"Furthermore, a short time ago the commission unanimously recommended that the president appoint as chief ex aminer an employe of the commission who Is far better qualified for this po sition than any other person of whom the commission has knowledge. But the postmaster-general desires that the position be filled by another person of his own selection." RELIEF HAILED WITH JOY Arrival of American Red Cross Workers Triumphal Occasion. MTTTXENE.
