TURKS WANT U. S. IN OIL FIELDS NEW YORK, Jan. 12. "There is no truth in the statement that Great Britain has a legitimate claim to the power has a legitimate claim to the oil fields of Mosul," was the statement made by Mahmond Pasha, Turkish ex-minister of public works, and the most competent man on the legal questions connected with the Mosul oil question. Mahmond Pasha was a member of the Turkish cabinet until the outbreak of the World War, when he resigned because he objected to fighting the allies. He acted for the Turkish government during the negotiations with the British about the oil of Mosul and therefore nobody is more competent to give an authoritative statement about that subject. Incorrectly Addressed Letters Cost Huge Sum A dead waste of $1,740,000 annually, due to the readdressing by post-office clerks of approximately 200,000,000 incorrectly addressed letters and other mail matter, is the latest estimate made this week by the Post-office Department. In a survey just completed of the situation it was discovered that the average number of these letters received at post offices daily reached 375,381 and that the salaries of postal employees required to do the work of readdressing this mail mounted up to a sum of over $1,000,-000 a year. Further investigation by the Post-office Department shows that only a small part of this huge volume of incorrectly addressed mail comes from individual citizens that through oversight write the wrong address on personal letters. The overwhelming majority of it is sent out in the form of circular letters and advertising matter by large users of mail and private business concerns who use Further investigation by the Post-office Department shows that only a small part of this huge volume of incorrectly addressed mail comes from individual citizens that through oversight write the wrong address on personal letters. The overwhelming majority of it is sent out in the form of circular letters and advertising matter by large users of mail and private business concerns who use obsolete mailing lists. “This is one of the most expensive and pressing problems which the postal service faces at the present time,” declared Postmaster General Work, in discussing the latest figures. “This immense quantity of advertising mail received daily, impop-early addressed, is a great drain on the postal establishment, and in order to diminish it I have recommended to Congress that a law be passed authorizing the Postoffice Department to make an extra charge of one cent for the delivery of every piece of mail incorrectly addressed. There is, however, nothing new in recommendation. It has been made by Postmasters General for a number of years as the only solution to the question of wiping out this annual loss of $1,740,000. At first thought it may appear that such legislation would penalize the innocent person receiving this mail, but a more comprehensive study of the subject will show that the effect of the law would be to automatically stop large users of mail and big business concern from using incorrect and obsolete mailing lists in sending out their circular and advertising matter in great quantities, for as soon as citizens throughout the country found themselves paying one cent every time one of these circulars was delivered to them by a letter carrier they would at once refuse such maid. The result would be that these businesses would find thousands of these incorrectly addressed circulars and advertising matter back on their own hands. As is obvious, the development of such a situation would be disastrous to these concerns and they would lose no time in seeing that their mailing lists were kept up-to-date and that advertising matter they sent out was correctly addressed.” GARDEN GROVE GARDEN GROVE, Jan. 12.

Justice May held that the love of the Sherwoods for the children, as shown by them in court, in contrast with the cold and somewhat unsympathetic attitude of the grandmother, entitled them to keep the children as their own. OLD WELL FOUND IN FRENCH CHURCH PARIS, Jan. 12.—Historians and archeologists are showing the utmost interest in recent discoveries made under the cathedral in Lisseur, Normandy. During repairs beneath the floor of the cathedral a mason's pick struck a large slab, which when removed disclosed a well many feet deep. Five years ago mention of a sealed well was found in the cathedral archives, but no one was able to find the exact emplacement. A manuscript said the well sealed in 1887. The slab, originally placed over the tomb of a canon of Listeux, bears traces of an inscription in Gothic. Dragging the well the discoverers found a jewellers weight, bearing the effigies of Ferdinand V., king of Aragon, and Isabella, his wife.
