The postals with out a postoffice and the soldiers have to row or sail across the bay to South- port to get their mail. This involves much time and. inconvenience, espec ially when the weather Is bad. It would seem that the steamer which carries the mail fom Wilmington to Southport might pioceed from the wharf at that place across to the wharf at the government reservation and land the mail for the soldiers at their door. About 25 or 30 bags of mail daily go to Southport for the sol diers and it looks like an across-bay service should be arranged. 4 IN THE NEWS Robert S. Lovett, who has been named chief of the division of better ments and additions of the railroad Administration, haj long been a prom inent figure in the American railroad world. "Judge Lovett," as he is pop ularly known, is a Texan born and Texan bred lawyer, whose profession al practice early became identified with Texas railroads. He was one of the- "finds" of the late E. H. Harrl man, who made him general counsel of his great system of railroads. Fol lowing the death of Mr. Harriman he became the executive head of the Union Pacific and the Southern Pa cific systems. It has been said that Harriman was first attracted to Lov ett by the hinnescs of his face. "A man who worries about his business all the time Is thin in the face," Mr Harriman is reported to have said. "I want just such a man." Since the commencement of the war Mr. Lovett has given much of his time to the service of the Red Cross.
