A repri mand for the officers Involved in the Carabao dinner incident was ap proved to-day by President Wilson. He took this action on recommen dation of Secretary of War Garrison and Secretary of the Navy Daniels. His letter to the two Secretaries fol lows: | Mv Dear Sirs—Allow me to thank you for your report on the action of certain officers of the army and navy at the recent din ner of the military order of the t ’a rabao. The officers' who were respon sible for the program of the evening are certainly deserving of a very serious reprimand, w hich I hereby request be admin istered; and I can not rid myself of a feeling of great disappoint ment that the general body of officers assembled at the dinner should have greeted the tarrying out of such a program with apparent indifference to the fact that it violated some of the most dignified and sacred traditions of the service. 1 am told that the songs and other amusements of the evening were intended and regarded as “fun." What fire we to think of officers of the army and navy of the United States who think it “fun" to bring their official su periors Into ridicule and the poli cies of the Government, which they are sworn to serve, with un questioning loyalty, into con tempt? If this is their idea of fun, what is their idea of duty? If they do not hold their loyalty above all silly effervescences of childish wit, what about their profession do they hold sacred? My purpose, therefore, in ad ministering this reprimand is to recall the men who are respon sible for this lowering of stand ards to their ideal; to remind them of the high conscience with which they ought to put duty above personal indulgence and conduct themselves as responsible men and trusted soldiers, even while they are amusing them selves as diners out.

Send Out 50,000 Parcels To day—Mail Pouring In. Of course it is too early in the par cel post regime to talk about break ing records. There aren’t any par ticular records, yet.

Bolling Jon£s, postmaster, started his days work soon after 5 o’clock Monday morning. "I have to get on the job early,’’ he -said. "We’re just managing to keep up with the game, with a cou ple of i und red extra employees, and I must say the public is doing its; share nobly.

Then Mr. Jones wanted to know if it didn’t look like a jolly, happy bunch that packed the big lobby. It did. There was a terrific jam. nobody seemed to mind it a bit. Rows of weighers and sealers and stampers and tiers and information men and general helpers looked after the crowd, and the crowd formed readily and pleasantly into lines, and each took his turn, nd refrained from shoving, with a delightful evidence of the real old Chri tmas spirit. There were eight stamp windows in full blast. A like number of weigh ing machines, operated by clerks with the rate books spread out before them, supplied the needful informa tion to men and women and children with great armfuls of bundles and packages, piled up like stove wood, and blazing with Red Cross seals and gay Christmas stickers. Mail Pouring Into Atlanta. At another line of tables the parcel post insurance tags were attached to valuable parcels—-and a lot of them seemed to be valuable, too. Five and 10 cents was the tax. and it covered the delivery of a parcel very much like the registry feature of an im portant or valuable letter. "Forty to fifty thousand parcels going out to-day,” Mr. Jones said, "and nearly that many coming in. That gives a hint of the volume of business passing through this office. "As to the incoming Christmas mail—well, we got five solid cars In last night; cars crammed to the roof with packages and not a clerk in side; no room for any. The cars were sealed and rushed straight straight through to Atlanta to be ‘worked’ here.” But it was all merry Christmas work, In spite of the hurry and the rush, and everybody seemed to be in the best possible humor, including Mr. Jones, not even considering that he had got up at 5 o’clock in the morning.

AUGUSTA, GA., Dec. 22.—Two passenger engines and four freight « ;*rs are in the Savannah River and thret men are badly bruised and in jured otherwise because of an acci dent on the Southern Railway trestle here at 5 o’clock Monday morning when two engines ran into twenty freight cars. There was no light on the freight cars, according to C. C. Forbes, hos tler for the Southern Railway, who Was bringing two passenger engines from the Hamburg yards to the Union Depot to be started out on morning trains to Columbia and Charleston. The iwo heavy engines struck the freight oars on the first span to the north of the new lift draw, which the Southern installed several months ago, and the entire draw’ was shaken loose and both of the engines and four of the freight cars w’hich w’ere on that draw; w’ent down with a crash to the bottom of the river. Forbes and Jimmie Bryant, a call- boy, were on one of the engines and Bert Corbett, a negro helper, was on the other. When the engines struck the freight cars, the entire trestle seemed to reel and then there was a slight apparent hesitation, then freight cars and engines went down in a heap to the water. Forbes and Bryant had the pres ence of mind to hold their breaths while under the water and managed to climb out on top of the cab and onto some wreckage. Corbett's en gine was not completely submerged because it fell on a jetty. All three were badly bruised. Their escape from death was miraculous. Al! Southern trains will have to run to Hamburg instead of coming into the Union Station until the tres tle is repaired.
