STUPENDOUS DRIVE NOW ON Rules Now Existing, Relating to Boxing and Packing of Shipments to Be Rigidly Enforoed. Charlotte, N. C.?Plans of a most comprehensive nature to bring about conditions which will make possible a marked improvement in the express service throughout the country, have been announced by Mr. W. S. Hall. Charlotte representative of the American Railway Express Company. A ocuci service campaign" will be undertaken by the 135,000 men and women employed in the express business, for the purpose of raisng the tandurds of packing, wrapping and marking shipments. The drive started on February 10, in every city and town in the counof education and appeal among express employes simultaneously with a widespread effort to secure the cooperation of the shipping public along the same Hues. No new packing or marking rules have been adopted for the campaign, but express drivers and receiving clerks will be instructed hereafter to insist, firmly but courteously, thut the rules already in force be strictly adhered to. The chief purpose of the "Better Service Campaign" is to check, once for all, the waste of time, effort and money that result from loBt or damaged shipments. It is a source of dissatisfaction and annoyance to both shippers and the carrier and tends to impair the express service. It is expected that all who ship by express, and 300,000,000 shipments are annually traveling that way, will be keenly ^ .inlerettt^ia. the forthcoming drive, because It so intimately concerns the transportation end of many different trades and industries, some of which depend almost exclusively upon the express service. Regarding the conditions which led to a decision for a national drive of this character, an express official made this statement: "It is an acknowledged fact that the average American businss man regards a satisfied custome. as a direct asset tn bis business. He would do nothing that might jeopardise his good relations with that customer. Rut it the goods he sends to the customer arrive in bad order, if the contents are damaged or pilfered because they were exposed during the journey, or if, may he, entire shipments are lost because of inadequate marking or insecure packing, the customer may not wait long for explanations, but place his business elsewhere." "Start Express Shipments Right" is a slogan which will be carried throughout the campaign and which If adhered to will mean a great saving to business and their customers. 18 DIVI6ION8 OF GERMANS ARE ON THE WESTERN FRONT London.?British newspapers of all shades of opinion are devoting serious attention to the attitude adopted by the German government toward the armistice conditions.

"She has now concentrated mors than 18 divisions und?r Von Hlndenburg on the western front," the correspondent quotes his informant an saying. "We also have the best reasons to believe that Germany is keeping her troops under arms on the pretext of economic necessity. Some of the military authorities think that Germany has sought more material to give necessary armament to 3.000,000 men. German demobilization is a condition to our demobilization.
