REGARDED CARGO CONTRABAND. 1 Commander of Prinz Eitel Friedrieli I Gives Reasons. Newport News, Va., March 11.? Commander Thierichens, of the Ger- i man converted cruiser Prinz Eitel * Friedrich, which late today went in- < to dry dock for repairs, has submit- ' ted two statements to Collector Ham- i ilton, of this port. One stated his i reasons for sinking in South Atlantic i waters, January 28 last, the Ameri- I can sailing ship William P. Frye, and < with her cargo of 5,200 tons of i > wheat consigned to Queenstown. The other related to the length of time that will be required to repair his ; ship. 1 Collector Hamilton announced he i regarded the communications as 1 State papers and that he would for- 1 ward them to Washington. It was 1 learned, however, that the comman- < der of the German ship frankly has < stated to American government of- 1 ficials that he sank the American 1 "v;- Ka^oiico Via rps-arded her 1 OUilT vvvmuvv cargo as contraband of war. 1 In the statement relating to the repairs necessary on the Eitel Fried- I rich, it was believed the German < commander declared the vessel could 1 be made seaworthy within a few ] < days or a week at most. Whether < he 9tated in the communication that 1 he wished to depart as soon as Ameri- 1 can naval authorities could pass on i repairs that are to oe made, was not ] disclosed. The German commander i previously made it clear, however, < w that it was not his intention to in- ] W tern his ship. 1 [ Condition of Engines. < As to the condition of the Eitel ] ? Friedrich's engines and boilers he re- ] ported that whereas she had been * making eighteen knots an hour at ; the beginning of her campaign ] chine oho i agamsi enemy meiuaui ou,Ho scarcely dared make twelve when she i reached American waters early Wednesday morning. After the German cruiser went in- ; to dry dock tonight she discharged i the crews of British. French and ( Russian ships she had sunk, having released the American crew in the < afternoon. The French crews left i ' tonight for New York. A few Rus- } sians went with them. The British i crews plan to return to England on ] British ships laden with horses from ( this port. i Commander Th'ieriehens assured i j officials here that neither he, officers < nor men of the Eitel Friedrich would set foot on American^joil, except od ( > official business. He made this state- j ment to Collector Hamilton after j stating that it was his intention not \ to intern his ship. ] In the Newport News ship yard to- i night the released sailors of British ships, after receiving their kits, marched to street cars, singing "Tipperary." i The Young Idea. The following are authentic gems from .New York school children's compositions: "Another thing which distinguishes him (Irving) a great deal from other authors is that he has a think. T er." "Julius Caesar chaperoned (not "espoused') the cause of the people." "A revolving desk chair is just in front of the desk. (Do you ever feel that way about it yourself?") "He showed us an academized road which we had never seen before." (The royal road to learning?) "Pheidippides is the hero of Browning's so-called poem." "Today all sexes go to the theatre." "Pelantry means the business of > peddling: walking around from . ' . house to house." "Pedantry means the study or care of the feet." She Was. The two oldest inhabitants were very ignorant, neither of them being > able even to tell the time of day. A friend of Uncle Ben gave him a watch of which he w-as very proud. One day, before the crowd at the corner store old Pete, being slightly jealous of such wealth and wishing to embarrass his rival said: "Say, Ben. what time have you got?" The other old fellow drew out his watch and turned its face toward his inquisitor. "There she be!" he exclaimed. P* Pete was almost at a loss, but he made a magnificent effort and retorted, "Blame if she ain't!"?Everybody's Thange in Preaching Days. .V' I Rev. J. R.

Postmaster General Burleson does not want to curtail the free delivery service. Stories have been published all over the country to the effect that he wants to do away with weak routes and make the patrons thereof ?o further for their mails. So alarming did the reports finally become that Representative Lever, of South Carolina, wrote to find out about the matter. Mr. Lever wrote as follows: "I have been thinking a great deal ibout the matter of our conversation the other day relative to your policy in regard to the rural delivery service in the country. The more 1 think about it the more fully convinced I become that if you put into effect the plan you have in mind of curtailing rural aeuverj sei viw, ,>v/u Rill not only work a serious injury to the people?but make it impossiple for the Democratic party to hope to win the next presidential election. "The postal service was never in:ended to be a profit making concern. It was established for the convenience and education of the people: and you can as little afford to . curtail that service as Secretary Houston can to curtail the construc:ive work of the department of agriculture. I am writing this as your friend, and as a friend of the administration from President Wilson 3own to the humblest member of it. [ earnestly beg you, and 1 know I am voicing the sentiment of every Dem- , ccratic member in congress, not to put into operation any plan by which rural delivery service will be hurt. Fhe country people are entitled to is good postal service as the city nonnio anH we must do nothing that Rill show any discrimination against Lhem." Air. Burleson's reply is as follows: "This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter of February 6, in relation to the rural service, which I have carefully read. "I fully concur with you in the view that the postal service should not. and must not, be conducted as a 'profit making concern.' and that the rural delivery of mail was established 'for the convenience and education of the people.' So fixed am I in this conviction that it shall be my policy to increase and extend, instead of curtail, this very important postal facility so that, not less, but more, of the American people shall be furnished the advantages which it affords. Co-ordinate, however, with i this policy good administration demands that satisfactory postal facilities be given to the people at the . least possible expenditure of public funds. i "It is sincerely regretted that in times past this desirable service was J not always established or maintained ; in'well populated communities where it could be utilized for the convenience and education of the people, and that the expenditure of thousands of dollars for unusual or unnecessary mail facilities has interI fered with the proper application of available resources for the extension of this service. Therefore, many of our people cannot be provided with these means of convenience and education that are more than liberally supplied to others. "Then, again, there are other inequalities. For example: In communities where road conditions and population are similar, the mail facilities afforded should be equal. There are certain sections of the country where one community will have a route affording tri-weekly services and another where the conditions are identically the same, a route providing daily service. Now, either the community with the triweekly service is entitled to daily service or thecommunity withthedaily service is entitled to only the triweekly service. In other words, the service should be established with regard to the actual needs of the patrons of the particular route and should be equitably distributed between communities where the conditions and requirements are identically the same. The logic and justice of this is apparent both in the interest of good administration and fairness to the patrons of the postal service. That some communities should have more service than is es' - 11 1 ? of n 11 sennai ana oiners less ui uuuc ?*?,i is manifestly wrong. Effort is bejng made to eliminate these inequalities and it is believed that when this shall have been done, there will be no further cause for complaint from any source on the score of unequal or inadequate service. "I'nder this conception of my duty as an administrative official. I am en-j deavoring to ascertain whether a rural service equally satisfactory and serving a larger number of our people can be provided at a less cost. But you may rest assured that no action will be taken which will injure or needlessly curtail the service. On the contrary, it is mv endeavor to discover a satisfactory means of providing this service for a larger number of our people, and| X<> ("HAXCiK IX I'KXSIOX LAW. general Assembly's Action Was t< Add $.">0,000 to Fund.
