LABOR DISSATISFIED, In connection with the advocacy of the eizht hour day by President Wil- =on under the Adamson bill, which in “of reality a bill for the a certain class, it is to be the p ent of the jonal Federation Postofiice Clerks wants to know the eight hour increase of of why day is not enforced in the postal ser- vice. President F tion describes therty of this federa- abuse of the post office clerks as worse under the Wil- son administration than ever before and to the president he writes: “The postal department officials have placed you in the untenable position of ad- voeatinz a principle in private ployment—the eight hour day is not in effect in government employ- ment, solely for a desire for a greater postal surplus. In its treatment of the aged service workers the present administration has been brutal, and in an effort to belittle the worth of the mail collectors a department official told the house postofice committee that the work could be performed by a blind man or a boy. The postal clerks are in much the same position as the non-union rail- way men representing 89 per cent. of the railway employes of the country who want to know why they have been ignored both as to pay and hours in the eight hour bill which the pres- ident pushed throush congress. Their position is that “if there is to be egislation on the subject of compen- sation we want it to cover the whole fleld fairly and equitably” and there appears to be ground for their claim. THE ALLIES AND THE MAILS. For a long been endeavor time this country ns to stop the interfe the mails by Great Brit- rtheless that country has continued to stop vessels, take them into port and remove the mall for examination without rezard to the notes which have been written by this administration. This government has maintained ac- cording to the rules adopted at the vention that neutral mail is This is not denied, but ad- mitted, by the allied nations to which i country protested but they maintain that it is fmpossible to dis- tinguish between the mail of neutrals ond that of the bellizerents without an inspection of the bags, that such cannot be done properly while, a Ves- sel is waiting on the high seas and that there 1s no desire to interrupt the neutral mail any longer than is ab- solutely necessary. The allies therefore maintain that they are doing, only what is within their rights in getting at the mail of belligerents. They have held that they could not be cxpected to yield their rights under the circumstances even thoush the pursuit of their rights results in jnconvenience to the neu- trals. They even point out that at the worst it is only a delay and that there has been no destruction of mail matter and of course no loss of life. They are determined in their course and thus far none of the arguments which have been advanced by this country” have served to alter their position except as to overcoming de- lays, and there are too great advan- lages involved for the allies to aban- flon what they interpret as their rights in the matter. POTATO BREAD FOR A CHANGE. Just Why the department of agri- pulture should come forward at this * HMme with the suggestion that pota- be used in the making of bread quite clear. We are not in- volved in the war and we are living in a period of prosperity according to the campaign talk of the democratic reduce the high cost of living, and the first step which has been taken In that direction is in the form of recom- mending a new recipe for the staff of life. That the suggestions are worth try- ing by the housewives for the sake of tackling something new is not to be questioned. There are many who will doubtless try the mixing of three pounds of bolled or mashed potatoes and two and a half pounds of flour in bread making and it is not improb- able that the combination will satisfy certain tastes even if the price of po- tatoes is not such as to bring about any particular fattening of the pocket- book. Such, however, is a method which the people of Germany were forced to use to make up for a lack of wheat. But this country has wheat enougn for its requirements. Stll it is rec- ommended that we resort to war methods that we may continue to feed Europe and to keep up our false im- pression regarding prosperity. We are not at war but we are paying war taxes. We are not at war but we are urged to resort to war practices. We are not at war but we are forced to pay constantly increasing prices for foodstuffs and all in spite of the fact that it was promised that there would be a lowered cost of living. Potato bread may be made but it will not be accepted very gracefully. SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER It was a novel plea which was put up by a New York man the other day in a magistrate’s court when he sought to escape the penalty for the viola- tion of a law prohibiting smoking in a clothing factory. He told the judge “I was born in America and have been well educated. You should have more consderation for me than for those foreigners caught smoking in the fac- tory Whether he realized it or not he furnished the court the very reason for imposing a heavier fine ir case than in that of the foreigners. Be- cause of the very fact that he was born in this country and had received a good education there were greater reasons to expect that he would re- spect the laws of the land more care- fully than those who had come from inother country. He was In a posi- tion to understand the meaning and the necessity of such a law and be- use of the advantages which he b had his violation of the law was the more serious. The law against smoking in factories was made necessary by the great loss of property and lives which resulted from just such practices and he had every reason for knowing it He didn't plea of norance to favor and it i teresting to note that the fore to whom he refers not malkc of it, but when he claimed that he was entitled to special favors it was time to make an example of him 3nd that the judse proceeded to do.

Bridgeport lo one of its citizens in the sudden taking away of iclande, president of the t'ns‘ hing compa: und editor- ial director of the Bridgeport Post and Bridgeport Telegram. He bhad long been identified with the newspape business in that city and for the longer period with the former journal, in the bulding up of which he gave the best vears of his life. And not only has that unflagzing and effort been reflected in the stri which fiave heen made by that pa but also is it to be found in the ser- vice which he has rendered thereby to the entire community. He was a lead- er in his profession and his hol energy was devoted to labor in behaif of his ideal: He was a an of firm convictions, an earnest advocate of th square deal and the best evidence of his achfevements is the success which has attained in newspaper work. In spite of this, however, he was neve disposed to overrate his own abil to keep it constantly at the front Bridgeport has reason to mourn his loss as the passing of one of its first citizens. Newspaperdom in that city has lost a valiant leader and is probable that had he taken life and work less seriously he would have gst us today. As it is, he left a monument which will not be effaced. valuable been amon: has . EDITORIAL NOTES. Those who are good at guessing are now turning their attention to the U-53 and giving the Bremen a rest. When Rumania went into the war it was for the purpose of hastening the end—the end of the conflict not of Ru- mania. Relatives of those who were killed in Mexico are unable to understand this talk about Wilson keeping us out of war. Those on the to-be-made list who fail to become voters will not be in a position to appreciate the celebration on election night. The man on the corner says: The weather man still gives evidence that he has not been wholly won over to the cause of the coal barons. The allies continue to make progress along the western front, but it is no- ticed that the Germans are not giving up anything untfl they have to. The progress that is being made by the American-Mexican commission doesn't indicate an early adjustment, of the trouble between the nations. Charles E. Hughes laid out and em- balmed the administration in a couple of sticksful. No wonder his answer doesn’t satisfy a lot of the democrats. The move for an earlier Thanksgiv- ing day date may yet be found to have been started by the democrats who realize that they will not be in a mood for it after November 7. Now the concessions to American contractors in China are opposed. Somehow or other it was thought at the time that Japanese consent had ot been secured when China let those contracts. Just how nicely our tariff-for-reve- nue-only policy is working out is shown by the statement that the na- tional treasury deficit for the first quarter is over 50 million as against 32 million a year ago. There doesn’t appear to be any hope that the trouble along the border will be in amy better shape after the tour of duty of the troops which are being sent there is completed. Will those which have just returned north be re- l:a.lled then? i The tall young man in the tennis flannels was enraged. There was not the slightest doubt that he had a right to his wrath, and there was no com- promise in his attitude.. He thrust his hands in his pockets, spread his feet and glared at the exceedingly pretty sirl with tne sunburned neck and the yellow sports suit. “You deliberately ditched me,” he told her coldly. “We had a definite engagement for g, tennis game at 3 o clock—and you %went canoeing with that Osgood man instead!

The young man almost choked {n his indignation at this effrontery. “I like that!” he cried. “Surprised! Well, never! I suppose youw'd be surprised if a man objected when somebody dropped a ton of brick on_his head! You act as _though it was I who was in the wrong! “It is an awfully hot day, Arthur” she told him, soothingly. “The kind of weather that rasps one's nerves, so I'll riook your tonme. But—" ‘Overlook!” spluttered the young man. He sat down and mopped his forefiead in an excess of exasperation. “If there is any overlooking to be done I'm the one to do it! And I don’t pro- pose to—" “I don't suppose,” remarked the pretty girl, musingly, “that there is another girl on earth who'd ever speak to you again after the way vou've talked, except myself!

The old- er portions of the town mre quaint and picturesque, while the industrial sec- tion is thoroughly modern and pro- ive. The chief products of its erous factories are cloth, linens, gold and silver-ware, leather goods, chemicals, machinery and glass. “On the southwest outskirts of the city rises the basaltic hill called Land- eskrone, which commands a magnific- ent view of the entire region. It was on this hill that a peasant boy of the 16th century used to tend his father’s sheep and dream of pails of gold and of visits of mysterious strangers. This boy was Jakob Boehme, (also called Beem, Behmen and Behmont), who was pursuing his trade of master- shoemaker in Gorlitz when he received his first inspiration to write. This famous mystic, who was persistently assafled by Pastor Ricnter of Gorlits throughout his career, is buried in the cemetery of the Chapel of the Holy Cross, and in tl: same God's Acre is the grave of Minna Herzlieb, the or- iginal of ‘Ottilie’ in Goethe’s ‘Elective Affinitles’ and a woman who left the imprint of her personality on some of the finest sonnets of Germany’s great- est man of letters. “In the suburbs of Gorlitz is the battlefleld of Moys (1757) where _the famous Prussian general Hans Karl von - Winterfeldt, for 20 years Freder- ick the Great's most trusted friend and alde, received his first wound in a long career as a soldler, a wound which proved fatal. Winterfeldt owed his first important advance in mili- tary service to his extraordinary height; he attracted the eye of that eccentric monarch. Frederick William I, and was made a lieutenant in the giant’s regiment. He was the unfail- ing friend of the crown prince (after Frederick the Great) curing the trou- blous times when the old monarch had his son court-martialed on a charge of desertion and, according to some biographers, stopped short of order- ing the infliction of the death penalty only at the solicitation of the ambas- sadors of foreign powers. “One of the most highly prized Gor- litz’s possessions is a_war monument whose base contains the first cannon captured during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.

Verdun Came Tom a military point Verdun has come through the ordeal much better than was expected. While the poor inhabitants have suffered zreatly in the loss of homes and belongi yet the military defense of the town is about as good as ever. The Citadel in the center of the town, where the last stand was to be made, un- touched except for shell holes in the heavy masonry walls. These are big enough to smash an ordinary dwelling to pleces, but on these massive walls, twenty feet thick, they are only pin- pricks which can be repaired. The bridges, also, have all escaped damage, and bridges from the military standpoint are very important for the ready transfer of troops, supplies, and refugees from one side of the Meuse to the other. The main bridge, link- ing the principal business street, is flanked along the river by stores and houses torn to pleces by shells and tumbling into the river. But the bridge itself does not show a scratch. And so it is with all the other bridees, It is the same with the ‘routes,” as the military men called them—a general term covering highways lead- ing into the town, railway terminals, tunneys, ete. In the town itself and the nearby suburbs, these “routes” are as good as ever, though further back in the part overrun by tho. Germans they have doubtless suffered a good deal, “But on the whole,” said one of the officers, “we feel that after six months bombardment, Verdun has really suf- fered very little in a military sense, so that the’ tremendous effort made by Germany has been to them a complete military failure,” The bronze statue of Chevert, Mar- shall of France, has tome through the bombardment untouched, ~while all around is a wilderness of ruin. The old general, in seventeenth century costume, still brandishes his sword as he shouts, “en avant” in the attack on Prague. Verdun has always been very proud of its Marshall, who was born here in 1695 and became a marshall under Louis XV. A visit to one of the fortresses in the inner circle of Verdun defenses showed practically a duplicate of Forts Douamont and Vaux, now complete wrecks after being captured ny the Germans. It has the save massive outer walls, twenty feet thick and the height of a three-story row of houses. they Cleveland's SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER used by domestic science teach- ers and baking experts because know it makes the finest and the most wholesome food.

Then the Germans, in order to reach our men, lowered ‘explosive bombs in baskets attached to ropes. As the bombs hung outside our windows, they exploded by a time fuse. “This was becoming very deadly, when one of our crack riflemen came the scene, and taking his rifie he es the ropes, one after the ng the baskets and bombs crash to the foot of the wall. For six days this work went on, but never again a bomb explode near our windows, as our sharpshooter un- failinzly cut the ropes as fast as the baskets were lowered.” Freak Wrought by German Shell. While the shelling of Verdun has a tremendous amount of damagz there is one remarkable which a German bomb: 5 performed a very uscful pieco engineering.

Besides that, the same shell knocked down two large trees at end of the Lunnel, which fell acro: the river in such a way that th formed the foundation of a bridse. After the smoke had cleared away and the wreckage had been inspecte General Dubois_concluded that the path of the shel would be turned to useful account. The jagged hole through fortifications was Ppro up and cemented, and represents the appearance of z00d-look archw Iying across river, were pro- anehored at either end, and a solid upper structure with ornamental idc railings, was constructed.

The United States must be pre- pared to meet this competition as soon s the war is over, and trade restored to normal conditions. It is not only in the competitive makret that these nations will seek customers, but in the Uniter States, the most attractive of all markets. Does anyone believe the United States can maintain its stand- ing as an exporter against the com- bined opposition of Burope, and at the same time retain control of its home market, if the democratic doctrine of free trade prevails? It may serye to emphasize the sum- ming up of %he situation, if cmphasis were needed, to state that on Septem- ber 20,1916, the deficit in the United |States’ treasury account, for the fiscal year that began on July 1, was $53, 725,586.55. For the first twenty days of September alone the deficit In revenue was $21,609,486.67. In other words, with the greatest foreign trade ever recorded for any country the business of the United States is falling behind at this time at the rate of a million dol- lars a day under the administration of the democratic party.—Omaha Bee. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Cummings’ Diatribe. = Mr. Editor:—Mr. Cummings evi- dently realizing that he has been worsted, bottled and corked, in every- thing like argument, now seems to nk he can do a little stunt in the role of ridicule. Note nis menagerie of types and animals. A week ago he urged that the inspiration of true Americanism was “the deeds of all Europe,” but now he finds that a lot of European deeds are only. fit for his execration and denunication. _ To him, now, the hyphen is an odious think and looks bad, but only in all colors but his and that is the real trouble with the hyphen. It is generi- cally bad, because it is always easier for some men to abrogate and for- swear every country and potentate other than, as is required, especially that country and potentate of which the candidate.is now or has been a subject. Good men and true, how- ever, can do this, and are proud to swap that word “subject” for ‘“citi- zen”, especially in this free republic. Mr. Cummings' letter reminds us of the carlier Chinese army that used to throw stink pots at tne enemy, and vhich has been improved on in’ later warfare; but it is not a sign of valor nor strength, but the reverse even in a newspaper controversy. U. S. AMERICA. Norwich, October 17, 1916. Monomania. Mr. Editor:—I really think it is a shame the way some of your readers deride J. H. Cummings every time he tries to promulgate hyw pet theme of hatred, which has become a primary and controlling passion witih him. Never having yet advanced a plausi- ble argument in favor of his vicious sentiment the werd humiliation must look like a conglomeration of hyphens. Every effect has its cause and it is evident he has been crossed in love, for he has no love for the Anglo- s: race probably because of its past Tory associationw, yet he con- demns and encourages this rule by pulling the wires for the ultra Tories who are supposed to represent the people of Connecticut in Congress and whe have heen repudiated by the e Tederation of Labor because of r flagrant examples of oppression. Cummings would laud them to 1s being men after his own It doesn't occur to him that ic_wrongs are the great des- of social peace and order. Here President Wilson's un- n acts—appointed the radical Yet the skies heart.

These acts savor of to the president’s credit be it said, he has stood lovally by these appointees in the face of the most bitter opposi- tion. Cummings_evidently suffers from monomania.
