HIGH EXCHANGE NETS U. S. BIG POSTOFFICE PROFITS 4 By United Prau SUff Corrcolxmdrncc! WASHINGTON, I). C. Feb. 26. An overcharge of approximately 30 per cent now is being levied against persons who buyU. S. Postal money orders to send money to England. Franco und Italy. Tho overcharge will nmount to ap proximately $5,000,000 for the pre sent fiscal year, it was Indicated to dny by Post-office Department rec ords. This is borne directly by per sons who use tho Post-office Depart ment t transmit cash ubroad. Since 1912 tho Post-ofllce Depart nont tins averaged a profit of ap proximately $1,000,000 on its foreign postal nibnoy transactions, reports show, all of It having come directly from the pockots of purchasers of money orders, many of them persons of small means. Business men use express concerns, banks' and other prlvnto concerns for transmitting mono). , The Post-Ofllfce Department now makes a profit of approximately $1.57 on each person who sends tho equivalent of ono British pound ster ling to England. For a ono-pouml chock tho department charges $4.87 phiB 6 cents for tho chock. The pound now actually la worth only about $3.30 according to prices paid In tho New York financial markets. Tho actual" price In Now York vnrles from day to day. Recently the prices have ranged from $3.19, tho lowest record In history, to $3.60. Tlio present rate of $4.87 chnrgi.1 by the Post-OfTlce Dopnrtmont was fixed In 1880. No change has been mndo In it since, although tho Brit ish pound has been worth less than that sfnee soon after August.' 1314. when England entercd the. war. .. OUR NEW SECRETARY ?

Tolsey's antl bolshevik army has been defeated by soviet troops In tho region of Curler, a Moscow wireless claimed today. Thousands of white, troops died "in their retreat over tho waterless step pes before reaching the Caspian sea, the dispatch said, adding that the white armies In that district seemed obliterated. The post-office rates for money orders to France and Italy also pro portionately far above the actual market value of the. franc and lira. ' Postmaster General Burleson has made no attempt to open negotia tions to alter the rate on England, so fur as can be learned. The rate is fixed by a treaty, called a postal con vention, entered into between the British and I'united States postal do pariments. Under U. S. law, tho postmaster-general mny propose to open negotiations to change the rate nt any time on his own responsibil ity. There is every reason why Eng- i land. Franco and Italy should wish ! to niter tho rate, officials said here J to-day, although it no doubt would . be u blow to British pride to take l such formal notice of tho deprecta- tion of the valuo of the pound ster I ling.

American express companies have been selling checks for a pound sterling for about $3.50. They make no charge whatever for tte sorvice qJ writing the check.
