Extraordinary steps have been taken by the German government to call a bait to the thieves within the postal system. It was claimed that ont of ten parcels sent three would disappear. Packages to soldiers at the front containing food, delicacies and clothing would disappear more frequently than any other shipments. All appeals to the patriotic spirit of the thieves were of no avail. The per centage of thefts Increased steadily. Finally the government was compelled to take drastic ahd systematic measures. The military branch was called la and stations of control manned by non-commissioned officers and soldiers wore planted at principal railroad points in the empire. The employment of mere youths Is blamed for the deterioration of the postal service. Practically all the employees of military age had to join the army and their places were tilled by boys and girls. Besides, the scarcity of food tempts many to steal. o-? ; The man who pals Mi moutf MM W 8. S. la narsr twoka" I Watch yonr oat-go today and 'future income will take care of KahK.
