To Go To France As Mail Clerk

Rosa Benjamin has received notification from the war department that his application asking that he be permitted to go ttf- France to act in the capicity of a mail clerk for the government has- been acted, upon favorably, and that he shall proceed at once to Washington, D. C. Mr. Benjamin will leave for Washington Tuesday, where he will appear before the second assistant to Post-master-General Burleson and receive instructions. It is probable that he will be ordered to proceed at once to New York city preparatory to sailing for France. Mr. Benjamin made application some time ago for this branch of the service and was agreeably surprised when informed that he was to be given the opportunity of visiting the War zone. However, the call came a little earlier than he expected as he was under the impression that he would be called about March 1. Ross has been in the employment of the government as a mail clerk for the past eight years and is thoroughly capable of giving the government valuable assistance in this branch of the service.
