NO CHANGE IN
MAIL SERVICE
---
While the postoffice department has |
declined to make any additions to the
present mail service for this season, |
it has announced that there will be
no changes in the service, according
to a statement made by J. A. McIn
tosh. president of the Fairbanks Com
mercial Club, which organization re-!
cently took up the matter of a more j
extended service with the department,
to which a reply has been received as J
follows:
“With reference to your letter of the
21st ultimo, requesting additional
service for the supply of Fairbanks
during the winter months, and other
matters, you are informed that a care
ful investigation was made during the
summer of conditions affecting the
service in Alaska. The report on
such investigation shows that a large
number of former residents of the
Interior of Alaska have left the ter
ritory. Notwithstanding such de
crease in the number of patrons, prac
tically the same amount of service
has been continued, which increases
the amount of mail carried per patron.
You understand, of course, that the
winter service for the Interior of
Alaska is very expensive, and that it
is necessary, under present conditions,
to limit the service. In view of the
decrease in the number of patrons j
it is considered that the present serv- j
ice provides a very reasonable mail
supply, and that the department would j
not be warranted in incurring the ex
pense that would be involved for ad
ditional service under present condi
tions. pending the completion or the
near completion of the government
railroad, by which all mails could be
reasonably carried at all seasons.
“Very respectfully,
“(Signed) E. R. WHITE,
“Acting Second Assistant Postmaster
General.”

RICHARDSON
SAYS LENINE
RULE ENDING
That Lenine was nearing his end
and that the Russians of the North
liked and trusted Americans was the
story that General W. P. Richardson,
who went to war from Alaska, told
the peace conference in Paris. Gen.
Richardson arrived in New York re
cently. Before leaving Paris he gave
an interview to Kenneth Latour, staff
correspondent of the Universal Serv
ice, a news-gathering association,
which appeared in the San Francisco
Examiner of Sunday, October 5, as fol
lows :
“Paris, Oct. 4.—Brigadier General
W. P. Richardson, formerly American
commander of the Archangel front,
who has returned from North Russia
and is stopping in Paris to report to
the peace conference, told the Univer
sal Service tonight he thought the Le
nine-Trotsky regime in Russia was on
the brink of downfall.
“Since this means the elimination
of the possibility of a German-Bolshe
vik alliance, he said, there ‘is now no
further reason for continuing combat
ting intervention by American troops,
who fought on the border to protect
the military stores from the Bolshe
viki, known to be in alliance with Ger
many, who is still officially an enemy.’
He continued:
“ ‘The North Russians trusted us as
their friends. It was remarkable how
popular the Americans were with the
Russian girls. Five out of fifteen of
my headquarters detachment are now
married to Russian girls. They asked
my consent until I saw their sweet
hearts. The girls were then present
ed to me. They were fine women,
fair-haired and pink-cheeked, and
came from good families.
“ ‘One girl was much worried about
losing her man. She said to me con
fidentially: “It will take a few days
to arrange the church ceremony. I
hope my fiance won’t be ordered off
in the meantime.”
“ ‘I assured here that her man was
safe and would be delivered in good
shape at the altar, whereupon she
thanked me and went away, the hap
piest girl in the world.
“ ‘The women of Archangel are in
.
—
dependent and not troubled with false I
modesty. When they want to marry
a man they are not afraid to ask him.
Every year is leap year in Arch
angel.' ”
