British Headquarters, Frsilee.

Thursday.-The most. important hour of the whole day to the soldier at the front is undoubtedly that when the lllall fronl home is lille to arrive. The soldier ill the field appreciates his let- ters moro than anything else-far more than his rations.

The postal organization at the front

is so detailed aild so skilfully' planned that seldom, if ever, does the letter or parcel go astray through the fault of the post office. Ulidcr tho control of Colonel Warren, who held a sinlllar position in the Boer war, and wllo has a staff' of over 1,000 asslstallts. mostly trained postal servants t'ronl ille offic- es of the British isles, the wilole serv- ice works smoothly and without a hit- ch. Nearly half ll. million letters ailll il- bout 60,000 parcels are received daily for distribution at the front, while the record was reached last week, when over 7,000 bags of mail came over lil one day. In solne special cases letters are delivereil at various points ill our lilies twelve hours after leaving l.oll- don, speciul bags and lllrrics serving the various ileadquarlers.

FROM LONDON T0 THE TRENCHES

By the system at present ill force all

mails for the front are sorted at the general post office in Londoil, bags be- ilig made up for each unit ill the field. Oil arrival at the base ill l<‘rallee the bags are unloaded from the steamer and packed oil to the supply trains tllat are going up to the front with rations, alnilluiiltioli ailil nlnierial f`or troops. 'l`liere is one supply train for each rail- hezld, as the unloaililig poillt of a supply train is culled, Tile average nlinlber of trllcks filled each day ill this way is SiS. Al the rltllilead special illo- tnr-lurries have to be provided for let- ters, wlllch must not be delayed. Sup- plies cllli wait, but lnails cannot. Ai the refilling point, \vIlicli is the flll't1l- est poillt of the nioior-liirry`s journey, tho rospoilslbllity of the post office ceases. Tile malls ilre handed over io the regimental orderlics, who are res- ponsible for their delivery to the lllell in their battalions. For n refilling poillt some quiet spot off the main road is chosen, and here the field post office is establlslled ill some slled ol' small cottage. The staff sleep here and illi- provise the fittings of tlleir office olit of packilig-cases and ally other strlly material that inny come to hand. 'l‘lle iilgelluity shown ill nlilkilig pigcoll-iiol- es and desk-fittings oilt of egg boxes is silrprisilig. .lust when the post is due il long lille of horse wagons, one froiil each iliiit of the division, forms up oilf- sillo the Post ()i`i`ice.

'l`lle regimental ordcrly is ilow res-

ponsible for the safe delivery io each soldier of the letters and parcels lill- drcsscll to llilil. 'l`liis is no easy task. as each bniilllioli receives an average of \vcIl ovcr one lettcr per filly per lilan, ll` thc lllilt ill question llappeiis to he in the trellclles oil that day, the letters are taken up by the coiumllili- l-ation treuclles alid lil-inded over to the oi`t`icel's conlmaiidillg the different com pllnics. ll` the men are ill billets, then each conlpail_v attends at a certain spot and has its lilllil llallllell ii. Slidden nlnves of iillits and all siinillll' contin- gelicies ure eovorell ily a sysiclll of special lurrics. .

THE UNDELIVERABLE LETTER.

Letters und' parcels intellded for

nien who have been killed or woulldell ttlle lnfler ure often hard to trace) llre all rctiirneil to Loiiiloll. each letter or parcel being marked killed. wolllld- ed, or lliissilig, as the case may be. lil

London they are held over at the gen 'eral post office until the official casu- alty llsts have been issued. The author- ities fully realize the terrible shock a parent would feel on receiving the first ' intimation of the loss of a son by hav- lllg his own letter returned unopened with the single word "killed" written across it.

Bad addresses are the main cause of

non-delivery of letters. Regimental numbers or the particular battalion to which the address is attached are fre- quently left out, rendering delivery a matter of great and often insurmount- able difficulty. wlllle the spelliilg leav- es much to be desired. lil one bag no less than forty different ways of spell- ing the word "Expeditionary" were counted. At the beginlllllg of the war. when the printed field postcard was first issued, many people nlistook the official marks i“A. L. A. 2042-114- Gen. No. 52481") that appear on the top lefi-hand corller of each card. to be the address ofthe soldiers at the front. The result that some thoilstlnds of cards bearing this singular uddress, which was no ilollbt illltll-tiiied to be in some wonderful code lldopted by the War Office, were received at post. offic- es all‘over the country.

One Tommy who arrived at a cer-

tain base on a troopshlp was put to sleep with a number of others in a large sited oil a wharf. oil which was painted the number "10."` Oil tht! Wall of the shed was painted ill huge letters the common lllscriptioli “Defense d’Af- flcher," being the French equivalent of "Stick no bills." Accordingly when the soldier wrote home he notified ills parents that ills llddress ilt the front was “10, l)ot`ense d‘aficller, I"rance." Sinlllarly the ll‘rencll word “Ralentir” used oil road sign-posts as an indica- tiol to traffic to go slow dowil, has flglired largely ill letters home as un address.

The general excellence of the field

post office may be guagcll by the fact that the French ulitllorities recently made a request for fllll information as to the postal system ill use in the Bl'i- tish army.

DEMAND THAT BILL

BE PAID BY GERMANY

WASIIINGTON, July 29.-State de-

partment officials today were drafting a iioie to Germlilly asking payment f'or the loss of the Alnericall steamer Lee- lilnaw. inrpedoed by a Gerniuli sub- marine oil last Sunday. This is on the ground of violation of the Prussizln- Alrlericall treaty of 1828.

Ally doubts in the minds of oillcials

that the treaty had been violated were removed by illloiiiclal advices wllich said that the Gerlliall sllblnllriile com- lnlindcr was unwilling to jcttison the l.eelaliliw's cargo :lull io allow her io prlil-cell. The claim for ilainzlges is similar to tllat made in the case of the Wllliziln I’. Frye.

MONTREAL, Que., July 29.-For

the first time since the war started, a Hamburg American liner. one of the rich prizes of Britain’s naval power,is I

ilow as the Huntress, the former Ger- man freighter moored at Wlndnllll Poillt,ols easily the largest of her kind in the waters. She is of 10.000 gross tonnage and'magnlfieently ap- pointed. the last word of German ship- building. She was on her maiden voy- age when a British warsllip overhaul- ed her on the high seas.

The Huntress has been travelling n trade routes. Her crew is Lascar and for one or two voyages she ran for the P. & O. Company. Being In ballast, she looms up large against the wharf.

Down the field walks a Frellcll woman with a basket of eggs on her arnl. Having a little nloiley and thinking my l'al would Ike a few for supper, l bought one dozen. l had just pllt ihelil ill a can to boil on the cook‘s fire; all is quite and peaceful, but suddenly hundreds of gulls begin to roar and thin straggling line of figures begin I te come over tllo rise three hundred yards away to the left of us and il greenish yellow cloud seems to bo following them along. Then comes ll sneezing flt and a palllfill sensation of burning ill the throat our eyes be- gin to slnart and water. Tile figures come up to us, clawillg, choking, and gasping for breath. They are the Frellcll Zouaves. What is the nllltter every one asks. The Germans have broken illrollgll is the answer as soon as they get breath. Just thou the oiil- cers come ilp and order the boys to harness up to get really lo move oil' oil five minutes. Ollr boys no lliore than get started than bullets begin to whine over ollr heads. We colile to ollr senses with ii shock, to realize soine one is pepperlng us. We look at the rise to seo swarms of figures coming towards us shooting as they run. Some grab their rifles and run to cover and start, sliootllig al them as fast as they can pillilp led. From our right comes cileorillg, 'l`llc t‘llllll- dilill Scottish at the double makes li dash for cover. illeil you hear a mil- chine gllil greaking ill upon tllenl, The advancing Gcrlllllils begin to drop and hesitate.
