GRAND FLEET
FELICITATES
YANK SHIPS
LONDON, March 15 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—Offi
cers and men of the Grand Fleet miss
their comrades of the American bat
tleship 3quadron which shared the
war vigil of the British navy. The
text just made public of the messages
exchanged by the two forces when
the American ships departed Decem
ber 1 shows how strong was the
friendship between them.
As the American dreadnaughts
steamed away, the British commander
in chief signalled:
“Your comrades of the Grand Fleet
regret your departure. We trust this
is only temporary, and that the inter
change of squadrons from the two
great fleets of the Anglo-Saxon race
may be repeated. We wish you good
by, good luck, and that you will have
a good time and come back soon.”
In reply came the following:
“Your friendly and brotherly signal
of God-speed is deeply appreciated by
the officers and men of your Sixth
battle squadron. We will never for
get the hospitality, which has made
ns feel a part of your big family, and
we intend to maintain that relation
for all time. We all hope to serve
under your command.”
The use of the word "your” was
lost upon no one in the Grand Fleet,
least of all Admiral Beatty. Another
message was immediately sent:
"This is indicative of the intimate
brotherly unity and sympathy which
exists on both sides of that greatest
ocean highway, the Atlantic, and, as
It is not joined by land, is kept warm
and alive largely by men of the sea.”
To which the American squadron
made answer:
“The officers and men of the Sixth
battleship squadron appreciate more
than can be explained the never-end
ing hospitality of the officers and
men of the Grand Fleet. We leave
with close recollection cf our happy
stay in these waters, and with hope
that we may soon renew the firm
friendship that has grown up amongst
us.”

SERVED UNCLE
SAM FOR OVER
HALF CENTURY
..
SALT LAKE, March 31—L. A. Bill
ings, known to Salt Lake postoffice
employes as “Uncle Josh,” is consid
ered to be the oldest employes of the
postal service in the United States.
He has served Uncle Sam for a period
of fifty-two years and three months
on March 2, 1919. He has served
under ten different postmasters in
Salt Lake and during his fifty-two
years of service has lost only two
weeks.
Billings first entered the mail ser
vice as a carrier of a paper route, the
Daily Union Vedette, a publication is
sued at Fort DoUgla3, near here. He
carried a rifle while delivering the
paper, he explained, because the pub
lisher of the papr and some of its sub
scribers frequently disagreed. In the
early days the arrival of mail was an
event, particularly during the winter,
and when it did arrive it was wet and
frozen. The pouch had to be placed
against the stove to be thawed out,
and as the ice melted a letter would
be released for some citizen of the
community.
Much mail was lost after it left Salt
Lake, Billings says, due to Indian
raids. Billings has a remarkable mem
ory despite his 84 years, and he is
! called daily to fix definitely the date
of some event of long ago which
others have forgotten.

BUFFALO HOLD SWAY
NEAR SALT LAKE CITY
SALT LAKE, March 31.—A herd of
between 300 and 400 buffalo, all of
them said to be as wild as when they
roved the Western plains, are rulers
of Antelope Island, i'l Great Salt Lake.
Antelope island contains approxi
mately 26,000 acres and is the estate
of the late John Dooly, Western
pioneer.
Only the old bulls are allowed to be
killed, and less than ten of these an
nually, say the estate officials. The
estate officials say they are willing
that the government take over the
buffalo and place them in some na
tional park. They say that the buf
falo eat much feed that could be more
profitably devoted to the use of cattle.
Although located in the middle of the
Great Salt Lake, fresh water springs
supply water the year round.
