauding the heroic stand."
The Westminster Gasette says:
There is no weakness or hesitation
in the note, which Is more consonant
with the position of the United 8tates
In the world than have been the mes
sages In other cases of wanton outrage."
Contrast wMh Lnsltanla Note.
Contrasting the tone of the note sent
to the Austrian government by the
United Statea with the note aent to .Ger
many after the Lusitania disaster, the
Dally Express concludes that "the note
would have been more Impressive it it
had been addressed to the power capable
of Injuring the United States Instead of
to Its ally, from which the United States
has nothing to fear."
Continuing, the Express says:
"It was a monstrous and cruel act.
but not a whit more criminal than the
sinking of the Lusitania. Tha note aent
to Vienna, however, is direct and almost
bereft of compliments, Germany may
sin with practically Impunity, but woe
to Austria If it follows in its friend
footsteps,"
The Dally Chronicle, in an editorial,
cays:
'Both President Wilson's 'description
of the outrage anV his demands are per
fectly Justified, but would not both have
been even more Justified in the Lusi
tania case? However, we may congratu
late the president upon his novel vigor!
His demand for the punishment of the
captain of the submarine may cauae a
semi-humorous complication behind the
scenes, should it turn out that he u
German officer commanding the sub
marine."

BERLIN, Dec. 12.-KVU London.)
Count von Reventlow, In the Tsges Zel

German naval and military attaches at

impossible that the request that they be
recalled was not due to political reasons.
Ho knows of no case, he says, in which
the recall of both military and naval at

to learn what position it will take. He
quotes with approval the remarks of the
