INEVITABLE DELAYS
POSTAL SERVICES INTERRUPTED (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 19, The ‘ Daily Telegraph ’ says that telegsams sent by train, letters left lying at railway stations for days, and telephone lines completely out of action without apparent reason, are among complaints being made at post offices. The Postmaster-General, Mr W. S. Morrison, announced that “ a very heavy delay was inevitable.” Letters are taking a week to reach their destination, but the average delay is about four days. Post offices throughout London from September 23 will remain open after raid warnings. The offices are being made blast and splinter proof.
