The fight against the town mail de livery service was conducted by Bryan, of Florida, and Hoke Smith, of Goorgia. Senator Bryan moved to strike the appropriation from the bill, asserting that the administration did not ask for the service, and did not approve of the extension of the mail delivery facilities. Senator Smith quoted Fourth As sistant Blakeslee as unfavorable to the continuance of the appropriation un der which village mail delivery service has been established in the following Pennsylvania towns: Fret-land, Kplirata, White Haven, Palmerton, Peekville, Spring City, Tunkhannock and Wrightsvillc. Had the motion to strike out the item prevailed, the mail carrier service would have been discontinued June SO in nearly 150 towns throughout the United States. Rurtil Men Victorious So far as the post office apropria tions bill is concerned the rural car riers, .numbering in all 43.000 men. scored t>tg victory when the Senate agreed to a graduated increase in their salarit-n nrtvr Air, Burleson and his fourth assistant, James I. Blakslee, of Pennsylvania, sought to wipe out many rural routes and return to the old star route system of letting contracts for carrying the mails to the lowest bid der. Senator Boies Penrose, of Pennsyl vania. led the fight for the carriers who hereafter will receive the follow ing compensation for their services: Carriers with routes of 24 miles and over and who deliver mail six days a week $1,200 per annum and payable monthly. Routes 22 miles in length and less than 21 miles, $1,152. Routes 20 miles in length SI,OBO. Routes of 18 miles, $960. Routes of 16 miles, SB4O. Routes of 14 miles. $720. Routes of 12 miles, $672.

Routes of 8 miles, $576. Routes of 6 miles, $528. Routes of 4 miles. $4 80. Rural carriers serving: tri-weekly routes will be paid on the basis for a route one-half the length of the route served by him, while carriers serving: two tri-weekly routes will receive pay on the basts for a route one-half of the combined length of the two routes. The Postmaster General is given au thority to pay a salary not to exceed SI,BOO per year to carriers who fur nish and maintain their own motor vehicles and who serve routes not less than 50 miles in length. Under the provisions of the bill about 2,250 rural carriers in Pennsylvania, 2.540 in Ohio and 400 in West Virginia will receive increases in pay. Retain Assistant Postmasters The attempt of Postmaster Gen eral Burleson to legislate out of office assistant postmasters in cities such as Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and in fact assistants in every Presidential office failed when the Senate agreed to an amendment of Senator George T. Oli ver, of Pennsylvania, restoring these officials after the House had followed the wishes of Mr. Burleson and elimi nated them. These assistants, most of whom are Republicans, and are under the protection of the civil service, can not be reached by the Democratic ad ministration unless provisions were mndo in the post office appropriation bill for their removal. The adoption of the Oliver amendment means that nlmost. 2.700 men who are trained in the postal service by reason of long ex perience will be retained in the em ploy of the government unless the House conferees refuse to accept the action of the Senate, which is not con sidered probable. A total of $3,000,- 000 is paid these officials annually. A determined fight to discontinue the experimental village delivery serv ice in towns and villages having sec ond and third class offices failed by a vote of 36 to 29. For the next fiscal year an appropriation of $150,000 will be allowed to further test the system. Senator Penrose, in supporting the project, told the Senate that the new system, inaugurated two years ago through the efforts of Representative W. W. Griest. of Pennsylvania, was a success in the Keystone State and that many towns not having the free delivery service liave benefited and the receipts of the post office affected larged increased. The proposal of the postal officials to promote railway mail clerks only every two years instead of annually, as is now done, was overwhelmingly defeated. SAILOR LOSES LIFE WHEN SHIP IS SUNK [Continued from First Page.] he was on duty in the stoke hold at the time the explosive torpedo or mine rent the Deptford in twain. He says he saw a flash of blue flame shoot up from the bottom of the ship and through her deck. The fcfrce of the explosion threw him down violently and stunned him. He managed to reach the deck, howfever, as the ves sel was heeling und just as the lifeboat was being launched. It was the car penter of the Deptford who lost his life. After hours in an open and leaking boat in a snowstorm which caused them to suffer acutely, the men say, they signalled a steamer but no notice was taken of their appeal. Bater, how ever, they encountered the steamer Fulgenw which picked them up and brought them into South Shields. Some members of the crew say they saw the wake of a submarine after the Deptford was struck. COASTING STEAMER SI N K IX CHANNEL OFF BEACHV HEAD Bondon, Feb. 25, 1.80 P.

J. Nelly, chairman of the committee, in opposition to Bur gess Wlgfield's efficiency police plan is the belief among borough firemen to-day. Each member of the borough fire patrol this morning received a letter from Borough Secretary Charles P. Keldt asking them to be present at the meeting, when the committee will consider the burgess's pian for mak ing members of me nrc patrol special oorougn policemen. Some of the lire patrolmen this morning expressed surprise tnat tney should oe invited in view of the speecti made by Mr. Nelly at the last meet ing of council, in that speecn he de clared he was opposed to making lire patrolmen members of the police force on account of the responsibility wnlch would fall upon the borougn. Cites instance In hi sspeech Nelly todl how Rob ert F. Scott, a Harrisburg patrolman, had been sentenced to the peniten tiary for manslaughter anci intimated that It would be bad policy for the borough to place men on uie police force wno, he said, might misuse their authority and weapons. Members of the borough lire pa trol were aroused. They held a meet ing in the Baldwin hosehouse last Sunday and unanimously endorsed Burgess Wigtleld's plan and intimated that they were not at all pleased with Chairman Nelly's speech. In view of all this, the .invitation to attend to-morrow's meeting of the committee is looked upon by the lire men with suspicion and it was said this morning that it was merely an efiort to prevent the facts in the case coming out on the floor of council and incidentally before the people.

PROPOSALS ARE BEFORE AUTHORITIES [Continued from First Page.] try and in Germany in this delicate diplomatic situation. The British press in general is re strained in tone but the average Eng lishman plainly resents what lie con siders a hint at an attempt to inter fere with the absolute blockade of Germany should Great Britain care to enforce this with her sea power. In the mean while and in spite of the sinking of four more British merchant men involving the* loss of four lives. Great Britain still holds off from de elating food destined to Germany to be contraband. It is believed if this step will be taken It will be postponed un til the American proposal has been discussed at length. Just what this proposal is the public both here and in Berlin is unaware. Its only infor mation has been 'gleaned from the meager and qualified dispatches from Washington. There would seem to he no doubt, however, that Great Britain will heserve the right to declare food contraband at any time she deems it necessary especially as Germany's so called blockade lias been enforced with all the power Germany has at her command for a week past. How Ihe British cabinet feels about the matter would appear to have been plainly indicated by the statements made by Foreign Secretary Grey, Pre mier Asciuith,nnd First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill, all of whom have more than hinted that drastic retalia tory measures might he expected at any moment.

The only place in the Hoffman House where liquor Is sold is at the bar. 1 think it only fair that the publlo should know these facts and that it should not be believed that the Hoff man House maintains a sideroom for the denizens of the underworld and for the women of the street. Thank ing you in advance for the publication of this letter. I am, Yours very truly, EDWARD G. HOFFMAN. Feb. 25. 1915, SUSQUEHANNA RIVER GETS BRUNT OF STORM « [Continued from First. Page.] Eastern Michigan yesterday morning caused a precipitation over Pennsyl vania probably amounting to an aver age of about one a'nd one-half inches; however, no streams of the State, ex cepting those In the Susquehanna drainage basin, were materially af fected by this rainfall. "In the Susquehanna basin, aniaxi mum stage of eighteen and one-half feet is indicated for the west branch at Williamsport; on the north branch, a.- stage or about seventeen and one» , half feet for Towanda, twenty-five feet for Wilkes-Barre and twenty feet foir Danville; fourteen feet for Newport on the Juniata, and probably about seventeen feet for Harrisburg on Fri day afternoon. Cured His RUPTURE I was badly ruptured while lifting % trunk several years ago. Doctoi'3 said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good.

To Put On Flesh And Increase Weight A Phjulclnn'a Advice Most thin people eat from four to six pounds of good solid fat-making food every day and still do not Increase In weight tone ounce, while ojh the other hand many of the plump, chunky folks eat very lightly and keep gaining all the time. It's all bosh to say that this is the nature of the individual. It Isn't Nature's way at all. Thin folks stay thin because their powers of assimilation are defective. They absorb just enough of the food they eat to maintain life and a sem blance of health and strength. Stuffing won't help them. A dozen meals a day won't make them gain a single "stay there" pound. All the fat-pr.oducing elements of their food just stay in the Intestines until they pass from the bodv as waste. What such people need is something that will prepare these fatty food elements so that their blood can absorb them and deposit them ail about the body—something, too, that w.ill multiply their red hl.ood corpuscles and increase their blood's carrying power. For such a condition I always recom mend eating a Sargol tabfct with every meal. Sargol is not, as some believe, a patented drug, but is a scientific com bination of six of the most effective and powerful flesh building element* known to chemistry. It is absolutely harmless, yet w.onderfuliy effective and a single tablet eaten with each meal often has the effect 6t Increasing the weight of a thin man or woman from three to five pounds a week. Sargol is sold by Geo. A. Gorgas ar.d other good druggists everywhere on a positive guarantee of weight Increase or motKjr back. —Advertisement 9
