ed to count their steps for one week,
and also the number of pieces of
mail delivered on each round.' The
result developed some very interest

was learned that the average dis
tance covered each day by a carrier
was 14 V4 miles.
A. count showed' that an average
ot 669 piece of mail are deliver

cording to this count Mr. Markham

champion walkers, have delivered
2,422,000 pieces of mail, and have
walked 105,600 ' miles.

San Jose, Costa Rica, March 18.
Secretary of State Knox's tour to the
Central American Republics in the
interests of international unity is
pleasing him immensely.
Panama received him with unan
imity. Before the Secretary arrived
in Panama word had gone out from
the Aropemena camp that the United
States government favored the re
election of their leader and on the
morning that Mr. Knox arrived . at
the capital an interview with Arose
mena appeared in the local press in
which he said in substance that the
visit of the. American. Secretary of
Slate indicated that the United
Sates desired that Panamans should
elect a president who -was the real
choice of the people and that he was
satisfied that the real choice of the
people was himself.
Thus 'the Secretary of State was
confronted with a very general ieel-
ing that in some way ihe United
States reserved a right to 'Influence
Panama's political affairs.--Conver
sation with men in and out ol the
overnment. natives and foreigners.
showed plainly that this feeling was
the one weak strand in the tie bind
ing the United States and Panama.
The first addres of the Secretary
went far to dispel this. He nmde it
plain that his mission concerned m-
rnational relations and not 'the in
ternal affairs of the republics visited.
Apparently the effect was excellent
and government oltlcials and politi
cians on the outside who had not
spoken together for weeks bantered
each other good .naturedly at the
functions where they were thrown
together and as committeemen work
ed harmoniously to make the visit of
the Secretary and his party person
ally enjoyable and profitable from a
diplomatic standpoint."
In Costa Rica there'. has been a
very general belief that the United
States is determined to bring. ahoul
union of Central American repub
lic1 This is not admitted officially.
but one cannot talk with the average
citizen for five minutes without re
ceiving this impression.
In a private interview for the
press, President'. J lmenez, w mie
minimizing the effect of this senti
ment on the relations of Costa Hica
and' the United States, nevertheless
made plain his own views on the
subject of a United Central America.
:WhyV said lie. "should we unite
with other republics, some of whom
have internal quarrels? We with an
army of only r.i'U men continue ai
peace and devote our energies to de
veloping our country. Our govern
ment is stable. We have no revolu
tions. We are working out our own
alvation in our own way. Why
should we unite and against whom:
Europe? I tide Sam protects us
from her. Against the United States?
iat is absurd. In such an alliance
we--would have, nothing to gain aim
very-thing to lose.'"
When it is recalled that President
Jimenez was elected as a pronounced
anti-American the tallowing remarks
by. him appear significant of the
ihanged attitude on the part ot ttu-
government :
"When I entered 'ottlce.lt was ex-
; ecti il," he said, "that the United
States would insist on refunding our
national debt. On the contrary your
government has never in any way in
terfered or sought to interfere with
my administration. We have been
allowed to settle our own domestic
dittlculti.es." Our relations have been
mot cordial! Now what we need is
more money and more men in tins
country..- You will find here many of
your fellow countrymen managing
large capital of their own or of per
sons who reside in the United States.
Far from frowning upon" their good
luck, we are pleased to see it and as
their gains are not derived through
legislative favors, their prosperity
does not diminish, but on the con
trary, helps to augment vigorously
the prosperity of the nation." Again
he said :
"Mr. Knox Is a charming man
whom we are honored and happy to
welcome. As I have told the Secre
tary the Intercourse between Costa
Rica and the United States has been
without incident or accident with the
exception of the present incident of
the Secretary's trip : to see us at
home and I wish that thivexception
might be the rule." '
The sincerity and cordiality of the
President represents the seeming
general attitude toward Mr. Knox
and his party. They have been mag-
nificently entertained. Among
the
pretty compliments paid on frequent,
occasions was the lifting of their!
hats by the men .In the vicinity!
