It is but a j step from t'ris to putting all telegrams, as well as the j r.iht letter ones. In the mail bags, and probably w 1 miht as v. til make up our minds to that impends iiurlesonian achievement to the- end that w? be recon- : led to the worst when the worst comes. Still another rather ingenious device to proore pubOc annuyance and to discourage telegraphic eorumun ration is the great DurkFonian idea of refusing to furnish copies of ttlecjrains for confirmation of charged : '.'ems. This is a money-iuakins arrangement in two ! way?. It saves ink or wear and tear of typewriters for c ne thirty, and there is always the chance of getting in a , charge Tor a message -which waa not snt. Naturally t 1 he nin-receipt by the addressee of a telejtrarhic Dies- ' sase would be of no avail as evidence a.xa'nst a Durle-.-on rharze for transmission. The percentage of tele- ! frraias lost in transit by mail naturally would be strongly ! presumptive against any claim that a particular mesi sage charged for was never sent. Thus do a hamstring j tHejxaph service and a hamstrung mail service beautij fully interlock. In this case the method of public annoyance and the barring of a check against false or erroneous charges is I quite analogous to the politicalmaster general's device

for preventing an incontestable record of the time consumed in the transit of letters in his remarkable mail service. He did that by forbidding the stamping of the date of receipt at postoff.ces on the backs of letters. In one instance, indeed, this precaution was carried to the extent, of even changing the mailing date itself after it

th allies and not to the United States alone, it was 1 naij once been stamped on a letter. But that waa a case

bieh time. It is quite probable that France and England pot decidedly wenry of having- communications from their enemy come by way of Washington, and it certainly was high time that this government began to realize that France and Ensrland ought to have a little to say as they waged war on the brutal Hun for three years before we got into it. Germany of course was pleased to ignore all international diplomatic courtesy and instead of addressing her plaints to the aiiies jointly for several months has been sticking her thumb to her nose at France and England and belching across the Atlantic to Washington. Germany's blats are getting monotonous to Ihe people of this country anyway. Notorious as a poor sportsman and a bad lo-er, fince she got good and properly licked, instead of taking her medicine like a good sport, she ha.3 spent considerable time squawking by wireless to Washington. Her latest yelp i.s a whine from women members of the International Council to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Miss Jane Addams. the latter a notorious pacifist. Wbat have either of these women got to- do with the armistice terms and the pace table? When Germany was brutally starving Belgium, raping women and mutilating children, did Anita Augsberg, Gertrude Haumer and Alice Soliman of Germany ask the United States to interfere in behalf of the marHred Belgians? Not so you could notice it, did they! Thre was never a word of protest or talking of humanity from the Internationalists at that time. The state department did the right thing to tell Ger many to do her yelping to the allies. If Germany wants any sympathy she'd better look for it elsewhere. Perhaps the Ausfrians, the Turks and the Bulgarians have some they can spare for her.

NOT TO BE SNEERED AT. TTe was standing at the bulletin board when the news was put there tht- another big Liberty Loan would be necessary" 5n March, and he made probably what he considered a sneering remark. Well, he thereby showed his class, or lack of it. Neither he nor anyone else needs to lose a moment's sleep that the fifth Liberty loan will not he generously oversubscribed no matter how large it is, if present indications are any criterion. It will probably be the last Liberty loan that will be set before the people of the United States, and people will he so glad to subscribe they will fall all over themselves to get the bonds. It will be their last chance and because United States r)onds are a most desirable thing to have everybody will want one or more. We predict there will be a scramble for them because they will grow more and more valuable as the years go on. As an investment noth;ng will erjual them. People who have Liberty bonds should rejoice In their possession. They should by all means nan;; on to them for the day will come whn they will thank their lucky stars that Uncle Sam gave them an opportunity to buy them.

of distinct embarrassment to the politicalmaster general's department. The letter in question was deliverVl to the person to whom it was addressed something like a year after that person had attended the funeral of the man who had written it! North American Review.

A BUNGLED JOB. TThatever is the matter with that branch of the war department that makes the casualty announcements? While it is only reasonable to expect occasional errors to he made, It is not reasonable to expect so many as sre made. It is fair to assume that the experience of people in this community is that of people in olher communities, pnd it ill have to be admitted that here the service has been pbominable. Men have ben reported to their relatives as dead who were not dead, but infinitely more regrettable is the failure to report the demise

. WE KNEW WHEN WE GOT BUSY. A prominent non-partisan paper says that "it was known that. Germany was goin?.to surrender. The world which understands has known that ever since August, 1914." Nothing could be more absurd. ' The world which understand hai not known anything of the kind. Since August, 1914, the Huns have twice had their armies In dangerous proximity to Paris. It was in September, 191. that the French capital was withdrawn from Paris to Bordeaux in the anticipation of capture of Pari3. Since 1314 the Germans bad so nearly obtained control of shipping to Great Britain that it looked as though that nation might be starved into surrender. While Belgium waa in the hands of the Huns, and France was at the point of surrender and Great Britain was in danger of starvation, President Wilson was insisting upon the right of the Unitd tSates to sell goods to Germany. "Read the correspondence of October 21 ,1315, if you don't believe it The allies at that time could expect no help from America for President Wilson had declared after the sinking of the Lusitanias that we were too proud to fight. It was in August, 1916, that he loaded a cargo of war goods aboard the Denfsehlind in Baltimore harbor and sent the same to the relief of the kaiser. It was on October 7, 1916, that we entertained the officers of a German submarine in the harbor of Newport, and it waa one day later that the submarine sank five British and neutral steamers off Nantucket. It was in November, 1916, that we again loaded the D-?utschhind with war supplies, this time at New London, Conn., and sent them to the kaiser as a token of our neutrality. It was January 22, 1917, that President Wilson declared in the most deliberate manner that there must be peace without victory. How, then, can any roan in hi3 right mind say that the world, which understands has known ever since Aligns, 1914. that Germany was going to surrender? Neither the world nor any part of it that understood has known anything of the kind, nor did anyone know it until an impatient American people insisted that delay and inefficiency must cease and that ships must b 'hnilt and aircraft constructed and men transported, so that the world should be saved from the ravages of the Hun. The German hordes coursed hack and forth across Trance without hindrance from America until American pride would ro loneer censent that this nation should go down in history as an idle spectator to the most diabolical rapacity in the annals of time. The ultimate surr?nder of Germany has been certain ever sine an outraged American conscience refused to longer acquiesce in the most deplorable lnacivity ever maintained by a nation that pretended to he at war. That is the limit of certainty as to the surrender of Germany, and even that was not very certain when the president bpcan his exchange of peace notes with the kaiser in the fall of 191$.

IT may seem like a secondary matter at this critical juncture, but: one of the most difficult matters which Germany is called upon to face is that of getting rid of the von Hindenburg wooden statue without being seen and laughed at by the rest of the world, says the Christian Science Monitor.
