won't ride, you must wulk.
'''- Thnt is the ultimatum offerfid to tho
officers of the coast artillery who
thought that they would bo immune
from the tests of physical endurance
whij)li the president demands from field
and staff officers. Last fall when the
riding tests were ordered the const ar
Willory officers were not included, large
ly for the reason that there Was Appa
rently no reason why n coast artillery
officer should in the exercise of his
duty either walk or rido any consider
able distance.
Now comes the order that tho coast
nrtillery officers may tnko a riding test
if they prefer, but if they prefer to
walk they will have to cover 50 miles
In three consecutive days.
Tho other tests providod under the
orders issued today are that nil field
ofllcors below tho grade of brigadier
generals shall take a marching test of
30 miles n day. The tests are to take
place in the fall during tho cavalry
in a no u vers.
The president, commenting upon the
reason for the tests says in the order:
"It is just as much the duyt of nil
officers of the army to adopt such meas
ures and pursue such habits os will
maintnin n physical condition fit for
active service as to cultivate their
minds in fitting themselves for the In
tellectual duties ot their profession'

WASHINGTON, May !. Informa
tion having reached the postot'fieo de
partment of certain methods by whirh
the postal laws in regard to the mailable
and unmailable merchandise on rural
routes havo been evaded. Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster-General Do Grnw has
taken steps to prevent further evasions.
Rural carriers are permitted to deliver
as express matter, fur hire, for patrons
of their routes, unmailable merchandise
and packages of mailable merchandise
eighing in excess of four pounds. An
example of tho abuse of this privilege
that of a men-hunt who sent by rural
carrier as mail matter n pair of shoes,
to which he added n bag of salt to
make the package overweight, and to
avoid paying postage, so the carrier
might carry the package for him. Jn
view of such abuses, Mr. He Grow has
issued the following statement:
"All packages of merchandise to be
sent out by rural carriers by 'merchants
of the town should be presented at the
postoffice for inspepetion and in ensr
it is found that extraneous mailer not
ordered by the patrons has been added
to any mailable matter or package for
the purpose of making sur-h package of
matter unmailable, post umbers shouht
rcfuso to permit the carrier to earn
any such matter or package for hire
outnide of the mails, and rural carriers
shall not eceive nny mail matter from
pntrom as unmailable matter for hire
which they nusect has been made nn
mailable by such devices at adopted by
the merchant."
