This not mean that; such flights are not possibie or that such gervice wil be establighed but it eannot fail to ve the impres- sion that the postoffic epartment should have zliven more attention to its preparations and been reasonably sure af its success beforc attempting anything of the kind It is all right to t the rea- son for the fizzle t the ma- chines which had been turned out by the war department were made on rush gpders and had not been tested for the service expected of them, and that it was not known how they would behave bn long flights, but it is perfectly evident that ch should have Been avoided by the making of the tests before attempting to urate such a service. There was special reason why it should have been established last week. Next month or later would not only have done just as well but as it works out, much bet- ter if by waiting a creditable showing could de made. The things which were neglected In this ipstance were the very things which ghould have been carefully de- y t all termined. It doesn't reflept favorably upon the postoffice department and judgment which is used by it, and it certainly eannot inspire confidence pn the part of the people in the advocacy by Mr. Burleson of the government control of the wire lines of the coun- try, even if there was any inclination on thelr part to be interested in such a progosition. THE SILVER CHEVRONS. Althgugh it may not Mav ticipatad at the time, it teen made evident since that the per- mission given to men in the servic who did net get a chance to go over- seas tg wear silver chevrons has not met with the cordial tiod that been an- 13 doubtiess 3 ions have been placed upon the uniforms for the pur- pese of telling the rank of and service performed by the individual They are understood for the most part by those i the service but not many aute side, upless they have made a study of them or carry a chart about with them, can make anything out of g large pertion of the decorations. The latest thing is the silver chev- ton and it is chiefly because it calls attention to the fact that those wear- ing such did not go out of the coun- try and therefore may selm not to have dgne their bit as fully as oth- that the designation has been overseas wepe given gold chevrons, That started the ball rolling. It didn't please these on this side to be left qut without any and to meet the result. ing situgtion’ it was decided that those in the service in this country, though it was o fauit of theirs that they did not go acposs, should have sily chevrons. That, likewise, has failed tg set well, for it discriminates ard there Is no lttle weight to the claim that many whe went across did no more than these who remained at home, since they were not concerned in the sectual fighting. Thus the effort to settle the ghevron privilege can hard- Iy be comsidered a success, and cep- tainly there is no reason for belittling the patpietie and efficient service rep- dered on this side of thé water. STATE MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS Accotding to the decision which has Leen repdered by the judgo advocate general and supported by the secretary of war, the national guard units upon their return and discharge will go out of existenee. This is because they lost their identity when .they were taken into the federal service and it fs fully undesstood that they have been 50 changed since that time that thess s little left of the original units, whetber through transfers or losses. The decision, however, does not stand in the way of the reorganization of the mational guard bodies under state contrel and receiving federal aig even as prevailed before the opening of the war, Many of thése organiza- tions had attained an enviable record in state service and have gloriously -Lnulm it during the war. The he 5. ir rating they were se- UlIOMI m‘m -IIG’ of the hard service! en who were in the serviee|® for the claim that the German war- ships which have been delivered to the allied nations could nat be distributed withont friction, and that as a con-, sequence it would be necessary to take the vessels out and sink them and thus waste a billion doliars® worth of material to. avoid frouble, it is auite eyident that the same sort of pro- cedura would have to be followed re- garding the merchant ships which have bean tafen over from the former central powers. If a division could not be made resarding warships it would be equally impossible to do any hetter with other ships. But there has been no thought of intentionally sinking the merchant ships and the assurancé from Wash- ington is to the effect that such an idea regarding the naval vessels h: never been urged or supported hy America's representatives in Burope. It has been announced, however, that the cargo shins will be used for the meeting of the needs of the allies and when that service has been perform: they will be divided amonsg the nati in accord with the nlan wh peace conference will agree upon. Tiy has a sensible sound, and certpin what can be dome with that type of vessel can be done with those which have been censtructed for the purpose of war. It is thys made quite evident that there is no chance fdr a quarrel among the allies over such a matter wl s so suscentible to a reasona justment. It is indeed unfort that the impression was allowed fo go | eat ranien, whose bag whs green. “I ‘don't see,” begun the girl with the purple kaitting bag, “why disa- greeable people are so attractive.” “Attractive!” exclaimed her com- “Well, T can’t say that I ever thought they were. ~ Quite the opposite!” “Oh, T don't mean pleasantly attrac- tive in the ordinary sense of the ward. 1 mean attractive—like a magnet, 1 was thinking of Annabel.

I think she feels that the war is a personal grie because it has deprived her brother to henpack. of She spant most of her time on the veranda sulking. a ow, Annabel wasn't the only one who liked that veranda. The women all assembled there eyery morning for a kpitting bee, The first Morning some one asked Annabel why she afdn’t knit, and you should have heard Annabel's answer! It was something about one knitting machine worku faster than forty women and how pi triotism was not just a matter of clothing, any way, After she got through speaking and retired into her back with a ‘don’t disturb me’ aid therq was-a change like a storm Every one as glad when the luncheon bel! rang. “Next morning the women all gath- ered in a far end and spoke in low ines, as if out of re: Reet to Annabel. md then to sez NOT inee one cared if she did, but it was t a sort of instinct.
